Obovatol has various biological activities, including anti-proliferative, neurotrophic, anti-fibrillogenic, antiplatelet, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of JJK694, a synthesized obovatol derivative, on rabbit platelet activation and its molecular mechanisms. JJK694 significantly inhibited washed rabbit platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion induced by collagen and arachidonic acid, but had little effect on thrombin- or U46619-induced aggregation. These results suggest that JJK694 selectively inhibits collagen- and arachidonic acid-mediated signaling. JJK694 also showed a concentration-dependent decrease in cytosolic Ca2+ mobilization, but it had no effect on arachidonic acid liberation. On the other hand, it significantly inhibited the formation of arachidonic acid metabolites, including thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)), prostaglandin D-2, and 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), by suppression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities. These results indicate that JJK694 hasanti-platelet activities through inhibition of arachidonic acid metabolite production by suppression of COX-1 and LOX activities.
