Chemical substitutions in the structure of the pyrimido-pyrimidine nucleus give rise to pyrimidopyrimidine compounds with platelet antiaggregatory effects, such as RA-8 (dipyridamole), RA233 (mopidamol) and RA-642. All these compounds inhibit platelet aggregation-induced by ADP through an increase in platelet CAMP levels (1,2). Mopidamol, however, is 3-10 times more potent than dipyridamole and...

At our institution, we place HeRO grafts in ...
