Inhibition of platelet activation and thrombus formation by adenosine and inosine: studies on their relative contribution and molecular modeling.

The inhibitory effect of adenosine on platelet aggregation is abrogated after the addition of adenosine-deaminase. Inosine is a naturally occurring nucleoside degraded from adenosine.The mechanisms of antiplatelet action of adenosine and inosine in vitro and in vivo, and their differential biologica...
