Studies on new antiplatelet agents, WS-30581 A and B

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1984 Oct;37(10):1153-60. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.37.1153.

Abstract

WS-30581 A and B are antiplatelet agents produced by a strain of Streptoverticillium waksmanii. The compounds were purified by solvent extraction and column chromatography, and identified as new pimprinine analogs on the basis of their physico-chemical properties. The producing organism produced pimprinine along with these compounds. Pimprinine and the two new analogs have potent inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation.
