All samples were prepared as described in Table 3. Washed platelets in HEPES-Tyrode buffer were preincubated with 0.01% DMSO or 100 μg/ml of samples for 10 minutes at 37°C and then stimulated with collagen (1 μg/ml). Platelet aggregation was monitored in a platelet aggregometer (Chronolog Corp., Havertown, PA) at 37°C with stirring (1,000 rpm).
