- PRGDMP-type peptides more strongly inhibited the platelet aggregation than ARGDDX-type peptides.
- Cyclic peptide (CPRGDMPC) most strongly inhibited the platelet aggregation and binding between αIIbβ3 and fibrinogen.
- Cyclic peptide (CPRGDMPC) demonstrated a stronger inhibitory and more stable effect in the presence of Mg2+ compared with Ca2+.
Elegantin and angustatin, which were isolated from the snake venoms of Protobothrops elegans and Dendroaspis angusticeps, markedly inhibit binding between platelet integrins and fibrinogen via the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence. Angustatin, which is a three-finger toxin containing the RGD sequence, inhibits platelet aggregation almost ten times more strongly than disintegrin isolated from the venoms of Viperidae and Crotalidae. The RGD sequences of both polypeptides are located at the top of hairpin loops, and the composition of the RGD loop is very important for binding to integrin. We investigated the effects of synthetic RGD loop peptides from angustatin and elegantin on ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation and αIIbβ3-fibrinogen binding. Synthetic angustatin (PRGDMP)-type peptides inhibited platelet aggregation more strongly than elegantin (ARGDDX)-type peptides. In particular, the cyclic angustatin peptide (CPRGDMPC) inhibited ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation at least 10-50 times more strongly than the other peptides. The cyclic angustatin peptide (CPRGDMPC) was also the strongest inhibitor of binding between αIIbβ3 and fibrinogen, the IC50 of this peptide was approximately 2.58 μM. Regarding the inhibition of binding between αIIbβ3 and fibrinogen, CPRGDMPC demonstrated a stronger inhibitory and more stable effect in the presence of Mg2+ than in the presence of Ca2+.
