Dysregulation of TXA synthase and an imbalance in the prostacyclin-thromboxane ratio are thought to underlie many pathological conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension. [18] Because thromboxanes play a role in vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation, their dominance can disrupt vascular homeostasis and cause thrombotic vascular events.
Thromboxane synthase inhibitors inhibit the final enzyme (thromboxane synthase) in the synthesis of thromboxane. Ifetroban is a potent and selective thromboxane receptor antagonist. [10] Dipyridamole antagonizes this receptor too, but has various other mechanisms of antiplatelet activity as well.
Notable ones include thromboxane synthase (CYP5), prostacyclin synthase (CYP8), and CYP74A (allene oxide synthase). The most common reaction catalyzed by cytochromes P450 is a monooxygenase reaction, e.g., insertion of one atom of oxygen into the aliphatic position of an organic substrate (RH), while the other oxygen atom is reduced to water:
Thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2) is generated from prostaglandin H 2 by thromboxane-A synthase in a metabolic reaction which generates approximately equal amounts of 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT). Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase 1 preventing the formation of prostaglandin H 2, and therefore TXA 2.
This can be explained by the rapid formation of Valdecoxib. In contrast to the rapid clearance of Parecoxib, plasma concentration of Valdecoxib declines slowly because of a longer half-life. [19] On the other hand, when Valdecoxib is taken orally it is absorbed rapidly (1–2 hours), but presence of food can delay peak serum concentration.
By Prostacyclin synthase into prostacyclin (PGI2) By Thromboxane synthase into thromboxanes TXA; Arachidonic acid is made up of a 20-Carbon unnatural poly unsaturated Omega-fatty acid. [1] Arachidonic acid presents within the phospholipid bi-layer as well as in the plasma membrane of a cell.
A decrease in Thromboxane-A synthase leads to an increase in prostaglandin E2 levels which may affect erythroid precursor cells by suppressing them which likely leads to refractory anemia. [ 15 ] There are still unanswered questions about the effect of a compromised TBXAS1 gene function and its effect in Ghosal hematodiaphyseal dysplasia.
The thromboxane receptor (TP) also known as the prostanoid TP receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBXA2R gene, The thromboxane receptor is one among the five classes of prostanoid receptors [5] and was the first eicosanoid receptor cloned. [6] The TP receptor derives its name from its preferred endogenous ligand thromboxane A ...
