MK 287 is a potent, selective and orally active antagonist of platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR). MK 287 can inhibit [3H]C18-PAF binding to human platelet, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) and lung membranes with K1 values of 6.1, 3.2, and 5.49 nM, respectively. MK 287 can inhibit PAF-induced aggregation of platelets in plasma or gel-filtered platelets and elastase release from PMNs with ED50 values of 56, 1.5 and 4.4 nM. MK 287 can be used for the research of cardiovascular disease, such as thrombosis.
