Intravenous injection of chloramine derivatives of amino acids and taurine reduced the mortality rate in mice with thrombosis induced by intravenous injection of ADP or collagen-epinephrine mixture. Intravenous injection of N,N-dichlorotaurine caused 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by ADP and measured in the platelet-enriched plasma in vitro. The antithrombotic effect of chloramine derivatives of amino acids and taurine is related to their ability to suppress functional activity of platelets.

The effects of taurine chloramine derivatives on initial aggregation of isolated platelets suspended in buffered saline were studied. Inhibition of ADP-induced aggregation in pure cell suspension depended on the structure of chloramine antiaggregants. The most effective of them was N,N-dichlorotaurine; its concentration needed for 50% inhibition of aggregation was about 0.1 mM. Weaker antiaggregants N-chloro-N-methyltaurine and N-chlorotaurine in a final concentration of 0.5 mM reduced platelet aggregation by only 10%. The studied chloramines considerably differed by their characteristics (velocity of the reaction with sulfur-containing groups of atoms). N,N-dichlorotaurine exhibited the weakest reactivity with methionine thioester group. In turn, the velocity constant with reduced glutathione was by 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that of other chloramines. Antiaggregant effect of taurine chloramine derivatives was 2-fold higher in the presence of serum albumin, presumably due to special interactions of taurine chloramines in complex with albumin with platelets.

Comparison of antiaggregation capacity of N-chloramine acids with different position of the chloramine group in the molecule showed that in the most efficient compounds the distance between the chloramine and carboxyl groups was 3-5 carbon atoms. This feature of antiaggregation activity was not related to the difference in oxidation capacity of N-chloramine acids. It was hypothesized that the revealed structural dependence of antiaggregation activity of N-chloramine acids is determined by the structure of platelet membrane, in particular, the presence of a negatively charged group near the site of interaction between N-chloramine acids and platelet membrane.
