Key result
In vitro, NCX 4016 inhibited platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation through both nitric oxide release and cyclo-oxygenase inhibition, effects not seen with acetylsalicylic acid alone.

NCX 4016's dual antiplatelet effects merit further study; leaves open clinical translation versus acetylsalicylic acid.
Does NCX 4016 inhibit platelet activation and aggregation compared to acetylsalicylic acid in an in vitro model?
NCX 4016 demonstrates dual antiplatelet mechanisms through both nitric oxide release and cyclo-oxygenase inhibition in vitro, showing broader inhibitory effects on early platelet activation than acetylsalicylic acid.
Lechi et al. (1996) studied this question. NCX 4016 vs. acetylsalicylic acid was evaluated on Platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation. In vitro, NCX 4016 inhibited platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation through both nitric oxide release and cyclo-oxygenase inhibition, effects not seen with acetylsalicylic acid alone.
