Abstract: A new method to synthesize the platelet-activating factor antagonist which is a derivative of thienotriazolodiazepene, tetrahydro-4,7,8,10 methyl-1(chloro-2 phenyl)-6 (methosy-4 phenyl carbamoyl)-9 pyrido[4,3-:4,5] thieno[3,2-f] triazolo-1,2,4 [4,3-?] diazepine-1,4] (1) is disclosed. The compound synethesized by this new method has been designated “LAU-8080” which has the same structure as the compound currently named in the literature as “BN-50730.” LAU-8080 was shown to prevent photoreceptor cell death, inhibit pathological neovascularization in the retina, and minimize the loss of neurons due to ischemic-reperfusion damage due to stroke. Thus LAU-8080 can be used to treat the retinal diseases of age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and diabetic retinopathy. It can also be used to minimize the neuronal damage due to stroke.

Abstract: A novel use of platelet-activating factor antagonists that bind to intracellular PAF binding sites such as BN-50730 (tetrahedra-4,7,8,10 methyl-1 (chloro-1 phenyl)-6 (methoxy-4 phenyl-carbamoyl)-9 pyrido [4?,3?-4,5] thieno [3,2-f] triazolo-1,2,4 [4,3-a] diazepine-1,4) has been discovered. These intracellular-binding platelet-activating factor antagonists were found to inhibit both in vivo and in vitro tumor growth and angiogenesis where the angiogenesis is stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor.
