A series of Leu-(Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln) dipeptides were synthesized and tested for their effect on human platelet aggregation in vitro induced by collagen, ADP, or adrenaline. It was found that only Leu-Asp-NH2 and Leu-Asn-NH2 inhibit rather strongly platelet aggregation, whereas a small inhibition was observed with Leu-Glu-NH2 and Leu-Gln-NH2, respectively.
