  1. Experiments were conducted three times using different platelets preparations. 1Ratio of concentrations of bioactive compounds in each mixture. 2IC50 values are expressed as μg/mL of each antibiotic in the mixture that was added in the aggregometre cuvette. Final concentration of PAF in the aggregometer cuvette when tested in WRPs was 4.4 × 10-11M. WRPs: Washed Rabbit Platelets.
