We studied the anti-platelet aggregation activity of beta-pyridyl-carbinol (b-PC) (Ronicol, Roche). This compound has a chemical structure similar to nicotinic acid and is therapeutically indicated in functional and organic circulatory processes. We determined the in vitro antiaggregation activity induced by
