PCT No. PCT/US93/09387 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 20, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 20, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 1, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/07918 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 14, 1994This invention relates to antithrombotic agents and uses thereof. Specifically, the invention relates to chemical moieties that specifically bind to platelets and inhibit their aggregation, including linear and cyclic peptides. The invention provides methods for using these antithrombotic agents to prevent the formation of thrombi at sites in a mammalian body. In particular, the platelet-specific binding moieties including linear and cyclic peptides of the invention are covalently linked to a polyvalent linker moiety, so that the polyvalent linker moiety is covalently linked to a multiplicity of the platelet-specific binding moieties including linear and cyclic peptides. Efficacious antithrombotic agents are thereby provided.
