BMY 45778

Uses

BMY 45778 is an agonist for IP receptor to up-regulate the expression of C?/EBPβ and C?/EBPδ.

Definition

ChEBI: BMY 45778 is a bisoxazole. It has a role as a partial prostacyclin agonist.

Biological Activity

Non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetic that acts as a partial agonist at IP 1 prostacyclin receptors. Potently inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro (IC 50 = 27-35 nM).

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMY 45778 is a non-prostanoid prostacyclin agonist.
