Beraprost

Beraprost 화학적 특성, 용도, 생산

• 용도

  Platelet aggregation inhibitor; stable analog of Prostacyclin. Antithrombotic; vasodilator (peripheral).

• Mechanism of action

  Beraprost is a chemically stable, oral form of prostacyclin that is readily absorbed from GI tract. Like natural prostacyclin, beraprost dilates blood vessels, prevents platelet aggregation, and prevents proliferation of smooth muscle cells surrounding blood vessels. It may be an important treatment for early stage PVD and for early stage pulmonary hypertension. Intermittent oral doses of beraprost, however, do not seem to provide the consistent blood levels necessary to treat the advanced stages of pulmonary hypertension.

• Clinical Use

  Beraprost is an oral formulation of a prostacyclin analog for the treatment of early stage pulmonary hypertension as well as early stage PVD.

• 부작용

  Adverse effects include headache, flushing, jaw pain, and diarrhea.

• 효소 저해제

  This orally active epoprostenol analogue (FW = 398.50 g/mol; CAS 88475- 69-8; Soluble to 25 mM in DMSO), also named TRA-418 and 2,3,3a,8b- tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-1- (3-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-octen-6-yn-1-yl) -1H- cyclopenta[b]benzofuran-5-butanoic acid, is a potent agonist for the Prostacyclin Receptor, a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor. Beraprost potently inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation (pIC50 = 8.26) and P-selectin expression in vitro (pIC50 = 8.56). It also increases vasodilation and reduces pulmonary hypertension in vivo. TRA-418 inhibited platelet GPIIb/IIIa activation as well as induction of P-selectin expression by adenosine 5'-diphosphate, Thrombin Receptor Agonist Peptide 1-6 (Ser-Phe-Leu-Leu-Arg-Asn-NH2), and U-46619 in the presence of epinephrine. TRA-418 also inhibits platelet aggregation induced by those platelet-stimulants in Ca2+-chelating anticoagulant, citrate and in nonchelating anticoagulant, d-phenylalanyl-l- prolyl-l-arginyl-chloromethyl ketone (PPACK). The TP-receptor antagonist SQ-29548 inhibited only U-46619+epinephrine-induced GPIIb/IIIa activation, P-selectin expression, and platelet aggregation. The IP-receptor agonist beraprost sodium inhibited platelet activation. Beraprost also inhibited platelet aggregation induced by platelet stimulants we tested in citrate and in PPACK. The GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor abciximab blocked GPIIb/IIIa activation and platelet aggregation. However, abciximab showed slight inhibitory effects on P-selectin expression. TRA-418 is more advantageous as an antiplatelet agent than TP-receptor antagonists or IP- receptor agonists separately used. TRA-418 showed a different inhibitory profile from abciximab in the effects on P-selectin expression.
