General description

Cilostazol prevents platelet aggregation and has vasodilatory properties. It is used to treat chronic arterial disease and intermittent claudication. Cilostazol has antiproliferative effects and improves the properties of prostacyclin. It regulates cell proliferation, stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level and induces cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Application

Cilostazol has been used:
  • to reduce Madin–Darby cell line (MDCK) proliferation through c-Myc down-regulation
  • in the in vitro assessment of toxin delivery in T84 intestinal epithelial cells
  • to induce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release in white adipocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

Background and Objective: Our previous study demonstrated that consistent treatment of oral cilostazol was effective in reducing levels of painful peripheral neuropathy in streptozotocin-induced type I diabetic rats. As diabetic neuropathy is characterized by hyperglycemia-induced nerve damage in the periphery
Pannexin-1 mediated ATP release in adipocytes is sensitive to glucose and insulin and modulates lipolysis and macrophage migration

Cilostazol is a generic drug with antiplatelet and antiproliferative effects. It is unclear whether adding cilostazol to standard dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) after percutaneous coronary intervention reduces restenosis and improves the outcomes. We, therefore, conducted a systematic review
