The possibility that the prostacyclin analogues AFP-07 and cicaprost relax saphenous vein preparations of pig, guinea-pig and rabbit by simultaneously activating prostanoid EP4 and IP (prostacyclin) receptors was investigated using the high-affinity EP4 antagonist GW 627368. The IP receptor system

The specific prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist cicaprost relaxed human pulmonary artery preparations precontracted with phenylephrine [50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) approximately 0.6 nM], U-46619 (IC50 approximately 0.9 nM), and K+ (approximately 40% maximal relaxation); endothelium removal had little effect on relaxant
A possible mechanism by which prostacyclin (PGI2) analogues provide beneficial effects including improved survival in shock experimentally induced by endotoxin, polytrauma or hypovolemia was studied. Since several studies have implicated oxygen free radical-mediated tissue damage, we investigated whether PGI2-analogues exert

The effects of low dose human superoxide dismutase and low dose taprostene, a stable analogue of prostacyclin, were investigated separately and together in a model of myocardial ischemia (1.5 h) with reperfusion (4.5 h) in open chest, anesthetized cats. Taprostene
Prostacyclin (PGI2) and taprostene (CG-4203) were studied in a highly lethal model of splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock in pentobarbital anesthetized rats. Total occlusion of the superior mesenteric and celiac arteries for 40 min resulted in a severe shock state
