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

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
