Biochem/physiol Actions

Treprostinil elicits a longer half-life when compared with iloprost. It mediates inhibition of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways. Treprostinil effectively reduces right ventricular systolic pressure and inhibits the recruitment of circulating fibrocyte.
Treprostinil is a stable synthetic analog of prostacyclin (prostaglandin PGI2), an IP receptor agonist used clinically for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is a potent vasodilator with antithrombotic, antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties.

The intravenous or subcutaneous delivery of prostanoid drugs for moderate to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension has been fraught with complications and patient dissatisfaction. Combination therapy including inhaled treprostinil is an attractive alternative in clinically stable patients. Uncertainties exist about the
