Biochem/physiol Actions

Ramatroban aids in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, lipopolysaccharide-induced shock, and vagal neuroeffector transmission in the tracheal smooth muscle of experimental models. In addition, it also suppresses allergen and IgE antibody-mediated skin and nasal reactions and eosinophilia in animal models with asthma.
Ramatroban is used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis as an antagonist of the thromboxane receptor. It is also an antagonist of the DP2 receptor with IC50 values of 100-170 nM. It is more potent at the DP2 receptor than the TP receptor by 4-5 fold. It is therefore a useful tool for the elucidation of PGD2/DP2 function in eosinophils, basophils, and other cells of the TH2 cell-type.

A chemoenzymatic asymmetric route for the preparation of enantiopure (R)-ramatroban has been developed for the first time. The action of lipases and oxidoreductases has been independently studied, and both were found as excellent biocatalysts for the production of adequate chiral

Chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule of Th2 cells (CRTH2) has been shown to mediate the chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils and Th2-type T lymphocytes. The major mast cell product prostaglandin (PG) D(2) is considered to be the principal ligand of CRTH2. We

The pathogenesis of eosinophilic otitis media is not yet fully understood. The purpose of this paper is to describe the clinical course of our two patients with eosinophilic otitis media and to discuss the pathogenesis and treatment of this intractable

We previously showed that ramatroban (Baynastrade mark), a thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) antagonist, had inhibited prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2))-stimulated human eosinophil migration mediated through activation of chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2). However, detailed pharmacological characterization of its inhibitory activity

PGD2, produced by mast cells, has been detected in high concentrations at sites of allergic inflammation. It can stimulate vascular and other inflammatory responses by interaction with D prostanoid receptor (DP) and chemoattractant receptor-like molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2)
