Application

Ozagrel hydrochloride hydrate has been used as a thromboxane synthase inhibitor:
  • in high cholesterol-diet rats (HC) to test its effect on arteriolar constriction
  • to pre-treat mice to test its effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced behavioral changes
  • to test its effect on arteriolar vasoconstriction in hyperglycemic mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ozagrel is useful in treating lacunar and thrombotic stroke. It blocks vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation. Ozagrel aids in improving the prostacyclin (PGI2)/ thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in the acute phase of cerebral ischemia. It improves endothelial dysfunction in L-methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-induced vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID).
Ozagrel is a selective thromboxane A2 synthase (TXA2) inhibitor.

The present study investigates the effect of ozagrel, a selective thromboxane A2 (TXA2) inhibitor, in rat model of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-induced vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Wistar rats were administered L-methionine (1.7 g/kg/day; p.o. × 8 weeks) to induce VCID. Morris water
