General description

Beraprost sodium is an orally active prostacyclin analog.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Beraprost sodium is a chemically stable analog of prostacyclin PGI2. As other prostanoids, beraprost is a potent vasodilator and possesses antithrombotic, antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. Beraprost sodium activates prostaglandin I (IP) receptor, which is coupled with Gs proteins and activates adenylate cyclase. It has been studied for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
Beraprost sodium is used as a therapeutic agent for chronic artery obstructions or primary pulmonary hypertension. In individuals with coronary artery disease, beraprost sodium helps to reduce oxidative stress and developed forearm endothelium dependent vasodilation.
