To compare the efficacy of three α(1A)/α(1D)-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists--naftopidil, tamsulosin, and silodosin--that have differing affinities for the α(1)-AR subtypes in treating urinary morbidities in Japanese men with (125)I prostate implantation (PI) for prostate cancer. This single-institution prospective randomized controlled trial
Binding properties of naftopidil and alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists to alpha-adrenoceptors in prostates from benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) were characterized by radioreceptor assays using [3H]prazosin and [3H]rauwolscine. Specific binding of [3H]prazosin and [3H]rauwolscine in human prostatic membranes was saturable and of

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of the selective α(1D) -adrenoceptor antagonist naftopidil and the selective α(1A) -adrenoceptor antagonist silodosin (as an example) in the management of ureteral stones in Japanese male patients. A total

The interaction of naftopidil with adrenoceptors was studied in comparison to standard drugs. Naftopidil binds specifically to alpha 1-adrenoceptors. The Ki values are 58.3 nM for naftopidil, 0.43 nM for prazosin, and 197 nM for urapidil. The affinities of naftopidil

Two bioanalytical HPLC methods (chiral solid phases (CSPs) HPLC and pre-column derivatization HPLC) were developed and validated for the determination of naftopidil enantiomers in rat plasma. Analytes were extracted from biomaterials by liquid-liquid extraction. The pre-column derivatization HPLC method employed
