Picotamide is an antiplatelet drug with a peculiar dual mechanism of action: it inhibits thromboxane A2 synthase and antagonizes the pharmacological responses mediated by thromboxane A2 receptor. We investigated the in vitro effect of picotamide on smooth muscle cell migration

Picotamide is a dual thromboxane (Tx) A2 receptor antagonist/Tx synthase inhibitor although some observations suggest an anti-vasoconstrictor effect independent of TxA2 inhibition/antagonism. The aim of our study was to assess whether picotamide antagonises vascular contractions induced by different vasoactive substances

We evaluated the capacity of anti-aggregating agents to influence thromboxane A(2) and prostacyclin formation, arachidonic acid-endoperoxide redirection, platelet aggregation and vessel tone, in isolated rabbit aorta incubated with homologous platelets. Picotamide (N,N'bis(3-pyridinylmethyl)-4-methoxy-isophthalamide), the only dual thromboxane A(2)-synthase inhibitor/receptor antagonist in

To assess the role of thromboxane A2 and of angiotensin II in patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon. After an eight-day run-in period, the patients were enrolled in a single-blind, cross-over, study. Patients were examined at the Ambulatory for Microcirculatory Diseases
The increased prostaglandin synthesis that might follow stimulation of the arachidonic acid cascade by angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition (ACE-I) has been suggested to underlie the appearance of cough on ACE-I treatment. We investigated whether the prostanoid thromboxane was involved. Nine patients with
