Alprostadil Injection

Function and Efficacy

1. Pharmacological action This product is an intravenous alprostadil preparation with lipid microspheres as drug carriers. Due to the encapsulation of lipid microspheres, alprostadil is not easy to be inactivated, and has the targeted characteristics of being easily distributed to damaged blood vessels, thereby exerting the effects of dilating blood vessels and inhibiting platelet aggregation. In addition, this product also has the effect of stabilizing liver cell membranes and improving liver function. 2. Toxicological action Intravenous administration to mice, rats and dogs to the maximum volume that can be tolerated is 50ml/kg [equivalent to alprostadil (prostaglandin E1) 250micro;g/kg], no animal death was observed, and no severe acute toxicity was observed. This product is non-allergenic, teratogenic and vascular irritant. [Pharmacokinetics] The content of alprostadil in the tissues of rats labeled with [3H] was the highest 5 minutes after intravenous administration, and then slowly decreased to disappear. Alprostadil is mainly distributed in kidney, liver, and lung tissues, and the lowest content is in the central nervous system, eyeballs and testicles. This product is mainly bound to plasma proteins and metabolized rapidly in the blood. Its metabolites (13, 14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE1) are mainly excreted through the kidneys. About 90% is excreted in urine within 24 hours after administration, and the rest is excreted in feces.
