Cilostazol

Cilostazol(OPC 13013; OPC 21) is a potent inhibitor of PDE3A, the isoform of PDE 3 in the cardiovascular system (IC50=0.2 uM).IC50 Value: 0.2 uM [1]Target: PDE3Ain vitro: Cilostazol caused a concentration-dependent increase in the cAMP level in rabbit and human platelets with similar potency. Furthermore, cilostazol and milrinone were equally effective in inhibiting human platelet aggregation with a median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.9 and 2 microM, respectively. In rabbit ventr
A potent phosphodiesterase III A (PDE3A) inhibitor (IC50=0.2uM) and inhibitor of adenosine uptake. Has antimitogeni, antithrombotic, vasodilatory and cardiotonic properties in vivo. Also affects lipid levels in vivo.

Cilostazol is a lactam that is 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one in which the hydrogen at position 6 is substituted by a 4-(1-cyclohexyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)butoxy group. It has a role as a bronchodilator agent, a vasodilator agent, a fibrin modulating drug, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a neuroprotective agent, an anticoagulant and an EC 3.1.4.17 (3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase) inhibitor. It is a member of tetrazoles and a lactam.|Cilostazol is a quinolinone derivative and antiplatelet agent with vasodilating properties that has been used in the symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication in patients with peripheral ischaemia. It is marketed under the brand name Pletal by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co.. Cilostazol works by inhibiting both primary and secondary aggregation and reducing calcium-induced contractions.|Cilostazol is a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of cilostazol is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor.|Cilostazol is a quinolinone derivative that inhibits specific cellular phosphadiesterases, which cause arterial vasodilation and inhibition of platelet function and makes it a valuable as a therapy of intermittent claudication and as a means of secondary prevention of stroke. Cilostazol has not been associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy or with published instances of clinically apparent liver injury.|Cilostazol is a quinolinone derivative and cellular phosphodiesterase inhibitor, more specific for phosphodiesterase III (PDE III). Although the exact mechanism of action of is unknown, cilostazol and its metabolites appears to inhibit PDE III activity, thereby suppressing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) degradation. This results in an increase in cAMP in platelets and blood vessels, leading to inhibition of platelet aggregation and vasodilation.|A quinoline and tetrazole derivative that acts as a phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor, with anti-platelet and vasodilating activity. It is used in the treatment of PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES; ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE; and in the prevention of stroke.
