Description

White Solid


Beraprost sodium is the organic sodium salt of beraprost. It is used in the treatment of chronic arterial occlusive disease and primary pulmonary hypertension in Japan. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a prostaglandin receptor agonist, a vasodilator agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It contains a beraprost(1-).|Beraprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, under clinical trials for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. It is also being studied for use in avoiding reperfusion injury.

Drug Information

For the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Beraprost is a stable, orally active prostacyclin analogue with vasodilatory, antiplatelet and cytoprotective effects. Beraprost is generally well tolerated and appears to be an effective agent in the treatment of patients with Buerger's disease and arteriosclerosis obliterans. Comparative data from a large randomised trial indicated that the drug appears as effective as ticlopidine in patients with these conditions. In patients with intermittent claudication, significant benefits of beraprost compared with placebo were reported in a randomised clinical trial; however, the use of beraprost in these patients is not supported by recent preliminary unpublished data from a large, phase III, placebo-controlled study. Limited data suggest some efficacy with long-term beraprost treatment of patients with PAH, where options are few and where oral administration of the drug could be a considerable advantage over intravenous prostacyclin (PGI2) therapy.

Drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system. (See all compounds classified as Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors.)|Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)

Oral bioavailability is 50–70%.

35–40 minutes

Beraprost acts by binding to prostacyclin membrane receptors ultimately inhibiting the release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites. This reduction in the influx of Ca2+ has been postulated to cause relaxation of the smooth muscle cells and vasodilation.
