Background

Iloprost is a second generation synthetic analog of prostacyclin derived from carbacyclin, exhibiting approximately 10-fold greater potency than the first generation stable analogs of prostacyclin, represented by carbacyclin. Iloprost binds with high affinity to the prostanoid receptors, with Ki values being 11, 11 and 56 nM for the human recombinant IP, EP1 and EP3 receptors, respectively. Prostacyclin is a prostaglandin member of the eicosanoid family of lipid molecules, which inhibits platelet activation and dilates blood vessels through interaction with G-protein-coupled prostanoid receptors.

Protocol

Cell experiment:[1]

Cell lines

Human whole blood

Reaction Conditions

13 nM iloprost

Applications

Iloprost inhibited ADP, thrombin and collagen-induced aggregation of human platelets, with an ED50 value of about 13 nM. Iloprost was equipotent to PGI2 which showed a similar IC50 value of 11 nM in this system.

Animal experiment:[1]

Animal models

Cats subjected to acute myocardial ischemia by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery

Dosage form

0.18 ~ 1.79 μg/kg x min

Intravenous infusion, started 30 min after ligation and maintained for 4.5 h

Applications

Iloprost did not influence the arterial blood pressure during continuous infusion for 4.5 h up to doses of 1.19 μg/kg x min. Only at 1.79 μg/kg x min there was a significant fall in blood pressure. In contrast, the decrease in peripheral platelet count induced by ligation of the coronary artery was already abolished at a dose of 0.18 μg/kg x min.
