Beraprost sodium
Biological Activity
[Description]:
Beraprost sodium, a prostacyclin analog, is a stable and orally active prodrug of PGI2. Beraprost sodium is a potent vasodilator, has the potential for pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment through expanding renal vessels, improving microcirculation[1].

[Target]
prodrug of PGI2; Vasodilator[1]
[In Vitro]
Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μM; 24 hours) treatment leads to a significant increase in the number of tube formation, BPS plays an important role on angiogenic activity[1]. Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μM; 24 hours) treatment let VE-cadherin at regions of cell–cell contact becomes more abundant and the morphology of endothelial cells tends to be normal compared with those cultured under hypoxia conditions[1].
[In Vivo]
Beraprost sodium (oral adminstration; 0.6 mg/kg; once daily; 3 or 7 days) can mitigate the development of renal interstitial fibrosis, decrease renal oxidative stress through its potential vasodilation effect, and further prevent renal interstitial fibrosis[1]. Animal Model: 6-8-week-old C57Bl/6J Male Mice[1] Dosage: 0.6 mg/kg Administration: Oral adminstration; 0.6 mg/kg; once daily; 3 or 7 days Result: Mitigated the development of renal interstitial fibrosis.
