biological activity | BAY 73-1449 is an antagonist of selective prostacyclin receptor (prostacyclin receptor, IP), which is used in human HEL cells and rat DRG. The cAMP analysis has a high titer (IC50 value less than 0.1 nM). BAY 73-1449 can be used for the study of lowering blood pressure. |
target | IP Receptor <0.1 nM (IC 50 ) |
in vivo study | BAY 73-1449 (0.1-1 mg/kg; I. v.) does not significantly reduce mesenteric flow, but significantly reduces splenic shunvessel outflow in rats. BAY 73-1449 (1-5 mg/kg, S. c. once daily for 7 d) has no effects on the degree of porto-systemic shunting in rats. BAY 73-1449 (1 mg/kg, s.c. once daily for 7 d), has no effects on portal pressures in rats. Animal Model: Male Wistar Rats (250-350g) are ligated portal vein Dosage: 0.1, 1 mg/kg Administration: A single I. v. Result: significantly reduced shoot flow without affecting mesenteric flow. |
