In vitro study | Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0μM; 24 hours) treatment leads to a significant increase in the number of tube formation, BPS plays an important role on angiogenic activity. Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0μM; 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. |
biological activity | Beraprost sodium is a prostacyclin analog, it is a stable and orally active prodrug of pgi2. Beraprost sodium is an effective vasodilator and has the potential to study pulmonary hypertension by dilating renal vessels and improving microcirculation. |
Target | prodreg of PGI2; Vasodilator |
