Ozagrel hydrochloride

Description

Ozagrel HCl (78712-43-3) is a potent and selective inhibitor of thromboxane (TXA2) synthetase (IC50 = 4 nM).1?Does not inhibit prostacyclin (PGI2) synthase, cyclooxygenase or PGE2?isomerase (IC50 > 1 mM).1?Inhibits platelet aggregation2?in vitro?and arachidonate-induced arterial contraction?in vivo. Ozagrel HCl protects against arachidonate-induced sudden death in the rabbit3, and alleviates liver injury induced by acetaminophen overdose in mice4.

The Uses of Ozagrel hydrochloride
