Beraprost sodium, a prostacyclin analog, is a stable and orally active proagent of PGI2. Beraprost sodium is a potent vasodilator, has the potential for pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment through expanding renal vessels, improving microcirculation[1]. Beraprost (sodium) is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
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].
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].
