Picotamide is an antiplatelet drug that inhibits both thromboxane A<sub>2</sub> (TXA<sub>2</sub>) receptors (K<sub>d</sub> = 325 nM) and TXA<sub>2</sub> synthase. It significantly inhibits basal and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated TXA<sub>2</sub> synthesis by rat peritoneal macrophages when used at 0.5 mM. Formulations containing picotamide have potential applications in the reduction of peripheral artery disease in patients with diabetes.
