Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Cilostazol is a quinolinone-derivative medication used in the alleviation of the symptom of claudication in individuals with peripheral vascular disease. Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor with therapeutic focus on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It inhibits platelet aggregation and is a direct arterial vasodilator. Its main effects are dilation of the arteries supplying blood to the legs and decreasing platelet coagulation. It is under the trade name Pletal.

Product Data
Biological target:
Cilostazol (OPC 13013) is a potent and selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3A, the isoform of PDE 3 in the cardiovascular system, with an IC50 of 0.2 μM.
In vitro activity:
PDE3 inhibitor cilostazol strongly promoted differentiation of primary cultures of rat Schwann cells via a mechanism involving cAMP/exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) signaling. Co-treatment with cilostazol prevented paclitaxel-induced dedifferentiation of Schwann cell cultures and demyelination in a mixed culture of Schwann cells and dorsal root ganglia neurons. Reference: Neuropharmacology. 2021 May 1;188:108514. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33684416/
In vivo activity:
Wistar rats were treated with Cilo (0.1 g/kg, p.o.) or with a vehicle for 14 days prior to IS/RE, induced by clamping of the superior mesenteric artery for 30 min with subsequent clamp removal for 2 h. In addition to normalizing MDA, iNOS, and NOx, the Cilo (cilostazol) antioxidant power was confirmed by intensifying tissues content of the total antioxidant capacity. With regard to the anti-inflammatory effect, Cilo reduced the effects of TNF-α, IL-6, and ICAM-1, which were reflected in MPO activity. Furthermore, Cilo had an anti-apoptotic attribute demonstrated by enhancing Bcl-2 content and lessening caspase-3 level.
