Description:

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

Iloprost is a drug used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), scleroderma, Raynaud's phenomenon and other diseases in which the blood vessels are constricted and blood can't flow to the tissues. This damages the tissues and causes high blood pressure. Iloprost works by opening (dilating) the blood vessels to allow the blood to flow through again. Note: This product is supplied as acetone solution (10 mg /mL)

More Info
Biological target:
Iloprost (ZK 36374; Ciloprost) is a prostacyclin (PGI2) analogue, involves in embryo development and inflammation improvement, and inhibits tumor metastasis. Iloprost can be used for peripheral vascular research.
In vitro activity:
Cells on MTA-iloprost surface showed similar viability with MTA at 1 and 14 days but enhanced cellular viability and cell spreading compared to MTA at 7 days (p < 0.05). Reference: J Dent Sci. 2022 Jan;17(1):225-232. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35028042/
In vivo activity:
Serum from WT urethane mice treated with iloprost stimulated significantly higher PPRE activity than the WT urethane saline treated group (Figure 4). There was no difference between the Fzd9−/− urethane iloprost and urethane saline groups (Figure 4). This demonstrates that loss of Fzd9 prevents the activation of PPARG that is characteristic of iloprost chemoprevention.
