The potential compatibilities of several commonly used pharmaceutical excipients with picotamide were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of aging and of mechanical treatment (blending, grinding, or kneading) of samples were also evaluated. Hot-stage microscopy (HSM) and scanning

Inhibition of prostate smooth muscle contraction is an important strategy for medical treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Besides α1-adrenoceptors, prostate smooth muscle contraction is induced by activation of thromboxane (TXA2) receptors (TXA2-R). Here, we examined the effects of

Picotamide is a dual thromboxane (Tx) A2 receptor antagonist/Tx synthase inhibitor although some observations suggest an anti-vasoconstrictor effect independent of TxA2 inhibition/antagonism. The aim of our study was to assess whether picotamide antagonises vascular contractions induced by different vasoactive substances

Picotamide is an antiplatelet drug with a peculiar dual mechanism of action: it inhibits thromboxane A2 synthase and antagonizes the pharmacological responses mediated by thromboxane A2 receptor. We investigated the in vitro effect of picotamide on smooth muscle cell migration
Carola Buccellati et al.
European journal of pharmacology, 443(1-3), 133-141 (2002-06-05)
We evaluated the capacity of anti-aggregating agents to influence thromboxane A(2) and prostacyclin formation, arachidonic acid-endoperoxide redirection, platelet aggregation and vessel tone, in isolated rabbit aorta incubated with homologous platelets. Picotamide (N,N'bis(3-pyridinylmethyl)-4-methoxy-isophthalamide), the only dual thromboxane A(2)-synthase inhibitor/receptor antagonist in
