Biochem/physiol Actions

Ramatroban aids in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, lipopolysaccharide-induced shock, and vagal neuroeffector transmission in the tracheal smooth muscle of experimental models. In addition, it also suppresses allergen and IgE antibody-mediated skin and nasal reactions and eosinophilia in animal models with asthma.
Ramatroban is used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis as an antagonist of the thromboxane receptor. It is also an antagonist of the DP2 receptor with IC50 values of 100-170 nM. It is more potent at the DP2 receptor than the TP receptor by 4-5 fold. It is therefore a useful tool for the elucidation of PGD2/DP2 function in eosinophils, basophils, and other cells of the TH2 cell-type.

We previously showed that ramatroban (Baynastrade mark), a thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) antagonist, had inhibited prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2))-stimulated human eosinophil migration mediated through activation of chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2). However, detailed pharmacological characterization of its inhibitory activity

It is known that thromboxane A2 (TXA2) contributes to various diseases such as bronchial asthma, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disorders and allergic rhinitis. A number of TXA2 synthase inhibitors and TXA2 receptor (TP receptor) antagonists have been developed to treat

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and bronchial asthma are two severe lung diseases which represent a major problem of world public health. Leukotrienes and prostanoids play an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases. Prostanoids: prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane

Several chemoattractants can regulate the recruitment of eosinophils to sites of inflammation, but the hierarchy among them is unknown. We observed here that eosinophil chemotaxis towards eotaxin or 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) was amplified up to sixfold in the presence of

A chemoenzymatic asymmetric route for the preparation of enantiopure (R)-ramatroban has been developed for the first time. The action of lipases and oxidoreductases has been independently studied, and both were found as excellent biocatalysts for the production of adequate chiral
