Application

Ozagrel hydrochloride hydrate has been used as a thromboxane synthase inhibitor:
  • in high cholesterol-diet rats (HC) to test its effect on arteriolar constriction
  • to pre-treat mice to test its effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced behavioral changes
  • to test its effect on arteriolar vasoconstriction in hyperglycemic mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ozagrel is useful in treating lacunar and thrombotic stroke. It blocks vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation. Ozagrel aids in improving the prostacyclin (PGI2)/ thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in the acute phase of cerebral ischemia. It improves endothelial dysfunction in L-methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-induced vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID).
Ozagrel is a selective thromboxane A2 synthase (TXA2) inhibitor.

1. The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) in the cough response in a guinea-pig cough model. Here, we describe results obtained using a selective TXA(2) synthetase inhibitor, ozagrel, and a selective TXA(2)

Thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) is thought to contribute to the development of diabetic complications. We tested the hypothesis that the impaired endothelial function seen in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats (a type 2 diabetic model) might be improved by chronic

This study examined the effect of ozagrel, a thromboxane A(2) synthase inhibitor, on the accumulation of leucocytes and chemokine mRNA expression in lungs experimentally injured using oleic acid (OA). OA injection into guinea pigs rapidly increased thromboxane A(2) generation and

Retinal blood flow decreases early in the progression of diabetic retinopathy; however, the mediators and mechanisms responsible for this decrease have yet to be determined. In this study, diabetes was induced by streptozotocin in rats, and retinal blood flow was

We investigated the neuroprotective properties of single doses of minocycline and ozagrel when administered prior to stroke. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to one of the following groups: (1) control (Con) group (n=10), (2) minocycline (Mino) group (n=10), (3)
