| Targets |
prodrug of PGI2; Vasodilator[1]
Beraprost sodium targets the prostacyclin (IP) receptor as an agonist. By activating the IP receptor, it stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing intracellular cAMP levels. This leads to vasodilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and cytoprotection. Beraprost is a stable analog of prostacyclin, with a longer half-life than the natural compound. Its vasodilatory, antiplatelet, and cytoprotective effects are mediated through IP receptor activation. |

| ln Vitro |
Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μM; 24 hours) treatment leads
to a significant increase in the number of tube formation, BPS plays an
important role on angiogenic activity[1]. Beraprost sodium (0.1, 1.0,
and 10.0 μM; 24 hours) treatment let VE-cadherin at regions of cell–cell
contact becomes more abundant and the morphology of endothelial cells
tends to be normal compared with those cultured under hypoxia
conditions[1].

| ln Vivo |
Beraprost sodium (oral adminstration; 0.6 mg/kg; once daily; 3 or 7
days) can mitigate the development of renal interstitial fibrosis,
decrease renal oxidative stress through its potential vasodilation
effect, and further prevent renal interstitial fibrosis[1]. Animal
Model: 6-8-week-old C57Bl/6J Male Mice[1] Dosage: 0.6 mg/kg
Administration: Oral adminstration; 0.6 mg/kg; once daily; 3 or 7 days
Result: Mitigated the development of renal interstitial fibrosis.

Tube formation assay[1]
In brief, endothelial cells (1 × 104) were seeded in a 48-well plate coated with 100 μl of growth factor-reduced Matrigel TM and incubated with and without varied concentrations of BPS (Beraprost sodium) at 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μmol/l for tube stabilization for 24 h at 37 °C. Tube formation was quantified by measuring the total tube loops in five random microscopic fields with a computer-assisted microscope
In vitro receptor binding assays for beraprost sodium involve measuring its binding affinity to the prostacyclin (IP) receptor. The receptor is incubated with a radiolabeled ligand and varying concentrations of beraprost. The displacement of the radiolabeled ligand is measured, and the IC₅₀ or Ki value is calculated. The compound's functional activity as an IP receptor agonist is assessed by measuring cAMP accumulation in cells expressing the IP receptor. These assays confirm the compound's mechanism as a prostacyclin analog. |
| Cell Assay |
The HUVECs were cultured in a modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% mycillin at 37 °C in 5% CO2 and 95% air. HUVECs in hypoxia group were cultured for 12 h into an airtight humidified chamber flushed with a gas mixture containing 5% CO2, 95% N2, and 1% O2 at 37 °C. HUVECs in hypoxia + BPS group were cultured with BPS (Beraprost sodium) at 1.0 μmol/l. The cells were cultured according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the culture medium was changed every 2 or 3 days. HUVECs at passage 3 were used for the following experiments[1].
In vitro cell-based assays for beraprost sodium evaluate its effects on platelet aggregation and vascular function. Platelets are treated with beraprost, and aggregation is induced by agonists such as ADP or collagen. Inhibition of platelet aggregation is measured using aggregometry. Vascular smooth muscle cells are treated with beraprost, and vasodilation is assessed by measuring changes in cell contraction or relaxation. These assays confirm the compound's functional activity as a prostacyclin analog. |
