    Abstract:
    Effect of prostacyclin analogue, beraprost sodium (Sodium (+/-)-(1R*, 2R*, 3aS*, 8bS*)-2, 3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-1-[(E)-(3S*)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-octen+ ++-6- ynyl]-1H-cyclopenta-[b]benzofuran-5-butyrate, TRK-100), on the cardiovascular system of the anesthetized dog was investigated. TRK-100 was injected intra-arterially and intravenously to study the vasodilating effect of the drug by a magnetic flow meter. Intra-arterial injection of TRK-100 augmented blood flow of vertebral, coronary, renal, supramesenteric, hepatic and femoral artery at a dose range of 0.0003 to 3,000 micrograms/bed. The threshold doses of TRK-100 and PGI2 in the mesenteric artery were 0.003 micrograms and 0.0003 micrograms, respectively, and the same values were obtained in the splenic artery. Those were slightly lower than those of other arteries. Intravenous injection of TRK-100 augmented mesenteric and renal arterial flow to 193 +/- 30% and 118 +/- 4%, respectively. In this system augmentation of mesenteric and renal arterial flow was 179 +/- 19% and 135 +/- 1%, respectively, while vertebral, carotid, and femoral arterial flow decreased, respectively, to 71.4 +/- 2.1%, 80.0 +/- 9.4% and 61.4 +/- 5.6% by TRK-100 and 70.6 +/- 5.6%, 79.5 +/- 6.9% and 67.1 +/- 4.7% by PGI2. Inhibitory effects on heart functions such as cardiac output, left ventricular pressure, LV dP/dt, oxygen consumption, and cardiac work were seen. The effect was similar to PGI2. Coronary vascular resistance, total peripheral resistance and systemic blood pressure were also decreased by TRK-100 and PGI2.
