Biological Activity

[Description]:

Epoprostenol sodium (Prostaglandin I2 (sodium salt)), the synthetic form of the natural prostaglandin derivative prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2), is registered worldwide for the treatment of Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)[1]. Epoprostenol sodium is used in pulmonary hypertension and transplantation as a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation[2].
