Nafagrel
Nafagrel (DP-1904 free acid) is a Thromboxane A2 synthase inhibitor. Nafagrel inhibits the production of Thromboxane A2 and increases the production of Prostaglandin I2 (HY-A0126A). Nafagrel prevents thrombotic material accumulation in acute arterial thrombosis models. Nafagrel can be used in research on peripheral vascular disease, restenosis after PTCA, and lupus nephritis.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Nafagrel inhibits thromboxane synthase as an imidazole derivative[1].
DP-1904 (0.1 μM-1 mM; 2 h) completely suppresses TXB2 production and dramatically increases 6-keto-PGF1α production from human umbilical vein EC and platelets stimulated by HA-IgG in a coculture system, acting as a TXA2 synthetase inhibitor[3].

Protocols

Research Protocol for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular disease can be modeled as maladaptive cardiac remodeling, where ischemic injury or pressure overload activates inflammatory signaling, fibroblast activation, extracellular-matrix deposition, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, vascular remodeling, and progressive ventricular dysfunction. The TGF-β/SMAD axis is a central profibrotic pathway after myocardial injury and pressure overload, while innate immune and cytokine pathways regulate leukocyte recruitment, scar formation, and adverse remodeling. Key unresolved questions include which inflammatory signals are reparative versus harmful, when fibrosis is protective versus maladaptive, and whether pathway inhibition improves function without weakening necessary infarct healing or compensatory remodeling.
