Iloprost is a drug used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), scleroderma , Raynaud's phenomenon and ischaemia [ 1 ] . It was developed by the pharmaceutical company Schering AG and is marketed by Schering AG in Europe and Actelion Pharmaceuticals in the USA.
Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin PGI 2 . Iloprost dilates systemic and pulmonary arterial vascular beds. It also affects platelet aggregation but the relevance of this effect to the treatment of pulmonary hypertension is unknown. The two diastereoisomers of iloprost differ in their potency in dilating blood vessels, with the 4 S isomer substantially more potent than the 4 R isomer.
