Pentoxifylline (PTX) modulates immunologic activity by stimulating cytokine production. Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase and affects blood rheology. It also inhibits platelet aggregation and improves blood flow by increasing erythrocyte and leukocyte flexibility.

Benzoquinamide hydrochloride (3-carbamoyl-N,N-diethyl-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-9,11-dimethoxy-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-2-yl acetate hydrochloride) is an antiemetic agent and increases intra-arterial pressure due to the increased peripheral vascular resistance.

(±) Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate (Iscover) , an antiplatelet agent pharmacologically and structurally analogous to ticlopidine, is used to inhibit blood clots in various conditions such as cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and coronary artery disease.

Flunarizine dihydrochloride (R14950) is a selective calcium entry blocker with calmodulin binding properties and histamine H1 blocking activity. Flunarizine dihydrochloride (R14950) is effective in the prophylaxis of migraine, occlusive peripheral vascular disease, vertigo of central and peripheral origin, and as an adjuvant in the therapy of epilepsy.

Isradipine (PN 200-110) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker with antihypertensive and vasodilator activities. Isradipine blocks calcium entry through calcium ion channels in coronary and peripheral vascular smooth muscle, dilating coronary arteries and peripheral arterioles. This action increases oxygen delivery by enhancing blood flow and decreases oxygen requirements by reducing total peripheral resistance.

Prazosin hydrochloride (Vasoflex) reduces peripheral resistance and relaxes vascular smooth muscles as a selective adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist by a mechanism not completely known. Prazosin hydrochloride is a synthetic piperazine derivative with hypotensive antiadrenergic properties, It is used in the treatment of heart failure, hypertension, pheochromocytoma, Raynaud's syndrome, prostatic hypertrophy, and urinary retention.

Phentolamine mesylate (Phentolamine methanesulfonate) is a nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist used to treat hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pheochromocytoma, vasospasm of [RAYNAUD DISEASE] and frostbite, clonidine withdrawal syndrome, impotence, and peripheral vascular disease.

Lacidipine (SN-305) is a lipophilic dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with an intrinsically slow onset of activity. Due to its long duration of action, lacidipine does not lead to reflex tachycardia. It displays specificity in the vascular smooth muscle, where it acts as an antihypertensive agent to dilate peripheral arterioles and reduce blood pressure.

Xanthinol Nicotinate (Complamin) is a potent vasodilator that can easily enter the cell and causes an increase in glucose metabolism resulting in an increased energy.

Vicagrel is an effective, orally active antiplatelet compound that enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet aggregation and thrombosis in rodents by irreversibly inhibiting P2Y12 receptors and reducing metabolic inactivation. Viagrel can be used to treat blood clots in coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and cerebrovascular disease.

Suloctidil is a peripheral vasodilator that was formerly used in the management of peripheral and cerebral vascular disorders. It is hepatotoxic and fatalities have occurred.

Lys-[Des-Arg9]Bradykinin acetate is an endogenous potent and highly selective bradykinin B1 receptor agonist (Ki values are 0.12 and > 30000 nM at human B1 and B2 receptors respectively). Hypotensive agent that reduces peripheral vascular resistance in vivo. 16-fold more potent than [Des-Arg9]-Bradykinin.

Cinepazide is a vasodilator used for the treatment of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular diseases. Cinepazide acts as a potentiator of adenosine A2 receptors.

Carvedilol (SKF 105517) Phosphate is the phosphate salt form of carvedilol, a racemic mixture and adrenergic blocking agent with antihypertensive activity and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output. In addition, both enantiomers of carvedilol bind to and block alpha 1-adrenergic receptors, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral vascular resistance.

Suloctidil HCl is a peripheral vascular dilator.

Methoxamine hydrochloride (Methoxamine HCl) is an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist that causes prolonged peripheral VASOCONSTRICTION.

Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate) is a drug used in the management of peripheral and cerebral vascular disorders. It is claimed to enhance cellular oxidative capacity and to be a spasmolytic. It may also be an antagonist at 5HT-2 serotonin receptors.

Dihydroergocristine mesylate (DHEC (mesylate))(DHEC mesylate) is the methanesulfonic acid salt of dihydroergocristine.
