Nicorandil (SG-75)(Ikorel) acts by relaxing the smooth muscle of the blood vessels, especially those of the venous system. It undertakes this through two methods. Firstly, by activating potassium channels, and secondly by donating nitric oxide to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase. Guanylate cyclase causes activation of cGMP leading to both arterial and venous vasodilatation by de-phosphorylation of the myosin light chain.

Sarpogrelate hydrochloride (MCI-9042) , a selective 5-HT2 antagonist, has been widely used as an anti-platelet agent for the treatment of PAD. Target: 5-HT2 Recepter Sarpogrelate is a drug which acts as an antagonist at the 5HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride was shown to have the same affinity as ritanserin for 5-HT2A receptors, with a Ki value of 8.39 nM. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride lacked prominent 5-HT1-like, 5-HT3, beta, H1, H2 and M3 antagonist activity and weakly blocked alpha 1-adrenoceptors (pKB = 6.30). (S)-M-1 showed weak affinity for 5-HT1-like receptors (pKB = 6.30), alpha 1- (pKB = 6.80) and beta- (pKB = 6.54) adrenoceptors, while (R)-M-1 was a weak antagonist at histamine H1 receptors (pKB = 6.49). After 12 weeks of sarpogrelate administration, FBF and LBF responses during RH showed significant increases from 13.2 +/- 1.7 to 18.1 +/- 2.2 mL/min per 100 mL tissue (P < 0.01) and from 8.2 +/- 0.9 to 14.2 +/- 2.1 mL/min per 100 mL tissue (P < 0.05), respectively. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride -induced augmentation of FBF and LBF responses to RH was maintained at 24 weeks. Long-term oral administration of sarpogrelate improves vascular function in patients with PAD.

Frovatriptan succinate hydrate (Frova) is effective in treating the full spectrum of migraine including the associated symptoms of nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. Frovatriptan succinate hydrate can also be used as in mini-prophylaxis in menstrual migraine. Frovatriptan succinate hydrate is a potent, high affinity, selective and orally active 5-HT1B, HT1D receptor agonist and a moderately potent 5-HT7 receptor agonist, with pKi values of 8.6, 8.4, and 6.7, respectively.

Nadolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist with antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic activities. Nadolol competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors located in the heart and vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting the activities of the catechola
