Notes: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) inhibitor (IC50 = 0.2 µM for the platelet enzyme).{54486} It is selective for PDE3A over PDE1, -2, -4, and -5 (IC50s = >5 µM for all). Cilostazol inhibits collagen- or ADP-induced aggregation of isolated rabbit platelets (IC50s = 29 and 31 µM, respectively).{23681} In vivo, cilostazol (30 mg/kg) reduces thrombus formation by 84% in a mouse model of pulmonary thromboembolism. It reduces cardiac fibrosis and prevents the development of diastolic dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy induced by a high-fat diet and angiotensin II in mice.{54485} Formulations containing cilostazol have been used in the treatment of the symptoms of intermittent claudication in peripheral vascular disease.
