Limaprost is an oral prostaglandin E1 analogue used to improve symptoms associated with thromboangiitis obliterans, acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis, and other ischemic conditions.
As a prostglandin E1 analog, limaprost acts as an agonist at prostraglandin E2 receptors. It likely stimulates the adenylate cyclase coupled E2 subtype of these receptors to produce smooth muscle relaxation .
Limaprost is used for the improvement of various ischemic symptoms such as ulcer, pain and feeling of coldness associated with thromboangiitis obliterans as well as improvement of subjective symptoms (pain and numbness of lower legs) and gait ability associated with acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis (in patients with bilateral intermittent claudication showing normal SLR test result).
