Prostacyclin

The Prostacyclin is a prostaglandin member of the eicosanoid family of lipid molecules. It inhibits platelet activation and is also an effective vasodilator.Prostacyclin (prostaglandin , epoprostenol) is an anti-thrombotic agent and a potent systemic and pulmonary artery vasodilator Prostacyclin has resulted in pulmonary vasodilation in infants who were resistant to the pulmonary vasodilatory effects of tolazoline. Prostacyclin has a sufficiently short (3 to 5 minute) half-life such that the effects can be titrated enabling testing of efficacy during right heart catheterization for pulmonary artery hypertension
