Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) is a potent vasorelaxant and inhibitor of human platelet aggregation that mediates its actions by binding to a specific G protein-coupled receptor, the IP receptor, on the surface of platelets and endothelial cells.1 The IP receptor also participates in signal transduction of the cardioprotection, inflammation and pain response.2,3,4,5,6 NS-304 is a prodrug of the active form of MRE-269, which is a potent and selective agonist for the human IP receptor with a Ki value of 20 nM.7 In contrast to PGI2, which has a half-life of 30 seconds to several minutes in vivo, NS-304 is long-acting. Plasma concentrations of MRE-269 remain near peak levels for more than eight hours in rats and dogs after NS-304 was administered orally.7
