Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin PGI2. Iloprost commonly employed in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease and also indicated in the treatment of patients affected by systemic sclerosis (SSc) in the presence of severe Raynaud's phen

Iloprost is a second generation structural analog of prostacyclin (PGI2) with about ten-fold greater potency than the first generation stable analogs, typified by carbaprostacyclin. Iloprost binds with equal affinity to the recombinant human IP and EP1 receptors with a Ki value of 11 nM. Most preparations of iloprost contain 16(S) and 16(R) stereoisomers. 16(S)-Iloprost potently inhibits platelet aggregation with an IC50 value of 3.5 nM.
