White SolidSilodosin, an a1A adrenoceptor (a1A-AR) antagonist selective for prostatic receptors, was launched as an oral treatment for dysuria associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The regulation of smooth muscle tone in the bladder neck and prostate is thought to be primarily mediated by a1A-AR. Blockade of these receptors can cause smooth muscle relaxation in these areas, resulting in improved symptoms and urinary flow rates. Conversely, a1B-AR are largely located on vascu
Silodosin is an indolecarboxamide.|Silodosin is an α1-adrenoceptor antagonist that is selective for the prostate. Silodosin is for symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. FDA approved Oct 9, 2008.|Silodosin is an alpha-Adrenergic Blocker. The mechanism of action of silodosin is as an Adrenergic alpha-Antagonist.|Silodosin is a selective alpha-1a adrenergic antagonist used in the therapy of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Silodosin is associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations and to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Silodosin is an orally available, alpha-1 adrenoreceptor (alpha-1a) selective antagonist that can be used to relieve symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Upon administration, silodosin selectively binds alpha-1a receptors located in the human prostate and bladder with high affinity and blocks signaling pathways mediated by alpha-1a. Blockade of these receptors causes smooth muscle relaxation, lowers intraurethral pressure, and results in improved urine flow and a reduction in the symptoms of BPH, such as difficulty with urinating, painful urination, urinary frequency and incomplete bladder emptying. In addition, silodosin may be used to improve lower urinary tract symptoms, which can occur after receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Silodosin (CAS NO.160970-64-9) is also named as Rapaflo ; Rapflo ; UNII-CUZ39LUY82 ; (-)-1-(3-Hydroxypropyl)-5-((2R)-2-((2-(2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy)ethyl)amino)propyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-7-carboxamide ; 160970-54-7 .
