| Bioactivity | Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate salt) is a drug used in the management of peripheral and cerebral vascular disorders as a vasodilator, enhance cellular oxidative capacity, and may also be a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. |
| Invitro | Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate salt) may be effective for relieving the pain of muscle cramps[1].Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate salt) is the only vasoactive drug for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) which is likely to be cost-effective[2].Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate salt) is ranked first for both maximum walking distance (MWD) and pain-free walking distance (PFWD) (probability of 0·947 and 0·987, respectively, of being the best treatment) followed by cilostazol and pentoxifylline. Naftidrofuryl oxalate (Nafronyl oxalate salt) is effective treatments for claudication, Naftidrofuryl oxalate is likely to be the most effective, with minimal serious adverse events[3]. |
