| Bioactivity | TAS-301 is an inhibitor of smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, and inhibits PKC activation induced by PDGF. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | TAS-301 (1-10 μM) concentration-dependently inhibits PKC activation and Ca2+ influx, induced by PDGF, with 62.7% inhibition on PKC activation at 10 μM, and reduces PMA-induced AP-1, with 38% and 67.6% inhibition at 3 and 10 μM, respectively[1]. TAS-301 (0.3-3 μM) dose-dependently reduces the migration of cells induced by growth factors (PDGF-BB, IGF-1,HB-EGF). TAS-301 (1-10 μM) also decreases bFGF-induced BrdU incorporation, especially at 3 and 10 μM[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | TAS-301 (3-100 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently reduces the neointimal thickening and I/M ratio and decreases the level of intimal cells in rats 14 days after balloon injury[2]. | ||||||||||||
