Tranilast

• CAS Number:

  53902-12-8

• UNSPSC Description:

  Tranilast (MK-341) acts as an anti-atopic agent. Tranilast suppresses production of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2, IC50= 0.1 mM). Tranilast sodium exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects[1]. Tranilast sodium antagonizes angiotensin II and inhibits its biological effects in vascular smooth muscle cells[2].
