Description
Seratrodast is an inhibitor of the thromboxane A2 receptor and exhibits anti-asthma and anti-inflammatory activity but no anti-platelet benefits. Seratrodast is used clinically to treat asthma, preventing bronchial hyperresponsiveness and bronchoconstriction as well as improving cough threshold.
