Recently, thromboxane synthetase inhibitor has been used for the treatment of preeclampsia. In this study, we investigated the effects of thromboxane synthetase inhibitor (OKY-046) on placental blood flow (measured with clearance of hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis) in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The systolic blood pressure of OKY-046-treated SHR (1, 4 and 8 mg/kg) decreased significantly (p < 0.05); however, the systolic blood pressure of WKY did not decrease. The placental blood flow of both OKY-046-treated WKY and SHR did not decrease. We found that OKY-046 has no reducing effect on placental blood flow in rats, and systolic blood pressure of SHR decreases. These data suggest that thromboxane synthetase inhibitor might have a beneficial effect on preeclampsia.
