Lixazinone (RS-82856) hydrogensulfate is a selective inhibitor of cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE3) with an IC50 value of 22 nM. Lixazinone hydrogensulfate exhibits positive inotropic effects, afterload reduction and antithrombotic properties. Lixazinone hydrogensulfate increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in human platelets, inhibits thrombin-induced aggregation of human platelets, and blocks the photolabeling of PDE3 active sites by [32P]cGMP. Lixazinone hydrogensulfate can be used in the research of polycystic kidney disease and congestive heart failure.
