Naftidrofuryl is a drug from the group of substances that promote blood circulation. It is used in peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) from stage II to improve the blood circulation in the legs and thus to extend the walking distance.
Use in medicine
According to the guideline of the German Society for Angiology , Naftidrofuryl or Nafronyl should be used to improve blood circulation. From a pharmacological point of view, however, there are doubts about the effectiveness of the agents that promote blood circulation, since the dilation of healthy vessels as a so-called steal phenomenon can further reduce the blood flow in the affected vessels.
Stereochemistry
Naftidrofuryl contains two stereocenters, so there are four stereoisomers of this drug:
( R , R ) -isomer, enantiomer of the ( S , S ) -isomer
( R , S ) -isomer, diastereomer of the ( S , S ) -isomer
