Description

(S)-1-(2-Naphthyl)ethylamine is a selective allosteric modulator of the prostacyclin receptor. It binds to the active site of the receptor and activates it, leading to increased production of prostacyclin. This activation leads to vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation. (S)-1-(2-Naphthyl)ethylamine has been shown to be effective in suppressing vascular hypertrophy in cho-k1 cells. The drug inhibits the production of TNF-α and IL-6 by these cells, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptosis or suppress protein synthesis through inhibition of mRNA translation.
