Description
Silodosin is a selective α1A-adrenergic receptor antagonist clinically used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia/low urinary tract syndrome (BPH/LUTS). Silodosin improves bladder function and blood flow in ischemic conditions in animal models. Additionally, silodosin alters transcriptional regulation through its effect on α-adrenergic receptors, preventing NE-induced inhibition of EIk1 and SRF in the prostate.
