Buflomedil (trade name Loftyl) is a vasoactive drug used to treat claudication or the symptoms of peripheral arterial disease. Buflomedil has been used for people with diseases of the leg arteries and has shown some benefits for people with a previous stroke. The most common type of stroke is due to narrowing or blockage of an artery in the brain (i.e. ischaemic stroke). Buflomedil is a drug that can dilate brain blood vessels, which may have benefit for people with ischaemic stroke. However, it has not been approved to treat stroke in clinical practice. In 2012 the European Medicines Agency has completed a review of the safety and effectiveness of buflomedil-containing medicines, both oral and injectable, due to severe neurological and cardiac side effects seen with buflomedil. The Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that the benefits of buflomedil do not outweigh its risks, and has recommended that all marketing authorisations for medicines containing buflomedil should be suspended throughout the European Union (EU).

In Vitro Use Guide
The effect of buflomedil (Fonzylane; Laboratoire Lafon, Maisons-Alfort, France) on platelet function, a drug used clinically for the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases, was investigated in vitro. The compound significantly inhibits epinephrine-induced aggregation at the micromolar level. At higher doses (approximately 1 mM), a weak inhibition of ADP- and collagen-induced aggregation was observed; at these concentrations, buflomedil inhibits granular secretion and the interaction of fibrinogen with its receptor on platelet. Further investigations indicate that the drug affects calcium uptake at the membrane level and inhibits the binding of [3H]-yohimbine to the same extent as observed with phentolamine. The IC50 determined from competition binding assays was 1 +/- 0.5 microM.
