Naftidrofuryl

Naftidrofuryl oxalate is a powerful vasodilator agent with an antagonist effect on 5-HT2 receptors of the smooth muscle cells. The vasodilator effect, which occurs in both the cerebral and peripheral circulation, is probably the main action. It is claimed that this action protects cells against the metabolic effects of ischaemia.

Phenoxybenzamine

Phenoxybenzamine is a non competitive long acting α-adrenergic receptor antagonist.
