probucol and Carotid Artery Narrowing

probucol has been researched along with Carotid Artery Narrowing in 2 studies

Probucol: A drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p993).
probucol : A dithioketal that is propane-2,2-dithiol in which the hydrogens attached to both sulfur atoms are replaced by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl groups. An anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is used to treat high levels of cholesterol in blood.

"Asymptomatic carotid stenosis is when this narrowing occurs in people without a history or symptoms of this disease."3.01Pharmacological interventions for asymptomatic carotid stenosis. ( Cassola, N; Clezar, CN; Flumignan, CD; Flumignan, RL; Nakano, LC; Trevisani, VF, 2023)
"Probucol has recently been shown to reduce the incidence of post-angioplasty restenosis in a number of small clinical trials, making it possible to reassess the validity of the rat balloon injury model."1.31Effects of probucol on rat carotid artery responses to balloon catheter injury. ( Jackson, CL; Pettersson, KS, 2001)
