Ramatroban (INN) (also known as Bay-u3405)^[1] is a thromboxane receptor antagonist.^[2]

It is also a DP₂ receptor antagonist.^[3]

It is indicated for the treatment of coronary artery disease.^[4] It has also been used for the treatment of asthma.^[5]

It has been suggested that Ramatroban, by modulating DP₂ receptor, can reverse viremia-associated proinflammatory and prothrombotic processes which are similar to those induced by SARS-Cov-2.^{[citation needed]} Hence, Ramatroban, that has been used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in Japan for the past two decades with a well established safety profile, merits investigation as a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of COVID-19 disease, although no clinical trial has yet been conducted.^[6]

Ramatroban was developed by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer AG and is co-marketed in Japan by Bayer and Nippon Shinyaku Co. Ltd. under the trade name Baynas.
