8-iso Prostaglandin E2 isopropyl ester
8-iso Prostaglandin E2 isopropyl ester |
||
8-iso PGE2 isopropyl ester is a more lipophilic form of the free acid, 8-iso PGE2. Prostaglandin esters have enhanced lipid solubility compared to their parent compounds. They are generally hydrolyzed to the free acid upon in vivo administration, making the esters useful prodrugs. In general, the C-1 esters of prostaglandins show greatly diminished agonist activity in vitro compared to the parent free acids. | |||

8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α
8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α |
||
8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α) is a metabolite of the isoprostane, 8-isoprostane (8-iso PGF2α), in rabbits, monkeys and humans. 8-iso PGF2α is a PG-like product of non-specific lipid peroxidation. In both humans and monkeys, exogenously infused 8-isoprostane is converted primarily to metabolites having 2 or 4 carbon atoms removed from the top side chain by β-oxidation. A similar pattern is observed when tritiated 8-isoprostane is infused into ra... |
