ProstaglandinB2 (PGB2) is a non-enzymatic dehydration product resulting from the treatment of PGE2 or PGA2 with strong base. It has weak agonist activity on TP receptors and can increase pulmonary blood pressure in the rabbit at relatively high doses (5 ug kg). [1]
Thromboxane A2, as an unstable intermediate between the prostaglandin endoperoxides and thromboxane B2, is a potent inducer of platelet aggregation and causes vasoconstriction.
1,2,3-Trilinoelaidoyl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains linoelaidic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. Dietary administration of 1,2,3-trilinoelaidoyl-rac-glycerol (0.6-6.3% w/w) lowers serum levels of thromboxane B2 , prostaglandin F2 (PGF2), and PGE in rats.1 |1.

Lornoxicam-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of lornoxicam by GC- or LC-MS. Lornoxicam is a COX inhibitor and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It inhibits production of thromboxane B2 from arachidonic acid in HEL human erythroleukemic cells, which endogenously express COX-1, as well as inhibits LPS-induced formation of prostaglandin F1α from arachidonic acid in Mono-Mac-6 cells, which endogenously express COX-2. Lornoxicam reduces LPS-induced production of nitric oxide and IL-6 in cell-based assays with IC50 values of 65 and 54 µM, respectively. It reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats when administered intravenously at doses ranging from 0.1 to 9 mg kg. Formulations containing lornoxicam have been used in the management of postoperative pain.
