13,14-dihydro-15-keto ProstaglandinF1α (13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF1α) is a metabolite of PGF1α that has been reported in the rat stomach. The measurement of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF1α can be used as a marker of the in vivo production of PGF1α.
6,15-diketo-13,14-dihydro PGF1α is a metabolite of PGI2. It was shown to enhance intracellular cAMP and cholesterol catabolism in bovine arterial smooth muscle cells.
11-deoxy PGF1α is a synthetic analog of PGF1α. In whole animal studies, a dose of 32 mg kg inhibited gastric acid secretion by 35%. 11-deoxy PGF1α is also known to cause rat uterine contractions at a dose 0.3 times that of PGF1α. It also exhibits vasopressor and bronchoconstrictor activities at about half the potency of PGF2α in guinea pigs.
15-keto PGF1α is the initial metabolite of PGF1α via 15-hydroxy PGDH. In mammals, oxidation of C-15 markedly attenuates receptor binding and activity. In fish, the 15-keto compounds serve as post-ovulatory pheromones and are more active than the parent prostaglandins.
Δ17-6-keto ProstaglandinF1α (Δ17-6-keto PGF1α), a cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite produced from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in a variety of tissues including seminal vesicles, lungs, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and ocular tissues, alongside other 3-series COX products from EPA such as PGF3α, PGE3, and thromboxane B3, is potentially linked to a lower occurrence of glaucoma in individuals consuming a marine-rich (EPA-rich) diet.
PGF1β, a biochemical compound, functions as a pivotal mediator in inflammatory processes and plays an integral role in uterine contractions. It exhibits significant regulatory effects on platelet aggregation and vasodilation, demonstrating its critical importance in cardiovascular health. Additionally, PGF1β contributes to the regulation of kidney function and electrolyte balance, illustrating its widespread impact across various physiological systems.
11-deoxy PGF1β is a synthetic analog of PGF1β. In contrast to PGF2α and PGF1α, 11-deoxy PGF1β exhibits vasodepressor and bronchodilator activities in guinea pigs at a dose of 500 μg kg.
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 prostaglandinF1α 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.
5(6)-DiHET is a racemic compound synthesized through the action of epoxide hydrolases on 5(6)-EET, encompassing both enantiomeric forms. It serves as a quantitative marker for 5(6)-EET, facilitating its measurement by utilizing the compound's conversion to 5(6)-δ-lactone in solution. Additionally, 5(6)-DiHET activates large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa1.1 BK) channels in rat small coronary artery smooth muscle cells, supporting its biological significance in vascular regulation. It also acts as a substrate for sheep seminal vesicle COX, leading to the in vitro production of 5,6-dihydroxy prostaglandin E1 and F1α metabolites. Notably, its levels diminish in the plasma of rats subjected to a high-fat diet, indicating a potential role in the pathophysiology of hyperlipidemia.
9-Keto Fluprostenol Isopropyl Ester, an ester derivative of the FP receptor agonist fluprostenol, undergoes oxidation at carbon 9. This compound serves as a potential prodrug for 9-keto fluprostenol, which may function as an agonist at EP receptors. Additionally, it is considered a possible metabolite of fluprostenol isopropyl ester (travoprost), drawing parallels to the metabolism of latanoprost by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase observed in monkey cornea. Furthermore, certain F-series prostaglandins, such as 6-keto prostaglandinF1α (PGF1α), undergo conversion to their E-series counterparts in isolated human platelets, highlighting a metabolic pathway of relevance.
