世界保健機関（WHO）
Dinoprostone, prostaglandin E2, was introduced into medicine in
1971 and is primarily used for cervical ripening during the induction of labour. It is
available in various formulations for oral, parenteral and vaginal administration.
Tablets, ampoules and vaginal dosage forms (tablets, pessaries, gel) remain
registered in many countries.

一般的な説明
PGE2 Dinoprostone (Prostin E2;Cervidil) is a naturally occurring prostaglandin that is administeredin a single dose of 10 mg by controlled-release(0.3 mg/hr) vaginal insert to induce cervical ripening. Use ofthis agent will potentiate the effects of oxytocin.

生物活性
Endogenous prostaglandin and primary product of arachidonic acid/cyclooxygenase pathway. Binds with high affinity to EP 1 , EP 2 , EP 3 and EP 4 receptors (K d values range between ~ 1-10 nM). Influences a wide range of processes including inflammation, smooth muscle relaxation, fertility and gastric mucosal integrity. Regulates vertebrate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis.

安全性プロファイル
Poison by
subcutaneous and intravenous routes.
Moderately toxic by ingestion and
intraperitoneal routes. An experimental
teratogen. Human reproductive effects by
intravenous, intraplacental, and intravaginal
routes: changes in the uterus, cervix and
vagina; termination of pregnancy; and
changes in ferthty. Experimental
reproductive effects. Mutation data
reported. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
