Isoprostanes are a family of prostanoid molecules of non-cyclooxygenase origin. 8-iso Prostaglandin E₁ (8-iso PGE₁) is an isoprostane which is found in human semen at levels of 7 μg/ml. It is a pulmonary vasoconstrictor in anesthetized dogs with a potency similar to PGF_2α.

8-Isoprostaglandin E1 has vasodilatory and electrophysiological actions porcine coronary artery. It also inhibits acetylcholine release from parasympathetic nerves innervating guinea-pig trachea mediation by prostanoid EP3 receptors.
