Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activates four E prostanoid (EP) receptors, EP1-4. EP4 is a Gs protein-coupled receptor that, by elevating the second messenger cAMP, plays important roles in bone formation and resorption, cancer, and atherosclerosis. CAY10580 is an 8-aza-9-oxo-15-hydroxy saturated analog of PGE2. It selectively binds the EP4 receptor (Ki = 35 nM) relative to the EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors (Ki = 3,000, 2,000, and >3,000 nM, respectively). CAY10580 stimulates cAMP formation in excised mouse ovaries.[Cayman Chemical]
ChEBI: 2-(3-hydroxyoctyl)-5-oxo-1-pyrrolidineheptanoic acid is a pyrrolidin-2-one substituted by 6-carboxyhexyl and 3-hydroxyoctyl groups at positions 1 and 2, respectively. It is a potent prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist (Ki=35 nM). It has a role as a prostaglandin receptor agonist. It is a member of pyrrolidin-2-ones, a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a secondary alcohol.
