Prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2) is formed from PGD2 by the elimination of the C-9 hydroxyl group, a process which is accelerated by the presence of albumin. PGJ2 inhibits platelet aggregation with an IC50 of about 5-10 nM. PGJ2 has antimitotic and antiproliferative effects on a variety of cultured normal cells and tumor cell lines. However, this activity has been attributed to further metabolites of PGJ2 and not the parent compound itself.
PGJ2 (Prostaglandin J2) is a Prostaglandin D2 metabolite that has shown potent anti-neoplastic and antiviral activity.
ChEBI: A member of the class of prostaglandins J that consists of prosta-5,9,13-trien-1-oic acid substituted by an oxo group at position 11 and a hydroxy group at position 15 (the 5Z,13E,15S stereoisomer).
