PROSTAGLANDIN A1

Описание

Prostaglandin A₁ (PGA₁) was first isolated as a dehydration product of the PGE₁ compounds found in human semen. It has been shown to cause renal vasodilation, increased urine sodium excretion, and lowered arterial pressure in hypertensive patients. It also has growth-inhibitory activity on tumor cells; the IC₅₀ value for the inhibition of human ovarian cancer is 7.5 μM.

Использование

Prostaglandin A1 has been shown to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in various cell types. In addition, as a precursor to the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, it activates pro-inflammatory PGD2 receptor CRTH2 initiating the anti-inflammatory response.

Общее описание

Prostaglandin A1(PGA1) belongs to the class of cyclopentenone prostaglandin. PGA1 is generated by the dehydration of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1).

Ферментативный ингибитор

This eicosanoid (FWfree-acid = 336.47 g/mol; CAS 14152-28-4; Symbol: PGA1) induces apoptosis and stimulates the expression of stress genes. The structure and role of the prostaglandin A1 was investigated by Bergstr?m and Samuelsson, who shared the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work on the eicosanoids. Target(s): CYP4F2; DNA topoisomerase II; HIV-1 transcription; 3ahydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, NADP+-dependent; IkB kinase; Mayaro virus replication; stress-induced NF-kB activation; and virus protein biosynthesis, or translation.
