DINOPROST ETHANOLAMIDE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Prostaglandin F2α ethanolamide (PGF2α-EA) is produced by COX-2 metabolism of the endogenous cannabinoid, arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA), found in brain, liver, and other mammalian tissues. AEA can be metabolized directly by the sequential action of COX-2 and specific PG synthases to produce ethanolamide congeners of the classical PGs. PGF2α-EA has also been reported to be biosynthesized by this mechanism when AEA was infused into the lung and liver of living mice. PGF2α-EA is a potent dilator (EC50 = 58 nM) of the cat iris sphincter, which is a model system for testing potential intraocular hypotensive agents.

Definition

ChEBI: Prostaglandin F2alpha 1-ethanolamide is an N-acylethanolamine compound formed by a condensation of prostaglandin F2alpha and ethanolamine. It is a N-acylethanolamine and a prostaglandins Falpha. It is functionally related to a prostaglandin F2alpha.

Biological Activity

The end-product of the reaction of arachidonyl ethanolamide (AEA), an endogenous ligand for brain cannabinoid receptor, with COX-2.
