5,6BETA-DIHYDRO PGI2 Usage And Synthesis

Description

6β-PGI₁ is a stable PGI₂ analog resistant to hydrolysis in aqueous solutions. 6β-PGI₁ has a much longer half-life than PGI₂, but a greatly reduced molar potency for receptor mediated function. 6β-PGI₁ has a K_act for adenylate cyclase in NCB-20 cells of 4.2 μM compared with 18 nM for PGI₂. The potency for vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation is about 1% of PGI₂.^1,2

Definition

ChEBI: 6-Prostaglandin I1 is a prostanoid.
