More Info
The PGF2α isoform 8-iso-PGF2α was found in significantly increased amounts in patients with endometriosis, thus being a potential causative link in endometriosis-associated oxidative stress.
Product Data
Biological target:
Dinoprost (Prostaglandin F2α) is an orally active, potent prostaglandin F (PGF) receptor (FP receptor) agonist.
In vitro activity:
The ET-1-induced (10(-8) M) contraction in isolated BTM was inhibited by PGF2alpha (10(-6) M) and fluprostenol (10(-6) M). This effect was blocked by FP receptor antagonists. In cultured TM cells, ET-1 caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i that was reduced by PGF2alpha. Reference: Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2006 Mar;47(3):938-45. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16505027/
In vivo activity:
PGF2α decreased PTGFR expression in bovine cells derived from the 4th month of gestation (p < 0.05). Reference: Molecules. 2022 Nov 1;27(21):7420. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9653824/
