General description

AH13205 is EP2 prostanoid receptor agonist. There are five types of prostanoid receptors, which are classified based on sensitivity to the five naturally-occuring prostanoid ligand. The EP type of receptor is further divided into four subgroups – EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4. EP2 activation results in vascular, bronchial and reproductive smooth muscle relaxation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AH13205 is a selective, low potency agonist for the EP2 receptor. AH13205 has been shown to compete with Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) for binding, resulting in the displacement of PGE2 binding.

1. The prostanoid receptor(s) that mediates inhibition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) generation from human peripheral blood monocytes was classified by use of naturally occurring and synthetic prostanoid agonists and antagonists. 2.

The cloning of the genes that encode for prostaglandin (PG) receptors has resolved much of the complexity and controversy in this area by confirming the classification proposed by Coleman, et al. Two issues that remained unresolved were (1) the inability

A fourth PGE receptor subtype, the EP4 receptor, has recently been described in the pig saphenous vein (PSV). Similar to the EP2 receptor, it mediates relaxation and is linked to stimulation of adenylate cyclase. The aim of this study was

1. Using a range of natural and synthetic prostanoid receptor agonists and antagonists, we have shown that the rat isolated trachea contains a heterogeneous population of prostaglandin receptor sub-types mediating both relaxation and contraction of the smooth muscle. Prostaglandin E2
