We found that prostaglandin (PG) D(2), the most abundant PG produced in the central nervous system (CNS), exhibited anxiolytic-like activity at a dose of 10-100pmol/mouse after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration in the elevated plus-maze test in mice. A DP(1) receptor-selective agonist

Human osteoblasts produce PGD(2), which acts on the DP receptor to decrease osteoprotegerin production and on the CRTH2 receptor to decrease RANKL expression and to induce osteoblast chemotaxis. These results indicate that activation of CRTH2 may lead to an anabolic
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is released following exposure of asthmatics to allergen and acts via the adenylyl cyclase-coupled receptor for PGD2 (DP receptor). In this study, it is reported that human eosinophils possess this receptor, which would be expected to inhibit

1. A potent and highly selective DP prostanoid receptor antagonist radioligand, [(3)H]-cyclohexyl-N-BWA868C (3-benzyl-5-(6-carboxyhexyl)-1-(2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxyethyl-amino) hydantoin, ([(3)H]-BWA868C)), has been generated for receptor binding and autoradiographic studies. 2. Specific [(3)H]-BWA868C binding to human platelet membranes achieved equilibrium within 60 min at 23 degrees
