Prostaglandin A1 (PGA1) is a cyclopentenone prostaglandin containing chemically reactive α,β-unsaturated carbonyl. This cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) metabolic product aids in regulating the development and progression of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). In addition, PGA1 also regulates various biological processes via Michael addition. It exhibits antiviral activity against avian influenza A viruses (IAV) by inducing cytoprotective heat shock response in infected cells and by inhibiting nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity.

Antitumor prostaglandins(PGs) such as Delta12-PGJ2 and Delta7-PGA1 possess a cyclopentenone or cross-conjugated dienone structures. Antitumor PGs are actively incorporated through cell membrane and control gene expression. Very recent studies clarified that P53 independent expression of p21 and gadd 45, activation
Cyclopentenone prostanoids (cyP) arise as important modulators of inflammation and cell proliferation. Although their physiological significance has not been fully elucidated, their potent biological effects have spurred their study as leads for the development of therapeutic agents. A key determinant
The production of the antiaggregatory and vasodilatory prostacyclin (PGI2) in patients with gynaecological tumours was studied by assaying urinary 6-keto-prostaglandin F1a (= 6-keto-PGF1a), a hydration product of PGI2), by radioimmunoassay following high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 59 patients with
Acute infection of mammalian cells with several types of RNA and DNA viruses often results in induction of heat-shock gene expression. The presence of hsp70 in intact virions, as well as the transient association of HSP with viral proteins and
Prostaglandin (PG) A1 is a metabolic product of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) that is potentially involved in regulating the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). PGA1 is a cyclopentenone (cy) PG characterized by the presence of a chemically reactive α,β-unsaturated
