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.

Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGs) are transported into cells and stimulate the expression of various stress genes, such as that coding for BiP (an ER luminal protein). To reveal the site of action of the PGs for the induction of stress-gene expression
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

Influenza A viruses (IAV) have the potential to cause devastating pandemics. In recent years, the emergence of new avian strains able to infect humans represents a serious threat to global human health. The increase in drug-resistant IAV strains underscores the
Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (cyPG) are reactive eicosanoids that may display anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative actions, possibly offering therapeutic potential. Here we report the identification of members of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) family as selective targets of the cyPG prostaglandin A(1) (PGA(1)). AKR
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
