as a prostaglandin E2 receptor 1 & 2 (EP1/2) antagonist to analyze its effects on cyclooxygenase-2 /prostaglandin E2 (COX-2/PGE2) signaling in the angiogenic feedback of endothelial cells to hypoxia[1]
as an EP2 antagonist to study its effects on tumor angiogenesis in human prostate cancer cell lines[2]
as an EP2 antagonist to analyze its effects on overexpression of amyloid precursor protein (APP)[3]
Biochem/physiol Actions
AH6809 plays a role in antagonizing the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines.[4]
DP/EP prostanoid receptor antagonist; has the highest affinity for DP receptors, but also acts as a weak antagonist at murine EP1 and EP2 prostanoid receptors.

Urease isoforms from jack bean seeds are toxic to insects, and this entomotoxic effect is mostly due to the release of a peptide by insect digestive enzymes. We previously demonstrated that jack bean urease (JBU) has antidiuretic effects on Rhodnius

A significant population of patients with severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is less responsive to beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists and corticosteroids, and there are possible safety issues concerning long-term use of these drugs. Inhaled prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is antiinflammatory and

The effects of prostaglandin (PG)E2 on lung cancer cells were investigated. 3H-PGE2 bound with high affinity to membranes derived from small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-SCLC (NSCLC) cell lines. Using NSCLC NCI-H1299 membranes, specific 3H-PGE2 binding to NCI-H1299 membranes

Methods for the artificial three-dimensional (3D) culture of mouse and human small-intestinal and large-intestinal stem cells have been established with CD24 Using various tissue homogenates, we investigated the colonic organoid forming capacity under the TMDU protocol immediately adjacent to Ootani's
In cancer management, the cyclooxygenase (COX)-targeted approach has shown great promise in anticancer therapeutics. However, the use of COX-2 inhibitors has side effects and health hazards; thus, targeting its major metabolite prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2))-mediated signaling pathway might be a rational
