Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

Prostaglandins (PGs) and other eicosanoids exert important physiological actions in insects and other invertebrates, including influencing ion transport and mediating cellular immune defense functions. Although these actions are very well documented, we have no information on the mechanisms of PGs

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

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
