Human chondrocytes3 and mouse adrenal chromaffin cells4 were treated with sulprostone to study the biological effects of PGE2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Selective EP3 prostanoid receptor agonist.
Sulprostone is an analog of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)1 and antagonizes vasopressin-induced antidiuretic responses in cells from rat renal inner medullae by a mechanism that involves activation of Rho.2
Arthritis and rheumatism, 60(2), 513-523 (2009-01-31)
To elucidate the pathophysiologic links between prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and osteoarthritis (OA) by characterizing the catabolic effects of PGE(2) and its unique receptors in human adult articular chondrocytes. Human adult articular chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer or alginate beads with

Selexipag [2-{4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetamide] is a selective nonprostanoid prostacyclin (PGI2) receptor (IP receptor) agonist that is approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In contrast to selexipag, PGI2 analogs used in the clinic are nonselective agonists at prostanoid receptors and

Extensively based on evidence gained from experimental animal models, the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor type 1 (TRPV1)-activator capsaicin is regarded as a valuable tool in the research on neurogenic inflammation. Although capsaicin-related drugs gained renewed interest as a therapeutic

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Prophylactic uterotonic drugs can prevent PPH, and are routinely recommended. There are several uterotonic drugs for preventing PPH but it is still debatable which drug is best. To identify
European journal of pain (London, England), 22(5), 845-861 (2018-01-18)
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) enriched in inflamed tissues contributes to chronic pain by sensitizing nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons (nociceptors). Of four PGE2 receptors (EP1-4), EP4 plays a major role in PGE2-induced nociceptor sensitization. We have previously reported that PGE2
