The physiological actions of PGD2 include inhibition of platelet aggregation, lowering of body temperature, regulation of sleep and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle (1,2,3). PGD2 mediates its effects by two distinct G-protein-coupled receptors, CRTH2/DP2 and DP14 (5,6). 15(R)-15-methyl PGD2 is a selective, potent agonist for the CRTH2/DP2 receptor (7). The EC50 values for eosinophil CD11b expression, actin polymerization, and chemotaxis are 1.4, 3.8, and 1.7 nM, respectively, each of which is approximately 3-5 fold lower than those for PGD2. In contrast the EC50 for the DP1-mediated increase in platelet cAMP by 15(R)-15-methyl PGD2 is >10 µM (7).
