QUICK LINKS

Butaprost is an EP2 selective agonist that has frequently been used to pharmacologically define the EP receptor expression profile of various human and animal tissues and cells (1,2). Prostaglandin free acids generally bind to their cognate receptors with 10 to 100 times the affinity of the corresponding ester derivative. Consistent with this trend, butaprost binds to membranes from EP2 receptor-transfected CHO cells with a Ki value of 2,400, whereas butaprost, free acid exhibits a significantly lower Ki value of 73 nM (3). Butaprost (free acid) is therefore another useful tool for characterizing EP receptor-mediated signalling events.
