Prostaglandin D2-d9
QUICK LINKS
Contains nine deuterium atoms at the 17, 17′, 18, 18′, 19, 19′, 20, 20, and 20 positions and is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of PGD2 by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. PGD2 is the major eicosanoid product of mast cells and is released in large quantities during allergic and asthmatic anaphylaxis.1 Mastocytosis patients produce excessive amounts of PGD2, which causes vasodilation, flushing, hypotension, and syncopal episodes.1 PGD2 is produced in the brain via an alternative pathway involving a soluble, secreted PGD-synthase and known as β-trace.2,3 In the brain, Produces normal physiological sleep and lowering of body temperature.2,3 Further pharmacological actions include inhibition of platelet aggregation and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.4 PGD2 inhibits human ovarian tumor cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 6.8 µM.5
