Biological Activity

[Description]:

Misoprostol(SC29333) is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analog that is used to prevent gastric ulcers, to treat missed miscarriage, to induce labor, and to induce abortion.Target: Prostaglandin ReceptorMisoprostol is a synthetic analog of natural prostaglandin E1. It produces a dose-related inhibition of gastric acid and pepsin secretion, and enhances mucosal resistance to injury. It is an effective anti-ulcer agent and also has oxytocic properties. Misoprostol seems to inhibit gastric acid secretion by a direct action on the parietal cells through binding to the prostaglandin receptor. Administration of misoprostol to EP3+/+ and EP3-/- mice showed similar levels of infarct rescue, indicating that misoprostol protection was not mediated through the EP3 receptor. Taken together, these findings suggest a novel function for misoprostol as a protective agent in cerebral ischemia acting via the PGE(2) EP2 and/or EP4 receptors [1, 2].
