PGE synthase (Prostaglandin E synthase), which converts cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived prostaglandin (PG) H2 to PGE2, occurs in multiple forms with distinct enzymatic properties, modes of expression, cellular and subcellular localizations and intracellular functions. Cytosolic PGES (cPGES) is a cytosolic protein that is constitutively expressed in a wide variety of cells and tissues and is associated with heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Membrane-associated PGES (mPGES), the expression of which is stimulus-inducible and is downregulated by anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids, is a perinuclear protein belonging to the microsomal glutathione S-transferase (GST) family. These two PGESs display distinct functional coupling with upstream COXs in cells; cPGES is predominantly coupled with the constitutive COX-1, whereas mPGES is preferentially linked with the inducible COX-2. Several cytosolic GSTs also have the capacity to convert PGH2 to PGE2 in vitro. Accumulating evidence has suggested that mPGES participates in various pathophysiological states in which COX-2 is involved, implying that mPGES represents a potential novel target for drug development.

Pranoprofen

Pranoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in ophthalmology. Target: PGE2Pranoprofen 0.1% was found to be as effective as diclofenac sodium 0.1% in reducing inflammation and pain after strabismus surgery. Pranoprofen could be used as a safe and effective anti-inflammatory alternative for the treatment of inflammation following strabismus surgery [1]. pranoprofen has efficacy equivalent to a moderate-potency corticosteroid with a better safety profile. It should be considered for the treatment of chronic conjunctivitis of presumed nonbacterial origin [2]. Pranoprofen inhibited ER stress-induced glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) expression, an ER-localized molecular chaperon. Moreover, pranoprofen inhibited ER stress-induced CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) expression, an apoptotic transcription factor. the inhibitory effect of pranoprofen on ER stress-related genes (GRP78 and CHOP) would be mediated through the inhibition of XBP-1 splicing [3].
