Unoprostone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Unoprostone, a prostaglandin F2α analog, is a large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels and ClC-2 type chloride channels activator. Unoprostone reduces oxidative stress- and light-induced retinal cell death, and phagocytotic dysfunction. Unoprostone reduces intraocular pressure and can be used for the study of glaucoma, ocular hypertension and retinitis pigmentosa.

Biological Activity
Pretreatment with Unoprostone (0.01, 0.1, 1 μM; 1 h before H2O2 treatment) protects against H2O2-induced cell death in a concentration-dependent manner and the effect is significant at 0.1 μM and 1 μM concentrations[1].
Pretreatment with Unoprostone at concentrations of 0.1 to 3 μM protects against light-induced cell death in a concentration-dependent manner; the effect is significant at the 1 and 3 μM concentrations. Unoprostone reduces the morphological change, and it significantly inhibits the low mitochondrial membrane potential and cell death induced by light irradiation[1].
Unoprostone has prostaglandin F2α receptors (FP) binding affinity with a Ki of 3.86 μM[2].
