Prostaglandin Standards

Prostaglandin E2 (Standard) is the analytical standard of Prostaglandin E2. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a hormone-like substance that participate in a wide range of body functions such as the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle, the dilation and constriction of blood vessels, control of blood pressure, and modulation of inflammation.

Prostaglandin E1 (Standard) is the analytical standard of Prostaglandin E1. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Prostaglandin E1 (Alprostadil) is a prostanoid receptor ligand, with Kis of 1.1 nM, 2.1 nM, 10 nM, 33 nM and 36 nM for mouse EP3, EP4, EP2, IP and EP1, respectively. Prostaglandin E1 induces vasodilation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Prostaglandin E1 can be used as a vasodilator for the research of peripheral vascular diseases.

5-trans-PGE2 (Standard) is the analytical standard of 5-trans-PGE2. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 5-trans-PGE2 (5-trans Prostaglandin E2) is the active isomer of PGE2 and a potent activator of aromatase. Supplements the process of paracrine signaling between epithelial cells (expressing high levels of PGE2) and surrounding stromal cells (expressing high levels of aromatase). This process is involved in the growth and development of breast cancer.

Prostaglandin D2 (Standard) is the analytical standard of Prostaglandin D2. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is one of the major PGs actively produced in the brain of various mammals. Prostaglandin D2 is one of the most potent endogenous sleep promoting substances. PGD2 plays a protective role by suppressing inflammation.

Dinoprost (Standard) is the analytical standard of Dinoprost. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Dinoprost (Prostaglandin F2α) is an orally active, potent prostaglandin F (PGF) receptor (FP receptor) agonist. Dinoprost is a luteolytic hormone produced locally in the endometrial luminal epithelium and corpus luteum (CL). Dinoprost plays a key role in the onset and progression of labour.

Carboprost (Standard) is the analytical standard of Carboprost. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Carboprost (15(S)-15-Methyl Prostaglandin F2α) is a metabolically stable synthetic analog of prostaglandin F2α. Carboprost stimulates uterine contractions and induces abortion. Carboprost is used for postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony and for the termination of pregnancy in the second trimester.
