Epoprostenol sodium (Prostaglandin I2) sodium salt, the synthetic form of the natural prostaglandin derivative prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2), is registered worldwide for the treatment of Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Epoprostenol sodium is used in pulmonary hypertension and transplantation as a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation.

5-trans Prostaglandin D2 is a prostaglandin D2 receptor agonist.

3-Methoxy Limaprost is a derivative of Limaprost. Limaprost is a?PGE1?analogue and a potent and orally active vasodilator.

16,16-Dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (16,16-dimethyl PGE2) is an orally active vertebrate Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) homeostasis critical regulator. 16,16-Dimethyl prostaglandin E2 can act through EP2/EP4 and has an interaction with the Wnt pathway.

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog that reduces intraocular pressure by regulating scleral and trabecular outflow. Bimatoprost is used in the study of open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and other forms of glaucoma. Topical application of bimatoprost induces fat atrophy and causes a deepening of the eyelid sulcus.

15-Deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is a cyclopentenone prostaglandin and a metabolite of PGD2. 15-Deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2 is a selective PPARγ (EC₅₀ of 2 µM) and a covalent PPARδ agonist. 15-Deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2 promotes efficient differentiation of C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts to adipocytes with an EC₅₀ of 7 μM.

15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 (15-keto-PGE2) is an endogenous PGE₂ metabolite. 15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 inhibits STAT3 activation by binding to the Cys259 residue of STAT3. 15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 binds to and stabilizes EP2 and EP4 receptors. 15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 inhibits the growth and progression of breast cancer cells. 15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 activates PPAR-γ and promotes fungal growth. 15-keto-Prostaglandin E2 disrupts glomerular vascularization during zebrafish development and reduces the surface area of the glomerular filtration barrier.

Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) is an endothelium-derived contracting factor. Prostaglandin H2 can cause vasoconstriction. Prostaglandin H2 is the common precursor of all PGs and is produced by several cells that express cyclooxygen-ases. Prostaglandin H2 can activate PGD2 receptors CRTH2 and DP via interacting directly with the receptors and/or by giving rise to PGD2 after catalytic conversion by plasma proteins. Prostaglandin H2 can induce eosinophils migration and inhibit platelet aggregation. Prostaglandin H2 can accelerate the formation of dimers and higher oligomers of amyloid β_1-42. Prostaglandin H2 can be used for the researches of inflammation and neurological disease, such as Alzheimer disease.

6-keto Prostaglandin F1α is an endogenous metabolite present in Cerebrospinal_Fluid, Urine and Blood that can be used for the research of Meningitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2), an endogenous metabolite of Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2; HY-101988), is a potent PGD2 receptor (DP) agonist with K_is of 0.9 nM and 6.6 nM for hDP and hCRTH2, respectively. Prostaglandin J2 stimulates intracellular cyclic AMP production with an EC₅₀ value of 1.2 nM. Prostaglandin J2 induces oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. Prostaglandin J2 induces the accumulation/aggregation of ubiquitinated (Ub) proteins. Prostaglandin J2 is highly neurotoxic and potentially contributes to many neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD).

Prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) is a Cyclopentenone prostaglandin. Prostaglandin A2 induces Caspase-dependent Apoptosis, activates p53. Prostaglandin A2 activates ERK2 and JNK1/SAPK. Prostaglandin A2 shows antiviral activity against HSV-1. Prostaglandin A2 has anti-tumor effects. Prostaglandin A2 can be used for the research of colorectal cancer, colorectal carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and herpetic keratitis.

PGE-M (tetranor-PGEM) is a metabolite of Prostaglandin E₂ (HY-101952) and also an inflammatory biomarker. Urinary PGE-M is a potential biomarker for detecting advanced colorectal tumors. PGE-M can be used in studies related to colorectal cancer, obesity, aging and breast cancer.
