Description

Unoprostone, a prostaglandin F2α analogs (PGAs), activates BK channels to reduce oxidative stress- and light-induced retinal cell death, and phagocytotic dysfunction. Unoprostone reduces intraocular pressure and is used topically for glaucoma or ocular hypertension[1].

In Vitro

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 F receptors (FP) binding affinity with a Ki of 3.86 μM[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
