Usage

Description

Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) is a bioactive lipid compound that functions as a precursor for all 2-series prostaglandins and thromboxanes. It is a potent vasoconstrictor and acts as a TP receptor agonist, causing irreversible aggregation of human platelets at specific concentrations.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Prostaglandin H2 is used as a thromboxane A2 precursor for its role in promoting platelet aggregation and vascular smooth muscle contraction. This makes it a significant compound in the development of medications targeting blood clotting and vascular health.
Used in Research Applications:
PGH2 is utilized in research settings to study the mechanisms of platelet aggregation, blood clotting, and vascular responses. Its role as a precursor for other prostaglandins and thromboxanes makes it a valuable tool for understanding the complex interactions within the cardiovascular system.

Human cyclooxygenase-2 is a sequence homodimer that functions as a conformational heterodimer

Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases 1 and 2, also known as cyclooxygenases (COXs) 1 and 2, convert arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandin endoperoxide H2. Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases are targets of nonspecific nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and COX-2-specific inhibitors called coxibs. PGHS-2 is a sequence homodimer. Each monomer has a peroxidase and a COX active site. We find that human PGHS-2 functions as a conformational heterodimer having a catalytic monomer (Ecat) and an allosteric monomer (Eallo). Heme binds tightly only to the peroxidase site of Ecat, whereas substrates, as well as certain inhibitors (e.g. celecoxib), bind the COX site of Ecat. Ecat is regulated by Eallo in a manner dependent on what ligand is bound to Eallo. Substrate and nonsubstrate fatty acids (FAs) and some COX inhibitors (e.g. naproxen) preferentially bind to the COX site of E allo. AA can bind to Ecat and Eallo, but the affinity of AA for Eallo is 25 times that for Ecat. Palmitic acid, an efficacious stimulator of human PGHS-2, binds only E allo in palmitic acid/murine PGHS-2 co-crystals. Nonsubstrate FAs can potentiate or attenuate actions of COX inhibitors depending on the FA and whether the inhibitor binds Ecat or Eallo. Our studies suggest that the concentration and composition of the free FA pool in the environment in which PGHS-2 functions in cells, the FA tone, is a key factor regulating PGHS-2 activity and its responses to COX inhibitors. We suggest that differences in FA tone occurring with different diets will likely affect both baseline prostanoid synthesis and responses to COX inhibitors.

COX-2-targeted imaging agents

The presently disclosed subject matter provides a method for synthesizing a radiological imaging agent by reacting a COX-2-selective ligand with a compound comprising a detectable group, wherein the COX-2-selective ligand is a derivative of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) comprising an ester moiety or a secondary amide moiety. Also provided are compositions that are synthesized using the method, as well as methods of using the compositions of the presently disclosed subject matter.
