Biological Activity
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is one of the five principal prostaglandins enzymatically derived from PGH2. It is abundantly generated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by lipocalin-type PGD synthase and in peripheral regions by myeloid cells, such as mast cells and basophils, via leukocyte-type PGD synthase. The compound 1,25-trans-PGD2 is an isomer of PGD2, characterized by the alteration of the double bond between carbons 5 and 6 from cis(Z) to trans(E). This trans isomer, found as a 2-5% impurity in most commercial PGD2 bulk drug preparations, is primarily synthesized as an analytical standard to identify and quantify this impurity. Based on existing studies of trans isomers of F-type prostaglandins, 5-trans-PGD2 likely exhibits biological activity comparable to its cis isomer, although no specific published reports confirm this for 5-trans-PGD2.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Generally, for molecules that require light-protected storage, we will ship them in amber glass bottles.
Yes — TargetMol inhibitors can be used in cell-based and in vitro experiments. Prepare a DMSO stock, then dilute into cell culture medium to the desired working concentration, keeping DMSO ≤ 0.1% (v/v) to avoid solvent toxicity. Note that not all compounds have published data for every cell line or assay system; in such cases, perform a dose-response experiment with appropriate positive and vehicle controls to validate efficacy in your specific model.
