General description

9,11-Dideoxy-11α,9α-epoxymethanoprostaglandin F2α is an endoperoxide/thromboxane analog.

Application

9,11-Dideoxy-11α,9α-epoxymethanoprostaglandin F2α has been used:
  • to induce aortic smooth muscle (SM) contraction in mice deficient in myosin light chain 9 (Myl9) gene
  • to induce contraction as part of vascular reactivity experiments using mice aorta
  • as a thromboxane/prostaglandin agonist to study the effect of dithiothreitol (DTT) on mice arterial vessel viability

Biochem/physiol Actions

9,11-Dideoxy-11α,9α-epoxymethanoprostaglandin F2α is a thromboxane A2 agonist. It is useful in in vitro experiments to induce shape change, aggregation, secretion, phosphoinositide hydrolysis, and protein phosphorylation in platelets. It also causes an elevation in the cytosolic Ca++ levels slightly affecting the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) formation. It acts as a potent stimulator of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), which mediates leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium.
