AUTOKOIDS
PROSTAGLANDIN’S

2.
Prostaglandins
 Those agents/chemicals/local hormone which
are secreted from Prostate gland is called
prostaglandins.
 Also c/d Eicosanoids.
 Formed fromArachidonic acid.
 U.V.Euler got nobel prize for PG’s.

3.
Membrane phospholipid
Arachidonic acid +2 O₂
[COX]
PGG₂
Cyclo [Peroxidase activity]
EndoPer PGH₂
OXIDASE
Isomerase Thromboxane Prostacyclin synthase
synthase
PGE₂ PGF₂α PGD₂ TXA₂ PGI₂
TxB₂ 6-keto PGF₁α

4.
 Str. Of PG have –
.5 memb ring
.2 side chain
.A,B,C... Series-strl base
.subscripn1,2,3....-no. of double bond
.α- shows OH- grp orientation

5.
COX
Cox-1 Cox-2 Cox-3

‘’All PG’s are derivative of Prostanic Acid’’

Action,pathophysiological roles of
PG’s -
*Blood vessel – .PGE₂ -Vasodilation
.PGI₂ - vasodilatn , hypotentn
.PGF₂α- contraction
*‘PAD{Patent Arteriosus Ductus} - During faetal life PGE₂
keep Arteriosus ductus Patent(open).
*At birth PGE2 synthesis inhibit, then Ductus close.
*If ductus not closed after birth then called ‘Foramen Ovale
Disease’
*DRUG - .Indomethacin
.Aspirin Given after delivery if ductus not close

8.
 Blood platelets -
TXA2 PGI2
Produced by platelets Produced by Endothelium
Cause agregation of
platelets
Do not agregate platelets
(potent inhibitor of platelet
agregation)

9.
 Uterus- .PGF2α
.PGE2 Contraction
Pragnant & nonprgnt
 PGF2α is potent PG for abortion
these are used for terminate Pragnancy
*At term– PGF2α is found in maternal blood.
*Dismanhurrheia is due to PGE2.
.Aspirin- Prevention
.Methanemic acid -DOC
*PGF2α causes cervical ripening.

10.
 GIT- .Longitudenal muscles_ E2
 F2α contrctn
 Circular ms. _E2 Relaxation
 F2α contraction
 PGE2- .Diarrhea
.watery fluid
. Acid secretion
. Antiulcergenic
 Specific drug-Mesoprostol
 DOC – PPI’s { Lansoprazole }

Classification of PG’s
Natural Analogue
Alprostadil Gemiprost
Dinoprostol Mesoprostol
Dinoprost Latanoprost
Prostacycline Carboprost
Travoprost
Bimatoprost

12.
# F2 Analogue used in
Glaucoma treatment.
.Latanoprost
.Travoprost
.Bimatoprost
 Gemiprost , Carboprost
causes relaxation &
contraction . So used in
Abortion.
 Carboprost used in Post
Partam Haemorrhage.
