| Misoprostol Acid Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analog with agonist activity mediated by EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of gastric lesions in rats (ED50 = 0.31 μg/kg), inhibit superoxide generation in human neutrophils (EC50 = 0.35 μM), and relax fetal rabbit ductus arteriosus (EC50 = 0.36 nM) in a concentration dependent manner. Misoprostol is commonly used in clinical medicine for the prevention of peptic ulcer disease. It has also been used in conjunction with mifepristone (RU-486; ) for the oral induction of first trimester abortion. Misoprostol contains a C-1 methyl ester and is readily absorbed and rapidly hydrolyzed in humans to the active free acid. | Chemical Properties | Pale Yellow Gel | Uses | Misoprostol Acid is a prostaglandin E1 analog with agonist activity mediated by EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors.
