| Targets |
Prostaglandin D2 targets multiple receptors including DP1 (PTGDR) and DP2 (CRTH2) receptors. It binds to these G protein-coupled receptors to exert its biological effects. Through DP1 receptor activation, PGD2 induces vasodilation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Through DP2 receptor activation, it promotes chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 cells. PGD2 plays important roles in sleep regulation, inflammation, and allergic responses.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, prostaglandin D2 is a bioactive lipid that plays a significant role in various physiological processes including inflammation, allergic responses, and the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. Its activity is typically evaluated using receptor binding assays and functional assays measuring cAMP accumulation or calcium flux in cells expressing DP1 or DP2 receptors. Its effects on immune cell chemotaxis and cytokine production are also assessed. However, specific potency data are not detailed in the available literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In A2AR KO mice, prostaglandin D2 (PGD2; injected into the lateral ventricle; 5-50 pmol/min; for 6 hours between 20:00 and 2:00) promotes sleep-wake curves [2].
In vivo, prostaglandin D2 is one of the most potent endogenous sleep-promoting substances. It plays a protective role by suppressing inflammation. It is released upon activation of mast cells and is synthesized by alveolar macrophages. PGD2 is involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles, allergic responses, and inflammation. Its levels are elevated in various inflammatory conditions. As a natural hormone, it is not administered as a therapeutic agent. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free assays for prostaglandin D2 involve evaluating its binding affinity to DP1 and DP2 receptors. Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant receptors. PGD2 is incubated with membranes and a radiolabeled ligand. Competition binding experiments determine Ki values. Its chemical purity and identity are confirmed by HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. The compound is typically dissolved in ethanol or DMSO for assay preparation.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for prostaglandin D2 typically involve treating cells expressing DP1 or DP2 receptors with various concentrations of PGD2. Functional assays such as cAMP accumulation (for DP1) or calcium flux (for DP2) are used to measure receptor activation. Immune cell chemotaxis assays are performed to assess DP2-mediated effects. Cytokine production is measured by ELISA. The compound's effects on cell signaling and function are assessed.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male WT and A2AR KO mice of inbred C57BL/6 strain (body weight 23-27 g, 11-13 weeks old) [1]
Doses: 5, 10, 20 or 50 pmol/min Route of Administration: Inject into lateral ventricle; last 6 hrs (hrs (hours)) between 20:00 and 2:00. Experimental Results: Induced sleep-wake curve. In vivo animal studies for prostaglandin D2 are conducted in models of sleep, inflammation, and allergy. The compound is administered via various routes including intracerebroventricular (for sleep studies) or systemic administration. Sleep-wake patterns are monitored using EEG/EMG recordings. Inflammatory markers are measured in serum and tissues. However, specific dosing regimens and experimental protocols are not extensively documented in the available literature. Prostaglandin D2 is a research tool for studying sleep and inflammation. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of prostaglandin D2 include a molecular weight of 352.47 g/mol and molecular formula C20H32O5. As a prostaglandin, it has a short half-life in circulation due to rapid metabolism. The compound is typically stored at appropriate conditions as a research reagent. Detailed ADME parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC are not extensively reported in the available literature. It is typically handled as a solution in organic solvents and stored at low temperatures.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of prostaglandin D2 is related to its physiological role as a hormone. It is generally well-tolerated at physiological concentrations. At supraphysiological levels, it may cause inflammatory and allergic responses. The compound is intended for research use only and not for therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

| Additional Infomation |
Prostaglandin D2 is a type of prostaglandin D compound with the structure prostaglandin-5,13-diene-1-acid, substituted with hydroxyl groups at positions 9 and 15 and a carbonyl group at position 11 (5Z,9α,13E,15S- stereoisomer). It is a metabolite in both humans and mice. It is the conjugate acid of prostaglandin D2(1-). It is a major metabolite of arachidonic acid cyclooxygenase. Prostaglandin D2 is released upon activation of mast cells, and it can also be synthesized by alveolar macrophages. Prostaglandin D2 has various biological functions, the most important of which are bronchoconstriction, inhibition of platelet-activating factor, and cytotoxicity. Prostaglandin D2 has been reported to be detected in Homo sapiens, Gersemia fruticosa, and Larix sibirica, and relevant data are available for reference. Prostaglandin D2 is an eicosate compound produced by the action of prostaglandin H2 on prostaglandin D2 synthase. Prostaglandin D2 mediates vasodilation, smooth muscle contraction, and circadian rhythms. This prostaglandin may also be associated with male pattern baldness. Arachidonic acid is the main product of arachidonic acid metabolism by cyclooxygenase. It is released upon mast cell activation and can also be synthesized by alveolar macrophages. Among its many biological functions, the most important are its bronchoconstriction, platelet-activating factor inhibition, and cytotoxic effects.
Prostaglandin D2 is a major prostaglandin produced in the brain that acts as a potent endogenous sleep-promoting substance and suppresses inflammation. It is the principal cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid. Its molecular formula is C20H32O5 with a molecular weight of 352.47 g/mol. PGD2 is a research tool for studying sleep, inflammation, and allergy. It is not for therapeutic use. |
