Metabolite Identification
Common NameProstaglandin E2
DescriptionProstaglandin e2, also known as dinoprostone or PGE2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as prostaglandins and related compounds. These are unsaturated carboxylic acids consisting of a 20 carbon skeleton that also contains a five member ring, and are based upon the fatty acid arachidonic acid. Thus, prostaglandin E2 is considered to be an eicosanoid lipid molecule. Prostaglandin e2 is a drug which is used for the termination of pregnancy during the second trimester (from the 12th through the 20th gestational week as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period), as well as for evacuation of the uterine contents in the management of missed abortion or intrauterine fetal death up to 28 weeks of gestational age as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. also used in the management of nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (benign hydatidiform mole). other indications include improving the cervical inducibility (cervical "ripening") in pregnant women at or near term with a medical or obstetrical need for labor induction, and the management of postpartum hemorrhage. Prostaglandin e2 exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Prostaglandin e2 exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
