prostaglandin E1 ethyl ester

Description:
Prostaglandin E1 ethyl ester, with the CAS number 35900-16-4, is a synthetic derivative of prostaglandin E1, a bioactive lipid compound involved in various physiological processes. This substance is characterized by its role as a vasodilator, promoting blood flow and influencing smooth muscle contraction. It is typically used in medical applications, particularly in the treatment of conditions such as erectile dysfunction and peripheral vascular diseases. The ethyl ester modification enhances its lipid solubility, facilitating better absorption and bioavailability compared to its parent compound. Prostaglandin E1 ethyl ester exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. Its mechanism of action primarily involves the activation of specific receptors that mediate its effects on vascular smooth muscle and other tissues. Due to its potent biological effects, careful dosing and monitoring are essential when used therapeutically. As with many prostaglandins, it may also have side effects, necessitating a thorough understanding of its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in clinical settings.
