ent-Prostaglandin F2α Cayman Chemical Item Number 10008122 Description Enzymatically-derived Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is an optically pure compound whereas PGF2α derived from the free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of arachidonate is a racemic mixture. Ent-PGF2α is the opposite enantiomer of PGF2α. This compound can only be generated via the isoprostane pathway of free radical-catalyzed lipid peroxidation and has been implicated as a marker of oxidative stress. Levels of ent-PGF2α are elevated in human urine from heavy cigarette smokers and patients with hypercholesterolemia.1↗ Synonyms ent-PGF2α (−)-Prostaglandin F2α Formal Name 9β,11β,15R-trihydroxy-(8β,12α)-prosta-5Z,13E-dien-1-oic acid CAS Number 54483-31-7 Molecular Formula C20H34O5 Formula Weight 354.5 Formulation A solution in methyl acetate Purity >98% Stability 1 year Storage -20°C Shipping Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere SMILES O[C@H]1[C@@H](C/C=C\CCCC(O)=O)[C@H](/C=C/[C@H](O)CCCCC)[C@@H](O)C1 InCHI Code 1S/C20H34O5/c1-2-3-6-9-15(21)12-13-17-16(18(22)14-19(17)23)10-7-4-5-8-11-20(24)25/h4,7,12-13,15-19,21-23H,2-3,5-6,8-11,14H2,1H3,(H,24,25)/b7-4-,13-12+/t15-,16+,17+,18-,19+/m1/s1 InCHI Key PXGPLTODNUVGFL-FCINMJCXSA-N |
