15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase

SW033291 is a small-molecule inhibitor of 15-PGDH (Ki=0.1 nM) that increases prostaglandin PGE2 levels in bone marrow and other tissues.

ML-148 is a selective inhibitor of 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH, IC50 = 56 nM). ML-148 can be used to profile across a panel of related dehydrogenase or reductase enzymes and in studies about prostaglandin-signaling pathways.

ML387 is an inhibitor of human NAD(+)- dependent 15- hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase.

ML388 is an inhibitor of human NAD(+)- dependent 15- hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase.

Ph CL 28A is a 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase inhibitor.

15(R)-HETE, a monohydroxy fatty acid, is synthesized from arachidonic acid via aspirin-acetylated COX-2, leading to the formation of specialized pro-resolving mediators 15(R)-lipoxin A4 and B4 through a transcellular mechanism involving 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). Additionally, this compound is produced by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 and can be generated from arachidonic acid by COX-1 in human mast cells, where it accumulates due to its resistance to conversion into 15-KETE by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH). As an agonist of PPARβ/δ, 15(R)-HETE induces the expression of a target gene in NIH3T3 cells, demonstrating its biological significance.

Prostaglandin F2α-1-glyceryl ester undergoes oxidation via 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-HPGDH) [1].

9-Keto Fluprostenol Isopropyl Ester, an ester derivative of the FP receptor agonist fluprostenol, undergoes oxidation at carbon 9. This compound serves as a potential prodrug for 9-keto fluprostenol, which may function as an agonist at EP receptors. Additionally, it is considered a possible metabolite of fluprostenol isopropyl ester (travoprost), drawing parallels to the metabolism of latanoprost by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase observed in monkey cornea. Furthermore, certain F-series prostaglandins, such as 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α), undergo conversion to their E-series counterparts in isolated human platelets, highlighting a metabolic pathway of relevance.

15-epi-PGE1 (15R-Prostaglandin E1; 15-Epiprostaglandin E1), a stereoisomer of PGE1, exhibits reduced biological activity [2]. This compound acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of human placental 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), with an inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) value of 170 μM [1].
