8 iso prostaglandin a1

8-iso Prostaglandin A1 (8-iso PGA1) is an isoprostane and a member in a large family of prostanoids of non-cyclooxygenase origin. It occurs as a common minor impurity in most commercial preparations of PGE1. The biological activity of 8-iso PGA1 has not been studied in depth or reported in the literature.

Prostaglandin A1, a dehydration derivative of Prostaglandin E1, demonstrates inhibitory effects on tumor growth, inflammation, virus replication, platelet aggregation, and excitotoxin-induced neuron apoptosis [1].
