prostaglandin b-2

Prostaglandin B2 (PGB2) is a non-enzymatic dehydration product resulting from the treatment of PGE2 or PGA2 with strong base. It has weak agonist activity on TP receptors and can increase pulmonary blood pressure in the rabbit at relatively high doses (5 ug/kg). [1]

2,5-dimethyl Celecoxib is a derivative of celecoxib that does not inhibit COX-2 (IC50 = >100 μM).1 It does inhibit microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) in HeLa cells (IC50 = 15.6 μM) and reduces prostaglandin E2 production in HeLa, A549, and HCA-7 cells (IC50s = 0.64, 0.83, and 3.08 μM, respectively).2 It inhibits proliferation of drug-sensitive RPMI8226 and multidrug-resistant 8226 Dox40 multiple myeloma cells, as well as increases the rate of apoptosis when used at concentrations of 20 and 30 μM.3 2,5-dimethyl Celecoxib reduces the expression of survivin, cyclin A, cyclin B, MEK1, and MEK2 in 8226 Dox40 cells. The antiproliferative effect of 2,5-dimethyl celecoxib is independent of mPGES-1 inhibition.2References1. Zhu, J., Song, X., Lin, H.-P., et al.
