Description

Piriprost is a structural analog of prostaglandin I₂ (PGI₂) with low IP receptor-mediated activity. Piriprost inhibits 5-lipoxygenase with an IC₅₀ around 100 µM, as measured by the release of 5-HETE from cultured myometrial cells.¹ Piriprost inhibits the release of histamine and leukotrienes from isolated porcine lung cells with an IC₅₀ of 0.11 µM, implicating its role in inflammation and allergic responses.²
