    Product Description

    8-iso Prostaglandin E2 (8-iso PGE2) is one of several isoprostanes produced from arachidonic acid during lipid peroxidation.1 It is a potent renal vasoconstrictor in the rat.1,2 8-iso PGE2 inhibits U-46619 or I-BOP-induced platelet aggregation with IC50 values of 0.5 and 5 µM, respectively.3 When infused into the renal artery of the rat at a concentration of 4 µg/kg/min, 8-iso PGE2 decreases the GFR and renal plasma flow by 80% without affecting blood pressure.1
