Description

Misoprostol is a PGE1 analog with agonist activity mediated by EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors. Misoprostol has been shown to inhibit the formation of gastric lesions in rats (ED50 = 0.31 ug/kg), inhibit superoxide generation in human neutrophils (EC50 = 0.35 uM), and relax fetal rabbit ductus arteriosus (EC50 = 0.36 nM) in a concentration dependent manner.
