Common_Name | Levuglandin E2 |
Description | Levuglandin E2 is a levuglandin generated in the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway. Levuglandins (LGs) and their stereo and structural isomers are extraordinarily reactive γ-ketoaldehydes that are generated by rearrangements of prostanoid endoperoxide intermediates of polyene cyclooxygenation. Their rapid adduction with biological nucleophiles results, inter alia, in pathological modifications of proteins and DNA. It also complicates their detection. Cyclooxygenase-promoted lipid oxidation is a pivotal step in the biosynthesis of an array of physiologically active metabolites. COX fosters a highly regio and stereoselective cyclooxygenation of arachidonic acid (AA) to deliver a single, enantiomerically pure endoperoxide, PGH2, that is a branch point in the biosynthesis of numerous hormone-like mediators of cellular activities. Spontaneous rearrangements of PGH2 were known to generate prostaglandins (PG) PGD2 and PGE2. (PMID: 15752459) |
