Application
AH23848 has been used as an prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) receptor antagonist to study its effect on cAMP accumulation in monocrotaline (MCT28d) rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and human T cell enriched peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). It has also been used to study its effect on the expressions of collagen-I, metalloproteinase (MMP-1), MMP-3, and EP4 gene expression in human tendon fibroblasts following interleukin (IL)-1β treatment.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AH23848 regulates nitric oxide (NO) production and reduces endogenous cAMP accumulation. This is carried out by declination of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression and acceleration of iNOS protein degradation in glomerular mesangial cells.
EP4 prostanoid receptor antagonist with TP blocking activity.
