HIDE SMILES / InChI
PGD2 (Prostaglandin D2) is a major cellular regulator, has been shown to bind different receptors: D prostanoid receptor (DP) and chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2). PGD2 reportedly inhibits platelet aggregation, the proliferation of cells, and activation of neutrophils. This compound is also a potent vasodilator that also relaxes smooth muscle but causes contraction of the bronchial airways. PGD2 promotes T cell migration via CRTH2 and aggravates asthma. In contrast, there have been some studies suggesting that PGD2 exerts anti-inflammatory effects via DP, such as inhibiting the migration and activation of neutrophils, basophils, dendritic cells and T cells. Elevated levels of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) have been shown to be present in the bald scalp of androgenic alopecia (AGA) patients and was suggested the PGD(2)-GPR44 pathway as a potential target for treatment. Also was revealed, that PGD2 might be a new target for asthma therapy, PGD2 in serum and BALF were lower in the treated group than in the untreated group.

Sample Use Guides

on mice: 1 μg of the prostaglandin D2 in 200 μl of acetone or acetone alone to the central back on days 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 after depilation, with measurement of hair length performed on day 20.
Route of Administration: Topical
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) inhibits hair growth, likely through the GPR44 receptor. To test the effect of PGD2 on human hair growth, it was used explanted human hair follicles maintained in culture for 7 days. There were added increasing amounts (from 0 to 10 μM) of PGD2 or vehicle to the culture medium and measured hair length. Starting at 5 μM, PGD2 significantly inhibited hair growth. At 10 μM, PGD2-treated hair was 62 ± 5% shorter than vehicle.
