Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including

Dinoprostone is a naturally occurring prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Dinoprostone is equivalent to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). It stimulates labor and delivery by stimulating the uterine, and thus terminates pregnancy. Dinoprostone is also capable of stimulating the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract of man. This activity may be responsible for the vomiting and/or diarrhea that is not uncommon when dinoprostone is used to terminate pregnancy. Dinoprostone administered intravaginally stimulates the myometrium of the gravid uterus to contract in a manner that is similar to the contractions seen in the term uterus during labor, resulting in the evacuation of the products of conception from the uterus. It is believed that dinoprostone exerts its uterine effects via direct myometrial stimulation. It is used for the termination of pregnancy during the second trimester (from the 12th through the 20th gestational week as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period), as well as for evacuation of the uterine contents in the management of missed abortion or intrauterine fetal death up to 28 weeks of gestational age as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. Also used in the management of nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (benign hydatidiform mole). Other indications include improving the cervical inducibility (cervical "ripening") in pregnant women at or near term with a medical or obstetrical need for labor induction, and the management of postpartum hemorrhage.

Aromatase activity in adipose stromal cells was determined using the tritiated water-release assay and normalized to the number of cells in each flask. Cells in T-25 flasks were treated with 0.1% ethanol (control) dexamethasone (100 nm), and the following compounds at 1-mkM concentrations: indomethacin, PGE2, 5-trans PGE2, 17-phenyl trinor PGE2, 11-deoxy PGE1, and sulprostone. After 24 h, the cells were incubated for 6 h with fresh media and drugs along with 50 nm androstenedione including 2 mkCi [1beta-3H] androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione. Subsequently, the media was removed for extraction purposes and a 250-_l aliquot was counted in 5 ml of liquid scintillation mixture.
