A synthetic analogue of prostaglandin E2, it is a potent inhibitor of pancreatic function and growth of experimental tumors. It also protects the gastric mucosa, prevents ulceration, and promotes the healing of peptic ulcers. It has a role as an anti-ulcer drug, a gastrointestinal drug and a radiation protective agent. It is a secondary allylic alcohol, a monocarboxylic acid, a prostanoid and a member of cyclopentanones.

Various agents with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate PEPTIC ULCER or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. This has included ANTIBIOTICS to treat HELICOBACTER INFECTIONS; HISTAMINE H2 ANTAGONISTS to reduce GASTRIC ACID secretion; and ANTACIDS for symptomatic relief.
Description16,16-dimethyl PGE2 is a competitive inhibitor of 15-hydroxy PGDH, but it is not a substrate for the enzyme. Because of its resistance to metabolism by 15-hydroxy PGDH, it has a prolonged half-life in vivo. 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 acts as an agonist on most EP receptor subtypes, and has been used experimentally to induce cervical ripening, uterine contraction, and prevent ulceration of the gastric mucosa in rats and dogs. The Kd for activation of isolated EP2 receptors is about 1 nM. 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 can be used to preserve the self-renewal properties while preventing the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells during expansion in culture.
