Conserved and species-specific oxylipin pathways in the wound-activated chemical defense of the noninvasive red alga Gracilaria chilensis and the invasive Gracilaria vermiculophylla

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012
Chemical defense of the invasive red alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla has been studied and compared to that of the noninvasive but related Gracilaria chilensis. Both species rely on a wound-activated chemical defense that makes them less attractive to the

Studies on the antiarrhythmic actions of prostaglandins

open access: yes, 1978
The antiarrhythmic actions of prostaglandins were first investigated using arrhythmias associated with cardiac ischemia in the dog and the rat. These studies were followed by investigations of the possible mechanisms of action, using rat heart tissue in ...

Prostaglandins and parturition

open access: yes, 1995
It seems likely that prostaglandins play a significant part in the mechanisms of parturition both at term and preterm. Concentrations of prostaglandins are increased in the blood, urine and amniotic fluid during labour.

Synthesis of prostaglandins and analogs

open access: yes, 2001
Prostaglandins are an important class of biologically active compounds. The robust syntheses of different prostaglandins are of importance to the pharmaceutical industry. Synthesis should also be able to lead to various analogs. To aid in the development
