Misoprostol is a synthetic analog of natural prostaglandin E1. It produces a dose-related inhibition of gastric acid and pepsin secretion, and enhances mucosal resistance to injury. It is an effective anti-ulcer agent and also has oxytocic properties.
Prostaglandins are end products of a chain reaction commencing with release of unsaturated fatty acids from cells. More modern terminology is use of the word eicosanoid instead of prostaglandin. Conversion of the fatty acids to various prostaglandins is effected via an enzyme complex termed prostaglandin synthetase or cyclooxygenase, which is released from the cell membrane. There are many steps involved in conversion of the fatty acids to prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are not only synthesized when tissues are injured, but are ubiquitous throughout the body. They are not stored but are synthesized upon need.
