Description: Prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) serves as the initial stable intermediate in the COX pathway, identifiable and characterizable due to its stability. This compound is identified as the C-15 hydroperoxide derivative of PGH2. Typically, PGG2 undergoes rapid metabolism via the inherent peroxidase activity of both...

Prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) is the first intermediate in the COX pathway which is stable enough to be isolated and characterized. It is the C-15 hydroperoxide of PGH2. Under normal conditions, PGG2 is quickly metabolized by the peroxidase activity intrinsic to both COX-1 and -2 to give PGH2, which serves as the key...
