前列腺素是一组带有脂环的不饱和脂酸分离、鉴定、并进而合成生命活动中起有重要作用的微量物质,是多年来有机化学的发展方向之一。近十余年来,大量研究集中在前列腺素。早在三十年代,便发现人的新鲜精液中含有高度生理活性的物质,对子宫有收缩作用,其提取物能收缩肌肉组织,并有强烈降低血压作用。瑞典 von Euler 将这具有高度生理活性的物质称为前列腺素(Prostaglandin)。由于在体内含量极微,常人每天不过产生1/10毫克左右,并在体 Prostaglandin is a group of unsaturated fatty acid with alicyclic separation, identification, and then synthesis of life plays an important role in trace substances, organic chemistry has many years of development. In the past ten years, a large number of studies have focused on prostaglandins. As early as the 1930s, it was found that human fresh semen contained highly physiologically active substances that contractible the uterus and that its extract can constrict muscle tissue and have a strong hypotensive effect. Von Euler, Sweden, refers to this highly physiologically active substance as prostaglandin. Due to the very small content in the body, ordinary people, however, produce about 1/10 mg per day, and in vivo
