Prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) is an organicperoxide belonging to the family ofprostaglandins.[1] The compound has been isolated as a solid, although it is usually used in vivo. It quickly converts intoprostaglandin H2, a process catalyzed by the enzymecyclooxygenase (COX).
Prostaglandin G2 is produced from thefatty acidarachidonic acid. The reaction, a double oxygenation, requires the enzyme COX, which inserts two molecules of O2 into the C-H bonds of the substrate acid.[2][1][3]
