Influence of polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) on rat-paw oedema induced by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). 1978

G Blazsó, and M Gábor

As a result of pretreatment with the known prostaglandin antagonist polyphloretin phosphate (50, 100 or 200 mg/kg i.v.), there is a statistically significant decrease in the magnitude of the oedema induced in Sprague-Dawley CFY rats by the subplantar administration of 1 microgram prostaglandin E1.

Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities.	PGE
