It was shown in vitro that the lamb ductus arteriosus forms prostaglandins PGE2, PGF2.alpha., 6 keto PGF1.alpha. (and its unstable precursor PGI2). The relative potencies of these endogenous prostaglandins were investigated on isolated lamb ductus arteriosus preparations contracted by exposure to elevated pO2 [oxygen tension] and indomethacin. All the prostaglandins (except PGF2.alpha.) relaxed the vessel. This is consistent with the hypothesis that endogenous prostaglandins inhibit the tendency of the vessel to contract in response to O2. Only PGE2, however, relaxed the vessel at concentrations below 10-8 M. PGI2 and 6 keto PGF1.alpha. had approximately 10-3 and 10-4 times the activity of PGE2. Although PGE2 has been observed to be a minor product of prostaglandin production in the lamb ductus arteriosus, the tissue''s marked sensitivity to PGE2 might make it the most significant prostaglandin in regulating the patency of the vessel.
