An earlier proposed endoperoxide intermediate in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins was detected in short-time incubations of arachidonic acid with the microsomal fraction of homogenates of sheep vesicular glands. Conversion of the endoperoxide into prostaglandin E2was stimulated by reduced glutathione but suppressed byp-mercuribenzoate andN-ethylmaleimide. The methyl ester of an unknown compound was isolated by solvent extraction and thin-layer chromatography after short-time incubation of arachidonic acid with the microsomal fraction andp-mercuribenzoate. This derivative was identical to the methylester of the endoperoxide, as shown by its conversion into the methyl esters of 11-dehydroprostaglandin F2αand prostaglandin E2by spontaneous rearrangement and its conversion into the methyl ester of prostaglandin F2αby mild chemical reduction. The smooth muscle-stimulating activity of the endoperoxide ester on the isolated rabbit aortas trip was 4- to 8-times higher than that of the methyl ester of prostaglandin E2.
