Isoprostanes are prostaglandin (PG)-like products of free-radical induced lipid peroxidation. Although the isoprostanes derived from arachidonic acid are the best characterized, many other polyunsaturated fatty acids can form isoprostanes. (±)5-iPF2α-VI is one of dozens of possible stereo- and regioisomeric isoprostanes which can be formed from arachidonic acid. To date, the most extensively studied of these […]

(±)5-iPF2α-VI (5-iso Prostaglandin F2α-VI) is the racemate of 5-iPF2α-VI. 5-iPF2α-VI is a regioisomeric isoprostane formed from arachidonic acid (AA) and is a biomarker of oxidative stress[1].
