Abstract

Prostaglandin (PG) D2 is a naturally occurring prostanoid that shows various kinds of pharmacological activity, such as inhibition of platelet aggregation, bronchoconstriction, sleep induction, and hypothermia, under various physiological and pathological conditions [1–3]. PGD2 is known to be actively produced by mast cells during IgE stimulation and to modify the anaphylactic process [4].
