Prostaglandin E3 (PGE3) is formed via the cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolism of eicosapentaenoic acid. [1]? In human ocular tissue, it comprises 2.4% of the COX products formed. [1]? When applied to the eyes of a rabbit, a 1 µg dose of PGE3 decreases intraocular pressure from 21 mmHg to about 17 mmHg.[2]?
