Prostacyclin (or PGI 2 ) is a member of the family of lipid molecules known as eicosanoids .
As a drug, it is also known as "epoprostenol". [ 1 ] The terms are sometimes used interchangeably. [ 2 ]
It is produced in endothelial cells from prostaglandin H 2 (PGH 2 ) by the action of the enzyme prostacyclin synthase . Although prostacyclin is considered an independent mediator, it is called PGI 2 (prostaglandin I 2 ) in eicosanoid nomenclature, and is a member of the prostanoids (together with the prostaglandins and thromboxane ).
