(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given set of prostaglandins has to be classified.

Concept introduction:

Prostaglandins are synthesized in the body and they are not transported.  They perform their functions at the place where they are synthesized itself and are known as local mediators.  They are biochemical regulators and are even more powerful than steroids.  This is synthesized biologically from arachidonic acid using an enzyme cyclooxygenases.

Classification of prostaglandin is done by following simple rules.  Letters “PG” in each case represent prostaglandin and the last letter implies the substitution pattern.  Few examples are,

The number of carbon-carbon double bonds in the side chain is indicated by the subscript in the end.

To classify: the given prostaglandin
