NCIt definition : A synthetic prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) analogue with smooth muscle contraction inducing
property. It has been suggested that PGE2 regulates the intracellular levels of cyclic
3, 5-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by activating adenylate cyclase and thereby increases
cellular membrane calcium ion transport. By acting directly on the myometrium, dinoprostone
induces uterine and gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions.;
