Prostacyclin molecule
Prostacyclin molecule. Computer model showing the structure of the hormone prostacyclin, or prostaglandin I2 (PGI2). Atoms are colour-coded (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, oxygen: red). Prostacyclin acts to widen blood vessels (thus lowering blood pressure) and to prevent aggregation of platelets (preventing blood clotting). These effects are the opposite of those of the related hormone thromboxane, and the balance between the two is important in regulating the functioning of the circulatory system. When taken as a drug it is known as epoprostenol

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the hormone prostacyclin, also known as prostaglandin I2 (PGI2). In this computer-generated model, each atom is color-coded to highlight its composition; carbon appears in dark grey, hydrogen in light grey, and oxygen in red. Prostacyclin plays a vital role in regulating the circulatory system by widening blood vessels and preventing platelet aggregation, thereby reducing blood pressure and inhibiting clot formation. The unique feature of prostacyclin lies in its opposing effects to thromboxane, another hormone closely related to it. The delicate balance between these two hormones is crucial for maintaining optimal functioning within our circulatory system. When administered as a drug under the name epoprostenol, prostacyclin exhibits remarkable potential for treating hypertension or high blood pressure. This visually stunning image not only represents an important breakthrough in biology and medicine but also serves as a testament to the power of chemistry at a molecular level. With its white background and precise detailing, this computer artwork captures every aspect of this essential molecule's structure with precision. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into the world of biochemistry through their exceptional collection. This print offers insight into the fascinating realm of hormonal regulation while showcasing scientific beauty at its finest.
