Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues.
They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-
carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a
cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins.

d-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of beta-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.
Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is a acetylic fatty acid that turns vivid vle on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid
