Prostaglandins are a naturally occurring class of compounds in our bodies that affect blood pressure, and cause inflammation and other physiological responses. The synthesis of prostaglandins in our bodies starts with arachidonic acid (see figure below), a long, unsaturated hydrocarbon containing four C=C double bonds and an acid functional group (–COOH).
