Prostaglandin D2 was found to have a potent cytotoxic effect on L1210 leukemia culture cells. When Prostaglandin D2 was added to the culture medium, at the concentration of over 5 micrograms/ml growth of L1210 cells was almost completely inhibited. IC50 of Prostaglandin D2 for L1210 cell was 2.4 micrograms/ml. Cells exposed this agent showed remarkable change in its cytoplasm with many vacuoles and lysis of cells were observed at the concentration over 5 micrograms/ml.
