  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "The sodium salt form of esuberaprost, the 314-d isomer of beraprost, with potential anti-inflammatory activity. Upon administration, esuberaprost activates the prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype (PTGER4; EP4), and inhibits the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) pro-inflammatory pathway. This may attenuate cytokine production and decrease inflammation.",
