Etymology: < prosta- (in prostaglandin n.) + cycl- (in cycle n.¹) + -in suffix¹.

1976 R. A. Johnson et al. Prostaglandins XII. 915 The chemical structure of prostaglandin X..from prostaglandin endoperoxides, is 9-deoxy-6,9α−epoxy−Δ⁵-PGF_1α... The trivial name prostacyclin is proposed for [this].

1987 M. J. Neal Med. Pharmacol. at Glance xxviii. 63/1 Prostacyclin is synthesized in arterial walls.

1992 Lancet 27 June 1554/1 Magnesium inhibits platelet function, perhaps indirectly by release of prostacyclin.

2003 Guardian 19 Aug. ii. 14/3 Ace inhibitors build up defences in the vessel wall against blood clots—these defences are prostacyclins, which lubricate the vessel wall and stop clots sticking to it.
