15-methyl-pgf2a

Carboprost (15(S)-15-Methyl Prostaglandin F2α) 是一种前列腺素 F2α 的代谢稳定的合成类似物。它能够刺激子宫收缩并引起流产，可用于子宫收缩乏力引起的产后出血，以及在妊娠中期终止妊娠。

15(R)-15-methyl PGF2α, a metabolically stable analog of PGF2α, is an inactive, prodrug PGF agonist intended for activation by gastric acid through oral administration. This transformation involves acid-catalyzed epimerization that converts 15(R)-15-methyl PGF2α into its active counterpart, the 15(S)-isomer. Upon conversion, the 15(S)-isomer has been shown to induce luteolysis in rhesus monkeys following an approximately 12 mg/animal dosage, a response not observed with the 15(R)-isomer.
