16 phenoxy tetranor prostaglandin f2α

16-phenoxy PGF2α is a metabolically stable analog of PGF2α. It binds to the FP receptor on ovine luteal cells with much greater affinity (440%) than PGF2α.

The actions of many clinical F-series prostaglandins (PGs), including those used for estrous synchronization and for reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP), are mediated through the PGF2α (FP) receptor. 16-phenoxy tetranor Prostaglandin F2α cyclopropyl methyl amide (16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α cyclopropyl methyl amide) is an analog of PGF2α containing a 16-phenoxy group on the lower (ω) side chain and a cyclopropyl methyl amide at the C-1 position. There are no published reports on the biological activity of 16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α cyclopropyl methyl amide.

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) drives luteolysis and smooth muscle contraction by activating the FP receptor. Stable, lipophilic analogs of PGF2α are used to modulate luteolysis and treat glaucoma. 16-phenoxy tetranor Prostaglandin F2α isopropyl ester (16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α isopropyl ester) is a lipophilic analog of 16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α. Isopropyl esters of PGs serve as prodrugs, as they are efficiently hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) drives luteolysis and smooth muscle contraction by activating the FP receptor. Stable, lipophilic analogs of PGF2α are used to modulate luteolysis and treat glaucoma. 16-phenoxy tetranor Prostaglandin F2α (16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α) is a metabolically stable form of PGF2α containing a 16-phenoxy group at the ω-terminus. It binds to the FP receptor on ovine luteal cells with much greater affinity (440%) than PGF2α. 16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α methyl ester is a lipophilic analog of 16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α. Methyl esters of PGs serve as prodrugs, as they are efficiently hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), acting through the FP receptor, causes smooth muscle contraction and exhibits potent luteolytic activity. Both 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α and 16-phenoxy tetranor PGF2α are metabolically stable analogs of PGF2α and potent agonists for the FP receptor. 17-phenoxy trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is a lipophilic analog of 17-phenoxy trinor PGF2α . Ethyl amides of PGs serve as prodrugs, as they are hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.
