16-phenoxy tetranor prostaglandin f-2α

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.

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.
