17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin f2a amide

N-Desethyl Bimatoprost (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α amide) is an F-series PG analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an unsubstituted amide. PG esters have been shown to have ocular hypotensive activity. PG N-ethyl amides were recently introduced as alternative PG hypotensive prodrugs. Although it has been claimed that PG amides are not converted to the free acids in vivo, studies have shown that bovine and human corneal tissue converts the amides of various PGs to the free acids with a conversion efficiency of about 10-20% relative to the hydrolysis of isopropyl esters. 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α amide would be expected to show the typical intraocular effects of latanoprost, but with the much slower hydrolysis pharmacokinetics of the PG N-amides.

17-phenyl trinor Prostaglandin F2α (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α) is a metabolically stable analog of PGF2α and is a potent agonist for the FP receptor, binding with a relative potency of 756% compared to that of PGF2α. The ethyl amide of 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α bimatoprost has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α methyl amide is an analog of bimatoprost. Its biological and toxicological properties have not been evaluated.
