17trifluoromethylphenyl trinor prostaglandin f2α

A number of 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin F2α (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α) derivatives have been approved for the treatment of glaucoma. Of these, the unsubstituted or meta-substituted aromatic derivatives are the most potent FP receptor agonists. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α bears an aromatic ring which is reminiscent of the trifluoromethyl-phenoxy ring of travoprost ((+)-fluprostenol isopropyl ester). As an ocular hypotensive agent, it would be expected that 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α would act very much like the free acid of travoprost. 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α is a potent luteolytic and abortifacient, with a potency equal to or greater than fluprostenol and cloprostenol.

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), acting through the FP receptor, causes smooth muscle contraction and exhibits potent luteolytic activity. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor Prostaglandin F2α (17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α) is an analog of PGF2α that shares the meta-trifluoromethyl group of travoprost with the 17-phenyl trinor modification of latanoprost. It is anticipated to be a potent and selective agonist of the FP receptor, with potential applications in glaucoma and luteolysis. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is a lipophilic analog of 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α. Ethyl amides of PGs can serve as prodrugs, as they are hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.

Methyl esters of PGs serve as prodrugs, as they are efficiently hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.
