11-deoxy PGF1α is a synthetic analog of PGF1α. In whole animal studies, a dose of 32 mg kg inhibited gastric acid secretion by 35%. 11-deoxy PGF1α is also known to cause rat uterine contractions at a dose 0.3 times that of PGF1α. It also exhibits vasopressor and bronchoconstrictor activities at about half the potency of PGF2α in guinea pigs.
11-deoxy PGF1β is a synthetic analog of PGF1β. In contrast to PGF2α and PGF1α, 11-deoxy PGF1β exhibits vasodepressor and bronchodilator activities in guinea pigs at a dose of 500 μg kg.
2,3-dinor-11β-Prostaglandin F2α (2,3-dinor-11β-PGF2α) was recovered from the urine of both normal monkeys and humans when infused with radiolabeled PGD2, where it represented approximately 1% and 4% of the infused radiolabeled dose, respectively. 2,3-dinor-11β-PGF2α has also been recovered from the urine of mastocytosis patients, where it is excreted in large amounts. In human asthmatic patients, 2,3-dinor-11β-PGF2α represents about 40% (as determined by GC/MS) of the immunoreactive 11β-PGF2α when measured using 's 11β-PGF2α EIA Kit . The excretion rate for 2,3-dinor-11β-PGF2α is approximately 200-250 ng/24 hours in a normal adult.
