15 keto prostaglandin f1α

15-keto PGF1α is the initial metabolite of PGF1α via 15-hydroxy PGDH. In mammals, oxidation of C-15 markedly attenuates receptor binding and activity. In fish, the 15-keto compounds serve as post-ovulatory pheromones and are more active than the parent prostaglandins.

13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F1α (13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF1α) is a metabolite of PGF1α that has been reported in the rat stomach. The measurement of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF1α can be used as a marker of the in vivo production of PGF1α.

9-Keto Fluprostenol Isopropyl Ester, an ester derivative of the FP receptor agonist fluprostenol, undergoes oxidation at carbon 9. This compound serves as a potential prodrug for 9-keto fluprostenol, which may function as an agonist at EP receptors. Additionally, it is considered a possible metabolite of fluprostenol isopropyl ester (travoprost), drawing parallels to the metabolism of latanoprost by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase observed in monkey cornea. Furthermore, certain F-series prostaglandins, such as 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α), undergo conversion to their E-series counterparts in isolated human platelets, highlighting a metabolic pathway of relevance.
