ici80996

Cloprostenol sodium salt (ICI 80996 sodium salt) is a more water-soluble, crystalline form of cloprostenol compared to the free acid and is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin F2α.

Cloprostenol is a synthetic derivative of prostaglandin F2α that is used in veterinary medicine as a luteolytic agent for the induction of estrus and in the treatment of reproductive disorders in cattle, swine, and horses. (+)-5-trans Cloprostenol is a minor impurity produced in the synthesis of (+)-cloprostenol. The (+)-5-trans isomer is 20-fold less active than the 5-cis form in terminating pregnancy in the hamster.

(+)-Cloprostenol is a analogue of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), and is selective prostaglandin receptor agonistic.

(+) - cloprostenol sodium is a kind of water-soluble prostaglandin F2 α ( PGF2 α) Analogues. It is an FP receptor agonist and a potent luteinizing agent in rats and hamsters.

Cloprostenol is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin.
