luprostenol

Luprostenol is a bioactive chemical.

2,3-dinorFluprostenol is a derivative of Fluprostenol, a prostaglandin F2α analog, and acts as an FP receptor agonist.

(+)-Fluprostenol (AL-5848), an analogue of prostaglandin F2 alpha, is a prostaglandin F2α receptor PTGFR agonist and decreases the expression of Oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1).

Fluprostenol is an F-series prostaglandin analog which has been approved for many years as a luteolytic in veterinary animals. The isopropyl ester of fluprostenol (travoprost) is an effective ocular hypotensive drug. CAY10532 is a methyl ester analog of fluprostenol.

2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) exhibits cannabinoid (CB) agonist activity at the CB1 receptor, is an important endogenous monoglyceride species, and is thus considered to be the natural ligand for the CB1 receptor. 2-AG can also be metabolized by cyclooxygenase-2 and specific prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) isomerases to form PG 2-glyceryl esters. Fluprostenol serinol amide (Flu-SA) is a stable analog of PGF2α 2-glyceryl ester that has much greater stability. The biological activity of Flu-SA has not yet been determined.

Fluprostenol isopropyl ester, a potent agonist of the F-series prostaglandin receptor, serves as a prodrug utilized clinically as an ocular hypotensive agent for glaucoma treatment. An impurity, 13(R),14(R)-epoxy fluprostenol isopropyl ester, arises during its production, existing as a chiral enantiomer of the epoxide. The pharmacological properties of this specific enantiomer have yet to be thoroughly investigated.

15(S)-Fluprostenol, an isomer of the FP receptor agonist fluprostenol, serves as a potential active metabolite of 15(S)-fluprostenol isopropyl ester. It can function as an agonist at FP receptors, though with lower potency compared to its 15(R) epimer, fluprostenol.

9-Keto Fluprostenol, a potent analog of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), features structural modifications aimed at enhancing its half-life and potency. It derives from Fluprostenol, a thoroughly researched, potent analog of PGF2α, primarily interacting with the FP receptor. The creation of 9-Keto Fluprostenol through the oxidation at C-9 of Fluprostenol suggests a high affinity for EP receptors, potentially functioning as a PGE2 agonist.

11-Keto Fluprostenol, a potent analog of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), primarily interacts with the FP receptor. It is a structurally modified derivative of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) designed to enhance its potency and extend its half-life. The compound is produced by oxidizing fluprostenol at the C-11 position, which results in 11-keto fluprostenol. This modification allows 11-keto Fluprostenol to exhibit moderate affinity for the CRTH2/DP2 receptor, though it shows negligible activity at the DP1 receptor, distinguishing its action from that of PGD2.

15(S)-Fluprostenol isopropyl ester, an isomer of the prostaglandin F2α analog, fluprostenol isopropyl ester, serves as a possible prodrug to 15(S)-fluprostenol. It has the potential to act as an agonist at FP receptors, albeit with lower potency compared to the 15(R) epimer and the FP receptor agonist, fluprostenol. Additionally, it may be present as a potential impurity in commercial formulations of fluprostenol isopropyl ester.

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.

Fluprostenol (ICI 81008), a synthetic derivative of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), serves as a luteolytic agent that promotes luteal degeneration and helps in regulating the reproductive cycle. It is employed in research on animal infertility and in controlling the reproductive cycles of domestic animals.

Fluprostenollactone diol is an intermediate used in the synthesis of Fluprostenol.

15-keto Fluprostenol is a derivative of Fluprostenol, which acts as an FP receptor agonist.

Travoprost (Fluprostenol isopropyl ester) is used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension,is a potent and selective FP prostaglandin receptor agonist.
