Bimatoprost is the Allergan trade name for 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin F2α ethyl amide (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide), an F-series PG analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group produces 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide. 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is a potential metabolite of 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide when 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is administered to intact animals. No pharmacological studies on 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide have been reported.

Isoprostanes are produced by the non-enzymatic, free radical peroxidation of phospholipid-esterified arachidonic acid. They have been used as biomarkers of oxidative stress, but they also have been found to have potent biological activity. ent-8-iso-15(S)-Prostaglandin F2α (ent-8-iso-15(S)-PGF2α) is a potent vasoconstrictor of porcine retinal and brain microvessels with EC50 values of 15 and 24 nM, respectively. This isoprostane is about ten-fold more potent than 8-iso-PGF2α in a whole blood platelet aggregation inhibition assay.

ent-Prostaglandin F2α is the enantiomer of PGF2α and is found in urine.

13,14-dihydro Prostaglandin F2α (13,14-dihydro PGF2α) is an analog of PGF2α lacking unsaturation in the lower side chain. It induces luteolysis in hamsters with a potency five times greater than PGF2α. The ED50 value for 13,14-dihydro PGF2α as a luteolytic agent in hamsters is 1.5 µg 100 g.[1]

8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α) is a metabolite of the isoprostane, 8-isoprostane (8-iso PGF2α), in rabbits, monkeys and humans. 8-iso PGF2α is a PG-like product of non-specific lipid peroxidation. In both humans and monkeys, exogenously infused 8-isoprostane is converted primarily to metabolites having 2 or 4 carbon atoms removed from the top side chain by β-oxidation. A similar pattern is observed when tritiated 8-isoprostane is infused into rabbits. Early in the infusion (within 10 minutes) 8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α was a significant component of the metabolite profile, which was comprised mostly of dinor 8-isoprostane metabolites. 8-iso-13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α weakly inhibits the U-46619 or collagen-induced aggregation of human platelets, although a number of the E-series isoprostanes are much more potent in this assay.

8-iso-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-15-keto PGF2α) is a metabolite of the isoprostane 8-iso PGF2α in rabbits, monkeys, and humans. 8-iso PGF2α is a prostaglandin-like product of non-specific lipid peroxidation. In humans and monkeys, exogenously infused 8-iso PGF2α is converted to metabolites with 2 or 4 carbon atoms removed from the top side chain by β-oxidation, with a similar pattern observed in tritiated 8-iso PGF2α-infused rabbits. Early in the infusion (within 1-2 minutes), 8-iso-15-keto PGF2α is a major component of the metabolite profile, primarily comprising unmetabolized 8-iso PGF2α. 8-iso-15-keto PGF2α is a vasoconstrictor when tested on the rat isolated thoracic aorta, acting via the TP (thromboxane) receptor.

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.

Prostaglandin F2α 1,11-lactone (PGF2α 1,11-lactone) is a lipid-soluble prodrug of Prostaglandin F2α and can be used in studies about treating glaucoma. Prostaglandin F2α 1,11-lactone is active as an antifertility agent with greatly reduced vasoactivity.

20-hydroxy Prostaglandin F2α (20-hydroxy PGF2α) is the ω-oxidation product of PGF2α. Cultured type II alveolar cells from pregnant rabbits metabolize exogenous PGF2α via microsomal cytochrome P450 ω-oxidation, producing 20-hydroxy PGF2α and its 15-hydroxy PGDH metabolites [20-hydroxy PGF2α and 15-hydroxy PGDH]. Cells from male rabbits exhibit only the 15-hydroxy PGDH pathway.

Investigations in our lab have shown that 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is converted by an amidase enzymatic activity in the human cornea to yield the corresponding free acid, with a conversion rate of about 25 μg/cornea/24 hours. The free acid, 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α, is a potent FP receptor agonist. 15(R)-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α is the 15-epi, or unnatural isomer of this active free acid metabolite. It has much diminished FP receptor-mediated activity

Bimatoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group and amide hydrolysis of Bimatoprost produces 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α, a potential metabolite when administered to animals. 15-keto PG analogs can be minor impurities in commercial preparations of corresponding bulk drug compounds. Although much less potent than the parent compound, 15-keto PGs can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. 15-keto Latanoprost (15-keto-17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro trinor PGF2α isopropyl ester) acts as a miotic in normal cat eyes, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye. This is less potent compared to many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α induces similar miosis at less than 1 μg eye.
