SB 218795 is an effective and selective antagonist of NK3 with a Ki 13 nM for hNK3 which is about 90-fold and 7000-fold selectivity over hNK2 and hNK1.

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group without isopropyl ester hydrolysis produces 15-keto latanoprost. 15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals. 15-keto Latanoprost is also one of the common minor impurities found in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent that the parent compound latanoprost, 15-keto latanoprost still retains the ability to produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in the intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys when administered at a dose of 1 μg/eye. 15-keto Latanoprost is also a miotic in the normal cat eye, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg/eye. Again, this is not as potent as many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α will produce this degree of miosis at a dose of less than 1 μg/eye. Products of β-oxidation account for most of the metabolites of latanoprost recovered in plasma and urine. However, 15-keto latanoprost is a minor metabolite, and one which could be enhanced in situations where β-oxidation is reduced.

15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals and is a common minor impurity in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent than latanoprost, 15-keto Latanoprost can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure in normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. It also acts as a miotic in normal cats, causing an 8 mm Hg reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye, though it is not as potent as many other F-type prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin F2α, which achieves the same effect at less than 1 μg eye.

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.
