6-keto prostaglandin F_1α (6-keto PGF_1α) is the inactive, non-enzymatic hydrolysis product of PGI₂. 6-keto PGF_1α serves as a useful marker of PGI₂ biosynthesis in vivo. When [³H]-PGI₂ is injected into healthy human males, 6.6% of the radioactivity is recovered from urine as [³H]-6-keto PGF_1α.

6-Ketoprostaglandin F1α is the stable hydrolysis product of prostacyclin (P839060), an eicosanoid which prevents the formation of platelet plugs and an effective vasodilator.

ChEBI: A prostaglandin Falpha that is prostaglandin F1alpha bearing a keto substituent at the 6-position.
