Description
11-keto Fluprostenol is an analog of prostaglandin D
2 (PGD
2) with structural modifications intended to give it a prolonged half-life and greater potency. Fluprostenol is a well-studied, potent analog of PGF
2α and acts primarily through the FP receptor.
1 Oxidation at C-11 of fluprostenol yields 11-keto fluprostenol. 11-keto Fluprostenol exhibits moderate binding to the CRTH2/DP
2 receptor compared to PGD
2 and essentially no activity at the DP
1 receptor.
