Description
AL 8810 is an 11β-
fluoro analog of prostaglandin F
2α (PGF
2α) which acts as a potent and selective antagonist at the FP receptor. AL 8810 methyl ester is a lipid soluble, esterified prodrug form of AL 8810 analogous to the commonly used therapeutic intraocular prostaglandin compounds such as latanoprost and travoprost. The pharmacology of AL 8810 methyl ester has not been published.
Uses
AL 8810 methyl ester is a prostaglandin F(2α) analog and a prostaglandin F(2α) receptor agonist. Can competitively antagonize the effects of the FP receptor agonist Fluprostenol (HY-108560). AL 8810 methyl ester has no significant potency against TP, DP, EP(2), EP(4) receptor subtypes in cell lines[1].
Definition
ChEBI: AL 8810 methyl ester is a member of indanes.
