11β-PGE2 is the C-11 epimer of PGE2. It is a moderate inhibitor of PGE2 binding to rat hypothalamic membranes with a Ki value of 53 nM. 11β-PGE2 also stimulates bone resorption in rats at concentrations of 10-8 to 10-6 M which is similar to PGE2. 11β-PGE2 inhibits PGE2 binding to the…

An F-series PG analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an N-diethyl amide; dialkyl amides such as a 17-p-PGF2α-NEt2 are inert to corneal amidase activity, and are not converted in any detectable amount to the corresponding free acids.

Iloprost is a second generation structural analog of prostacyclin (PGI) with about ten-fold greater potency than the first generation stable analogs, typified by carbaprostacyclin. Iloprost binds with equal affinity to the human recombinant IP and EP1 receptors with a Ki of 11 nM. Iloprost…

Misoprostol is a widely sold analog of PGE1 which has potent but relatively non-selective agonist activity with respect to the prostanoid EP receptor subgroup. Misoprostol has been used therapeutically for many years in humans for the treatment of gastric ulcer disease under the Searle tradename…
