Regio- and Stereoselective Reactions of 17-Phenyl-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2α Isopropyl Ester
摘要:
Novel prostaglandin F-2 alpha derivatives, functionalized at C13 and C14, have been prepared. 17-Phenyl-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F-2 alpha isopropyl ester [(15S)-1] and its epimer [(15R)-1] were stereoselectively epoxidized, using Sharpless conditions, to produce each of the four diastereomeric epoxides (15S)-2, (15S)-3, (15R)-2, and (15R)-3. Treatment of the four epoxides with LiOH stereospecifically-produced the pentahydroxy substituted analogues 12 and 13. Alternatively, epoxides 2 and 3 were allowed to react with thiophenolate ion. The attack of the sulfur nucleophile on the epoxide occurred at either C13 or C14 depending on the stereochemistry of the epoxide and of C15.
Phenyl-substituted prostaglandins: potent and selective antiglaucoma agents
摘要:
A series of phenyl-substituted analogues of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) were prepared and evaluated for ocular hypotensive effect and side effects in different animal models. In addition, the activity of the analogues on FP receptors was studied in vitro. The results were compared with those of PGF2alpha and its isopropyl ester. The phenyl-substituted PGF2alpha analogues exhibited good intraocular pressure reducing effect, were more selective, and exhibited a much higher therapeutic index in the eye than PGF2alpha or its isopropyl ester. The analogues exhibited high activity on FP receptors in a stereoselective manner for the 15alpha-hydroxyl group.
