- 16-Phenoxy and 16-substituted phenoxy-prostatrienoic acid derivatives
-
Novel racemic and 8R-antimeric 16-phenoxy- and 16-(o, m or p)-substituted phenoxy derivatives of 9α, 11α,15-trihydroxy-17,18,19,20-tetranorprosta-4,5,13-trans-trienoic acids, which may be further substituted at C-15 by a methyl or ethyl group, the pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic lower alkyl esters and salts thereof and processes for the production of such compounds. dl 9α,11α,15α-trihydroxy-16-m-trifluoromethylphenoxy-17,18,19,20-tetranorprosta-4,5,13-trans-trienoic acid and dl 9α,11α,15 -trihydroxy-15 -methyl-16-m-trifluoromethylphenoxy-17,18,19,20-tetranorprosta-4,5,13-trans-trienoic acid are representative compounds of the class. These compounds possess prostaglandin-like activities and thus are useful in the treatment of mammals where prostaglandins are indicated. They are particularly useful as luteolytic agents in female mammals.
