title: Synthesis and biological activity of 15-arylprostaglandins.
abstract: Prostaglandin analogues in which the alkyl chain attached to C-15 in the natural compounds is replaced by an aryl group have been synthesised. Some of these compounds are potent luteolytic agents and comparisons are drawn between this series and 16-aryloxyprostaglandins.
