title: Preparation of two dinor-PGI2 metabolites from 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by Mycobacterium rhodochrous.
abstract: The transformation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to two prostacyctin metabolites, 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha (I) and 2,3-dinor-6,15-diketo-13,14-dihydro-PGF1 alpha (II) by Mycobacterium rhodochrous UC-6176 is described. The finding that the bacterium oxidized 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to the 6,15-diketo metabolite II shows that it contains 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase and delta 13 reductase enzyme systems.
