The synthesis of 6,9-deepoxy-6,9-N-phenylimino-delta 6,8-prostaglandin I1. A novel inhibitor of leukotriene C and D synthesis.
The pyrrole analog of prostacyclin, 6,9-deepoxy-6,9-N-phenylimino-delta 6,8-prostaglandin I1 was synthesized from PGF2 alpha methyl ester. This pyrroloprostacyclin (U-60,257) and its methyl ester (U-56,467) have been shown to inhibit leukotriene C/D biosynthesis and antagonize leukotriene C/D contractions in vitro. Antigen induced bronchopulmonary changes in monkeys and guinea pigs are inhibited by U-60,257 in vivo.
