title: C(14)-fluorinated prostaglandins: synthesis and biological evaluation of the methyl esters of (+)-14-fluoro-, (+)-15-epi-14-fluoro-, (+)-13(E)-14-fluror-, and (+)-13(E)-15-epi-14-fluoroprostaglandin F2 alpha.
abstract: The synthesis and biological evaluation of the methyl esters of (+)-14-fluoroPGF2 alpha, (+)-15-epi-14-fluoroPGF2 alpha, (+)-13(E)-14-fluoroPGF2 alpha, and (+)-13(E)-15-epi-14-fluoroPGF2 alpha are described. Each fluoroprostaglandin has been evaluated for pregnancy interruption in the hamster and smooth-muscle stimulating effects on gerbil colon and hamster uterine strips.
