Notes:
The uterine muscle stimulating activities of the 15-methyl analogues of naturally occurring prostaglandins E2, and F2α, in the second trimester of pregnancy have been investigated. Prostaglandins 15(S) 15 methyl E2, methyl ester and 15(S) 15 methyl F2α, (free acid) when administered by the intravaginal, intra-amniotic and intramuscular routes are effective abortifacients. The human uterine muscle stimulating potencies and duration of actions of these compounds when compared with the parent prostaglandins E2, and F2α, are greatly increased.
