Notes: 15(S)-15-methyl Prostaglandin F2α has been shown to have potent uterine stimulant and abortifacient properties when administered intramuscularly to induce labor.{4695,1608} 15(S)-15-methyl PGF2α ethyl amide is a lipophilic analog of 15(S)-15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester. Prostaglandin esters are generally hydrolyzed to the free acid upon in vivo administration, making the methyl esters useful prodrugs.{1925} Hydrolysis of prostaglandin amides in vivo is not thoroughly established.
