(+)-Fluprostenol

SKU: orb1306434

Description

(+)-Fluprostenol (AL-5848) is a synthetic prostaglandin F2α analog and a potent PTGFR agonist. It is utilized in research to study reproductive biology, as it downregulates Oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) expression. This compound is applied in both in vitro and in vivo models to investigate uterine and ovarian function.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  (+)-Fluprostenol(s.c. to rats on day 18 of pregnancy) increased cervical creep, or softness, by the following day. Doses of (+)-Fluprostenol 100-fold larger were necessary to increase uterine contractions. (+)-Fluprostenol produced falls in serum progesterone concentrations, increases in 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone concentrations, no changes in oestradiol or relaxin concentrations and a reduction in the ovarian human chorionic gonadotrophin binding capacity in vitro. (+)-Fluprostenol was less potent in inducing cervical softness when administered per vaginam, and a dose which produced softening in pregnant rats was ineffective in ovariectomized steroid-maintained pregnant or pro-oestrous rats.
