The synthesis and biological activity of the methyl esters of (+)-12-fluoroPGF2α, (+)-15-epi-12-fluoroPGF2α, (-)-ent-12-fluoroPGF2α, and (-)-15-epi-12-fluoroPGF2α are described.Each fluoroprostaglandin has been evaluated from pregnancy interruption in the hamster and smooth-muscle stimulating effects on gerbil colon and hamster uterine strips.All fluoroprostaglandins synthesized were shown to be neither substrates for 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase nor inhibitors of the enzyme.
