[The action of 15-fluorine derivatives of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha on isolated smooth muscles]. / Deistvie 15-ftorproizvodnykh prostaglandinov E2 i F2 al'fa na izolirovannye gladkie myshtsy.

The effect of exchange of 15-hydroxyl for fluor on biological activity of PGF2 alpha and PGE2 on isolated smooth muscles of different organs has been studied. The exchange leads to significant increase in contractile (100-fold) and relaxation (1000-fold) activity of PGF2 alpha on smooth respiratory muscles. At the same time, the effect of 15-fluor-15-deoxyprostaglandin F2 alpha on smooth muscles of intestinal and vascular tracts did not differ from that of PGF2 alpha. Similar modification of PGE2 led to the decrease (10-fold) both in contractile and relaxation activity on all studied types of smooth muscles. The data obtained have been discussed within the boundaries of prostanoid receptor classification (Kennedy, 1982). Fluor derivative of PGF2 alpha may be used for pharmacological differentiation of EP-receptors.

[An 11-fluoroderivative of prostaglandin F2alpha--a stable thromboxano-mimetic]. / 11-Ftorproizvodnoe prostaglandina F2alpha--stabil'nyi tromboksanomimetik.

In a search for stable thromboxanomimetics the action of 11-fluoro-11-deoxyprostaglandin F2 alpha (11-fluoro-PGF2 alpha) on the aggregatory properties of platelets and the tone of the vascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal smooth muscles was studied. It was found that 11-fluoro-PGF2 alpha, in contrast to PGF2 alpha, induces platelet aggregation and exhibits a high activity with respect to smooth muscles sensitive to thromboxane A2 alpha (TXA2) and a low activity for smooth muscles sensitive to PGF2 alpha 9-11-epoxyimino-PGH2 (a specific antagonist of TXA2 receptors) competitively blocked the action of 11-fluoro-PGF2 alpha on vascular smooth muscles. Thus, 11-fluoro-PGF2 exhibits properties of a thromboxanomimetic that makes it possible to propose it for modelling TXA2-induced biological effects.
