11-oxaprostaglandin f2α
11-oxaprostaglandin f2β

An oxaprostaglandin is a type of prostaglandin with one carbon atom replaced by an oxygen atom. These are found in nature and have also been produced synthetically.

Medical uses

A 13-oxaprostaglandin analogue has been shown to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension.[1] The 11-oxa prostaglandin analogue AL-12182 1 has potent topical ocular hypotensive activity.[2] 7-Oxa-13-prostynoic acid promotes erythrocyte lysis and dissolution of erythrocyte membranes.[3]

Synthesis

11-Oxaprostaglandin f2α and 11-oxaprostaglandin f2β have been synthesized from D-glucose.[4]
