Abstract
Reduc-tion of prostaglandin E (PGE) (C20H34O5) with sodium borohydride yielded two isomeric reduction products PGF1 and PGF2, (C20H34O5) of which PGF1 was identical with a compound earlier isolated from sheep prostate glands and designated PGF. The data presented indicate that PGE is an unsaturated dihydroxyketocarboxylic acid and that of PGF1 and PGF2 are stereoisomeric, unsaturated trihydroxycarboxylic acids.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
