Carboprost methyl

15 (S) -15-methyl Prostaglandin F2α methyl ester (15 (S) -15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester) is a derivative of 15 (S) -15-methyl PGF2α with increased membrane permeability. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester in vivo releases the biologically active 15 (S) -15-methyl PGF2α, which is a potent uterine stimulant and abortifacient.
