Abstract
In order to improve the modest oral activity of PGE2 as an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, analogs were prepared and tested orally in histamine-challenged rats. Insertion of a double bond at C-4, resulting in the 4,5-allene analog of PGE1, gave a small increase in activity. Introduction of the omega-tetranor-16-phenoxy lower sidechain, a modification known to enhance activity in the PGF series, gave an eight-fold increase in activity. The analog having both modifications (enprostil, 2) showed a six hundred-fold increase in oral antisecretory activity over PGE2, which may reflect a potentiation effect. Modification of enprostil at C-1 (various esters) and at C-11 (11-methyl, 11-deoxy) generally resulted in compounds of high activity while modifications at other sites generally resulted in significant reductions in activity.
