General description

Cloprostenol is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F2α (PGF). Cloprostenol contributes to the induction of estrus in animals and has uterotonic activity. Cloprostenol induces abortion in animals.

Application

(+/-)-Cloprostenol sodium salt hydrate has been used in studying its influence in oestrus synchronisation and uterine development in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cloprostenol is a potent FP prostanoid receptor agonist. It is 2- to 3-fold more potent than fluprostenol but less selective. Cloprostenol is similar in potency to PGF at EP and TP prostanoid receptors. It is used for the treatment of infertility in sows and gilts.
