Safety and Handling
【Safety】
Poison by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Human and experimental teratogenic and experimental reproductive effects. Human reproductive effects by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravaginal, and intraplacental routes: postpartum depression and other maternal effects, abortion, and changes in measures of fertility. Human teratogenic effects by intraplacental route: extra embryonic structures. Human systemic effects by intravenous route: hypermotility, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.
【Formulations/Preparations】
...SOLN CONTAINING EQUIV OF 5 MG OF PROSTAGLANDIN F2ALPHA PER MILLILITER; IT IS AVAIL IN 4- & 8-ML AMPULS FOR INTRA-AMNIOTIC ADMIN TO INDUCE ABORTION.
【Specification】
usageEng:One of the most biologically studied of the primary prostaglandins. Closely related to Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in that both prostaglandins are biosynthesized from the same precursors and that PGF2 is the synthetic reduction product of PGE2. Phospholipase
- Non-steroidal chemical compounds with abortifacient activity.
- Drugs that stimulate contraction of the myometrium. They are used to induce LABOR, OBSTETRIC at term, to prevent or control postpartum or postabortion hemorrhage, and to assess fetal status in high risk pregnancies. They may also be used alone or with other drugs to induce abortions (ABORTIFACIENTS). Oxytocics used clinically include the neurohypophyseal hormone OXYTOCIN and certain prostaglandins and ergot alkaloids. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p1157)
【Therapeutic Uses】
Abortifacient Agents, Nonsteroidal; Oxytocics
...SOME PHYSICIANS PREFER TO DEFER ABORTION UNTIL AFTER 16TH WK, WHEN INTRA-AMNIOTIC ROUTE CAN BE EMPLOYED MORE SAFELY. /DINOPROST TROMETHAMINE/

ESTRUS WAS INDUCED IN 30 OF 31 COWS TREATED. OVULATION WAS OBSERVED IN 2 ANIMALS ON 3RD DAY, IN 23 ANIMALS ON 4TH DAY & IN 6 ANIMALS ON 5TH DAY OF TREATMENT. FERTILITY WAS 83.9%.
【Biomedical Effects and Toxicity】
AMONG COMPD OCCURRING IN SEMEN THAT ARE OF CURRENT RESEARCH INTEREST ARE PROSTAGLANDINS (25 MG/ML). /PROSTAGLANDINS/
APART FROM GENERALLY SLOW & SPECIES-DEPENDENT ISOMERIZATION, PGS E & F ARE RATHER STABLE IN BLOOD, BUT THEY ARE RAPIDLY DEGRADED & INACTIVATED BY TISSUE-BOUND ENZYMES; SOME 80-90% OR MORE IS DESTROYED DURING SINGLE PASSAGE THROUGH LIVER OR LUNGS. /PROSTAGLANDINS/
