9-Deoxy-9-methylene-inter-oxa-19-oxo-PGF.sub.1 compounds

Sih, John C.;

The present invention provides novel 9-deoxy-9-methylene-inter-oxa-19-oxo-PGF.sub.1 compounds, which are useful for a variety of pharmacological purposes, e.g., antiasthmatic indications.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel prostaglandin analogs. Particularly, the invention relates to prostaglandin analogs wherein the C-19 position is substituted by oxo, i.e., 19-keto-PG compounds or 19-oxo-PG compounds. Most particularly, the present invention relates to novel 9-deoxy-9-methylene-inter-oxa-19-oxo-PGF.sub.1 compounds, a disclosure of the preparation and pharmacological use of which is incorporated here by reference from U.S. Ser. No. 025,899, filed Apr. 2, 1979, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,228,104 on Oct. 14, 1980.

PRIOR ART

Prostaglandins exhibiting a variety of substitution at the C-19 position are known. See particularly J. C. Sih, et al., JACS 91:3685 (1969) wherein 19-oxo-PGE.sub.2 and 13,14-dihydro-19-oxo-PGE.sub.1 are disclosed. Further, Chemical Abstracts 86:43265H purportedly discloses 19-oxo-PGF.sub.2 .alpha.. The abstract is derived from Japanese Kokai No. 76 82,245.
