Heterocyclic prostaglandin analogues. Part 3. The relationship of configuration to biological activity for some hydantoin prostaglandin analogues
Abstract
The enantiomers of the two diastereoisomers of 5-(6-carboxyhexyl)-1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxypropyl)hydantoin have been synthesised. Potent inhibition of platelet aggregation in this series is associated with the configuration corresponding to that in the natural inhibitors, such as prostaglandins E1 and D2.
