| prostaglandins e | (11 alpha,13e,15s)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (pge(1)); (5z,11 alpha,13e,15s)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (pge(2)); and (5z,11 alpha,13e,15s,17z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (pge(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. (12 Dec 1998) |

| prostaglandins e, synthetic | Analogs or derivatives of prostaglandins e that do not occur naturally in the body. They do not include the product of the chemical synthesis of hormonal pge. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostaglandins f | (9 alpha,11 alpha,13e,15s)-9,11,15-trihydroxyprost-13-en-1-oic acid (pgf(1 alpha)); (5z,9 alpha,11,alpha,13e,15s)-9,11,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (pgf(2 alpha)); (5z,9 alpha,11 alpha,13e,15s,17z)-9,11,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (pgf(3 alpha)). A family of prostaglandins that includes three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. All naturally occurring pgf have an alpha configuration at the 9-carbon position. They stimulate uterine and bronchial smooth muscle and are often used as oxytocics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostaglandins f, synthetic | Analogs or derivatives of prostaglandins f that do not occur naturally in the body. They do not include the product of the chemical synthesis of hormonal pgf. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostaglandins g | A group of physiologically active prostaglandin endoperoxides. They are precursors in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. most frequently encountered member of this group is the prostaglandin g2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostaglandins h | A group of physiologically active prostaglandin endoperoxides. They are precursors in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The most frequently encountered member of this group is the prostaglandin h2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostaglandins, synthetic | Compounds obtained by chemical synthesis that are analogs or derivatives of naturally occurring prostaglandins and that have similar activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
