ChEBI: Unoprostone is an oxo monocarboxylic acid, a prostaglandins Falpha and a ketone. It has a role as an antiglaucoma drug and an antihypertensive agent.

General Description

Unoprostone (Rescula) is supplied as a 0.15% sterileophthalmic solution. Unoprostone is somewhat unusual inthat it is a docosanoid (22-carbon atom) PGF_2α analog marketedas the isopropyl ester. The natural 15-position alcoholis oxidized to the ketone as would be expected to occur invivo. Cautions and side effects are similar to those givenpreviously.
