Prostaglandin F2β (PGF2β) (tromethamine salt) is a derivative of PGF2β (Item No. 16410) with increased water solubility. PGF2β is the 9β-hydroxy stereoisomer of PGF2α (Item No. 16010). It is much less active than PGF2α in antifertility and bronchoconstrictor activities.1,2,3 PGF2β exhibits bronchodilating activity in guinea pigs and cats and antagonizes the bronchoconstrictor activity of PGF2α.3
