Novel prostaglandin-ethanolamide (PGE<sub>2</sub>-EA) and glycerol ester (2-PGE<sub>2</sub>-G) analogs were designed and synthesized to aid in the characterization of a putative prostamide receptor. Our design incorporates the electrophilic isothiocyanato and the photoactivatable azido groups at the terminal tail position of the prototype. Stereoselective Wittig and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions install the head and the tail moieties of the PGE<sub>2</sub> skeleton. The synthesis is complete ...[more]
