15(R)-Carboprost(CAT: R063224) is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), primarily used for its uterotonic and oxytocic properties. It is clinically utilized to induce labor, manage postpartum hemorrhage, and as a second-trimester abortifacient. The 15(R) stereochemistry refers to the specific arrangement of the hydroxyl group on the 15th carbon, which can influence the biological activity of the molecule. Like other prostaglandins, 15(R)-Carboprost acts by stimulating smooth muscle contraction in the uterus, aiding in the expulsion of contents or control of bleeding. Its synthetic nature allows for greater stability and control over dosing in medical applications.
