    Abstract:
    The development of a prostaglandin PGF2 alpha photoaffinity probe led to the synthesis and biological evaluation of azide-substituted 17-phenyl-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha and 16-phenoxy-17,18,19,20-tetranorprostaglandin F2 alpha derivatives. Two approaches for the preparation of iodinated versions of these prostaglandins were evaluated: (1) iodination of a phenyl azide bearing an activating hydroxyl group and (2) iodination of an aniline precursor to the phenyl azide group and subsequent conversion of the aniline to the phenyl azide. In the first approach, 17-(4-azido-2-hydroxyphenyl)-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha, 16-(5-azido-3-hydroxyphenoxy)-17,18,19,20-tetranorprostaglandin F2 alpha, and 16-(4-azido-2-hydroxyphenoxy)-17,18,19,20-tetranorprostaglandin F2 alpha were prepared by using the Corey synthesis, but were biologically inactive presumably as a result of the hydrophilic phenolic hydroxyl group. In the second approach, the iodination of a 17-(4-aminophenyl)-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha derivative delivered 17-(4-azido-3-iodophenyl)-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha, which exhibited competitive binding with natural [3H]PGF2 alpha to ovine luteal cells and to plasma membranes of bovine corpora lutea. [125I]-17-(4-Azido-3-iodophenyl)-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha was utilized in a preliminary photoaffinity cross-linking experiment.
