`In the late 1960s and early 1970s, researchers at

`of rapid metabolism of the 15-hydroxy group of natural

`groups at 0-16 of PGE2, oxidative metabolism of the

`were orally active and pharmacologically more potent
`? !     
`and longer lasting than PGE2 itself. Unfortunately,
`!   73.
`
`the side effects of these two compounds have severely
` ! ? ! 
`restricted their clinical utility. 16,16-Dimethyl-PGE2
