~ his invention relates to new prostanoic acid derivatives, and in particular it relates to new prostanoic acid derivatives which are analogues of the naturally occurring compounds known as prostaglandin F2a and prostaglandin E2, showing a similar spectrum of pharmacological properties and being useful for simi]ar purposes. The relative potency of the new compounds, however, in respect of the particular pharmacological effects shown is different from that of the above naturally occurring prostaglandins, and in particular they are more potent as luteolytic agents than the corresponding natural prostaglandins. That is to say, the prostaglandin F2a analogues of the present invention are more potent than natural prostaglandin F2a, and the prostaglandin E2 analogues of the present invention are more potent than natural prostaglandin E2. The new compounds are, in a similar way, more potent as stimulants of uterine smooth muscle than the corresponding natural prostaglandins F2a and E2, and the prostaglandin E2 analogues of the invention are particularly valuable in this respect. The new compounds are therefore advantageous when used as contraceptives, for the termination of pregnancy or for control of the oestrus cycle, and are also useful for addition to semen intended for artificial - 25 insemination of domestic animals~ the success rate of insemination being thereby increased, especiall~ in pigs.

As stated above, the compounds of the invention possess a profile of pharmacological properties which differs from that of the naturally occurring prostaglandins F2a and E2. Thus, for example the more polar C-15 epimer of l-(4-chlorophenyl)-9a,11a,15-trihydroxy-16,17,18,19,20-pentanor-5-cis,13-trans-prostadienoic acid is at least 50 times as active as prostaglandin F2~ as a luteolytic agent, yet has only approximately the same smooth muscle stimulant activity as prostaglandin F2a.
When a compound of the invention is to be used, for example for the induction of labour, it is used in --the same way as it is known to use the naturally-occurring prostaglandins E2 and F2a, that is to say, by administering a sterile, substantially aqueous solution containing up to lmg./ml. of active compound, by intravenous i.nfusion~by transcervical extra-ammotic injection,or by intra-ammotic injection,until labour commences.
