An oxaprostaglandin is a type of prostaglandin with one carbon atom replaced by an oxygen atom. These are found in nature and have also been produced synthetically.
A 13-oxaprostaglandin analogue has been shown to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. [1] The 11-oxa prostaglandin analogue AL-12182 1 has potent topical ocular hypotensive activity. [2] 7-Oxa-13-prostynoic acid promotes erythrocyte lysis and dissolution of erythrocyte membranes. [3]
11-Oxaprostaglandin f2α and 11-oxaprostaglandin f2β have been synthesized from D-glucose. [4]
