In vivo study | Unlike the Misoprostol, Misoprostol acid is detectable in plasma. Misoprostol is a lipophilic methyl ester prodrug and is readily metabolized to the free acid, which is the biologically active form. Misoprostol is used worldwide for a variety of indications in obstetrics and gynecology. Misoprostol has both gastric antisecretory and mucosal protective effects. |

biological activity | Misoprostol acid is an active metabolite of Misoprostol. Misoprostol is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) that is widely absorbed and rapidly converted to Misoprostol acid in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Misoprostol can be used in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced (NSAID) gastric ulcers and in studies of induced labor. |
