Lactones in the Synthesis of Prostaglandins and Prostaglandin Analogs [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 In the total stereo-controlled synthesis of natural prostaglandins (PGs) and their structural analogs, a vast class of compounds and drugs, known as the lactones, are encountered in a few key steps to build the final molecule, as: δ-lactones, γ-lactones, and 1,9-, 1,11-, and 1,15-macrolactones.

Prostaglandins and related factors: XIX. Thin-layer chromatography of prostaglandins
Journal of Lipid Research, 1964 Methods are described for separation of all known prostaglandins and some derivatives as free acids and methyl esters by thin-layer chromatography both on analytical and preparative scales. The use of silica gel containing silver nitrate was required for
