The seven-carbon carboxylic acid substituent and the eight-carbon hydrocarbon substituent attached to the pentacyclic ring in prostaglandins are trans to each other. OPGAS, PGBs, and PGCs all contain a carbonyl group and a double bond in the five-membered ring. The location of the double bond determines whether a prostaglan in a PGA, PGB, and PGC.

Transcribed Image Text:38. Which of the following statements about prostaglandins is/are true?
The seven-carbon carboxylic acid substituent and the eight-carbon hydrocarbon
substituent attached to the pentacyclic ring in prostaglandins are trans to each other.
OPGAS, PGBs, and PGCS all contain a carbonyl group and a double bond in the
five-membered ring. The location of the double bond determines whether a
prostaglan in a PGA, PGB, and PGC.
If the ketose substituent in the PGF ring is converted to a hydroxy, the compound will
become PGE.
If the positions of the ketose and hydroxyl group in a PGF ring structure are
interchanged, the compound will become PGE.
