15-Keto-13, 14-trans-prostaglandin B1methyl ester, 13,14-trans-prostaglandin B1methyl ester, 13,14-cis-prostaglandin B1methyl ester, 13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin B1methyl ester and 13,14-dehydro-prostaglandin B1are organic intermediates used in the synthesis of prostaglandin Bx, a polymeric derivative of 15-keto-prostaglandin B1methyl ester. PGBxhas been shown to protect laboratory animals against cardiogenic shock, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. A normal phase, high performance liquid chromatographic analysis is presented which permits the identification and quantitation of these PGB1intermediates.
