Cloprostenol is: a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F_2α (PGF_2α). It is a potent luteolytic agent; this means that, "within hours of administration," it causes the: corpus luteum——to stop production of progesterone, and——to reduce in size over several days. This effect is used in animals to induce estrus and to cause abortion.
