Fig. 1From: Quality, availability and storage conditions of oxytocin and misoprostol in MalawiStructures of oxytocin (modified from [2]) and of misoprostol, and their typical degradation mechanisms. Commercial misoprostol is a mixture of the depicted structure at its epimer at C16, and of the enantiomers of both compounds. Corresponding stereoisomers are found for the degradation products of misoprostolBack to article page
