Prostaglandins are naturally occurring fatty acid compounds that regulate various physiological processes in the body. However, during the synthesis of prostaglandins for pharmaceutical use, impurities can be introduced into the final product. These impurities can have adverse effects on the safety and efficacy of the drug, leading to potential health risks for patients. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that prostaglandin drugs are thoroughly tested and purified to eliminate any impurities before they are administered to patients.
