Dinoprostone
A synthetic prostaglandin E2 used to ripen the cervix and induce labor in pregnant women at or near term. It acts on prostaglandin receptors to stimulate uterine contractions and soften the cervix. It is available as vaginal inserts, gels, and suppositories, and must be used in a monitored hospital setting due to the risk of uterine hyperstimulation.
