Description

Application

Latanoprost has been used:

• in the preparation of thermo-sensitive hydrogel consisting of curcumin-loaded nanoparticles (CUR-NPs) to determine its therapeutic effects on human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells under oxidative stress.
• as an ester pro-drug to study its effects on the murine ocular surface in mice.
• in the preparation of thermo-sensitive hydrogel to study its effects on controlling ocular hypertension.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Latanoprost is a potent, selective prostaglandin F2α analog receptor agonist. It is hydrolyzed by esterases into its biologically active form latanoprost acid in the cornea. Latanoprostplays a role in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) due to which it has therapeutic effects in treating glaucoma.
