latanoprost

Latanoprost (Xalatan) is a prostaglandin F2alpha analogue and a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist with an ocular hypertensive effect.

Latanoprost lactone diol is an important intermediate compound in the synthesis of Latanoprost. Latanoprost, classified as a prostaglandin F2α analogue, functions as an agonist for the FP prostanoid receptor, resulting in a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP).

Latanoprost acid is a selective agonist of prostanoid receptors and inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and function through the inhibition of c-fos NFATc1 pathway. Latanoprost acid can be used in studies about lowering pressure inside the eyes.

Latanoprosttris(triethylsilyl) ether is a precursor in the synthesis of Latanoprost, which serves as an agonist for the prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) receptor, also known as the FP receptor.

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. 5-trans Latanoprost is an isomer of latanoprost wherein the double bond between carbons 5 and 6 has been changed from cis (Z) to trans (E). The trans isomer of latanoprost occurs as an impurity of between 2-5% in most commercial preparations of the bulk drug product. The present compound was prepared primarily as an analytical standard for detection and quantitation of this impurity. From what can be inferred from the study of other trans isomers of F-type prostaglandins, 5-trans latanoprost's biological activity is likely to be similar to that of the cis isomer. However, there are no specific published reports on the biological activity, and on the intraocular hypotensive activity in particular, of 5-trans latanoprost.

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Latanoprost is an isopropyl ester, a prodrug form which is converted to latanoprost (free acid) by endogenous esterase enzymes. The free acid form is 200 times more potent than latanoprost as a ligand for the human recombinant FP receptor. 5-trans Latanoprost (free acid) is an isomer of latanoprost (free acid) wherein the double bond between carbons 5 and 6 has been changed from cis (Z) to trans (E). The trans isomer of latanoprost occurs as an impurity in commercial preparations of the bulk drug product. The present compound was prepared primarily as an analytical standard for detection and quantitation of this impurity. From what can be inferred from the study of other trans isomers of F-type prostaglandins, the biological activity of this isomer is likely to be similar to that of the cis isomer. However, there are no specific published reports on the biological activity, and on reducing intraocular pressure in particular, of 5-trans latanoprost.

Latanoprost amide is a derivative of latanoprost . N/A

Latanoprost dimethyl amide is a derivative of latanoprost and an isomer of latanoprost ethyl amide . N/A

Latanoprost ethyl amide (Lat-NEt) is a latanoprost analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an N-ethyl amide. Prostaglandin esters exhibit ocular hypotensive activity, and prostaglandin N-ethyl amides have recently been introduced as alternative ocular hypotensive prodrugs. Although it has been claimed that prostaglandin ethyl amides are not converted to free acids in vivo, studies in our laboratories show that bovine and human corneal tissue can convert the N-ethyl amides of various prostaglandins to free acids at a rate of about 2.5 μg g corneal tissue hr. Lat-NEt is expected to exhibit the typical intraocular effects of latanoprost free acid, but with much slower hydrolysis pharmacokinetics characteristic of prostaglandin N-amides.

15(S)-Latanoprost is an analog of latanoprost in which the hydroxyl at carbon 15 is inverted relative to latanoprost. The IC50 values for the free acid forms of latanoprost and 15(S)-latanoprost were determined to be 3.6 nM and 24 nM, respectively, in a FP receptor binding assay using the cat iris sphincter muscle. A 3 μg dose of 15(S)-latanoprost caused a 1 mmHg reduction of IOP in normotensive cynomolgus monkeys. 15(S)-Latanoprost is a potential impurity in most commercial preparations of the latanoprost bulk drug product.

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group without isopropyl ester hydrolysis produces 15-keto latanoprost. 15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals. 15-keto Latanoprost is also one of the common minor impurities found in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent that the parent compound latanoprost, 15-keto latanoprost still retains the ability to produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in the intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys when administered at a dose of 1 μg/eye. 15-keto Latanoprost is also a miotic in the normal cat eye, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg/eye. Again, this is not as potent as many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α will produce this degree of miosis at a dose of less than 1 μg/eye. Products of β-oxidation account for most of the metabolites of latanoprost recovered in plasma and urine. However, 15-keto latanoprost is a minor metabolite, and one which could be enhanced in situations where β-oxidation is reduced.

15-keto Latanoprost is a potential metabolite of latanoprost when administered to animals and is a common minor impurity in commercial preparations of the bulk drug compound. Although much less potent than latanoprost, 15-keto Latanoprost can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure in normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. It also acts as a miotic in normal cats, causing an 8 mm Hg reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye, though it is not as potent as many other F-type prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin F2α, which achieves the same effect at less than 1 μg eye.

9-keto latanoprost is a derivative of Latanoprost, which acts as an agonist of the F-prostaglandin (FP) receptor.

Latanoprostene bunod (LBN) is nitric oxide (NO)-donating prostaglandin F2a analog and is a topical ophthalmic therapeutic. It is used for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT).

There are currently four prostaglandin (PG) derivatives which have been approved for human clinical use for the treatment of glaucoma. The names of the PGs and the concentrations of the approved doses are: travoprost (40 μg/ml), latanoprost (50 μg/ml), bimatoprost (300 μg/ml), and unoprostone (1,500 μg/ml). All of these compounds are modified at C-1 in order to act as lipophilic prodrugs in the eye. All have also been postulated to function via activation of the prostanoid FP receptor. Unoprostone and bimatoprost stand out in this class due to their lack of potency. Both are also claimed to have alternate mechanisms of actions: as a docosanoid in the case of unoprostone and as a prostamide in the case of bimatoprost. Lumula is a hybrid eicosanoid analog which incorporates the docosanoid features of unoprostone as well as the prostamide features of bimatoprost. Based on classical structure-activity relationships which have been established for prostanoid receptors

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), acting through the FP receptor, causes smooth muscle contraction and exhibits potent luteolytic activity. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor Prostaglandin F2α (17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α) is an analog of PGF2α that shares the meta-trifluoromethyl group of travoprost with the 17-phenyl trinor modification of latanoprost. It is anticipated to be a potent and selective agonist of the FP receptor, with potential applications in glaucoma and luteolysis. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α ethyl amide is a lipophilic analog of 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α. Ethyl amides of PGs can serve as prodrugs, as they are hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.

Bimatoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Oxidation of the C-15 hydroxyl group and amide hydrolysis of Bimatoprost produces 15-keto-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α, a potential metabolite when administered to animals. 15-keto PG analogs can be minor impurities in commercial preparations of corresponding bulk drug compounds. Although much less potent than the parent compound, 15-keto PGs can still produce a small but measurable decrease (1 mm Hg) in intraocular pressure of normal cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 1 μg eye. 15-keto Latanoprost (15-keto-17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro trinor PGF2α isopropyl ester) acts as a miotic in normal cat eyes, causing an 8 mm reduction in pupillary diameter at 5 μg eye. This is less potent compared to many other F-type PGs; for example, PGF2α induces similar miosis at less than 1 μg eye.

N-Desethyl Bimatoprost (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α amide) is an F-series PG analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an unsubstituted amide. PG esters have been shown to have ocular hypotensive activity. PG N-ethyl amides were recently introduced as alternative PG hypotensive prodrugs. Although it has been claimed that PG amides are not converted to the free acids in vivo, studies have shown that bovine and human corneal tissue converts the amides of various PGs to the free acids with a conversion efficiency of about 10-20% relative to the hydrolysis of isopropyl esters. 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α amide would be expected to show the typical intraocular effects of latanoprost, but with the much slower hydrolysis pharmacokinetics of the PG N-amides.

17-phenyl trinor PGF2α N-ethyl amide is an F-series prostaglandin analog approved as an ocular hypotensive drug, sold under the Allergan trade name Bimatoprost. The N-ethyl amide prostaglandin prodrugs are converted into the active free acid more slowly than analogous prostaglandin ester prodrugs like latanoprost. This product is the isopropyl ester of the free acid prostaglandin corresponding to Bimatoprost. The free acid, 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α, is a potent FP receptor agonist, and in human and animal glaucoma models, FP receptor agonist activity closely correlates with intraocular hypotensive activity. The 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α isopropyl ester derivative was examined for IOP-lowering activity during latanoprost's development and, at a dose of 3 μg eye in monkeys, was the most potent analog, reducing IOP by 1.3 mm Hg more than latanoprost, though it was also significantly more irritating to the eye.

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), acting through the FP receptor, causes smooth muscle contraction and exhibits potent luteolytic activity. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α is an analog of PGF2α that shares the meta-trifluoromethyl group of travoprost with the 17-phenyl trinor modification of latanoprost. It is anticipated to be a potent and selective agonist of the FP receptor, with potential applications in glaucoma and luteolysis. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α methyl ester is a lipophilic analog of 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α. Methyl esters of PGs serve as prodrugs, as they are efficiently hydrolyzed in certain tissues to generate the bioactive free acid.

A number of 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin F2α(17-phenyl trinor PGF2α) derivatives have been approved for the treatment of glaucoma.1,2,3Of these, the ones wherein the 13,14-double bond has been hydrogenated retain relatively good potency, but show a significantly reduced incidence of local irritant side effects.417-trifluoromethylphenyl-13,14-dihydro trinor PGF2αbears an aromatic ring which is reminiscent of the trifluoromethyl-phenoxy ring of travoprost ((+)-fluprostenol isopropyl ester). As an ocular hypotensive agent, it would be expected that 17-trifluoromethylphenyl-13,14-dihydro trinor PGF2αwould act very much like the free acid of latanoprost.

Latanoprost, the isopropyl ester of 17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro prostaglandin F2α, serves as a prodrug for the free acid form, a potent FP receptor agonist in the eye. Isopropyl 5-(diphenylphosphoryl)pentanoate may exist as a potential trace impurity in commercial latanoprost preparations.

17-phenyl trinor-13,14-dihydro Prostaglandin A2 is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin with relatively unexplored biological activity. Similarly structured, particularly in its lower side chain, to the PGF2α analog latanoprost, which is an approved glaucoma treatment, this compound presents an interesting subject for further pharmaceutical research and potential therapeutic applications.

9-Keto Fluprostenol Isopropyl Ester, an ester derivative of the FP receptor agonist fluprostenol, undergoes oxidation at carbon 9. This compound serves as a potential prodrug for 9-keto fluprostenol, which may function as an agonist at EP receptors. Additionally, it is considered a possible metabolite of fluprostenol isopropyl ester (travoprost), drawing parallels to the metabolism of latanoprost by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase observed in monkey cornea. Furthermore, certain F-series prostaglandins, such as 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α), undergo conversion to their E-series counterparts in isolated human platelets, highlighting a metabolic pathway of relevance.
