Sphinganine-1-phosphate (d17:0) is a sphingolipid analog of sphinganine-1-phosphate (d18:0) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (d18:1) that has a 17-carbon base. Sphinganine-1-phosphate (d17:0) levels are lower in surgical and cadaver trabecular meshwork samples isolated from patients with primary open angle glaucoma compared with control samples.

KR-67607, also known as NTX-101 is novel selective 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitor. KR-67607 decreased 4-hydroxynonenal expression and increased antioxidant and mucus secretion in BAC-treated rat eyes. KR-67607 showed its protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion-induced eye injury. KR-67607 effectively reduced cortisol levels in mouse eyes and maintained the trabecular meshwork (TM) structure in the presence of transient ischemic stress. Furthermore, KR-67607 reversed the elevation of intra-ocular pressure (IOP), suggesting that the TM structure maintained by KR-67607 prevented the excessive rise in IOP that exacerbates glaucoma.

CK-666 is a cell-permeable inhibitor of the actin-related protein Arp2 3 complex, binding to and stabilizing its inactive state, thereby preventing the movement of the Arp2 and Arp3 subunits into the activated filament-like (short pitch) configuration.

Verosudil (AR-12286) is a highly potent Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor with a Ki of 2 nM and 2 nM against ROCK1 and ROCK2, respectively. AR-12286 mitigates steroid-induced intraocular pressure in mice by decreasing intraocular pressure through enhanced outflow of aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork.

Lamin fragment has a peptide sequence of Lys-Ala-Gly-Gln-Val-Val-Thr-Ile-Trp. Lamin polypeptides have an almost complete α-helical conformation with multiple α-helical domains separated by non-α-helical linkers that are highly conserved in length and amin

Type II collagen is composed of a triple helix of three identical α chains. These molecules associate to form a fibril that is stabilized by intermolecular crosslinks1. Damage to the fibrillar meshwork, made up of primarily type II collagen (z 90–95%), ma

C16 Sphingosine-1-phosphate (C16 S1P) is a derivative of sphingosine-1-phosphate that binds to S1P1/EDG-1, S1P3/EDG-3, and S1P2/EDG-5 receptors with affinities of 115%, 83%, and 103%, respectively, relative to S1P in CHO cells. C16 S1P was increased in postmortem primary open angle glaucoma trabecular meshwork samples.

ROCK-IN-4 is a potent ROCK inhibitor that maintains NO release capacity, reversibly depolymerizes F-actin, and blocks mitochondrial respiration in human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells. ROCK-IN-4 can be utilized to study glaucoma or high intraocular pressure.
