travoprost

Travoprost (Fluprostenol isopropyl ester) 是一种异丙基酯前药，是一种高亲和力的，选择性的 FP 前列腺素全受体激动剂。它能够降低眼压，有潜力应用于青光眼和眼高压。

(+)-Fluprostenol (AL-5848) 是前列腺素 F2 α 的类似物，是一种前列腺素 F2α 受体 PTGFR 激动剂，可降低输卵管糖蛋白 1 (OVGP1) 的表达。

A number of 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin F2α (17-phenyl trinor PGF2α) derivatives have been approved for the treatment of glaucoma. Of these, the unsubstituted or meta-substituted aromatic derivatives are the most potent FP receptor agonists. 17-trifluoromethylphenyl trinor PGF2α bears 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 trinor PGF2α would act very much like the free acid of travoprost. 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α is a potent luteolytic and abortifacient, with a potency equal to or greater than fluprostenol and cloprostenol.

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.

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

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.

Fluprostenol is an F-series prostaglandin analog which has been approved for many years as a luteolytic in veterinary animals. The isopropyl ester of fluprostenol (travoprost) is an effective ocular hypotensive drug. CAY10532 is a methyl ester analog of fluprostenol.

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.

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.
