Overview
Travoprost is the isopropyl ester of prostaglandin F2alpha in which the pentyl group is replaced by a 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxymethyl group. A synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F2alpha, ophthalmic solutions of travoprost are used as a topical medication for controlling the progression of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, by reducing intraocular pressure. It is a pro-drug; the isopropyl ester group is hydrolysed by esterases in the cornea to the biologically active free acid, fluprostenol. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent, an antiglaucoma drug, a prodrug, a prostaglandin receptor agonist and an ophthalmology drug. It is an isopropyl ester, a prostaglandins Falpha and a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes. It is functionally related to a fluprostenol.

Pharmacodynamics
Travoprost demonstrates preferential affinity and full agonist activity for the prostaglandin FP receptor in the nanomolar range. Travoprost shows no significant affinity for other prostanoid or non-prostanoid receptors. Travoprost-induced reduction of intraocular pressure is observed about two hours after administration, and the maximum effect is reached after 12 hours. Significant lowering of intraocular pressure can be maintained for periods exceeding 24 hours with a single dose.
Mechanism of Action
Travoprost is a prodrug. Upon administration, travoprost is absorbed through the cornea and hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, travoprost free acid. The ester moiety of the free acid allows for enhanced penetration into the aqueous humour. While the exact mechanism of travoprost is largely unknown, it is believed to be related to its full agonist activity for the prostaglandin FP receptor. By binding to the FP receptor, travoprost free acid increases the outflow of aqueous humour via the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways, thereby reducing the intraocular pressure.
Metabolism/Metabolites
Travoprost, an isopropyl ester prodrug, is hydrolyzed by esterases in the cornea to its biologically active free acid. Systemically, travoprost free acid is metabolized to inactive metabolites via beta-oxidation of the α (carboxylic acid) chain to give the 1,2-dinor and 1,2,3,4-tetranor analogs, via oxidation of the 15-hydroxyl moiety, as well as via reduction of the 13, 14 double bond.

MeSH Pharmacological Classification
Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS.
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following ophthalmic administration, travoprost is absorbed through the cornea. In many patients in multiple-dose pharmacokinetic studies, the plasma concentrations of the free acid were below 0.01 ng/mL, which was the quantitation limit of the assay. In these studies, the mean plasma Cmax of travoprost free acid was 0.018 ± 0.007 ng/mL (ranging from 0.01 to 0.052 ng/mL), and the Tmax was about 30 minutes.
The elimination of travoprost free acid from plasma is rapid. The levels of travoprost free acid were generally below the limit of quantification within one hour after dosing. Less than 2% of the topical ocular dose of travoprost was excreted in the urine within 4 hours as the travoprost free acid.

Applications
DescriptionTravoprost was launched in the US as Travatan, an ophthalmic solution (0.004%) administered topically for the treatment of elevated intraocular hypertension (lOP) through open-angle glaucoma, a common optic neuropathy and a leading cause of blindness. Travoprost is the isopropyl ester of (+)-fluprostenol, a new prostaglandin derivative belonging to the PGF2α, analog class. This compound can be prepared in 8 steps from a bicyclic lactone aldehyde by a Wittig alkylidenation followed, after 2 ketonic reductions, by a lactol opening to prostenoic acid while protecting and deprotecting appropriately. Travoprost is a full agonist of FP receptors with a greater affinity than PGF2α, (K1 = 52 nM). Pharmacologic studies in rabbits treated daily for a week demonstrated a significant increase of the microvascular optic nerve head blood flow without significant alterations in the systemic flow. In several placebo-controlled clinical studies with hundreds of patients suffering from open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, travoprost (1 to 4 pm daily) dose-dependently reduced lOP (by about 30% at 4 pm); it was shown equal or superior to latanoprost, another prostaglandin analog (5 pm daily) or the adrenergic ~-blocker timolol (500 pm bid). In addition, travoprost was safe and well tolerated with a low incidence of conjunctival hyperaemia.
UsesTravoprost is a selective FP prostaglandin receptor agonist used to treat glaucoma (1,2).
UsesSelective FP prostaglandin receptor agonist. Isopropyl ester of (+)-fluprostenol. Antiglaucoma
