タフルプロスト

用途緑内障治療点眼薬

説明Glaucoma is second only to cataracts as a causative factor of blindness. By 2010, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people worldwide will be afflicted by glaucoma, so effective treatments should garner a large market. PG analogs have been widely used for lowering IOP by increasing uveoscleral outflow through agonism of the prostanoid FP receptor, and currently marketed versions include latanoprost, unoprostone isopropyl ester, bimatoprost, and travoprost. Compared to the carboxylic acid of latanaprost (Ki=4.7 nM), the carboxylic acid of tafluprost displayed a 10-fold greater affinity for the prostanoid FP receptor (Ki=0.4 nM). The synthesis of tafluprost begins with a Wittig condensation of the protected bicyclic lactone carbaldehyde with a dimethyl phosphonate ketone derivative.Compared to the carboxylic acid of latanaprost (Ki 4.7 nM), the carboxylic acid of tafluprost displayed a 10-fold greater affinity for the prostanoid FP receptor (Ki 0.4 nM). The synthesis of tafluprost begins with a Wittig condensation of the protected bicyclic lactone carbaldehyde with a dimethyl phosphonate ketone derivative. The bottom appendage is then completed by the fluorination of the ketone with morpholino-sulfur trifluoride. Hydrolysis of the benzoate ester protecting group liberates the hydroxy group, and reduction of the lactone is accomplished with aluminum hydride to generate the lactol. Condensation of this intermediate with the phosphonium salt of the acid side chain generates the free acid, or active ingredient, which is subsequently esterified with 2-iodopropane in the presence of DBU. .

使用Tafluprost is a novel prostanoid used in the treatment of glaucoma and is the first prostanoid to be released in a preservative free-formula.

使用Tafluprost is a new potent PGF2_ analogue for the treatment of glaucoma and a potent and selective FP receptor agonist. It lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) primarily by increasing uveoscleral outflow. Tafluprost has been shown to have a potent IOP-lowering effect on elevated IOP caused by open-angle glaucoma, or by diseases known as ocular hypertension.

定義ChEBI: Tafluprost is a prostaglandin Falpha that is prostaglandin F2alpha in which the carboxylic acid function has been converted to the corresponding isopropyl ester and the 3-hydroxy-1-octenyl side-chain is substituted by 3,3-difluoro-4-phenoxybut-1-enyl. Used for treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It has a role as a prostaglandin receptor agonist. It is a prostaglandins Falpha, an organofluorine compound and an isopropyl ester. It is functionally related to a prostaglandin F2alpha.
