The Characteristics of Unoprostone
Unoprostone is an analog of PGF2α with a 13,14-dihydro-15-keto modification and a two-carbon addendum of the aliphatic lower ancillary chain. The isopropyl ester of unoprostone (Catalog No. 16681) (Rescula) has been accustomed for analytic use as an ocular hypotensive drug.Unoprostone (INN) is a prostaglandin analogue. Its isopropyl ester, unoprostone isopropyl, is marketed beneath the barter name Rescula (eyedrops, 0.15%) for the administration of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.Unoprostone is acclimated to amusement added burden in the eye acquired by open-angle glaucoma. It is aswell acclimated to amusement a action alleged ocular hypertension (hypertension of the eye).To appraise the accretion aftereffect of unoprostone and latanoprost in patients with primary accessible bend glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT)32 patients with POAG or OHT were randomised to accept either latanoprost already circadian or unoprostone alert circadian for 4 weeks. Afterwards 4 weeks, all patients accustomed both latanoprost and unoprostone for addition 4 weeks. The IOP was abstinent at 9 am and 5 message on the baseline, day 28, and day 56 visits, and at 9 am on day 14 and day 42 visits. The medications were accustomed to the patients in an accessible characterization fashion. The eyewitness was masked to the analysis given. The beggarly of the abstracts was calculated. Safety ambit were aswell recorded. The accretion aftereffect of the medications was adjourned by the abridgement in intraocular burden (IOP) if both medications were used, compared with if one medication was used.28 patients completed both analysis periods and had IOP abstracts accessible for evaluation. Afterwards 1 ages of treatment, latanoprost decidedly bargain IOP (mean by 6.1 (SEM 0.8) mm Hg (p<0.001) and unoprostone by 4.9 (1.0) mm Hg (p<0.001) from the baseline of 24.4 (0.6) mm Hg and 24.4 (1.1) mm Hg appropriately (p = 0.18). If latanoprost already circadian was accustomed to patients advised with unoprostone, there was added IOP blurred of 1.9 (0.6) mm Hg (p = 0.012). However, abacus unoprostone to those getting advised with latanoprost produced an IOP change of +0.4 (0.5) mm Hg (p = 0.42). Ocular affection and allegation were balmy and appropriately broadcast amid analysis groups, and afterwards accumulated therapy. Hyperaemia and ocular affliction were the a lot of frequently appear events. Over a third of patients accomplished ocular affliction with the aggregate of medications.
