ACS 67

Latanoprost is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug for the treatment of glaucoma.1 Latanoprost is an isopropyl ester, a prodrug form which is converted to latanoprost (free acid) by endogenous esterase enzymes. The free acid form is 200 times more potent than latanoprost as an FP receptor ligand for the human recombinant FP receptor.2 ACS 67 is an analog of latanoprost (free acid) that contains a hydrogen sulfide releasing component conjugated to the latanoprost carboxyl group.3 In glaucomatous pigmented rabbits, ACS 67 reduced intra-ocular pressure (IOP) more rapidly and to a greater extent than latanoprost (15 versus 25.5 mm Hg at four hours) at a dose of 0.005% for each compound.3 ACS 67 also increased the levels of reduced glutathione and cGMP in the aqueous humor of glaucomatous pigmented rabbits better than latanoprost.3WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
