Prostaglandin derivatives, parasympathomimetics, β blockers, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are the major drug classes that are used in the management of glaucoma.4,5 Prostaglandin derivatives, such as latanoprost and bimatoprost, increase the aqueous humor (AH) outflow through the uveoscleral pathway. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how prostaglandin derivatives reduce the IOP. Relaxation of the ciliary muscles, which causes the connective tissue-filled spaces in the trabecular meshwork to widen, is thought to be a factor that is involved in the initial drop in IOP.6 Prostaglandin analogs also induce the release of matrix metalloproteinase enzymes and cause the dissolution of types I and III collagen within the connective tissue-filled spaces.7 This process also leads to an increase in the AH outflow through the trabecular meshwork. Pilocarpine is a direct-acting cholinergic parasympathomimetic agent. It directly stimulates the muscarinic receptors and smooth muscles of the ...
A topical dose of LE-MPP (35 μL) was administered in the right eye of 5- to 6-month-old female Gottingen mini-pigs (Marshall Farms USA, Inc., North Rose, NY) approximately 6 hours apart (± 20 minutes), for 4 consecutive days. On the fifth day, animals were administered only two doses, approximately 6 hours apart (±20 minutes). A total of 18 doses were administered over the study duration. The dose was administered on the top of the cornea via a calibrated positive displacement micropipette and allowed to distribute across the eye. Each animal was restrained for approximately 1 minute to prevent rubbing of the eyes. Any observed irregularities or local irritation were recorded. Three animals/time point were euthanized with sodium pentobarbital and blood was collected via cardiac puncture at 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after the last dose on day 5. Blood (approximately 10 mL) was collected into tubes containing K2EDTA and samples were maintained on wet ice until centrifuged to obtain plasma. All plasma ...
Severe vision loss from vitreoretinal (VR) diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), intraocular lymphoma (IOL), uveitis and proliferative retinopathy (PVR ) accounts for most cases of irreversible ocular diseases world-wide. Existing therapeutic procedures for treatment of VR diseases are limited as: 1) systemic drug therapy administered through mouth or injected into the bloodstream, and topical administration such as eye drops, fail to penetrate the physiological barriers; 2) intravitreal injections can lead to uneven drug distribution causing increased toxicity for non-target ocular tissues; and 3) in comparison to lipophilic (not water soluble) drugs, sustained release devices for hydrophilic (water soluble) drugs for treating VR diseases are difficult to fabricate, as these hydrophilic drugs do not bind well with existing FDA approved lipophilic materials. At present, research is being conducted in developing a novel polymer-based biodegradable ...

The cement containing 2% and 5% indomethacin (IMC) powder hardened within 5 min after mixing with ammonium phosphate buffer. After setting, in vitro drug release from drug-loaded cement pellets in a simulated body fluid (SBF) at pH 7.25 and 37°C continued for two weeks. The hardened cement gradually formed low-crystallinity hydroxyapatite during the drug release test in SBF. An IMC-loaded cement device (2% and 5% drug) was implanted in the subcutaneous tissue …on the back of rats. The in vivo IMC release from the cement increased and attained maximum levels (Cmax of 2% and 5% drug-loaded cements was 0.27 and 3.37 μg/ml, respectively) at Tmax ...
A sympathomimetic with alpha-adrenergic activity. It produces peripheral vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure without stimulating effects on the central nervous system. Used as a decongestant in topical nasal preparations at low concentrations, associated with other drugs, in oral preparations to treat respiratory colds (Nice 2000, Kanfer 1993) and in eye drops at concentrations of up to 10% as a mydriatic. It is also used subcutaneously or intramuscularly in severe hypotensive states and associated with topical anesthetics. Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk. The low dose of phenylephrine in nasal, ophthalmic and topical preparations makes it unlikely to transfer into breastmilk in significant amounts. It is advised to press on the tear duct after administering eye drops in order to decrease absorption. Low plasma concentrations have been recorded at 10 minutes after ophthalmic administration and practically zero at one hour (AEMPS
Eye drops are the most acceptable dosage form by ocular route, which as has disadvantage of bioavailability. The anatomical and physiological constrains limited permeability of drug such as drug loss from the ocular surface by lachrymal drainage, blood-ocular barriers. A number of drug delivery system has been developed to improve the bioavailability and to prolong the residence time of drugs on the eye. Such as promising system for ocular drug delivery is a microemulsion. Microemulsions are clear, stable, isotropic mixtures of oil, water and surfactant, frequently in combination with a cosurfactant. This review gives an overview of the potential of microemulsions as delivery vehicles for eye. Both lipophilic and hydrophilic characteristics are present in microemulsions, so that the loaded drugs can diffuse passively as well get significantly partitioned in the variable lipophilic-hydrophilic corneal barrier.

purpose. To assess the impact of an episcleral exoplant on transscleral delivery.. methods. New Zealand White rabbits were given a periocular injection of sodium fluorescein (fluorescein, 376 Da) or an episcleral exoplant loaded with fluorescein. Two types of exoplants were tested: (1) a rigid polyethylene device, impermeable on one side and open to the sclera on the other, that contained compressed pellets of fluorescein and was sutured loosely (apposition group) or tightly to indent the sclera (indentation group) and (2) flexible refillable silicone exoplants also open to the sclera that were secured by suturing, to form a sealed episcleral chamber that was filled with a fluorescein solution. Ocular and plasma fluorophotometry were performed at several time points, and histology was performed to evaluate the effect of exoplants on the periocular tissue.. results. Within 20 minutes of a periocular injection of fluorescein, peak fluorescence was visible in the anterior chamber (AC) and at later ...
BOSTON - For nearly half a century, contact lenses have been proposed as a means of ocular drug delivery that may someday replace eye drops, but achieving controlled drug release has been a significant challenge. Researchers at Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Childrens Hospital, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are one step closer to an eye drop-free reality with the development of a drug-eluting contact lens designed for prolonged delivery of latanoprost, a common drug used for the treatment of glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. In general, eye drops are an inefficient method of drug delivery that has notoriously poor patient adherence. This contact lens design can potentially be used as a treatment for glaucoma and as a platform for other ocular drug delivery applications, said Joseph Ciolino, M.D, Mass. Eye and Ear cornea specialist and lead author of the paper. The contacts were designed with ...

The objective of the present study was to prepare controlled release formulation of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method using Eudragit RL 100 as a polymer. Different formulations were prepared by varying the ratios of drug and polymer and varying the ratios of organic and aqueous phase. The formulations were evaluated in terms of particle size, FTIR, drug entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release profile was examined. The anti bacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria were determined. In vivo studies were carried out by Draize test. The mean particle size for drug loaded formulations was found to be below 200 nm. The zeta potential remained in the range of positive values for all batches +10 mV to +40mV. The formulation possesses good antibiotic activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilus and Staphylococcus aureus microorganism and no eye irritation on in-vivo testing.

A sympathomimetic with alpha-adrenergic activity. It has a vasoconstrictor effect that reduces mucosal swelling and congestion. Topical nasal use (single dose) or ophthalmological (2-4 times a day). Since the last update we have not found published data in relation to breastfeeding. The small dose and the low plasma absorption of most topical nasal or ophthalmological preparations make transfer into breastmilk in significant amounts unlikely. Do not exceed the recommended dose and time periods in order to avoid undesirable side effects and the possible decrease in milk cited by some authors (Nice 2000) for other similar drugs, although not proven in practice. It is a product which has very little literature and almost none related to pharmacokinetics. As a nasal decongestant, it is discouraged by some authors (Nice 2000), with better known drugs from the same group being preferred (Anderson 2000). Ophthalmic administration is fully compatible with breastfeeding. Absorption can be
As a drug-related phenomenon, bronchospasm may present in an isolated fashion or as a component of anaphylaxis. Many drugs are associated with bronchospasm (Figure 2), but the prototypic medications of concern are beta-blockers, aspirin, and NSAIDs. Drug-induced bronchospasm is of particular concern in patients with asthma or pre-existing airways disease.. The use of beta-blockers in patients with asthma or COPD remains controversial. As beta-agonists are used to treat bronchospasm, it logically follows that beta-blockade may cause bronchospasm. When nonselective beta-blockers were introduced, numerous cases were reported of severe or fatal asthma exacerbations after oral, IV, or even ophthalmic administration.. These cases resulted in recommendations to avoid beta-blockade in patients with asthma or COPD. However, there is abundant evidence that beta-blockers have significant clinical benefit in coronary disease, hypertension, and heart failure; a general avoidance of this therapy in those with ...

The stacking of discotic molecules (hexakis(alkoxy)diquinoxalino[2,3-a:2,3-c]phenazines) in the columnar phase sandwiched between two flat glass substrates has been studied. The surface free energy of the substrates, measured by means of sessile drop technique, is found to have significant influence on the way that the discotic molecules anchor on the surface, and a steady thermal state of the system is crucial for a homogenous orientation of the discotic columns. On a surface of high free energy, the discotic molecules anchor with their disc-face toward the surface. A decrease in the surface free energy of the substrate causes the discotic columns to tilt away from the normal of the substrate.

Non-aqueous oil delivery system for ophthalmic drugs - The present invention relates to a delivery system for ophthalmic drugs, and more particularly, to a non aqueous oil delivery system. Low concentrations of ophthalmic drugs suspended in an oil vehicle delivery system are as therapeutically effective in man and animals as the corresponding higher concentrations of ophthalmic drugs that are commercially used in aqueous solutions. Eye drops that utilize this nonaqueous oil delivery system, when used in man, are comfortable to use and produce little ocular irritation, have a longer shelf-life, low systemic toxic potential, and only short term blurring of vision. Using this nonaqueous oil delivery system, a single drop of ophthalmic drug with a concentration that is 10 times less than the same drug used in commercially available aqueous eye drops is as effective as the commercially available aqueous ophthalmic eye drops that require many applications to be effective. In addition, utilizing the ...

Binary methanol/water mixture bubble point tests involving three samples of fine-mesh, stainless steel screens as porous liquid acquisition devices are presented in this article. Contact angles are measured as a function of methanol mass fraction using the Sessile Drop technique. Pretest predictions are based on a Langmuir isotherm fit. Predictions and data match for methanol mole fractions greater than 50% when pore diameters are based on pure liquid tests. For all three screens, bubble point is shown to be a maximum at a methanol mole fraction of 50%. Model and data are in disagreement for mole fractions less than 50%, which is attributed to variations between surface and bulk fluid properties. A critical Zisman surface tension value of 23.2 mN/m is estimated, below which contact angles can be assumed to be zero. Solid/vapor and solid/liquid interfacial tensions are also estimated using the equation of state analysis from Neumann and Good. Published 2013 American Institute of Chemical ...
Brinzolamide reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, which decreases pressure inside the eye. Brinzolamide ophthalmic (for the eyes) is used to treat certain types of glaucoma and other causes of high pressure inside the eye. Brinzolamide ophthalmic may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
This is especially important for a chronic condition such as glaucoma, for example. When it comes to treating glaucoma, healthcare providers have a broad array of increasingly invasive treatments for managing intraocular pressure (IOP), starting with simple topical drug formulations before moving up to stents and possibly even surgery. Therefore, if a patient has compliance and adherence issues with their initial topical treatments, it increases the probability that IOP will not be well-managed and that more drops would have to be prescribed to try to manage IOP before moving on to increasingly invasive, surgical treatments.. AcuStreams clear benefits position it for success in the topical ophthalmic market, in the treatment of conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye, uveitis, allergic disease and infections. Additionally, the regulatory pathway to approval for AcuStream combined with approved drugs can follow streamlined processes such as the US FDAs 505(b)(2) approval pathway. Because of its ...
