JV-GL1 is an efficacious, potent, and long-acting antiglaucoma agent, according to studies in ocular normotensive and hypertensive monkeys. As an obligatory step in the drug development process, studies with exaggerated doses and an accelerated dosing schedule for JV-GL1 were performed in a second species (dog). Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by pneumatonometry in conscious Beagle dogs, which remained conscious throughout the study and gently restrained by hand.

Purpose: The purpose of the current work was to develop a physiologically relevant, in vitro human three-dimensional (3D) corneal epithelial tissue model for use in ophthalmic drug development.
Methods: Normal human corneal epithelial cells were cultured at the air-liquid interface to produce the 3D corneal tissue model. Corneal barrier was determined by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER).

Prostaglandins are approved by the European Glaucoma Society guidelines as first-line treatment for glaucoma. This review focuses on latanoprost, an ester prodrug of prostaglandin (PG) F2α, which was the first of the currently available topical PGF2α analogs to be launched for glaucoma or ocular hypertension and which still accounts for the majority of prescriptions. It is better absorbed than the parent compound through the cornea, and peak concentration of the active drug is in the aqueous humor 1-2 hours after topical dosing (15-30 ng/mL).

Purpose: To compare the aqueous humor (AH) and iris-ciliary body (ICB) concentration of bimatoprost in rabbit eyes treated with ISV-215 (0.03% bimatoprost formulated in DuraSite) with the marketed product bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution.

Purpose: This study investigated the ocular distribution of bimatoprost, latanoprost, and their acid hydrolysis products in the aqueous humor, cornea, sclera, iris, and ciliary body of patients treated with a single topical dose of 0.03% bimatoprost or 0.005% latanoprost for understanding concentration-activity relationships.
