Background: Glaucoma is a group of heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases with abnormal energy metabolism and imbalanced neuroinflammation in the retina. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, and associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, however, not known whether to be involved in glaucoma neuropathy and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: To establish the chronic ocular hypertension (COH) mice model.

Besides an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), advanced age is one of the most crucial risk factors for developing glaucoma. βB1-Connective Tissue Growth Factor (βB1-CTGF) high-pressure glaucoma mice were used in this study to assess whether glaucoma mice display more inflammatory and aging processes than age-matched controls. Therefore, 20-month-old βB1-CTGF and corresponding wildtype (WT) controls were examined.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma and the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness worldwide. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor, and prompt treatment to lower IOP can effectively slow the rate of vision loss due to glaucoma. Trabecular meshwork (TM) cells can maintain IOP homeostasis by correcting and adjusting the resistance to aqueous humor outflow in response to sustained pressure changes.

Since the safety and efficacy of therapeutic products are strongly related to their stability and purity, impurities including the unavoidable degradation products may affect the pharmacological effect. The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines Q3A requires the identification of process impurities and as well as degradation products in any drug substance to assess the inherent stability of the drug. The present work involves an ICH-guided degradation study for the Brinzolamide (BRZ), a topical ophthalmic drug which is generally used to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) during glaucoma.

Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, affects about 70 million people globally. Its treatment focuses on reducing intraocular pressure. Acetazolamide, a potent anti-glaucoma drug, is currently used only systemically due to low solubility and permeation, which cause severe side effects.
