Function of Latanoprost
Latanoprost ophthalmic solution is a medication administered into the eyes to control the progression of glaucoma or ocular hypertension by reducing intraocular pressure. It is a prostaglandin analogue (more specifically an analogue of prostaglandin F2α) that lowers the pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes through the uvealsclearal tract. Latanoprost is an isopropyl ester prodrug, meaning it is inactive until it is hydrolyzed by esterases in the cornea to the biologically active acid.
Application of Latanoprost
It is used to treat certain kinds of glaucoma(open-angle glaucoma ocular hypertension). It is also used to treat a condition called hypertension of the eye. Latanoprost is used to increase the natural outflow of fluid (aqueous humor) from inside the eye into the bloodstream. It appears to work by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye. This lowers the pressure in the eye.
