4.2 Drug Indication

Tafluprost is indicated for reducing elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.


FDA Label


Treatment of glaucoma


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Tafluprost is a novel prostaglandin analog with a high affinity for the fluoroprostaglandin (FP) receptor PGF2. Tafluprost has an affinity for the FP receptor that is approximately 12 times higher than that of the carboxylic acid of latanoprost, but with almost no potential to bind to other receptors.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Following instillation, tafluprost is absorbed through the cornea and is hydrolyzed to the biologically active acid metabolite, tafluprost acid. Tafluprost is an ester which makes the drug lipophillic enough to be quickly absorbed through. When administered to the eye, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of tafluprost acid in healthy subjects was 26 pg/mL and 10 minutes respectively. a AUC, tafluprost acid = 394 pg*min/mL - 432 pg*min/mL.


Route of Elimination

Mean plasma tafluprost acid concentrations were below the limit of quantification of the bioanalytical assay (10 pg/mL) at 30 minutes following topical ocular administration of tafluprost 0.0015% ophthalmic solution. In male rats, it was observed that tafluprost was excreted into the feces.


Volume of Distribution

The highest concentration of tafluprost acid was found in the cornea and conjunctiva.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Tafluprost is an ester prodrug which is rapidly hydrolyzed by corneal esterases to form its biologically active acid metabolite. Tafluprost acid is further metabolized via fatty acid -oxidation and phase II conjugation into 1,2,3,4-tetranor acid.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Tafluprost acid is a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist that is believed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Studies in animals and humans suggest that the main mechanism of action is increased uveoscleral outflow.
