RESUMO
Travoprost is the isopropyl ester prodrug of a high affinity, selective FP prostaglandin full receptor agonist. In contrast to travoprost acid's high affinity and efficacy at the FP receptor, there is only sub-micromolar affinity for the DP, EP1, EP3, EP4, IP, and TP receptors. Travoprost produced a lower incidence of ocular irritation than PGF20 isopropyl ester at a dose of 1 microg in the New Zealand albino (NZA) rabbit. Topical ocular application of travoprost produced a marked miotic effect in cats following doses of 0.01, 0.03 and 0.1 microg. In the ocular hypertensive monkey, b.i.d. application of 0.1 and 0.3 microg of travoprost afforded peak reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) of 22.7% and 28.6%, respectively. Topical application of travoprost was well tolerated in rabbits, cats and monkeys, causing no ocular irritation or discomfort at doses up to 1 microg. Travoprost is a promising ocular hypotensive prostaglandin FP derivative that has the ocular hypotensive efficacy of PGF2alpha isopropyl ester but with less severe ocular side effects.

Methyl 3-deoxy-7,8-O-(1-methylethylidene)- 1-O-(phenylmethyl)-alpha-D-manno-2-octalopyranoside cyclic carbonate, (1), C20H26O8, Mr = 394.42, orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 10.667 (3), b = 10.7972 (14), c = 16.509 (5) A, V = 1901.4 (8) A3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.38 g cm-3, mu = 0.9960 cm-1, lambda(Mo K alpha) = 0.7107 A, F(000) = 840, T = 298 K, R = 0.0355 for 2248 reflections, Fo greater than or equal to 4[sigma (Fo)]. The X-ray structure was undertaken to confirm the stereochemistry of the substituents on the six-membered pyranose ring. The two rings are cis-fused with ring junction torsion angles of -18.7 (3) degrees for C2-C3-C8-C9 and -18.2 (2) degrees for O4-C3-C8-O7. The six-membered ring assumes a slightly distorted twist conformation while the fused five-membered ring is in the half-chair conformation. The isopropylidene moiety is in the envelope conformation.
