Description :
The isopropyl ester of (+)-fluprostenol has recently been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug for the treatment of glaucoma and is sold under the Alcon trade name Travoprost. Acting as a prodrug, (+)-Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is converted by esterase activity in the cornea to yield the corresponding free acid. (+)-Fluprostenol is also used in the veterinary field for the induction of estrus in livestock.The assay also detects the isopropyl ester form of (+)-fluprostenol, but with less sensitivity. Samples containing a mixture of the isopropyl ester and free acid should be purified and the compounds separated prior to analysis. The assay has been validated for use in aqueous humor samples.
