Cellular Mechanisms in the Actions of Antiglaucoma Drugs

Abstract: There are several classes of drugs currently in use for the therapeutic management of the glaucomas.Although the ocular hypotenslve effects of these agents have been well characterized and described, little is known of their site of action and cellular mechanism. This review attempts to describe those cellular mechanisms that may be linked to the actions of several classes of antiglaucoma drugs. Special emphasis was placed on drug actions and 1) the adenylate cyclase system; 2) receptor-coupled phosphoinositid… Show more

“…However, levels of lysophosphatidycholines were several times higher in injured corneal AQH samples in comparison with control AQH samples, suggesting that lysoPLD is released from corneal tissues into the AQH [45]. In addition, phosphatidylinositol (PIs) are one of the known classes of phospholipids undergoing significant changes during the administration of PG analogs for IOP lowering [46, 47]. Recent studies have also shown a significant difference in phospholipid species between human POAG and control trabecular meshwork tissue [48], yet the differences in phospholipid profiles in POAG AQH and control AQH have yet to be studied in further detail.…”

“…24 PIs is one of the known classes of phospholipids that undergoes significant changes during the administration of PG analogs for IOP lowering. 25,26 Endogenous lipids in the anterior chamber may be involved in regulation of aqueous outflow, outflow facility, and IOP. The previous techniques, such as various forms of chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance, necessitated knowledge of several different chemistries due to different chemical behavior of different lipid species even within a class, and the requirement of large amounts (microgram quantities) of lipids for identification and characterization.…”
