Pharmacokinetic evaluation of diquafosol tetrasodium for the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome

Abstract: Diquafosol tetrasodium provides a novel mode of action in dry eye syndrome, including SS, by stimulating the quantity and quality of tear fluid secretion via various mechanisms. In clinical trials, 3% Diquafosol tetrasodium ophthalmic solution demonstrated a good safety profile and exhibited efficacy with clinical improvement of the ocular surface in dry eye including SS.

“…They showed that topical administration of RvE1 significantly increased tear production and down regulates cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, and increased the density of superficial epithelial cells in the dry-eyed mouse model [Li et al, 2010]. Diquafosol is reported to be beneficial in tear film stabilization and repair of corneal epithelial damages [Yarmola et al, 2007;Bremond-Gignac et al, 2014;Byun et al, 2016]. Diquafosol sodium and rebamipide.…”

“…This drug is a P2Y2 purinergic receptor agonist that stimulates the receptors in ocular tissues and thus increases mucin (conjunctival goblet cells stimulation) and the aqueous portion of tear film (conjunctival epithelial cells stimulation) [Shigeyasu et al, 2015]. Diquafosol is reported to be beneficial in tear film stabilization and repair of corneal epithelial damages [Yarmola et al, 2007;Bremond-Gignac et al, 2014;Byun et al, 2016].…”

“…103 Eye irritation was reported as an adverse event in only 6.3% of the cases in a trial of Diquafosol and there were no serious adverse effects. 104 Diquafosol was applied topically because the P2Y 2 R occurs on the ocular surface, and systemic absorption was not detectable and without effect. The enzyme mainly responsible for hydrolysis of the drug in airway epithelial cells was found to be alkaline phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1), which is membrane bound and has a broad substrate specificity.…”
