Usage

Description

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analog that functions as a selective FP receptor agonist. It is the isopropyl ester of 17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro prostaglandin F2α (17-phenyl-13,14-dihydro PGF2α) and is used as a prodrug, which is hydrolyzed into its active free acid form in the cornea and plasma. This medication is a colorless oil and is available under the brand name Xalatan.
Used in Ophthalmology:
Latanoprost is used as an anti-glaucoma drug for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma or the topical treatment of ocular hypertension. It is effective in reducing intraocular pressure with minimal side effects and is suitable for patients with difficult-to-treat and intolerant conditions.
Used in Combination Therapy:
Latanoprost is also used in combination with the β-adrenergic blocking agent, timolol, to enhance intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering by decreasing the production of aqueous humor. This combination therapy offers a more comprehensive approach to managing glaucoma.
Used in the Treatment of Various Eye Conditions:
Latanoprost is used as a treatment for pigment dispersion glaucoma, angle recession, chronic angle-closure glaucoma, uveitis, and quiescent exfoliation syndrome. However, it is not effective for treating uveitis in its active stage.
Used as a Prostaglandin Analog:
Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog that increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral outflow pathway, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure. It is effective in a single daily dosage and is well-tolerated with no detectable conjunctival hyperemia.
Used in Antifungal Treatments:
Latanoprost is used as an antifungal polyene macrolide that is active in the cell membrane soluble 5% Acetic acid, providing an additional application in the field of antifungal treatments.

a prostaglandin F2a analogue

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2a analogue.It is a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist that is believed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. It is used to treat certain kinds of glaucoma(open-angle glaucoma ocular hypertension). It is also used to treat a condition called hypertension of the eye. Latanoprost is used to increase the natural outflow of fluid (aqueous humor) from inside the eye into the bloodstream. It appears to work by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye. This lowers the pressure in the eye. Latanoprost may make your eyesight blurred for a short length of time. if this happens do not drive or operate machine or use any tools until your eye sight becomes clear again.

Latanoprost ophthalmic solution

Latanoprost ophthalmic solution is a topical medication used for controlling the progression of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, by reducing intraocular pressure. It is a prostaglandin analogue that works by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes. It is also known by the brand name of Xalatan manufactured by Pfizer.For the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Latanoprost ophthalmic solution contain a preservative called benzalkonium chloride which can be absorbed onto the surface of contact lenses and may discolour soft contact lenses.

Side effects

Between 6% and 10% (between 1 in 20 and 1 in 6) of persons receiving latanoprost for 6 months report at least one side effect localized to the eyes. These side effects included Temporary blurred vision after application, eyelid redness, permanently darken eyelashes,Swelling or erosions of the cornea,a sensation of a foreign body, discoloration of the iris, itching, a temporary burning sensation during use, and stinging. Discoloration of the iris begins happens slowly. It is caused by an increase in the amount of brown pigment in the iris and may be permanent. Other side effects which have been reported less frequently include dryness of the eyes, increased tearing, herpes simplex keratitis, eye pain and other eye-related discomfort.

Molecular Structure

Latanoprost contains a pentene ring which has α-and ω-carbon chain with the ester of the α-carbon chain termini in the structure can facilitate its penetration through the cornea. At the corneal stroma, latanoprost can be decomposed into free acid which can bind to the FP receptor as the active part. It has hydroxyl group in C15, and has a short ω-chain and a benzene ring which are important for the efficacy of the drug.

Adverse reactions and side effects

Topical administration can result in mild to moderate conjunctival or scleral hyperemia. Occasionally slight redness on eyes can be observed. During the treatment of the first 2-3 days, the eyes will have a slight foreign body sensation; a small number of patients may get rash.

Production method

First dissolve the compound (Ⅰ) in toluene, cool to 18 °C, further add dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) and phosphoric acid, followed by addition of (4-phenyl-3-oxobutyl) triphenylphosphonium iodide with condensation being converted to compound (II) which is further converted to the product through the six-step reaction.

Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing process for Latanoprost includes these steps as follows: Synthesis of [3aR-[3aα,4α(E),5β,6aα]]-5-(benzoyloxy) hexahydro-4-(3-oxo-5-phenyl-1-pentenyl)-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one, synthesis of [3aR-[3aα,4a(1E,3S),5β,6aα]]-5-(benzoyloxy)hexahydro- 4-(3 -hydroxy-5-phenyl-1-pentenyl)-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one, synthesis of [3aR-[3aα,4a(1E,3S),5β,6aα]]- 5-(benzoyloxy)hexahydro-4-(3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-1-pentyl)-2Hcyclopenta[b]furan-2-one, synthesis of 2-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-3,5-dihydroxy-2-[(3R)-3-hydroxy-5- phenylpentyl]cyclopentyl]acetic acid, synthesis of [3aR-[3aα,4α(R),5β,6aα]]-hexahydro-5-hydroxy-4-(3-hydroxy-5- phenylpentyl)-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one, synthesis of [3aR-[3aα,4α(R),5β,6aα]]- hexahydro-5-hydroxy-4-(3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentyl)-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one;synthesis of (3aR,4R,5R,6aS)-5- (1-ethoxyethoxy)-4-[(3R)-3-(1-ethoxyethoxy)-5-phenylpentyl]hexahydro-2Hcyclopenta[b]furan-2-ol;synthesis of 7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-3-(1-ethoxyethoxy)-5- hydroxy-2-[(3R)-3-(1-ethoxyethoxy)-5- phenylpentyl]cyclopentyl-5-heptenoic acid; synthesis of (5Z)-7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-3,5-dihydroxy-2-[(3R)-3-hydroxy-5- phenylpentyl]cyclopentyl]-5-heptenoic acid (Latanoprost Acid); At last, Latanoprost acid is dissolved in DMF (10 mL) and added to a slurry of cesium carbonate (1.6 g) in DMF (10 mL). 2-Iodopropane (0.49 mL) is added and the slurry is heated to 45°C for about 6 hours. When the reaction is complete, MTBE (40 mL) and water (50 mL) are added and the mixture is stirred for 15 min. The phases are separated and the aqueous phase is washed with MTBE (20 mL). The organic phases are combined and concentrated. The concentrate is chromatographed (silica gel) eluting with MTBE. The appropriate fractions are pooled and concentrated to give (5Z)-(9CI)-7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-3,5- Dihydroxy-2-[(3R)-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentyl ]cyclopentyl]-5-heptenoic acid 1- methylethyl ester (Latanoprost).

Asymmetric Synthesis of Corey Lactone and Latanoprost

Corey lactone was synthesized in a single pot within 152 minutes in a 50 % overall yield via pot and time economical manner. Latanoprost, an antiglaucoma blockbuster drug, was also synthesized via seven pot reaction with five purifications in a 25 % total yield. One of the key reactions is asymmetric domino Michael/Michael reaction, formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction, of 3-(dimethylphenylsilyl)propenal and ethyl 4-oxo-2-pentenoate, catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether, which constructed the core substituted cyclopentanone derivative with nearly optically pure form.

NOVEL LATANOPROST INTERMEDIATE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING LATANOPROST WITH HIGH PURITY

The present invention provides a novel latanoprost intermediate represented by chemical formula 1. In chemical formula 1, R is hydrogen or C_1-C_4 alkyl, P is hydrogen or a hydroxy protecting group, at least one P is a hydroxy protecting group. The hydroxy protecting group is represented by chemical formula 2. In chemical formula 2, R^1 is each independently -NO_2 or C_6-C_18 aryl, and R^1 is fused to a phenyl ring to form a C_10-C_18 aromatic ring.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2021

An improved synthesis of latanoprost involving effective control on 15(S) diastereomer

An improved process for the synthesis of latanoprost having excellent optical purity (de 99.9%, [α]D20 = +35.37° (c = 0.90, acetonitrile)) without use of preparative HPLC is described. This process involves effective purification of hydroxyl intermediate (5A) through solvent crystallization followed by inhibition of inversion of the chiral center at C-15 position. This was possible due to judicious use of diol intermediate (6) for double bond reduction prior to hydroxyl protection.
