Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Travoprost is the Alcon trade name for fluprostenol isopropyl ester, an F-series prostaglandin analog which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug.1 Fluprostenol isopropyl ester is a prodrug which is converted by esterase enzymatic activity in the cornea to yield the corresponding free acid, fluprostenol.2 5-trans Fluprostenol is an impurity that is routinely found in bulk preparations of fluprostenol in amounts ranging from 1-3%. This impurity occurs in the finished prodrug Travoprost in similar amounts. The pharmacology of 5-trans fluprostenol has not been studied extensively to date. | [References]
