:15S-Travoprost
Description:
15S-Travoprost is a synthetic prostaglandin analog primarily used in ophthalmology for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It functions by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. The substance is characterized by its ability to mimic the action of naturally occurring prostaglandins, which play a crucial role in various physiological processes. 15S-Travoprost is typically administered as an eye drop solution and is known for its potency and efficacy in lowering intraocular pressure. Its chemical structure includes a long-chain fatty acid moiety, which contributes to its biological activity. The compound is generally well-tolerated, although some patients may experience side effects such as eye irritation or changes in iris pigmentation. As with other medications, it is essential to follow prescribed dosages and consult healthcare professionals regarding its use, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions or those taking other medications. Overall, 15S-Travoprost represents a significant advancement in the management of glaucoma and related conditions.

15S-Travoprost
CAS:Travoprost is a potent, selective agonist of the prostanoid receptor FP. It is used as a research tool to study the function of the prostaglandin receptors in different tissues and cells. Travoprost binds to the prostanoid receptor FP with high affinity and specificity. This binding stimulates cell membrane-bound G-proteins, leading to an increase in intracellular cAMP levels. This is followed by activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylation of proteins that regulate ion channel activity. Travoprost has been shown to activate ion channels and stimulate ligand-gated ion channels such as NMDA receptors, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, serotonin 5HT3 receptors, and metabotropic glutamate mGlu2/3 receptors.Formula:C26H35F3O6Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:500.55 g/mol
