5-trans Latanoprost Acid is a synthetic prostaglandin analog primarily used in the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is known for its ability to increase the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. The compound features a carboxylic acid functional group, which contributes to its biological activity. Its structure includes a long hydrocarbon chain and a cyclopentane ring, characteristic of prostaglandin derivatives. The "5-trans" designation indicates the specific geometric configuration of the double bond in the cyclopentane ring, which is crucial for its pharmacological efficacy. Latanoprost Acid is typically administered as an ophthalmic solution and is well-tolerated, though it may cause side effects such as eye irritation or changes in iris pigmentation. The compound is also subject to extensive research for its potential applications beyond ophthalmology, including its effects on other tissues and systems in the body. Overall, 5-trans Latanoprost Acid exemplifies the therapeutic potential of prostaglandin analogs in managing eye diseases.

Latanoprost, a prodrug eye drop, turns into active acid inside the body and treats high eye pressure. Its trans isomer also likely reduces eye pressure.
