Prostaglandins bimatoprost

Seven patients using different topical prostaglandin F2a analogues developed bilateral poliosis, which appeared at 1.5-6 months after the start of therapy (17). Four used latanoprost, two used bimatoprost, and one used travaprost...

Medications most commonly nsed to treat glaucoma are the nonselective 8-blockers, the prostaglandin analogs (latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost), brimonidine (an a2-agonist), and the fixed combination prodnct of timolol and dorzolamide. ...

The glaucoma drug bimatoprost is synthesized in two steps from another prostaglandin. Can you suggest a method for this conversion ... 

In a meta-analysis of all clinical trials with a direct comparison of prostaglandins (latanoprost, bimatoprost, and travoprost) in which adverse events were reported, there was a higher incidence of conjunctival hyperemia in patients who used bimatoprost 0.03%. [34 ]. 

Bimatoprost is a prostamide, a synthetic prostaglandin structural analogue used worldwide for glaucoma treatment. Bimatoprost uces lOP primarily by increasing aqueous humour outflow via the uveoscleral outflow pathway bimatoprost also appears to act via the trabecular meshwork.
