Tafluprost (free acid)

Tafluprost (free acid) is an FP receptor agonist (Ki = 4 nM for the human receptor), a derivative of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha, Cay-16010, Cay-16020), and an active metabolite of the prodrug tafluprost (Cay-10005440). It is formed from tafluprost by hydrolysis and is selective for the FP receptor over the dopamine receptor and PGE2 receptor subtypes EP1 and EP2, as well as a panel of 32 neurological receptors and transporters, at 1 µM. Tafluprost (free acid) induces constriction in isolated cat iris sphincters (EC50 = 0.6 nM). It also increases the proliferation and migration of, capillary formation by, and COX-2 levels in, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at a concentration of 100 µM.Formal Name: (5Z)-7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-2-[(1E)-3,3-difluoro-4-phenoxy-1-buten-1-yl]-3,5-dihydroxycyclopentyl]-5-heptenoic acid.
