DR PRATIBHA THILAK
PHARMACOKINETICS OF TOPICAL
DRUGS
• a) drug kinetics in the conjunctival cul-de-sac,
• (b) corneal and transconjunctival-scleral
penetration, and
• (c) the distribution and rate of drug
elimination within the eye
DRUG KINETICS IN THE CONJUNCTIVAL
CUL-DE-SAC
• first mixes with the tears in the cul-de-sac
• depends on blink movements for mixing with
instilled drugs
• 7 to 9µl of tears and has a maximum capacity
of about 30 µl
• 25.1 to 56.4 µl with an average of 39 µl
• enters the lacrimal drainage system as a result
of the pumping action created by blink
movements
• DRUG LOSS FROM TEARS
• Decreases bioavailability
• Increases systemic toxicity
• nasolacrimal occlusion
CORNEAL AND TRANSCONJUNCTIVALSCLERAL PENETRATION
• cornea as lipid-water-lipid sandwich
• selective barrier
• differential solubility concept
• drugs tend to concentrate in various layers of
the cornea
• depot and a limiting factor for transfer of the
drug to the aqueous humor
• enzymes that are important in activating some
glaucoma drugs to their active form, such as
dipivefrin and bimatoprost
INTRAOCULAR FACTORS INFLUENCING
DRUG CONCENTRATIONS
• factors affecting the bioavailability of the drug
• intraocular circulation, local tissue binding, and
local tissue metabolism
• eliminated by diffusion into the vascular system
or escapes with the aqueous via the outflow
system
• bound to various ocular tissues
FORMULATIONS OF TOPICAL DRUGS
• vehicle, pH, concentration, and additives of
the formulation
VEHICLES
• influencing the rate of drug loss in the tears, the
precorneal tear film saturation, and the length of
time that the drug remains in contact with the
cornea
• methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol
• increasing tear viscosity, providing solution
homogeneity (uniform suspension of drug
particles in solution), and reducing surface
tension
• Ointments significantly increase drug
bioavailability by
• reducing loss in the tears,
• inhibiting dilution by the tears,
• providing a higher effective concentration of
the drug, and
• increasing tissue contact time
• polysaccharide gum formulations
• Liposomes
• small, homogenous unilamellar structures
composed of phospholipids and water
• Temperature-sensitive liposomes, which
release substances in the ocular vasculature
when exposed to heat produced by an argon
laser or microwave
solid materials
• release a drug at a sustained rate from a
location on the cornea or in the conjunctival
cul-de-sac
•
•
•
•
water-soluble polymer matrices
insoluble material
presoaked hydrophilic contact lenses
collagen corneal shields
pH, MOLECULAR WEIGHT, AND DROP
SIZE
• A greater degree of corneal penetration
occurs when a higher concentration of
nonionized (lipid soluble) drug exists in the
instilled drop
• Weak bases absorbed through the cornea at a
higher pH, while weak acids are absorbed
better at a lower pH
• molecular weight greater than 500 g/mole
have poor corneal absorption
• CONCENTRATION
• enhanced by increasing the concentration of a
drug up to a point
• decreases with increasing concentrations, and
the greater amount of drug lost in the lacrimal
drainage system increases the potential for
systemic side effects
ADDITIVES
• benzalkonium chloride and benzododecinium
bromide
• providing bacteriostatic activity,
• decreases the surface tension of nonpolar
drugs, allowing them to mix more readily with
the precorneal tear film, leading to enhanced
corneal absorption
PHARMACOGENETICS

humor dynamics ocular and systemic
conditions

LONG TERM EFFICACY
• the pressure responsiveness to timolol will
decrease with continued administration.
• Occurs in two phases, which Boger called
short-term escape and long-term drift.
Short term escape
• dramatic reduction in IOP with the initiation of timolol
therapy
• rises during the next few days and plateaus at a
maintenance level
•
• EXPLANATION-number of β-receptors in ocular tissues
increases during the first few days of timolol therapy
•
• In any case, it is good clinical practice to wait
approximately 1 month after initiating timolol to determine
the efficacy of therapy
LONG TERM DRIFT
• slow decline in pressure response to timolol, usually
beginning 3 months to 1 year after starting treatment
• some regain responsiveness to timolol after a washout
period
• a treatment strategy of pulsatile therapy, in which 0.5%
timolol is given for 6 months and then alternates with
dipivefrin for 2 months, was studied and shown to
minimize long-term drift compared with continuous
use of timolol

punctate keratopathy and corneal anesthesia
• serious side effect -ocular cicatricial pemphigoid
• chronic inflammation from the irritating effects of
the antiglaucoma medications and/or
preservatives

been reported with metipranolol is a
granulomatous anterior uveitis, characterized by
mutton-fat keratitic precipitates, flare and cells,
and IOP elevation

BRADYCARDIA
WEAKENS MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTILITY
ARRTHYTHMIAS
SYNCOPE
MORE WHEN CONCURRENTLY USED WITH
OTHER DRUGS SUCH AS QUINIDINE AND
CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS
RESPIRATORY EFFECTS
• CONTRACTION OF BRONCHIAL SMOOTH USCLE
• BRONCHOSPASM AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
• ESP IN ASTHAMATICS
• more common in young children, and caution
must be taken by nursing mothers, because high
levels of timolol were found in the milk of a
mother receiving topical timolol
•
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
• depression, anxiety, confusion, dysarthria,
hallucinations, lightheadedness, drowsiness,
weakness, fatigue, tranquilization, dissociative
behavior, disorientation, and emotional
lability
CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
• 0.5% topical timolol twice daily for 2 months,
without nasolacrimal occlusion, has been
shown to decrease plasma HDL cholesterol
levels, which increases the risk of coronary
artery disease
SYSTEMIC REACTIONS
• gastrointestinal distress (nausea, diarrhea, and
cramping)
•
• dermatologic disorders (maculopapular rash, alopecia,
and hives) and sexual impotence
•
• exacerbation of myasthenia gravis
•
• altered response to hypoglycemic episodes in diabetic
patients, which may mask the awareness of the attack
α ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR
ANTAGONISTS
• THYMOXAMINE
• MIOSIS BY INHIBITION OF DILATOR MUSCLE
without influencing the ciliary muscle-induced
facility of aqueous outflow
• does not cause shallowing of the anterior
chamber or ciliary spasm, it provides safe,
rapid reversal of the effects of an adrenergic
mydriatic drug.
• 0.1% to reverse mydriasis from phenylephrine
• role in management of angle-closure
glaucoma
• miosis despite pressure-induced ischemia of
the iris sphincter and not increasing the
posterior vector force of the iris, which might
aggravate the pupillary block
• thymoxamine produces miosis without
affecting the ciliary muscle-controlled facility
of outflow, it can break an angle-closure attack
• narrowing of the palpebral fissure in many
patients with eyelid retraction
• especially cases secondary to thyroid disease,
• value in the diagnosis of thyroid eye disease
and possibly in the medical treatment of
eyelid retraction (0.5%)
DAPIPRAZOLE
• reversal of mydriasis after an ocular
examination
• BUNAZOSIN
• lower IOP in normal subjects in single doses of
0.025% to 0.2% and was effective for 1 week in a
concentration of 0.1%
• increased uveoscleral outflow
• cause miosis, ptosis, and conjunctival hyperemia
PRAZOSIN
• topical administration of 0.001% to 0.1%
prazosin causes a dose-related lowering of IOP
by reducing aqueous humor formation
CORYNANTHINE
• Selective α1-adrenergic antagonist
• increase in uveoscleral outflow
LABETALOL
• combined α1 and α2-adrenergic blocking
agent
• poor ocular hypotensive effect in human eyes
