Brinzolamide 99%

Crystalline SolidBrinzolamide was introduced as Azopt in the US for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or openangle glaucoma. Brinzolamide is a potent inhibitor of human carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ lowering IOP after topical administration . It is the second of this class after dorzolamide (1995). Brinzolamide can be prepared in an eight-step sequence from 3-acetyl-2,5-dichlorothiophene. In patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular

Brinzolamide is a sulfonamide and a thienothiazine. It has a role as an antiglaucoma drug and an EC 4.2.1.1 (carbonic anhydrase) inhibitor.|Brinzolamide is a highly specific, non-competitive, reversible carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme found in many tissues of the body including the eye. It catalyzes the reversible reaction involving the hydration of carbon dioxide and the dehydration of carbonic acid. In humans, carbonic anhydrase exists as a number of isoenzymes, the most active being carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II). Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humor secretion, presumably by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in sodium and fluid transport. The result is a reduction in intraocular pressure. Brinzolamide is indicated in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.|Brinzolamide is a Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of brinzolamide is as a Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor.|Brinzolamide is a sulfonamide and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor with specific affinity for carbonic anhydrase II. Following topical ocular administration, brinzolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase II, an enzyme that is responsible for the movement of sodium and fluid transport in the eye. This inhibition leads to a decrease in aqueous humor secretion, probably by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions, and results in a reduction in intraocular pressure. Brinzolamide is used to treat increased pressure in the eye caused by open-angle glaucoma.
