DATASHEET 
EYEPROST
®
, EYE DROPS 
_(LATANOPROST 50 MICROGRAMS/ML) _
NAME OF THE DRUG 
latanoprost 

The chemical name of latanoprost is Isopropyl-(Z)-7[(1R,2R,3R,5S) 3,5-dihydroxy-2-[(3R)-
3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-1-pentyl]cyclopentyl]-5-heptenoate, according to IUPAC. 
DESCRIPTION 
The active ingredient in EYEPROST is latanoprost, a prostaglandin F
2α
 analogue. 
Latanoprost is a viscous oil which is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol, 
ethyl acetate, isopropanol, methanol, acetone and octanol, and very soluble in acetonitrile. 
Sixty four isomers of latanoprost are possible, however, for EYEPROST it is purified as a 
single isomer. 
EYEPROST Eye Drops is a sterile, isotonic solution containing 50 micrograms/mL of 
latanoprost in an aqueous buffer solution of pH 6.7.  
The excipients in EYEPROST are sodium chloride, monobasic sodium phosphate, dibasic 
sodium phosphate anhydrous, water for injections and benzalkonium chloride (0.20mg/mL) 
as a preservative agent. 
PHARMACOLOGY 
_PHARMACOKINETICS _
Latanoprost is an isopropyl ester pro drug which is inactive, but after hydrolysis to the acid 
of latanoprost, becomes biologically active. 
The  pro  drug  is  well  absorbed  through  the  cornea  and  all  drug  that  enters  the  aqueous 
humour is hydrolysed during the passage through the cornea. 
Studies  in  man  indicate  that  the  peak  concentration  in  the  aqueous  humour  is  reached 
about  two  hours  after  topical  administration.  After  topical  application  in  monkeys 
latanoprost  is  distributed  primarily  in  the  anterior  segment,  the  conjunctivae  and  the  eye 
lids. Only minute quantities of the drug reach the posterior segment. 
Following an ocular dose of latanoprost, 45% of latanop
