Dorzolamide Hydrochloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Dorzolamide hydrochloride was introduced in the U.S.A. as eye drops for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Dorzolamide is a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that, on topical administration, lowers intraocular pressure (IOP). In a clinical study in patients with bilateral primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, dorzolamide (0.7-2%) was found to significantly lower IOP throughout the day. Dorzolamide has been shown to be effective as a single therapy or in combination with β-blockers.

Description

Dorzolamide (hydrochloride) (Item No. 26303) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor diuretic. Diuretics have been used in sports doping to reduce weight or anabolic androgenic steroid-induced water retention, or as masking agents. This product is intended for use in analytical forensic applications. This product is also available as a general research tool .

Veterinary Drugs and Treatments

Dorzolamide is often used in the contralateral eye of a dog with primary glaucoma to prevent development of bilateral disease. It is also an excellent agent to consider for most secondary glaucomas in dogs and cats because it has no effect on pupil size. Like the related oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (dichlorphenamide or Daranide?, methazolamide or Neptazane?), dorzolamide decreases aqueous humor production by the ciliary body epithelium by altering pH and affecting the H⁺/Na⁺ active transport exchange mechanism. Oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors cause numerous systemic side effects such as metabolic acidosis and panting, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia and others, all of which can be avoided with topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
