Background:

Latanoprost ethyl amide-d₄(Lat-NEt-d₄) contains four deuterium atoms at the 3, 3', 4, and 4' positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of Lat-NEt by GC-or LC-mass spectrometry. Lat-NEt is an F-series prostaglandin (PG) analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an N-ethyl amide. PG esters have been shown to have ocular hypotensive activity.¹PG N-ethyl amides were recently introduced as alternative PG ocular hypotensive prodrugs.²Although it has been claimed that PG ethyl amides are not converted to the free acidsin vivo,²studies in our laboratories have shown that bovine and human corneal tissue converts the N-ethyl amides of various PGs to the free acids with a conversion rate of about 2.5 µg/g corneal tissue/hr.³Lat-NEt would be expected to show the typical intraocular effects of Lat free acid, but with the much slower hydrolysis pharmacokinetics of the PG N-amides.
