Featured New

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Taflpostamide, also known as Tafluprost ethyl amide, is derived from 17-phenyl trinor Prostaglandin F2α(17-phenyl trinor PGF2α). As a free acid, fafluprost is a very potent FP receptor agonist (Ki = 0.4 nM).6 Ethyl amides of PGs tend to increase lipid solubility, to improve uptake into tissues and to further lower the effective concentration. This product is supplied as a solution in ethanol (10mg/mL).

More Info
Biological target:
Tafluprost ethyl amide is a prostaglandin derivative. Tafluprost ethyl amide is capable of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and influencing eyelash growth. Tafluprost ethyl amide can be used in antiglaucoma ophthalmic compositions or cosmetics.
In vitro activity:
As shown in Figure 9, tafluprost potently blocked TASK-1 outward currents in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 186 ± 40 nM; Figures 9A,B). As the study reached 82% maximal inhibition, EC50 concentration corresponds to about 40% inhibition (not 50% inhibition). On the other hand, tafluprost also blocked NaV1.5 inward currents, although with much less potency than that observed at TASK-1 (estimated IC50 of about 76 µM Figure 9B). Reference: Front Pharmacol. 2022 Mar 18;13:855792. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35370665/
In vivo activity:
Conjunctival hyperemia, swelling and discharge in rabbit eye were all observed with both drug solutions and they appeared to peak at 30 minutes after the last instillation. By 5 hours, conjunctival hyperemia was essentially recovered with PF tafluprost opposite to PF latanoprost for which mild/moderate hyperemia was still widely seen.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
