Overview
11 DESCRIPTION Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002%, contains the prodrug form of the active omidenepag, a relatively selective prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist with ocular hypotensive activity. Omidenepag isopropyl is a white to light brown crystal or crystalline powder and practically insoluble in water.
Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Omidenepag is a relatively selective EP2 receptor agonist which decreases intraocular pressure (IOP). The exact mechanism of action is unknown at this time. Elevated IOP represents a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption Omlonti is absorbed through the cornea where prodrug omidenepag isopropyl is hydrolyzed to become biologically active metabolite, omidenepag. After once daily ocular administration of one drop of omidenepag isopropyl 0.0025% eye drops to both eyes in humans for 7 days, plasma concentrations of omidenepag reached C max at 10-15 minutes.
