Product Name:

Levobunolol

CAS Number:

47141-42-4

Indication:

For lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) and may be used in patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Mode of Action:

Levobunolol's mechanism of action in reducing IOP is not clearly defined, but is believed to be due to a reduction of the production of aqueous humor via blockage of endogenous catecholamine-stimulated increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) concentrations within the ciliary processes.

Pharmacodynamics:

Levobunolol is an ophthalmic beta-blocker, equally effective at _(1)- and _(2)-receptor sites. Levobunolol reduces both elevated and normal IOP in patients with or without glaucoma. In patients with elevated IOP, levobunolol reduces mean IOP by approximately 25-40% from baseline. As the drug is a nonselective &beta-adrenergic blocking agent, it can produce both systemic pulmonary and cardiovascular effects following topical application to the eye. These effects include adverse pulmonary effects (eg. bronchoconstriction, increased airway resistance), and a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate.

Metabolism:

Hepatic

Toxicity:

Bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm, and acute cardiac failure, LD₅₀=700 mg/kg (orally in rat).
