Metabolite of Travoprost
15-Keto Travoprost specifically targets the prostaglandin F (FP) receptor, which is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the ciliary body and trabecular meshwork of the eye. As a travoprost metabolite, it retains some degree of affinity for the FP receptor, though its potency is significantly reduced compared to the parent drug due to the oxidation of the 15-hydroxyl group to a ketone. Its primary use is not as a therapeutic agent but as a key biomarker and impurity marker for assessing travoprost stability, degradation, and metabolic profiling. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
15-ketotravoprost (80 µgr/mL) is applied to treat idiopathic hypotrichosis of the eyelashes [1].
In vitro, 15-Keto Travoprost exhibits significantly reduced FP receptor agonist activity compared to travoprost. In functional assays using FP receptor-expressing cells, 15-Keto Travoprost has been shown to have more than 100-fold lower potency in stimulating intracellular calcium mobilization and activating downstream signaling pathways than the parent drug. This metabolite is considered to be largely inactive in terms of prostaglandin-mediated pharmacological effects. It is used primarily as an analytical standard for method validation. |
| ln Vivo |
15-Keto Travoprost is not administered therapeutically in vivo; it is an inactive metabolite formed endogenously by the rapid oxidation of travoprost following ocular administration. In vivo, travoprost is metabolized primarily in the cornea and liver via 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), which converts the 15-hydroxyl group to a 15-keto group, yielding 15-keto travoprost. This metabolic inactivation is responsible for the rapid clearance of prostaglandin analogs from the systemic circulation, minimizing systemic side effects.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell-based assays, an HPLC-UV or LC-MS/MS method is used for the quantification of 15-Keto Travoprost as an analytical standard. A stock solution of 1 mg/mL is prepared in methanol or acetonitrile. Calibration standards (0.1-500 ng/mL) are prepared by serial dilution in mobile phase (water/acetonitrile, 50:50 with 0.1% formic acid). Samples are analyzed on a C18 reversed-phase column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 um) with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at 40degC. Detection is performed by UV absorbance at 210 nm or by tandem mass spectrometry in positive ion mode (MRM transition: 497 → 179).
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell metabolism studies, human corneal epithelial cells or hepatocytes are cultured in 6-well plates at 37degC. Cells are treated with 1 uM travoprost for 0-24 hours. At specified time points (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 h), culture medium is collected and processed by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. The concentration of 15-Keto Travoprost is quantified by LC-MS/MS as a measure of the metabolic activity of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH). This assay is used to evaluate the metabolic stability of prostaglandin analogs.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of travoprost are evaluated in New Zealand White rabbits (the standard model for ocular drug delivery). Travoprost ophthalmic solution (0.004%, 50 uL) is topically administered to the eye. At predetermined time points (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 h post-dose), aqueous humor samples are collected by anterior chamber paracentesis, and plasma samples are obtained via ear vein puncture. Samples are analyzed by LC-MS/MS for both travoprost and its metabolite, 15-Keto Travoprost. The metabolite is used as a marker of ocular and systemic drug disposition.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
15-Keto Travoprost is a major circulating metabolite of travoprost and serves as an important biomarker for the systemic exposure and clearance of the parent drug. As an analytical standard, it is used in method development, validation, and quality control (QC) applications for both the innovator product (Travatan Z) and generic formulations. The compound has low water solubility but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and acetonitrile. It has no therapeutic applications and is supplied strictly for research and analytical testing.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
As an analytical standard for pharmaceutical quality control, toxicology data specific to 15-Keto Travoprost is not required, as it is not administered as a therapeutic agent. The parent drug, travoprost, is well tolerated in clinical use, with the most common adverse events being ocular hyperemia, eye irritation, and changes in eyelash growth. The metabolite is considered to be non-toxic at the concentrations achieved following therapeutic dosing. No specific toxicity data is available for this compound, which is classified as a research-grade impurity standard.
