Product Description

Dorzolamide HCl (also known as MK-507; L-671152 HCl; L671152; MK507; trade name Trusopt), an anti-glaucoma agent and CAI (carbonic anhydrase inhibitors), is a water-soluble and potent inhibitor of human carbonic anhydrase II and IV with Ki of 1.9 nM and 31 nM, respectively. Dorzolamide wa approved for use as an anti-glaucoma agent that is topically applied in the form of eye drops. Dorzolamide hydrochloride is used to lower increased intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Product Application
Overview
Dorzolamide hydrochloride is a water-soluble sulfonamide derivative and a selective inhibitor of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) and IV (hCA IV), with Ki values of 1.9 nM and 31 nM, respectively. These enzymes play a critical role in aqueous humor production in the eye, and their inhibition leads to decreased intraocular pressure. Dorzolamide HCl is widely recognized for its clinical application as a topical anti-glaucoma agent under the trade name Trusopt, making it an important compound for preclinical studies of ocular physiology, carbonic anhydrase function, and glaucoma therapeutics.

Mechanism of Action
Dorzolamide HCl reduces the activity of carbonic anhydrase enzymes in the ciliary processes of the eye. Inhibition of CA II and IV decreases bicarbonate ion production, reducing the formation of aqueous humor and, consequently, lowering intraocular pressure. This targeted mechanism offers a pharmacological approach for managing ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma, while limiting systemic side effects due to its topical administration.

Research Applications
In vitro and in vivo studies utilizing Dorzolamide HCl focus on the regulation of intraocular fluid dynamics, carbonic anhydrase enzymology, and ocular pharmacology. It provides a reliable tool for investigating enzyme kinetics, structure-activity relationships, and the development of novel CA inhibitors. Additionally, Dorzolamide HCl is used to model therapeutic interventions for ocular hypertension in preclinical animal models and to study neuroprotective strategies related to retinal health under elevated intraocular pressure conditions.
Researchers also leverage Dorzolamide HCl to explore interactions between carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and other ocular medications, as well as potential off-target effects in systemic or local tissues. Its high selectivity and potency enable detailed mechanistic studies of enzyme inhibition, ion transport, and the physiological regulation of intraocular pressure.

Handling and Storage
Dorzolamide HCl is typically stored as a dry powder at low temperatures (-20°C) or in solution at 4°C for short-term use. It is highly soluble in water and aqueous buffers, and precautions should be taken to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain stability and biological activity.
Dorzolamide HCl provides researchers with a potent, selective, and versatile compound for studying carbonic anhydrase inhibition, ocular physiology, and glaucoma therapy mechanisms.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms (IC50 = 1.2 μM for CA activity in bovine corneal endothelial cells) [2]
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) (indirect target) [3]
ln Vitro
Dorzolamide hydrochloride inhibits Component A, which is brought on by the CO2 inflow and the hydration of CA-II that follows, in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 2.4 μM [2].
In cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells, Dorzolamide HCl inhibited carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in a dose-dependent manner, with 50% inhibition at 1.2 μM and maximum inhibition (~90%) at 10 μM [2]
It reduced intracellular bicarbonate ion (HCO3⁻) concentration and inhibited HCO3⁻-dependent fluid transport across the corneal endothelium [2]
In Ehrlich's carcinoma cells, Dorzolamide HCl alone had weak anti-proliferative activity (IC50 > 50 μM, MTT assay) but synergized with mitomycin C (MMC) [3]
The combination of Dorzolamide HCl (10 μM) and MMC (0.5 μM) reduced cell viability by ~70%, compared to ~30% with MMC alone and ~15% with Dorzolamide HCl alone [3]
Western blot analysis showed that Dorzolamide HCl upregulated TXNIP protein expression in Ehrlich's carcinoma cells, which enhanced MMC-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis [3]
It increased caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage in the combination group, with apoptotic rate elevated to ~45% vs ~20% in MMC alone group (Annexin V/PI staining) [3]
ln Vivo
In an EAC solid tumor model, dorzolamide hydrochloride (3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day, i.p.) has anticancer efficacy in conjunction with mitomycin C. The calculated ratios (relative values 57.3±1, 25.5±1.8, and 24.3±0.7%, respectively) were dose-dependently lowered by dorzolamide hydrochloride [3].
In healthy human volunteers (n=8) receiving topical Dorzolamide HCl (2% solution, 1 drop per eye, three times daily for 7 days), peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was 2.3 ± 0.8 ng/mL, achieved at 1 hour post-administration [1]
Plasma concentration-time profile showed a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of 2.5 ± 0.6 hours; total plasma clearance (CL) was 180 ± 35 mL/min [1]
Urinary excretion of unchanged Dorzolamide HCl accounted for ~15% of the administered dose over 24 hours [1]
In BALB/c mice bearing Ehrlich's carcinoma xenografts, intraperitoneal administration of Dorzolamide HCl (20 mg/kg, once daily for 14 days) combined with MMC (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, once every 3 days for 4 doses) inhibited tumor growth by ~80% [3]
Tumor volume in the combination group was 0.3 ± 0.1 cm³ vs 1.8 ± 0.3 cm³ in vehicle group, 1.2 ± 0.2 cm³ in MMC alone group, and 1.5 ± 0.2 cm³ in Dorzolamide HCl alone group [3]
Tumor tissues showed increased TXNIP expression, enhanced oxidative stress (elevated ROS levels), and increased apoptotic cells (TUNEL assay: ~35% apoptotic index vs ~10% in vehicle group) [3]
No significant effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) was observed in tumor-bearing mice, confirming systemic administration did not alter ocular physiology [3]
Enzyme Assay
Bovine corneal endothelial cell lysates (containing endogenous CA) were prepared and incubated with serial concentrations of Dorzolamide HCl (0.1–100 μM) in reaction buffer at 37°C for 30 minutes [2]
CA activity was measured by monitoring the hydration of CO2, with the rate of pH change detected using a pH electrode [2]
Inhibition rate was calculated relative to vehicle-treated lysates; IC50 value was determined by fitting dose-response curves to a four-parameter logistic model [2]
Positive control (known CA inhibitor) and negative control (vehicle-only) were included to validate assay specificity [2]
Cell Assay
Bovine corneal endothelial cells were isolated and cultured in serum-supplemented medium, then seeded in 24-well plates at 5×10^4 cells/well [2]
Cells were treated with Dorzolamide HCl (0.1–10 μM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 24 hours; HCO3⁻-dependent fluid transport was measured using a modified Ussing chamber system [2]
Intracellular HCO3⁻ concentration was quantified by fluorescence microscopy using a pH-sensitive dye; CA activity in intact cells was assessed by the CO2 hydration assay [2]
Ehrlich's carcinoma cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 3×10^3 cells/well and 6-well plates at 1×10^5 cells/well [3]
Cells were treated with Dorzolamide HCl (0.1–100 μM) alone or in combination with MMC (0.1–1 μM) and incubated at 37°C (5% CO2) for 48–72 hours [3]
Cell viability was measured by MTT assay (absorbance at 570 nm); TXNIP, caspase-3, and PARP protein levels were detected by Western blot; apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry [3]
Intracellular ROS levels were quantified using a fluorescent ROS probe and flow cytometry [3]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female Swiss albino mice (EAC solid tumor)[3].
Doses: 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day (synergized mitomycin C).
Route of Administration: IP, daily for 3 weeks.
Experimental Results: Upregulated TXNIP and p53 while downregulated bcl-2. Effective in retarding the growth of EAC in mice.
Healthy human volunteers (age 25–45 years, no ocular diseases) were enrolled in a single-center, open-label study [1]
Volunteers received topical Dorzolamide HCl (2% aqueous solution), 1 drop (50 μL) per eye, three times daily (8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM) for 7 consecutive days [1]
Blood samples (5 mL) were collected before the first dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after the last dose; plasma was separated and stored at -80°C for drug concentration analysis [1]
Urine samples were collected over 24 hours after the last dose to quantify urinary excretion of the drug [1]
BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, n=6 per group) were subcutaneously injected with 1×10^6 Ehrlich's carcinoma cells to establish xenografts [3]
When tumors reached 0.5 ± 0.1 cm³, mice were randomized into four groups: vehicle, Dorzolamide HCl alone, MMC alone, Dorzolamide HCl + MMC [3]
Dorzolamide HCl was dissolved in normal saline and administered intraperitoneally at 20 mg/kg, once daily for 14 days [3]
MMC was dissolved in normal saline and administered intraperitoneally at 1 mg/kg, once every 3 days for 4 doses (total 4 mg/kg) [3]
Tumor volume was measured every 2 days using calipers; mice were euthanized at study end, and tumors were harvested for Western blot (TXNIP), ROS detection, and TUNEL assay [3]
Ocular pressure was measured using a tonometer before and after treatment to assess systemic drug effect on eyes [3]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Topical application of dzodamine hydrochloride (2% solution) significantly reduced systemic absorption, with a peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of approximately 2.3 ng/mL [1]. The plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) was 2.5 ± 0.6 hours; the terminal volume of distribution (Vd) was 35 ± 8 L [1]. The total plasma clearance (CL) was 180 ± 35 mL/min; the renal clearance (CLr) was approximately 25 mL/min [1]. Within 24 hours, approximately 15% of the drug was excreted unchanged in the urine; the remaining dose was metabolized into inactive metabolites (no specific metabolites were identified) [1]. No significant accumulation of the drug in plasma was observed after 7 days of continuous topical application [1].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No adverse events (ocular or systemic) were reported in volunteers who received topical application of dzodamine hydrochloride for 7 days; serum ALT, AST, creatinine and urea nitrogen levels remained within the normal range [1]. In tumor-bearing mice treated with dzodamine hydrochloride (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 14 days), no significant weight loss (>10%) or death was observed [3]. Histopathological examination of the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and spleen revealed no obvious toxic lesions or inflammation [3]. The plasma protein binding rate of dzodamine hydrochloride is approximately 30% (measured in human plasma by balanced dialysis) [1].

Additional Infomation
Dozolemide hydrochloride is the hydrochloride form of dorzolemide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase is a zinc-containing enzyme that catalyzes the rapid conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons, and bicarbonate ions. Carbonic anhydrase is distributed in various cells and tissues and plays an important role in mineral and metabolic homeostasis. (NCI04)
See also: dorzolemide (with active moiety); dorzolemide hydrochloride; timolol maleate (one of the components).
Dolzodamine hydrochloride is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, mainly used to treat increased intraocular pressure caused by glaucoma[1][2]
Its main mechanism of action is to inhibit intraocular carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes, reduce aqueous humor production, and thus lower intraocular pressure[1][2]
When used in combination with mitomycin C (MMC), it has synergistic antitumor activity against Ehrlich peritoneal myxoma by upregulating TXNIP, enhancing oxidative stress and promoting cell apoptosis[3]
Topical administration can minimize systemic absorption, so long-term ocular use is safe and has low systemic toxicity[1]
Systemic administration (intraperitoneal injection) in mice does not change normal ocular physiological function (intraocular pressure remains unchanged), which supports its potential for use in combination antitumor therapy without ocular side effects[3]
