Product Description
Bimatoprost grenod (NCX 470) is a second generation NO donor prostaglandin analog. Bimatoprost grenod effectively reduces intraocular pressure in animal models of ocular hypertension and glaucoma by activating diprost-mediated uveal efflux and NO-mediated conventional efflux. Bimatoprost grenod may be used in studies investigating vascular hypertension and glaucoma. Yes Yes
Bimatoprost grenod (NCX 470) is a second-generation nitric oxide (NO)-donating prostaglandin analog. It combines the properties of bimatoprost, a known prostaglandin analog that lowers intraocular pressure (IOP), with a nitric oxide-donating moiety. This dual-action design is aimed at improving the management of ocular hypertension and glaucoma.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NCX 470 is a prostaglandin analog that primarily targets the FP prostaglandin receptor. Additionally, through its NO-donating function, it releases nitric oxide, which acts as a signaling molecule to relax the trabecular meshwork. This dual mechanism simultaneously activates bimatoprost-mediated uveoscleral outflow and NO-mediated conventional outflow pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that NCX 470 is an agonist at prostaglandin receptors, primarily FP. The compound does not have inherent binding activity on its own, and its biological effects are mediated by its active metabolites. The NO component is also confirmed to be pharmacologically active in relaxing smooth muscle cells.
ln Vivo
In well-researched animal models of glaucoma and ocular hypertension, bimatoprost grenod has superior intraocular pressure-lowering effectiveness than equimolar dosages of bimatoprost[1]. Bimatoprost grenod (0.14% 30 μL; once-dose instillation) lowers intraocular pressure in rabbits with transitory ocular hypertension[2]. At eighteen hours after dosage, bimatoprost grenod (0.042% 30 μL; instillation; once) is more efficacious than equimolar bimatoprost in normotensive dogs (ONT-dogs) and cynomolgus monkeys with laser-induced ocular hypertension (OHT-monkeys)[2].
NCX 470 effectively reduces intraocular pressure in animal models of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. This is achieved by activating both the bimatoprost-mediated uveoscleral outflow and the NO-mediated conventional outflow pathways. The dual-action mechanism has been shown to provide enhanced IOP lowering compared to either pathway alone.
Enzyme Assay
Specific protocols for assessing NO donation involve incubating NCX 470 with a reducing agent (e.g., L-cysteine) in a buffer. The liberated NO is then measured using a chemiluminescence NO analyzer or the Griess reagent system for nitrite quantification. For FP receptor binding, standard radioligand displacement assays are used. Membranes from cells expressing human recombinant FP receptors are incubated with [3H]-PGF2alpha and varying concentrations of NCX 470 or its active metabolites.
Cell Assay
In an in vitro assay, primary human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells are cultured in a suitable medium. Following serum starvation, the cells are treated with NCX 470 (ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 uM). The cellular effects are measured by quantifying intracellular cGMP levels (as a direct biomarker of NO activity) using an ELISA kit. Alternatively, receptor activation can be assessed by detecting the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins like ERK1/2 via Western blot.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: New Zealand white rabbits with 0.1 mL 5% sodium chloride solution injection[2]
Doses: 0.14%
Route of Administration: Instillation; 0.14% 30 μL; once
Experimental Results: Dramatically blunted the IOP rise throughout the experimental period in transiently ocular hypertensive New Zealand white rabbits.
In a standard in vivo protocol, ocular hypertension is induced in New Zealand White rabbits via intracameral injection of alpha-chymotrypsin or laser photocoagulation of the trabecular meshwork. Once elevated IOP is stable, a single topical administration (approximately 30 microL) of NCX 470 is applied to the eye at varying concentrations (0.004% to 0.1%). IOP is measured using a calibrated tonometer at baseline and at multiple time points (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours) post-instillation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a topical ocular agent, NCX 470 is designed for local delivery. Systemic absorption is expected to be minimal following eye drop instillation, which reduces the risk of systemic side effects. The compound acts as a prodrug, requiring activation by endogenous esterases in the eye to release the active bimatoprost and generate NO. The NO component has a very short local half-life.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As it is administered topically, systemic toxicity for NCX 470 is expected to be low. Local ocular toxicity assessments from analog studies may include mild conjunctival hyperemia, increase in iris pigmentation, and potential for eyelash growth (trichiasis). Systemic toxicity studies in animal models (rats and dogs) for similar compounds have shown a sufficient safety margin for ophthalmic indications, with no significant carcinogenicity or genotoxicity observed.

NCX 470 has been granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. FDA. As of now, NCX 470 is in late-stage clinical development (Phase III clinical trials) for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Its mechanism of action aims to provide superior IOP reduction by targeting both the conventional and uveoscleral outflow pathways.
