- 21 April 2008
Background and purpose: A prostamide analogue, bimatoprost, has been shown to be effective in reducing intraocular pressure, but its precise mechanism of action remains unclear. Hence, to elucidate… Expand
Immobilization of glucose oxidase on chitosan–SiO2 gel
Abstract Novel porous gels of chitosan–SiO2 were prepared by coupling chitosan with tetramethoxy silicane through the sol–gel approach at ambient conditions. The characteristics of the gel were… Expand

PURPOSE
Despite structural similarity with prostaglandin F(2 alpha), the ocular hypotensive agent bimatoprost (Lumigan; Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) shows unique pharmacology in vitro and functional… Expand

PURPOSE
The goal of this study was to functionally compare prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-sensitive receptors in human primary cells involved in conventional outflow.
METHODS
The expression profile of… Expand
Identification of an antagonist that selectively blocks the activity of prostamides (prostaglandin‐ethanolamides) in the feline iris

- 1 February 2007
The prostamides (prostaglandin‐ethanolamides) and prostaglandin (PG) glyceryl esters are biosynthesized by COX‐2 from the respective endocannabinoids anandamide and 2‐arachidonyl glycerol. Agonist… Expand
Gene profiling involved in immature CD4+ T lymphocyte responsible for systemic lupus erythematosus.
We attempted to characterize the genes expression of CD4+ T lymphocytes for the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Genomewide gene expression profiles of CD4+ T cells, which were… Expand

PURPOSE
Bimatoprost is a widely used ocular hypotensive agent to treat glaucoma. It lowers intraocular pressure in humans by increasing both pressure-independent (uveoscleral) and pressure-dependent… Expand
