About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Ocular Pharmacology" by Dr. Ajai Agrawal.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about ocular pharmacology, the study of drugs used to treat various eye diseases and conditions. It involves the use of pharmacological agents to diagnose, prevent, and treat ocular diseases and disorders. The drugs used in ocular pharmacology can be administered topically, orally, or intravenously, and can target various structures of the eye such as the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve.

Some of the common ocular conditions that can be treated with pharmacological agents include glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, allergies, infections, and inflammation. The drugs used to treat these conditions may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, immunosuppressants, antihistamines, and prostaglandin analogues.

Ocular pharmacology also involves the study of ocular drug delivery systems, which aim to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of drugs administered to the eye. These delivery systems may include eye drops, ointments, gels, implants, and injections.

Overall, ocular pharmacology plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health and treating various ocular diseases and conditions.

Pharmacodynamics It is the biological and therapeutic effect of the drug (mechanism of action) Most drugs act by binding to regulatory macromolecules, usually neurotransmitters or hormone receptors or enzymes If the drug is working at the receptor level, it can be agonist or antagonist If the drug is working at the enzyme level, it can be activator or inhibitor 7
Slide 8-

Pharmacokinetics It is the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug A drug can be delivered to ocular tissue as: Locally: Eye drop Ointment Periocular injection Intraocular injection Systemically: Orally IV 8
Slide 9-

Pharmacokinetics of Ocular Drugs Classical pharmacokinetic theory based on systemically administered drugs does not fully apply to all ophthalmic drugs Topical route – most commonly used 9
Slide 10-

Absorption Rate & extent of absorption of topically instilled drugs depends upon – “Drug penetration into the eye is approximately linearly related to its concentration in the tear film.” Time the drug remains in the cul-de-sac & precorneal tear film Elimination by nasolacrimal drainage Drug binding to tear proteins Drug metabolism by tear & tissue proteins Diffusion across cornea & conjunctiva 10
Slide 11-

Distribution Transcorneal absorption Accumulation in aqueous humor Distribution to intraocular structures Trabecular meshwork pathway Distribution to systemic circulation 11
Slide 12-

Distribution Melanin binding of certain drugs – - Eg: 1. Mydriatic effect of alpha adrenergic agonists slower in onset - darkly pigmented irides compared to those with lightly pigmented irides 2. Atropine’s mydriatic effect – long lasting in non-albino rabbits than in albino rabbits 3. Accumulation of chloroquine in retinal pigment epithelium – Bull’s eye maculopathy 12
Slide 13-

Metabolism Enzymatic biotransformation of ocular drugs- significant Esterases – particular interest Eg: Development of prodrugs for enhanced ocular permeability Dipivefrin hydrochloride Latanoprost 13

Drug Delivery in Eyes Topical Periocular Intraocular Systemic drop ointment gel Soft contact lens Subconjunctival Subtenon Peribulbar Retrobulbar Intracameral Intravitreal Oral intravenous Intramuscular
Slide 16-

Ocular Routes of Drug Administration 16
Slide 17-

Factors influencing local drug penetration into ocular tissue Drug concentration and solubility: higher concentration -- better penetration e.g pilocarpine 1-4% but limited by reflex tearing Viscosity: addition of methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol increases drug penetration by increasing contact time with cornea and altering corneal epithelium Lipid solubility: higher lipid solubility- more penetration 17
Slide 18-

Factors influencing local drug penetration into ocular tissue Surfactants: preservatives alter cell membrane in cornea and increase drug permeability e.g. benzylkonium and thiomersal pH: the normal tear pH is 7.4 If drug pH is much different, this will cause reflex tearing Drug tonicity: when an alkaloid drug is put in relatively alkaloid medium, the proportion of the uncharged form will increase, thus more penetration Molecular weight and size 18
Slide 19-

TOPICAL Drop (Gutta)- simplest and most convenient mainly for day time use 1 drop=50 microlitre Conjuctival sac capacity=7-13 micro liter so, even 1 drop is more than enough Method hold the skin below the lower eye lid pull it forward slightly INSTILL 1 drop measures to increase drop absorption: -wait 5-10 minutes between drops -compress lacrimal sac -keep lids closed for 5 minutes after instillation 19
Slide 20-

Ointments Increase the contact time of ocular medication to ocular surface, thus better effect It has the disadvantage of blurring vision The drug has to be highly lipid soluble with some water solubility to have maximum effect as ointment 20
Slide 21-

Peri-ocular injections They reach behind iris-lens diaphragm better than topical application E.g. subconjunctival, subtenon, peribulbar, or retrobulbar This route bypass the conjunctival and corneal epithelium which is good for drugs with low lipid solubility (e.g. penicillins) Also steroids and local anesthetics can be applied this way 21
Slide 22-

Periocular Subconjunctival - To achieve higher concentration Drugs which cannot penetrate cornea due to large size Penetrate via sclera Subtenon—Ant. Subtenon– diseases anterior to the lens Post. Subtenon– disease posterior to the lens Retrobulbar- Optic neuritis Papillitis Posterior uveitis Anesthesia Peribulbar-- anesthesia 22
Slide 23-

Intraocular injections Intracameral or intravitreal E.g. Intracameral acetylcholine (miochol) during cataract surgery Intravitreal antibiotics in cases of endophthalmitis Intravitreal steroids in macular edema Intravitreal Anti-VEGF for DR 23
Slide 24-

Sustained-release devices These are devices that deliver an adequate supply of medication at a steady-state level E.g. Ocusert delivering pilocarpine Timoptic XE delivering timolol Ganciclovir sustained-release intraocular device Collagen shields 24
Slide 25-

Systemic drugs Oral or IV Factor influencing systemic drug penetration into ocular tissue: lipid solubility of the drug: more penetration with high lipid solubility Protein binding: more effect with low protein binding Ocular inflammation: more penetration with ocular inflammation 25
