Bimatoprost

PubChem CID 5311027

Molecular formula: C25H37NO4

Bimatoprost imitates the effects of prostamides, specifically prostaglandin F2α. Bimatoprost mildly stimulates aqueous humor outflow, relieving elevated intraocular pressure and decreasing the risk of optic nerve damage. It is thought that bimatoprost reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) in humans by causing an increase in outflow of the aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways. It achieves the above effects by decreasing tonographic resistance to aqueous humor outflow. Bimatoprost does not affect aqueous humor production.
