Effect of several drugs on disruption of blood-aqueous barrier

Disruption of blood-aqueous barrier elevates protein and flare in the anterior chamber. PGE2,PGE2 receptor antagonist, and isopropyl unoprostone (PG-related antiglaucoma agent) disrupted the blood -aqueous barrier in pigmented rabbits. Betaxolol (antiglaucoma agent having calcium blocking activity), apraclonidine (α 2 agonist), epinephrine (β 2 antagonist), diviyefrin (β 2 antagonist), betamethasone (corticosteroid), fluorometholone (corticosteroid), diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), pranoprofen (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), baicalein (a component isolated from medicinal herb), baicalin (a component isolated from medicinal herb), tramazoline (vasoconstructor), FR122047 (COX-1 inhibitor), and FR188582(COX-2 inhibitor) suppressed PGE2-induced aqueous, flare elevation in pigmented rabbits. Postoperative aqueous flare elevation was inhibited by Kakkon-to in cataract patients or by betaxolol in glaucoma patients. It is possible that these agents may be useful in treatment for uveitis.
