Biological Activity
| Description | Nepafenac (AHR 9434, AL 6515) is a prodrug of amfenac that acts as an inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 activity, used in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery. | ||

| In vivo | Nepafenac shows significantly greater ocular bioavailability and amfenac demonstrated greater potency at COX-2 inhibition than ketorolac or bromfenac. [1] Nepafenac exhibits only weak COX-1 inhibitory activity with IC50 of 64.3 mM. Nepafenac inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the iris/ciliary body (85-95%) and the retina/choroid (55%) in rabbits. [2] Nepafenac (0.5%) produces 65% reduction in retinal edema which is correlated with 62% inhibition of blood-retinal barrier breakdown. Nepafenac (0.5%) significantly inhibits (46%) blood-retinal barrier breakdown concomitant with near total suppression of PGE2 synthesis (96%). [3] Nepafenac significantly inhibits retinal prostaglandin E(2), superoxide, cyclooxygenase-2, and leukostasis within retinal microvessels in insulin-deficient diabetic rats, without affecting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO). Nepafenac significantly inhibits the number of transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling-positive capillary cells, acellular capillaries, and pericyte ghosts in diabetic rats. [4] Nepafenac results in significantly less choroidal neovascularization and significant less ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization in mice compare to control. Nepafenac also blunts the increase in VEGF mRNA in the retina induced by ischemia. [5] Nepafenac delays the progression of malignancy as well as reduces weight in an ocular and metastatic animal model of uveal melanoma. [6] |
