Bimatoprost, a prostamide F2 alpha analog, used alone or in combination with other prostamides, or prostaglandin analogs, in a topical manner for the promotion of hair growth in mustache, beard, chest and other androgen dependent hair growth areas in humans and animals.

The described invention relates to the formulation and delivery of compositions to treat an epithelial-related condition selected from the group consisting of sparse hair growth, short hair growth, thin hair growth, alopecia and hair depigmentation and methods for their use. In some embodiments, the composition contains a first component and a second component wherein the first component is at least one prostaglandin analog and the second component is at least one imidazole analog, such that the at least one imidazole analog improves the efficacy of the at least one prostaglandin analog when delivered to a subject refractory to the effect of the prostaglandin analog alone.

Fused cyclopentane—4-substituted 3,5-dioxalane lactone compounds useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of prostaglandin analogs are provided. The compounds have the formula A:

wherein R represents an aryl group such as p-methoxyphenyl.

This compound can be reacted with a lower alkyl aluminum compound to open the dioxalane ring and reduce the lactone to lactol, without over-reducing to diol. The resulting compound can be functionalized to insert chemical side groups of target prostaglandins, adding the required α-side chain and then the required ω-side chain sequentially and independently of each other. The compounds and process are particularly suitable for preparing lubiprostone.

Compounds comprising

are disclosed, wherein Y, A, X, R, D, and n are as described.

A compound comprising a prostaglandin EP₂ selective agonist wherein the ω-chain comprises a substituted phenyl, wherein at least one substituent consists of hydrocarbyl or non-linear hydroxyhydrocarbyl is also disclosed herein. Methods, compositions, and medicaments related thereto are also disclosed.

The present invention provides efficient, economical and environmental friendly methods for synthesis of prostaglandin analogs including tafluprost and intermediates thereof. The invention involves a selective oxidation using in situ boronate ester protection and a unique crystallization method to remove the undesired isomers of fluorinated intermediates.

The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogs. In particular, this invention relates to the production of prostaglandins of the PGF_2α-series, including latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost, which are active pharmaceutical ingredients used for the reduction of elevated intra-ocular pressure in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

The invention provides compositions of novel high penetration compositions (HPC) or high penetration prodrugs (HPP) of prostaglandins or prostaglandin analogs which are capable of crossing biological barriers with high penetration efficiency. The HPPs are capable of being converted to parent prostaglandins or prostaglandin analogs after crossing the biological barrier and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent prostaglandins or prostaglandin analogs can. Additionally, the HPPs are capable of reaching areas that parent prostaglandins or prostaglandin analogs may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. The HPPs can be administered to a subject through various administration routes, e.g., locally delivered to an action site of a condition with a high concentration or systematically administered to a biological subject and enter the general circulation with a faster rate.

The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, in particular relating to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of eye diseases, especially eye inflammation. The pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of eye diseases consists of active ingredients and one or a plurality of accessories that are pharmaceutically acceptable, and is characterized in that the active ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition are one or a plurality of prostaglandin analogs and one or a plurality of glucocorticoids.

A method of enhancing in vitro development of a mammalian embryo is disclosed which comprises supplementing the culture medium with a prostaglandin, or a prostaglandin analog, in an amount effective to promote complete hatching of the embryo (i.e., freeing of the embryo from the zona pellucida). The quality of human blastocysts is enhanced in vitro by culturing with a prostacyclin agonist, Iloprost. The in vivo implantation potential and live birth potential of an in vitro fertilization embryo is thereby enhanced and establishment of a viable pregnancy is facilitated.

The present invention relates to an ophthalmic composition comprising at least two active pharmaceutical ingredients. In particular, the active pharmaceutical ingredients are selected from the group consisting of: an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist; a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist; an immunosuppressant; a lymphocyte associated antigen antagonist; an anti-inflammatory; a beta-blocker; a prostaglandin analog; a histamine receptor antagonist; a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor; and an antibiotic. In some embodiments, the composition of the invention is a nanoemulsion formulation. In one particular embodiment, the first active pharmaceutical ingredient is an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. The present invention also provides a method for treating various clinical conditions associated with an eye disorder or eye disease using the composition of the invention.

The present application relates to amine salts of prostaglandin analogs and their uses for the preparation of substantially pure prostaglandin analogs. Specific embodiments relate to amine salts of tafluprost and their uses for the preparation of substantially pure tafluprost.
