Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.35mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 87 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 500 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% corn oil
4.35mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 87 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Latanoprost (Xalatan, PhXA41) is a prostaglandin F2alpha analogue and a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist with an ocular hypertensive effect. Latanoprost increases uveoscleral outflow and thereby reduces intraocular pressure.
Targets
retinoid X receptor α [2] PGF-prostanoid receptor [3]
In vitro Latanoprost functioned as both an indirect activator of AMP-activated protein kinase and a selective retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) antagonist able to selectively antagonise the transcription of a RXRα/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ heterodimer[2]. Latanoprost induced morphological abnormality and viability decline of HCS cells in vitro. It induces cell cycle arrest of HCS cells. Latanoprost induces abnormal changes of plasma membrane, DNA fragmentation and ultrastructural abnormality of HCS cells. Caspase activation in HCS cells is also activated by Latanoprost treatment. Latanoprost induces MTP disruption and quantitative changes of mitochondrion-associated pro-apoptotic regulators in HCS cells[1]. Latanoprost is effective in inhibiting adipogenesis, reducing lipogenesis, promoting fatty acid oxidation and enhancing GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake both in adipocytes and myotubes[2].
In vivo Latanoprost, a clinical drug for treating primary open-angle glaucoma and intraocular hypertension, effectively ameliorates glucose and lipid disorders in two mouse models of type 2 diabetes. Its treatment improves glucose tolerance. Chronic administration of latanoprost decreases serum lipids and enhances insulin signalling in white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. It effectually activates AMPK and regulates glucose and lipid metabolism-relevant genes in diabetic mice[2].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:[1]
  • Cell lines

    Human corneal stromal (HCS) cells

  • Concentrations

    from 50 mg/l to 0.78125 mg/l

  • Incubation Time

    4, 8, 12 h

  • Method

    HCS cells were inoculated into a 24-well culture plate (Nunc) and cultured in 10% FBS-DMEM/F12 medium at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. After the cells grew into logarithmic phase, the culture medium of each culture plate well was replaced entirely with the medium containing latanoprost at concentrations varying from 50 mg/l to 0.78125 mg/l, respectively. The cells were cultured under the same condition as described earlier, and their morphology and growth status were monitored every 4 h under an Eclipse TS100 inverted microscope.

Animal Study:[2]
  • Animal Models

    db/db or ob/ob mice

  • Dosages

    10 or 40 mg/kg

  • Administration

    i.p.
