Biological Activity
Tafluprost is a synthetic prostaglandin analog that acts as a potent and selective fluoroprostaglandin (FP) receptor agonist. Activation of the FP receptor stimulates intracellular calcium mobilization and modulates extracellular matrix remodeling within ocular tissues. This receptor activation promotes matrix metalloproteinase expression and enhances uveoscleral outflow, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure in preclinical models. [1]

Solubility
Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
| Solvent | Solubility & Note |
|---|---|
| DMSO |
100 mg/mL
(220.97 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.) |
| Water | 100 mg/mL |
| Ethanol | 100 mg/mL |
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
