Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/pro/bromfenac-ophthlamic-solution.html | http://www.rxlist.com/xibrom-drug.htm

Bromfenac is a topical, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for ophthalmic use. It is indicated for the treatment of postoperative inflammation and reduction of ocular pain in patients who have undergone cataract surgery. The mechanism of its action is thought to be due to its ability to block prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and 2. The most commonly reported adverse reactions in 3 to 8% of patients were anterior chamber inflammation, foreign body sensation, eye pain, photophobia and vision blurred.

Sample Use Guides

Instill one drop into the affected eye once daily beginning 1 day prior to surgery, continued on the day of surgery, and through the first 14 days postsurgery.
Route of Administration: Topical
ARPE-19 cells treated with 4X and 2X clinical doses of bromfenac ophthalmic solution (BOS) showed mean CV of 16.95±3.04% (p<0.001), and 28.45±2.33% (p0.05). The ΔΨM was decreased and the caspase 3 /7 activity increased in ARPE-19 cells treated with all BOS concentrations when compared to untreated ARPE 19 controls (15.15±1.05). The ΔΨM of ARPE-19 cells were 2.74±0.36 (p<0.001), 2.35±0.33 (p<0.001), 2.63±0.20 (p<0.001), 5.30±0.18 (p<0.001) and 5.22±0.15 (p<0.001) for 4X, 2X, X, X/2 and X/4 concentrations respectively. The ROS activity was significantly increased for all BOS concentrations when compared to untreated control. Caspase 3/7 activity was significantly increased for all BOS concentrations.
