Latanoprost (free acid) is a metabolite of latanoprost which has been approved for use as an ocular hypotensive drug. Latanoprost is an isopropyl ester prodrug which is converted to the Latanoprost-acid by endogenous esterase enzymes. The free acid is pharmacologically active and is 200 times more potent than latanoprost as an agonist of the human recombinant Prostaglandin F receptor. However, the free Latanoprost-acid is more irritating and less effective than Latanoprost when applied directly to the eyes of human glaucoma patients.

Latanoprost above concentrations of 3.125 mg/l can induce dose- and time-dependent morphological abnormality, growth retardation, viability decline, and plasma membrane permeability elevation of human corneal stromal (HCS) cells. Moreover, latanoprost can arrest the cell cycle of these cells at S phase and induce PS externalization, DNA fragmentation, and apoptotic body formation of the cells. Furthermore, latanoprost can induce activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9; disruption of MTP; downregulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2; upregulation of pro-apoptotic Bax; and cytoplasmic cytochrome c release
