Description
Curator's Comment: http://www.merck.com/licensing/our-partnership/santen-partnership.html

Tafluprost (free acid) is an active metabolite of the tafluprost, a drug, which is approved for the treatment of glaucoma. Tafluprost acid is a very strong PGF2-alpha receptor (FP receptor) agonist.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: The study proved that tafluprost and its metabolites could not cross the blood – brain barrier and the placenta proved to be an effective barrier.

Originator

Curator's Comment: In April 15, 2009 Merck & Co., Inc. announced a worldwide licensing agreement for tafluprost from Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
