Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Conditions:
Dorzolamide is a sulfonamide and a highly specific carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II) inhibitor, which is the main CA isoenzyme involved in aqueous humor secretion. Dorzolamide is marketed under the trade name Trusopt, indicated in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme found in many tissues of the body including the eye. It
catalyzes the reversible reaction involving the hydration of carbon dioxide and the dehydration of carbonic
acid. In humans, carbonic anhydrase exists as a number of isoenzymes, the most active being carbonic
anhydrase II (CA-II), found primarily in red blood cells (RBCs), but also in other tissues. Inhibition of
carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humor secretion, presumably
by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in sodium and fluid transport. The
result is a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP).
TRUSOPT Ophthalmic Solution contains dorzolamide hydrochloride, an inhibitor of human carbonic
anhydrase II. Following topical ocular administration, TRUSOPT reduces elevated intraocular pressure.
Elevated intraocular pressure is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of optic nerve damage and
glaucomatous visual field loss.

Targets:
Diclorphenamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, was initially developed for the treatment of glaucome, however, now it is used for patients suffering from primary hypokalemic and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. The exact mechanism of diclorphenamide in periodic paralysis is unknown.
