Distribution of brimonidine into anterior and posterior tissues of monkey, rabbit, and rat eyes

Drug Metabolism and Disposition : the Biological Fate of Chemicals

Abstract

The objectives of the study were to evaluate the distribution of brimonidine (alpha2-adrenergic agonist) into anterior and posterior ocular tissues. Single or multiple doses of a 0.2 or 0.5% brimonidine tartrate solution were administered to one or both eyes of monkeys or to one eye of rabbits. Brimonidine was administered intraperitoneally to rats. After topical administration, [14C]brimonidine was rapidly absorbed into the cornea and conjunctiva and distributed throughout the eye. [14C]Radioactivity was higher and cleared more slowly in pigmented tissues (iris/ciliary body, choroid/retina, and optic nerve) than in nonpigmented tissues. Single and multiple dosing led to a similar drug distribution, with higher levels of brimonidine measured in pigmented tissues after multiple dosing. Most of the radioactivity extracted from ocular tissues represented unchanged brimonidine. In the rabbits and the monkey treated in only one eye, levels of radioactivity in the untreated eye were low, consistent with the low systemic levels and rapid drug clearance. Posterior ocular tissue concentrations of radioactivity exceeded systemic blood concentrations. The vitreous humor brimonidine concentrations in monkeys treated topically with 0.2% bri...Continue Reading
