When exercising their judgement, professionals are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or service users. The recommendations in this guideline are not mandatory and the guideline does not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian. Local commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients or service users wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties. NICE guidelines cover health and care in England. Decisions on how they apply in other UK countries are made by ministers in the Welsh Government, Scottish Government, and Northern Ireland Executive. All NICE guidance is subject to regular review and may be updated or withdrawn. Copyright © NICE 2018. All rights reserved. Subject to Notice of rights.

  • Eyelash Growth Induced by Topical Prostaglandin Analogues, Bimatoprost, Tafluprost, Travoprost, and Latanoprost in Rabbits
    JOURNAL OF OCULAR PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS ORIGINAL ARTICLE Volume 00, Number 0, 2013 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/jop.2013.0075 Eyelash Growth Induced by Topical Prostaglandin Analogues, Bimatoprost, Tafluprost, Travoprost, and Latanoprost in Rabbits Ama´lia Turner Giannico,1 Leandro Lima,1 Heloisa Helena Abil Russ,2 and Fabiano Montiani-Ferreira1 Abstract Purpose: Prostaglandin analogues (PGA) are ocular hypotensive agents used for the treatment of glaucoma. Hypertrichosis of the eyelashes has been reported in humans as a side effect. Eyelash growth was investigated with clinical trials in people using bimatoprost. Scattered reports of eyelash growth during the treatment of glaucoma with other PGA are also found in the literature. We investigated the effect of 4 different topical PGA on eyelash length. Methods: Forty New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 4 groups and received daily topical application of bimatoprost, tafluprost, travoprost, and latanoprost in the left eye for 4 weeks. The right eye received no treatment. Eyelash length was measured in both eyes before and after treatment using a stainless steel digital caliper. Results: Bimatoprost and tafluprost groups had significant increases in eyelash length. We did not observe significant eyelash growth in rabbits receiving travoprost and latanoprost after 1 month of treatment. Conclusions: Today, only bimatoprost is approved for growing eyelashes, and our research shows that ta- fluprost could be further explored by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Additional research using travoprost and latanoprost as agents for eyelash growth should be performed in the future using prolonged treatment periods to determinate whether or not these PGA induce eyelash growth, and investigate other possible side effects.

However, none of the reported potent inhibitors of human mPGES-1 has shown to be also a potent inhibitor of mouse or rat mPGES-1, which prevents using the well-established mouse/rat models of infammation-related diseases for preclinical studies. Hence, despite of extensive eforts to design and discover various human mPGES-1 inhibitors, the promise of mPGES-1 as a target for the next generation of anti-infammatory drugs has never been demonstrated in any wild-type mouse/rat model using an mPGES-1 inhibitor. Here we report discovery of a novel type of selective mPGES-1 inhibitors potent for both human and mouse mPGES-1 enzymes through structure-based rational design. Based on in vivo studies using wild-type mice, the lead compound is indeed non-toxic, orally bioavailable, and more potent in decreasing the PGE2 (an infammatory marker) levels compared to the currently available drug celecoxib. This is the frst demonstration in wild-type mice that mPGES-1 is truly a promising target for the next generation of anti-infammatory drugs.

  • Antiluteogenic Effects of Serial Prostaglandin F2α Administration in Mares
    ANTILUTEOGENIC EFFECTS OF SERIAL PROSTAGLANDIN F2α ADMINISTRATION IN MARES Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University Elizabeth Ann Coffman Graduate ProGram in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2013 Thesis committee: Carlos R.F. Pinto PhD, MV, DACT; Dissertation Advisor Marco A. Coutinho da Silva PhD, MV, DACT; Academic Advisor Christopher Premanandan PhD, DVM, DACVP Copyright by Elizabeth Ann Coffman 2013 Abstract For breedinG manaGement and estrus synchronization, prostaGlandin F2α (PGF) is one of the most commonly utilized hormones to pharmacologically manipulate the equine estrous cycle. There is a general supposition a sinGle dose of PGF does not consistently induce luteolysis in the equine corpus luteum (CL) until at least five to six days after ovulation. This leads to the erroneous assumption that the early CL (before day five after ovulation) is refractory to the luteolytic effects of PGF. An experiment was desiGned to test the hypotheses that serial administration of PGF in early diestrus would induce a return to estrus similar to mares treated with a sinGle injection in mid diestrus, and fertility of the induced estrus for the two treatment groups would not differ. The specific objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of early diestrus treatment by: 1) assessing the luteal function as reflected by hormone profile for concentration of plasma progesterone; 2) determininG the duration of interovulatory and treatment to ovulation intervals; 3) comparing of the number of pregnant mares at 14 days post- ovulation. The study consisted of a balanced crossover desiGn in which reproductively normal Quarter horse mares (n=10) were exposed to two treatments ii on consecutive reproductive cycles.

  • Effect of Prostanoids on Human Platelet Function: an Overview
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Effect of Prostanoids on Human Platelet Function: An Overview Steffen Braune, Jan-Heiner Küpper and Friedrich Jung * Institute of Biotechnology, Molecular Cell Biology, Brandenburg University of Technology, 01968 Senftenberg, Germany; steff[email protected] (S.B.); [email protected] (J.-H.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 October 2020; Accepted: 23 November 2020; Published: 27 November 2020 Abstract: Prostanoids are bioactive lipid mediators and take part in many physiological and pathophysiological processes in practically every organ, tissue and cell, including the vascular, renal, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems. In this review, we focus on their influence on platelets, which are key elements in thrombosis and hemostasis. The function of platelets is influenced by mediators in the blood and the vascular wall. Activated platelets aggregate and release bioactive substances, thereby activating further neighbored platelets, which finally can lead to the formation of thrombi. Prostanoids regulate the function of blood platelets by both activating or inhibiting and so are involved in hemostasis. Each prostanoid has a unique activity profile and, thus, a specific profile of action. This article reviews the effects of the following prostanoids: prostaglandin-D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin-E1, -E2 and E3 (PGE1, PGE2, PGE3), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane-A2 (TXA2) on platelet activation and aggregation via their respective receptors. Keywords: prostacyclin; thromboxane; prostaglandin; platelets 1. Introduction Hemostasis is a complex process that requires the interplay of multiple physiological pathways. Cellular and molecular mechanisms interact to stop bleedings of injured blood vessels or to seal denuded sub-endothelium with localized clot formation (Figure1).

  • Treatment of Eyebrow Hypotrichosis Using Bimatoprost: a Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Pilot Study
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Treatment of Eyebrow Hypotrichosis Using Bimatoprost: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Pilot Study † KENNETH R. BEER, MD,* HILLARY JULIUS, PA,* MONICA DUNN, RN,* AND FRED WILSON,MS BACKGROUND The Food and Drug Administration has approved bimatoprost ophthalmic solution (0.03%) for the treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis. Previous reports of its efficacy in eyebrow hypotrichosis are anecdotal. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution applied to the eyebrows in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study. METHODS Subjects (n = 20) with mild to moderate eyebrow hypotrichosis enrolled in the study. One group (Bim) applied bimatoprost to each eyebrow daily for 9 months, and another applied vehicle nightly to each eyebrow for 5 months. Subjects in the latter group were re-randomized to apply bimatoprost (Veh-Bim Group) or vehicle (Veh Group) daily to each eyebrow for 4 months. The primary end point was investigator-assessed eyebrow appearance; secondary end points were subject-reported outcomes. RESULTS Investigator assessments showed significant improvements from baseline to 6 (p = .002) and 7 (p = .005) months for the eyebrows treated with bimatoprost. p-Values for the Veh-Bim and Veh groups were not significant at any time point. End-of-study subject satisfaction with eyebrow fullness or thickness and darkness or color was greater in the Bim group than in the Veh group. Adverse effects were not observed. CONCLUSION Bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution applied daily for 9 months improves the appearance of eyebrows noticeably more than vehicle, without side effects. This study was funded with a research grant by Allergan, Inc.
