Abstract

The bimatoprost intracameral implant (Durysta^®) offers a sustained-release approach to glaucoma management, providing consistent intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction over several months and reducing the need for daily topical therapies. This review evaluates its pharmacology, efficacy, and safety, using data from pivotal clinical trials and recent real-world studies. The implant achieves IOP reductions comparable to topical prostaglandin analogs, with benefits for patient adherence and fewer common side effects. However, repeat administrations are associated with adverse effects such as endothelial cell loss, highlighting the need for optimized re-dosing schedules. Future research should explore its use in advanced glaucomas, cost-effectiveness, and combination with other IOP-lowering treatments. The bimatoprost intracameral implant represents a promising innovation in glaucoma therapy with potential for improved patient outcomes.

期刊介绍： Drug Design, Development and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that spans the spectrum of drug design, discovery and development through to clinical applications. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of high-quality original research, reviews, expert opinions, commentary and clinical studies in all therapeutic areas. Specific topics covered by the journal include: Drug target identification and validation Phenotypic screening and target deconvolution Biochemical analyses of drug targets and their pathways New methods or relevant applications in molecular/drug design and computer-aided drug discovery* Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel biologically active compounds (including diagnostics or chemical probes) Structural or molecular biological studies elucidating molecular recognition processes Fragment-based drug discovery Pharmaceutical/red biotechnology Isolation, structural characterization, (bio)synthesis, bioengineering and pharmacological evaluation of natural products** Distribution, pharmacokinetics and metabolic transformations of drugs or biologically active compounds in drug development Drug delivery and formulation (design and characterization of dosage forms, release mechanisms and in vivo testing) Preclinical development studies Translational animal models Mechanisms of action and signalling pathways Toxicology Gene therapy, cell therapy and immunotherapy Personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics Clinical drug evaluation Patient safety and sustained use of medicines.
