We determined the effect of 1.5% ethacrynic acid (ECA) in ointment on intraocular pressure (IOP) and outflow facility following 5 days of topical treatment in ocular normotensive cynomolgus monkeys. Twelve monkeys received a 1 cm strip of ointment containing ECA in one eye but without ECA in the other once daily for 5 days. On Day 1 and Day 5 IOP was measured immediately before and 1 and 3 h after treatment. Outflow facility (perfusion) was determined 3.5 h after treatment on Day 5. The ECA-vehicle IOP differences averaged -2.8 +/- 0.8 (S.E.M) (p < 0.01), -1.7 +/- 0.6 (p < 0.02) and -3.7 +/- 0.7 mm Hg (p < 0.001), equivalent to IOP reductions of 21 +/- 6% (p < 0.01), 13 +/- 5% (p < 0.02) and 26 +/- 5% (p < 0.002) respectively, at 0, 1 and 3 h respectively after treatment on Day 5. Facility averaged 40 +/- 15% higher (p < 0.03) in the ECA-treated compared to the vehicle-treated eyes 4 h after treatment on Day 5.

D004976 Ethacrynic Acid A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.

D000287 Administration, Topical The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.
