Tafluprost acid

Tafluprost acid (AFP-172), an active metabolic form of Tafluprost, is a selective prostanoid FP receptor agonist. Tafluprost acid shows a high affinity for human prostanoid FP receptor with Ki and EC50 values of 0.4 nM and 0.53 nM, respectively. Tafluprost acid has 126 times weaker binding affinity for prostanoid EP3 receptor (IC50=67 nM) than for the prostanoid FP receptor. Tafluprost acid can be used in the research of glaucoma[1][2][3].
