Table 2. Comparison between the in vivo efficacy of acetazolamide PEHVs compared to 1% acetazolamide solution and conventional liposomes.
Acetazolamide formulation | Maximum value of lowering IOP (mmHg) ± S.D. | Duration of action (lowering IOP) (h) | Area under the curve (AUC) (mmHg.h) ± S.D. |
---|---|---|---|
Acetazolamide 1% solution | −3.75 ± 0.07 | 4 | 11.78 ± 1.54 |
PEHVs-F7 | −7.6 ± 1.28 | >24 hrs | 99.08 ± 20.1 |
PEHVs-F15 | −7.3 ± 0.65 | 12 | 44.22 ± 10.38 |
Conventional liposomes-F18 | −5.7 ± 0.77 | 12 | 51.65 ± 10.77 |
