Abstract

Described herein are compounds and compositions for treating glaucoma and/or reducing intraocular pressure. Compositions may comprise an isoquinoline compound and a prostaglandin or a prostaglandin analog. Compounds described herein include those in which an isoquinoline compound is covalently linked to a prostaglandin or a prostaglandin analog, and those in which an isoquinoline compound and a prostaglandin free acid together form a salt.

Claims (31)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising about 0.01% (w/v) to about 1.0% (w/v) of a dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate and at least one excipient.

2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one excipient is a tonicity agent.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the tonicity agent is mannitol.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein the mannitol is D-mannitol.

5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 4 , wherein the D-mannitol is about 4.7% (w/v) of the pharmaceutical composition.

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , further comprising a buffer.

7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the buffer is boric acid and the pH of the pharmaceutical composition is about 5.0.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , wherein the boric acid is about 0.05% (w/v) of the pharmaceutical composition.

9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 , further comprising a buffer.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the buffer is boric acid and the pH of the pharmaceutical composition is about 5.0.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , wherein the boric acid is about 0.05% (w/v) of the pharmaceutical composition.

12. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , further comprising a preservative.

13. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 12 , wherein the preservative is benzalkonium chloride.

14. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 13 , wherein the benzalkonium chloride is about 0.015% (w/v) of the pharmaceutical composition.

15. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 11 , further comprising a preservative.

16. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 15 , wherein the preservative is benzalkonium chloride.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the benzalkonium chloride is about 0.015% (w/v) of the pharmaceutical composition.

18. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , comprising at least about 0.020% (w/v) to less than about 0.05% (w/v) of the dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate.

19. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) about 0.01% (w/v) to about 1.0% (w/v) of a dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate;

(b) boric acid;

(c) mannitol; and

(d) benzalkonium chloride.

20. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19 , comprising at least about 0.020% (w/v) to less than about 0.05% (w/v) of the dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate.

21. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) about 0.01% (w/v) to about 1.0% (w/v) of a dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate;

(b) about 0.05% (w/v) boric acid;

(c) about 4.7% (w/v) D-mannitol; and

(d) about 0.015% (w/v) benzalkonium chloride,

wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH of about 5.0.

22. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 21 , comprising at least about 0.020% (w/v) to less than about 0.05% (w/v) of the dimesylate salt of (S)-4-(3-amino-1-(isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzyl 2,4-dimethylbenzoate.
