Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog that functions as a prostamide. It acts as a potent agonist at the prostaglandin FP receptor, leading to increased outflow of aqueous humor from the eye. Bimatoprost′s mechanism of action involves binding to the prostaglandin FP receptor, which is present in the ciliary muscle of the eye. By activating this receptor, bimatoprost facilitates the drainage of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. Bimatoprost may increase the length and thickness of eyelashes, although the exact mechanism behind this effect is not fully understood. At the molecular level, bimatoprost′s interaction with the prostaglandin FP receptor leads to downstream signaling events that ultimately result in the desired physiological responses. Bimatoprost′s function and mechanism of action make it for investigating the regulation of intraocular pressure and potential effects on eyelash growth in experimental applications.
