Nepafenac is a prodrug of amfenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX-1 and -2 inhibitor.{36332} Nepafenac is metabolized to amfenac following topical exposure to ex vivo rabbit cornea.{36333} Nepafenac is an inhibitor of prostaglandin (PG) synthase 1 (IC50 = 64.3 µM) that inhibits the production of prostaglandins ex vivo in isolated rabbit iris/ciliary body by 59.9-100% at a topical ocular dose of 50 µL of a 0.1% solution. It also reduces protein and PGE2 (Item No. 14010) accumulation in a rabbit model of acute ocular inflammation when used topically at a concentration of 0.1% prior to paracentesis. Formulations containing nepafenac have been used in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
