Iganidipine

Monkeys^[1]
Five adult cynomolgus monkeys (age, 5-8 years; weight, 3-5 kg; sex, 5 males) are used. All examinations are performed with the monkeys sitting in a modified monkey chair. On the first experimental day, after general anesthesia is induced by Ketamine hydrochloride at a dose of 8 to 10 mg/kg intramuscularly, pupil dilation is induced with one drop of Tropicamide in both eyes. The NB_ONH, IOP, blood pressure, pulse rate, SaO₂, and body temperature are measured at 9AM. Starting on the 2nd experimental day, Iganidipine (0.03% or 0.1%, 30 mL) is administered in one randomly chosen eye and vehicle solution into the other eye twice daily at 8AM and 8PM for 7 days. At 9AM on the 8th experimental day, the same measurements are repeated after general anesthesia and bilateral pupil dilation. After a 4-week interval, a second series of experiments is performed using a different Iganidipine concentration according to the same time schedule.
