Zaditor (Ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic): Novartis Ophthalmics
Zaditor (Ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic) is used for the management of itchy eyes from conjunctivitis due to allergies. It is expected that zaditor's strong and non-competitive antagonistic action on H1 histamine receptors plays a major role in its anti-allergic effects. The medication also stabilizes mast cells and has been demonstrated to inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory and allergic mediators, including platelet-activating factor, histamine, and leukotrienes C4 and D4.
Bepreve (Bepotastine besilate): Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation
Bepreve (Bepotastine besilate) works against allergic conjunctivitis through multiple mechanisms. Its primary function is to prevent the effects of histamine at the receptor sites by acting as a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist. It also keeps mast cells stable, which stops them from releasing histamine and other inflammatory chemicals. It also inhibits the migration of eosinophils, another type of immune cell involved in allergic inflammation, to the conjunctiva.
Epinastine Hydrochloride: Apotex
An H1 histamine receptor antagonist called epinastine hydrochloride ocular solution is prescribed to relieve irritation related to allergic conjunctivitis. It is a topical direct H1-receptor antagonist that prevents mast cells from releasing histamine. The medication has affinity for the histamine H2 receptor and specifically targets the H1 receptor. Epinastine binds to the 5-HT2 receptor, α1, and α2 receptors.
Lastacaft (Alcaftadine): AbbVie
Lastacaft (Alcaftadine) is a topical ophthalmic antihistamine with multifunctional antiallergic activity. It acts as an inverse agonist at histamine H1, H2, and H4 receptors, effectively blocking histamine from binding and reducing itching, redness, and swelling. Additionally, it stabilizes mast cells to prevent further histamine release, diminishes eosinophil recruitment, and supports sustained relief with a convenient dosage regimen.
Pataday (olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution): Alcon Laboratories
Pataday (olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) has the dual action of being both a histamine H1 receptor antagonist and a mast cell stabilizer. This dual action is responsible for relaxing symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis by acting as a blocker for the histamine receptors and inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators. Olopatadine, in particular, is responsible for blocking the binding of histamine to its receptors and preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells, thus inhibiting allergic inflammation in the eyes.
Reproxalap: Aldeyra Therapeutics
Reproxalap, developed by Aldeyra Therapeutics, is a novel drug for allergic conjunctivitis that works by inhibiting reactive aldehyde species (RASP). These RASP molecules are elevated in ocular inflammation and contribute to the inflammatory cascade in allergic conjunctivitis. By neutralizing these reactive aldehydes, reproxalap reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, offering a targeted approach to managing the condition.
VSJ-110: Vanda Pharmaceuticals
VSJ-110 is a CFTR activator being investigated for allergic conjunctivitis. Its mechanism of action involves activating the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, which may address both the aqueous deficiency and inflammatory components of the condition. By activating CFTR, VSJ-110 aims to increase tear production and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, potentially providing relief from symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.
ST266: Noveome
ST266 is a cell-free biologic secretome derived from amnion-origin multipotent progenitor (AMP) cells, containing several anti-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and signaling molecules. When applied as ophthalmic drops, ST266 modulates local inflammation through paracrine signaling, thereby reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, stabilizing vascular permeability, and promoting cellular homeostasis. This multi-factor activity helps alleviate allergic conjunctivitis symptoms by dampening mast cell–driven immune responses and restoring tissue balance.
