1
UNII 9451Z89515 - BRINZOLAMIDE
 

Brinzolamide is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II). Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme found in many tissues of the body, including the eye. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humour secretion resulting in a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) which is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of optic nerve damage and glaucomatous visual field loss.
