This drug entry is a stub and has not been fully annotated. It is scheduled to be annotated soon.

Identification

Summary

Isosorbide is a vasodilator used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. It was previously used to reduce intraocular pressure.

Generic Name
Isosorbide
DrugBank Accession Number
DB09401
Background

Isosorbide was previously available in an oral formulation for the reduction of intraocular pressure. It was approved by the FDA in 1980, but has since been discontinued. Currently, isosorbide is an organic nitrate currently available in the isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate forms, and is used for the prevention of angina. Refer to these drug entries for more information.

Pharmacology

Indication

Isosorbide was previously indicated for temporary reduction of intraocular pressure and used to interrupt an acute glaucoma attack, however, this is not a currently approved indication.12 Refer to isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate drug entries for more isosorbide indications.

Pharmacodynamics

Isosorbide reduces intraocular pressure through its effects on ocular blood vessels.8,12 While in the blood, isosorbide promotes redistribution of water toward the circulation, promoting the excretion of urine.12

Mechanism of action

Isosorbide causes vascular relaxation, reducing systolic ophthalmic artery pressure (SOAP), systolic ocular perfusion pressure (SOPP).8

TargetActionsOrganism
AGuanylate cyclase
activator
Humans
Absorption

Isosorbide is rapidly absorbed after oral administration.12 Refer to isosorbide mononitrate for detailed absorption information.
