Latrunculin-B (LAT-B), a macrolide derived from the marine sponge Latrunculia magnifica, sequesters monomeric G-actin, leading to the disassembly of actin filaments in cultured cells. In this study, we determined the effect of LAT-B on outflow facility in living monkeys. Total outflow facility was measured by 2-level constant pressure perfusion of the anterior chamber (AC) before and immediately after AC exchange infusion or 2 hr after topical application of LAT-B or vehicle. Both AC exchange infusion and topical application of LAT-B dose- and time-dependently increased outflow facility by two- to four-fold. Those findings suggest that pharmacological disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in the trabecular meshwork. by specific actin inhibitors such as LAT-B may be a useful anti-glaucoma strategy.
