Abstract
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is the most prevalent glaucoma type, and the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Identification of early POAG biomarkers is of enormous value, as there is not an effective treatment for the glaucomatous optic nerve degeneration (OND). In this pilot study, a metabolomic analysis, by using proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was conducted in tears, in order to determine the changes of specific metabolites in the initial glaucoma eyes and to discover potential diagnostic biomarkers. A classification model, based on the metabolomic fingerprint in tears was generated as a non-invasive tool to support the preclinical and clinical POAG diagnosis. 1H NMR spectra were acquired from 30 tear samples corresponding to the POAG group (n = 11) and the control group (n = 19). Data were analysed by multivariate statistics (partial least squares-discriminant analysis: PLS-DA) to determine a model capable of differentiating between groups. The whole data set was split into calibration (65%)/validation (35%), to test the performance and the ability for glaucoma discrimination. The calculated PLS-DA model showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 1, as well as a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 83.3% to distinguish POAG group versus control group tear data. This model included 11 metabolites, potential biomarkers of the disease. When comparing the study groups, a decrease in the tear concentration of phenylalanine, phenylacetate, leucine, n-acetylated compounds, formic acid, and uridine, was found in the POAG group. Moreover, an increase in the tear concentration of taurine, glycine, urea, glucose, and unsaturated fatty acids was observed in the POAG group. These results highlight the potential of tear metabolomics by 1H NMR spectroscopy as a non-invasive approach to support early POAG diagnosis and in order to prevent visual loss.

Abstract
In order to obtain topical and non-irritating anti-glaucoma drugs, novel semicarbazide-containing sulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthetized by sugar tail method in this study. The hydrophilic monosaccharides were expected to form interaction with the hydrophilic site of hCA II meanwhile the linker semicarbazides are used to further enhance water solubility, and more importantly, regulate the pH values of the target compounds in aqueous solution. First, all target compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their CA inhibitory activities. The results showed our target compounds demonstrated comparable activity to the positive control drug acetazolamide. The best derivative 11d exhibits an IC50 value of 14 nM for hCA II and 2086-fold selectivity over CA I. Subsequently, physicochemical properties study showed that the target compounds displayed very good water solubility (up to 3 %) and neutral pH value in solutions. Meanwhile, the artificial membrane permeability assay was performed to verify that the target compound could also pass through the membrane structure despite their strong water solubility. In the glaucomatous rabbit eye model, the applied topically representative compounds showed strongly lowered intraocular pressure (IOP), as 1 % or 2 % water solutions. Subsequent drug-like evaluation showed our target compounds possessed low hemolysis effect and low cytotoxicity toward human corneal epithelial cell line. Also, it was not found that these target compounds had significant inhibition of hERG and CYP. In addition, these novel analogs also displayed good liver microsomal metabolic stability and plasma stability. Finally, docking studies provided the rational binding modes of representative compounds in complex with hCA II. Taken together, these results suggested that compound 11d may be a promising hCA II inhibitor deserving further development.

Abstract
The abundance of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in aqueous humor (AH) is an ideal biomarker for the diagnosis of glaucoma, a chronic progressive optic neuropathy and the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness. The difficulty of AH-based BDNF detection is from the small amount of extracted AH in a paracentesis (<100 μL) and the ultra-low abundance of BDNF. In this work, we systematically studied the non-specific adsorption of biofluids on the bare gold electrode by electrochemistry and Raman spectroscopy techniques, revealing the unexpected negative correlation of the extent of non-specific adsorption with the size of the electrode. Based on it, a simple microelectrode-based sensor without the introduction of the blocking layer was developed for the detection of BDNF in the AH sample. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and extracting the changes of electron-transfer resistance of the electrochemical probe [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- on the sensor surface, the BDNF was quantified. The dynamic range was from 0.5 to 50 pg·mL-1, with a detection limit of 0.3 pg·mL-1 and a sample consumption of 5 μL. The real AH sample analysis confirmed the significant decrease of BDNF abundance in the AH of glaucoma patients. Our microelectrode-based EIS sensor displayed prominent advantages on simplified preparation, sensitive response, and low sample consumption. This AH-based BDNF analysis is expected to be used for the screening and diagnosis of glaucoma, especially for the high-risk population who have ocular diseases and have to undergo surgeries.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease of the optic nerve currently considered a severe health problem because of its high prevalence, being the primary cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most common type corresponds to Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma. Glaucoma produces, among other alterations, a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and its axons which are the key contributors to generate action potentials that reach the visual cortex to create the visual image. Glaucoma is characterized by Visual Field loss whose main feature is to be painless and therefore makes early detection difficult, causing a late diagnosis and a delayed treatment indication that slows down its progression. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, which represent a subgroup of RGCs are characterized by their response to short-wave light stimulation close to 480 nm, their non-visual function, and their role in the generation of the pupillary reflex. Currently, the sensitivity of clinical examinations correlates to RGC damage; however, the need for an early damage biomarker is still relevant. It is an urgent task to create new diagnostic approaches to detect an early stage of glaucoma in a prompt, quick, and economical manner. We summarize the pathology of glaucoma and its current clinical detection methods, and we suggest evaluating the pupillary response to chromatic light as a potential biomarker of disease, due to its diagnostic benefit and its cost-effectiveness in clinical practice in order to reduce irreversible damage caused by glaucoma.

Abstract
Human (h) carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms IX and XII were recently confirmed as anticancer targets against solid hypoxic tumours. The “three-tails approach” has been proposed as an extension of the forerunner “tail” and “dual-tail approach” to fully exploit the amino acid differences at the medium/outer active site rims among different hCAs and to obtain more isoform-selective inhibitors. Many three-tailed inhibitors (TTIs) showed higher selectivity against the tumour-associated isoforms hCA IX and XII with respect to the off-targets hCA I and II. X-ray crystallography studies were performed to investigate the binding mode of four TTIs in complex with a hCA IX mimic. The ability of the most potent and selective TTIs to reduce in vitro the viability of colon cancer (HT29), prostate adenocarcinoma (PC3), and breast cancer (ZR75-1) cell lines was evaluated in normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (3% O2) conditions demonstrating relevant anti-proliferative effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we sought to evaluate the extent of further visual field that could be assessed when using stimulus size V in standard automated perimetry compared with size III in advanced stage glaucoma and whether cut-off values could be determined for when to switch from size III to size V. DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study. SETTING Single-centre outpatient eye clinic in India (New Delhi). PARTICIPANTS Advanced stage glaucoma defined as stages 3-4. INTERVENTION Central static perimetry with Octopus 900 G programme (size III stimulus dynamic strategy) and low vision central programme (size V stimulus dynamic strategy). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Visual field assessment for right and left eyes with both sizes III and V were undertaken within one clinic visit. RESULTS We recruited 126 patients (170 eyes). Mean patient age at assessment was 55.86 years (SD 15.15). Means (SD) for size III versus size V, respectively, were 6.94 dB (5.58) and 12.98 dB (7.77) for mean sensitivity, 20.02 dB (5.67) and 19.22 dB (7.74) for mean deviation, 5.89 dB (2.29) and 7.69 dB (2.78) for standard loss variance and 3.32 min (1.07) and 6.40 min (1.43) for test duration. All except mean deviation were significantly different between size III and V tests. CONCLUSION Useful visual field information was obtained with size V stimuli which allowed continued monitoring of these patients that was not possible with size III. Increased test duration, standard loss variance and mean sensitivity were found with size V, as expected, given that more visual responses were obtained with the increased target size. A switch from size III to V may be considered when mean sensitivity reaches 10 dB and/or mean deviation reaches 18 dB.

Abstract
Glaucoma is an insidious group of eye diseases causing degeneration of the optic nerve, progressive loss of vision, and irreversible blindness. The number of people affected by glaucoma is estimated at 80 million in 2021, with 3.5% prevalence in people aged 40-80. The main biomarker and risk factor for the onset and progression of glaucoma is the elevation of intraocular pressure. However, when glaucoma is diagnosed, the level of retinal ganglion cell death usually amounts to 30-40%; hence, the urgent need for its early diagnosis. Molecular biomarkers of glaucoma, from proteins to metabolites, may be helpful as indicators of pathogenic processes observed during the disease's onset. The discovery of human glaucoma biomarkers is hampered by major limitations, including whether medications are influencing the expression of molecules in bodily fluids, or whether tests to validate glaucoma biomarker candidates should include human subjects with different types and stages of the disease, as well as patients with other ocular and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, the proper selection of the biofluid or tissue, as well as the analytical platform, should be mandatory. In this review, we have summarized current knowledge concerning proteomics- and metabolomics-based glaucoma biomarkers, with specificity to human eye tissue and fluid, as well the analytical approach and the main results obtained. The complex data published to date, which include at least 458 different molecules altered in human glaucoma, merit a new, integrative approach allowing for future diagnostic tests based on the absolute quantification of local and/or systemic biomarkers of glaucoma.

Abstract
Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was clinically exploited for decades, as most modern diuretics were obtained considering as lead molecule acetazolamide, the prototypical CA inhibitor (CAI). The discovery and characterization of multiple human CA (hCA) isoforms, 15 of which being known today, led to new applications of their inhibitors. They include widely clinically used antiglaucoma, antiepileptic and antiobesity agents, antitumor drugs in clinical development, as well as drugs for the management of acute mountain sickness and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Emerging roles of several CA isoforms in areas not generally connected to these enzymes were recently documented, such as in neuropathic pain, cerebral ischemia, rheumatoid arthritis, oxidative stress and Alzheimer's disease. Proof-of-concept studies thus emerged by using isoform-selective inhibitors, which may lead to new clinical applications in such areas. Relevant preclinical models are available for these pathologies due to the availability of isoform-selective CAIs for all human isoforms, belonging to novel classes of compounds, such as coumarins, sulfocoumarins, dithiocarbamates, benzoxaboroles, apart the classical sulfonamide inhibitors. The inhibition of CAs from pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoans or nematodes started recently to be considered for obtaining anti-infectives with a new mechanism of action.

China kept the second place and the number of publications has increased rapidly between 2014 and 2018. The author with the highest number of publications was Weinreb, RN. Co-occurrence maps were built amongst the top 50 authors or the top 50 institutions with the most articles, which visualize the closer collaboration of international authors or institutions. The journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science has published the most papers. Glaucoma literature with an impact factor of 3-5 points accounted for the largest proportion (28.96%). The most frequently cited paper had 798 citations. The top three hot areas on glaucoma were intraocular pressure, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal ganglion cells. And trabecular meshwork, primary angle-closure glaucoma and Spectral-domain OCT have become new hot research topics in recent five years during 2014-2018. CONCLUSION Bibliometric analysis is an effective method to describe the global literature on glaucoma. In a 10-year literature survey from 2009 to 2018, global glaucoma research has developed in a balanced manner, and the cooperation between various institutions and teams has become closer. Glaucoma-related pathogenesis research, imaging examinations of OCT and surgery therapy have attracted most attention.

Abstract
![]()
The “tail
approach” has become a milestone in human
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (hCAI) design for various therapeutics,
including antiglaucoma agents. Besides the classical hydrophobic/hydrophilic
division of hCAs active site, several subpockets have been identified
at the middle/outer active sites rim, which could be targeted to increase
the CAI isoform selectivity. This postulate is explored here by three-tailed
benzenesulfonamide CAIs (TTI) to fully exploit such amino
acid differences among hCAs. In this proof-of-concept study, an extensive
structure–activity relationship (SAR) study was carried out
with 32 such benzenesulfonamides differing in tails combination that
were assayed for hCAs I, II, IV, and XII inhibition. A structural
study was undertaken by X-ray crystallography and in silico tools to assess the ligand/target interaction mode. The most active
and selective inhibitors against isoforms implicated in glaucoma were
assessed in a rabbit model of the disease achieving an intraocular
pressure-lowering action comparable to the clinically used dorzolamide.

Abstract
A series of new carbohydrate-based sulphonamide derivatives were designed, synthesised by employing the so-call ‘sugar-tail’ approach. The compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of CAs. Compared to their parent compound p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, these compounds showed nearly 100-fold improvement in their binding affinities against hCA II in vitro. All of compounds showed great water solubility and the pH value of their water solutions of compounds is 7.0. Such properties are advantageous to make them much less irritating to the eye when applied topical glaucomatous drugs, compared to the relatively highly acidic dorzolamide preparations (pH 5.5). Notably, compounds 7d, 7 g, 7 h demonstrated to topically lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous animals better than brinzolamide when applied as a 1% solution directly into the eye. Low cytotoxicity on human cornea epithelial cell was observed in the tested concentrations by the MTT assay.
