Advances in dorzolamide hydrochloride delivery: harnessing nanotechnology for enhanced ocular drug delivery in glaucoma management.
Review in Discover nano, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dorzolamide hydrochloride (DRZ) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor utilized in managing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with glaucoma. However, its clinical effectiveness is hindered by a short half-life, low residence time, and the need for frequent dosing, highlighting the necessity for innovative delivery systems. This work reviews recent advancements in DRZ delivery, particularly focusing on cyclodextrin complexation and nanotechnology applications. It explores the potential of cyclodextrin derivatives to enhance DRZ's bioavailability. DRZ cyclodextrin complexes or nanoparticulate systems maintain high drug concentrations in the eye while minimizing irritation and viscosity-related issues. Nanotechnology introduces nanoparticle-based carriers such as polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, niosomes, and nanoemulsions. These formulations enable sustained drug release, improved corneal permeation, and enhanced patient compliance. Clinical trials have shown that DRZ nanoparticle eye drops and nanoliposome formulations offer efficacy comparable to conventional therapies, with the potential for better tolerability. Overall, this review highlights significant progress in DRZ delivery systems, suggesting their potential to transform glaucoma treatment by addressing current limitations and improving therapeutic outcomes.
