Scientists at Sami Labs have developed a stable formulation of forskolin eye drops for use in the management of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Forskolin is insoluble in water and therefore difficult to formulate into clear compositions for ocular application, according to the company. However, Sami’s patent-pending forskolin eye drops composition contains natural forskolin from Coleus forskohlii solubilized in water using its method. The company is in the process of filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for this product in India and it plans to conduct multiple clinical trials as part of the IND protocol.
