The central effects of CS-088, angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker on intraocular pressure (IOP) in male pigmented rabbits were investigated. Fifty μL CS-088 was administered to the lateral eye, orally, or intravenous by from the auricular vein (i.v.). For intracerebroventricular (icv) treatment, a guide cannula was inserted two weeks before injection into the lateral ventriulus following Fifkova's brain map; ten μL CS-088 was subsequently injected (5 μL/min) to the lateral ventriculus. After the treatments, IOP was measured with a pneumatonometer and blood pressure (BP) at the right lower limb was monitored without anesthesia. IOPs were significantly decreased bilaterally after 30 min topical administration of 6% CS-088 to the lateral eye compared to a phosphate buffer treatment of the control group (p < 0.05, n = 6); BP showed no change. With 6% CS-088 oral administration, IOP and BP were not changed. IOP and BP decreased significantly at 60 min after 6% CS-088 i.v. treatment (p < 0.05, n = 5). IOP did not change with 0.06% CS-088 icv treatment. These results suggest that topical use of CS-088 might decrease IOP in the pigmented rabbit by a sympathetic nerve effect and its local effect.
