It is a prostaglandin analogue (more specifically an analogue of Prostaglandin F2a)" "The PGF2a analogs consist of Latanoprost, travoprost, bimatoprost, and unoprostone. PGF2a analogs appear to lower IOP by facilitating aqueous outflow through the accessory uveoscleral outflow pathway. The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear"
