Travoprost free acid is a selective FP prostanoid receptor agonist (prostaglandin analog) believed to reduce intraocular pressure by increasing uveoscleral outflow; the exact mechanism is unknown.
Latanoprostene bunod is a prostaglandin analog and nitric oxide-donating agent that lowers intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor outflow through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes.
