Brimonidine tartrate/timolol maleate ophthalmic solution 0.2%/0.5%, sterile, is a relatively selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor inhibitor (topical intraocular pressure lowering agent). The structural formulae are: Brimonidine tartrate: 5-bromo-6-(2-imidazolidinylideneamino) quinoxaline L-tartrate; MW= 442.24 Timolol maleate: (-)-1-( tert -butylamino)-3-[(4-morpholino-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)-oxy]-2-propanol maleate (1:1) (salt); MW= 432.50 as the maleate salt In solution, Brimonidine tartrate/timolol maleate ophthalmic solution 0.2%/0.5% has a clear, greenish-yellow color. It has an osmolality of 260-330 mOsmol/kg and a pH during its shelf life of 6.5-7.3. Brimonidine tartrate appears as a pale yellow colored powder to wheatish colored powder and is soluble in water and practically insoluble in anhydrous ethanol and in toluene. Timolol maleate appears as a white or almost white, crystalline powder and is soluble in water; sparingly soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in chloroform; practically insoluble in ether. Each mL of brimonidine tartrate/timolol maleate ophthalmic solution contains the active ingredients brimonidine tartrate 0.2% and timolol 0.5% with the inactive ingredients benzalkonium chloride 0.005%; sodium phosphate, monobasic; sodium phosphate, dibasic; water for injection; and hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH. brimonidine-timolol-brimo-structure brimonidine-timolol-timo-structure
