NCIt definition : An ester with sympathomimetic activities. Dipivefrin hydrochloride is a prodrug of
epinephrine that, due to its greater lipophilicity, allows for better penetration
into the anterior chamber. Once inside the eye, dipivefrin hydrochloride is converted
by hydrolysis to epinephrine. Epinephrine enhances the outflow of aqueous humor and
decreases the production of aqueous humor by vasoconstriction. This leads to a reduction
in intraocular pressure.;
