POLYSACCHARIDE COMPOSITIONS AND THERAPEUTIC GELS
摘要:
Provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a sulphated polysaccharide and a shear-thinning fluid gel. The sulphated polysaccharide may, by way of example, be selected from the group consisting of: a dextran sulphate having an average molecular weight of 10,000 Da or less; heparan sulphate; fucoidan; poligeenan; furcellaran; and a carrageenan. The shear-thinning fluid gel may comprise a microgel particle forming polymer, suitably selected from one or more of the following groups: gellans; alginates; carrageenans; agarose; chitosan; pectin; agarose; agar or gelatin. The compositions disclosed may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of glaucoma. These compositions may be used for the inhibition or reduction of fibrosis. The invention also relates to the medical uses of sulphated polysaccharides, and the medical uses of shear-thinning fluid gels.
