摘要:
Compositions and methods for lowering IOP and/or providing neuroprotection are disclosed. The compositions and methods are particularly directed to the use inhibitors of Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) to lower IOP and/or provide neuroprotection.
摘要:
The invention concerns in one embodiment a method for treating glaucoma or elevated IOP in a patient comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that modulates PAI-1 binding to vitronectin. In another embodiment, the invention concerns a method of manufacturing a compound to be used as a treatment for glaucoma or elevated IOP comprising providing a candidate substance suspected of modulating PAI-1 binding, selecting the compound by assessing the ability of the candidate substance to decrease the amount of active PAI-1 in the trabecular meshwork of a subject suffering from glaucoma or elevated PAI-1, and manufacturing the selected compound.
摘要:
Antagonists of S1P3 (Edg-3) receptors are provided for attenuation of Smad signaling in a method of down-regulation of receptor signaling and downstream decreased production of connective tissue growth factor in ocular disorders involving CTGF accumulation. Ocular disorders involving inappropriate CTGF accumulation include ocular hypertension, glaucoma, glaucomatous retinopathy, optic neuropathy, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and ocular wound healing, for example. Such disorders are treated by administering antagonists of the present invention.
摘要:
The invention concerns in one embodiment a method for treating glaucoma or elevated IOP in a patient comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that inhibits PAI-1 expression or PAI-1 activity. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method of treating a PAI-1-associated ocular disorder in a subject in need, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that inhibits PAI-1 activity or expression.
