摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of ophthalmic inflammation and methods of treating ophthalmic inflammation with those compositions are disclosed. The compositions contain a combination of a glucocorticoid and tetrahydrocortisol. The tetrahydrocortisol serves to substantially prevent any significant increases in intraocular pressure which might otherwise be experienced by the patient as a side effect of the glucocorticoid component of the compositions. The therapeutic interaction of the two components therefore allows the potent antiinflammatory properties of the glucocorticoids to be utilized without fear of elevating intraocular pressure. A method of preventing increases in intraocular pressure attributable to systemic or topical corticosteroid therapy is also disclosed. That method involves the administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing tetrahydrocortisol to a patient receiving such therapy.
摘要:
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of connexin 43 (Cx43) in intraocular pressure-related conditions, including ocular hypertension and glaucoma such as normal tension glaucoma and open angle glaucoma.
摘要:
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) by silencing TNFα cell surface receptor TNF receptor-1 (TNFR1) mRNA expression, or by silencing TNFα converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) mRNA expression. Silencing such TNFα targets, in particular, is useful for treating patients having a TNFα-related condition or at risk of developing a TNFα-related condition such as the ocular conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), including glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
摘要:
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of Frizzled Related Protein-1 mRNA expression, in particular, for treating patients having glaucoma or at risk of developing glaucoma.
摘要:
An ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition useful in the treatment of glaucoma and control of intraocular pressure comprising an effective amount of a selective modulator of ALK5 receptor activity is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of treating glaucoma and controlling intraocular pressure comprising applying a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a selective modulator of ALK5 receptor activity to an affected eye of a patient.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating glaucoma, methods for diagnosing glaucoma, and methods for identifying agents which may be useful in the treatment of glaucoma. More specifically, the present invention describes the use of agents that modulate the expression of serum amyloid A.
