摘要:
Antagonists of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor-II receptor are provided for attenuation of CTGF signaling in a method of down-regulation of receptor signaling and downstream decreased signaling of connective tissue growth factor in ocular disorders involving inappropriate CTGF signaling. Ocular disorders involving inappropriate CTGF signaling include ocular hypertension, glaucoma, glaucomatous retinopathy, optic neuropathy, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy, for example. Such disorders are treated by administering antagonists of the present invention.
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 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.
摘要:
The invention concerns in one embodiment a method of treating glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a composition comprising at least one prenyltransferase inhibitor. In another embodiment, the invention concerns a composition for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of a prenyltransferase inhibitor.
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.

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.
摘要:
The use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g., statins) to treat glaucoma, control intraocular pressure, preserve the trabecular meshwork, protect against ocular neurodegeneration and/or protect against glaucomatous retinopathy is described. The preferred HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, which are statins having an RI value of 0.2 to 0.7 (e.g., pravastatin), are administered via topical application to the affected eye(s) of the patient.
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 activity. In a preferred embodiment, the agent that modulates PAI-1 expression and/or activity is cilostazol or an analog or metabolite of cilostazol.
摘要:
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of ocular hypertension target mRNA expression for lowering elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Ocular hypertension targets include carbonic anhydrase II, IV, and XII; β1- and β2 adrenergic receptors; acetylcholinesterase; Na+/K+-ATPase; and Na—K-2Cl cotransporter. Ocular hypertension is treated by administering interfering RNAs of the present invention.
