摘要:
The present invention provides a method for lowering intraocular pressure and providing neuroprotection to a patient in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one non-nucleotide or non-protein agent that inhibits expression and/or signaling of lysyl oxidase (LOX) or a lysyl oxidase-like protease (LOXL).
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:
Methods for using aminopyrazine analogs to treat rho kinase-mediated diseases or rho kinase-mediated conditions, including controlling intraocular pressure and treating glaucoma, are disclosed. Ophthalmic pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of eye diseases such as glaucoma, and additionally useful for controlling intraocular pressure, the compositions comprising an effective amount of aminopyrazine analogs, are also disclosed.
摘要:
Compositions containing DP-agonist and FP-agonists prostaglandin agonists and methods of their use in treating glaucoma or ocular hypertension are disclosed.
摘要:
The invention is directed to the use of .omega.-conotoxins for the prevention and treatment of retinal or optic nerve head damage in humans. Compositions and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds and methods which may be useful as inhibitors of H1R and/or H4R for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory, autoimmune, allergic, and ocular diseases.
摘要:
A new method of evaluating the ability of drug molecules to penetrate the cornea is described. The permeation rate of the drug molecules in MDCK cells is utilized to predict the ability of the molecules to penetrate the cornea. The method is useful for in vitro screening of potential new ophthalmic drugs, as well as in the design of new drug molecules for topical ocular administration.
摘要:
Novel benzopyran analogs are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for the lowering and controlling of normal or elevated intraocular pressure as well as a method for the treatment of glaucoma using compositions containing one or more of the compounds of the present invention.
