Methods And Compositions For Preserving Photoreceptor And Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells
US Patent:
2013013, May 30, 2013
Filed:
Apr 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/642887
Inventors:
Demetrios Vavvas - Boston MA, US
Georgios Trichonas - Boston MA, US
Joan W. Miller - Winchester MA, US
Yusuke Murakami - Newton MA, US

International Classification:
A61K 38/00, A61K 31/40, A61K 31/4178
US Classification:
514 189
Abstract:
Provided are methods and compositions for maintaining the viability of photoreceptor cells and/or retinal pigment epithelial cells in a subject with an ocular disorder including, for example, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (e.g., dry or neovascular AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), or a retinal detachment. The viability of the photoreceptor cells and/or the retinal pigment epithelial cells can be preserved by administering a necrosis inhibitor either alone or in combination with an apoptosis inhibitor to a subject having an eye with the ocular condition. The compositions, when administered, maintain the viability of the cells, thereby minimizing the loss of vision or visual function associated with the ocular disorder.
Methods And Compositions For Preserving Retinal Ganglion Cells
US Patent:
2014002, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:
Oct 21, 2011

International Classification:
A61K 31/4178, A61K 38/00
US Classification:
514 177, 514389
Abstract:
Provided are methods and compositions for maintaining the viability of retinal ganglion cells in a subject with an ocular disorder including, for example, glaucoma and optic nerve injury. The viability of the retinal ganglion cells can be preserved by administering a necrosis inhibitor either alone or in combination with an apoptosis inhibitor to a subject having an eye with the ocular condition. The compositions, when administered, maintain the viability of the cells and/or promote axon regeneration, thereby minimizing the loss of vision or visual function associated with the ocular disorder.
