Title:
CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION SUPPRESSOR OR DRUSEN FORMATION SUPPRESSOR, AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING OR SCREENING FOR SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/104833
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The existing therapeutic agents for CNV are only medicines for symptomatic therapies, and therefore a radical therapeutic agent for CNV has been keenly demanded. There is no therapeutic agent for Dry AMD, and therefore a radical therapeutic agent for Dry AMD has been keenly demanded. The present invention provides a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for choroidal neovascularization, which contains a compound having an activity of suppressing the epithelial mesenchymal transition of a retinal pigment epithelial cell as an active ingredient. The present invention also provides a drusen formation suppressor, which contains a compound having an activity of suppressing the epithelial mesenchymal transition of a retinal pigment epithelial cell as an active ingredient.
