The present invention concerns the use of compounds that interfere with the hedgehog signaling pathway for the manufacture of a medicament for preventing, inhibiting, and / or reversing ocular diseases related with ocular neovascularization. Particularly, the above-mentioned diseases are (wet) age-related macular degeneration, (proliferative) diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, retinal vein occlusion, or retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Indazole compounds that modulate and / or inhibit the activity of certain protein kinases are described. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating tyrosine kinase signal transduction and thereby modulate and / or inhibit unwanted cell proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and to methods of treating cancer and other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and / or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.

Indazole compounds that modulate and / or inhibit the ophthalmic diseases and the activity of certain protein kinases are described. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating tyrosine kinase signal transduction and thereby modulate and / or inhibit unwanted cell proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and to methods of treating ophthalmic diseases and cancer and other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and / or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.

3-[(3S,4R)-3-methyl-6-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,6-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-1-yl]-3-oxopropanenitrile suppresses increases in retinal blood vessel permeability induced by VEGF and therefore can be used as an active component in therapeutic agents or prophylactic agents for a variety of ocular diseases to which VEGF contributes, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, neovascular maculopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and neovascular glaucoma.

The invention relates to a stainless steel device for permanent insertion into the sclerocorneal limbus, with different drainage and anchorage systems, enabling the aqueous humour to discharge through one or more virtual spaces from the anterior chamber to an intrascleral space in cases of simple glaucoma or to the equatorial episclera in cases of complex glaucoma, such as neovascular glaucoma. The space is virtual, not real, as in the case of the tubular device. It enables the aqueous humour to discharge slowly and continuously, minimizing the possibility of the chamber being flat or of germs penetrating through the device. Furthermore, the anchorage system is less aggressive, thus reducing the possibility of bleeding.

Indazole compounds that modulate and / or inhibit cell proliferation, such as the activity of protein kinases are described. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating, e.g., kinases-dependent diseases to modulate and / or inhibit unwanted cell proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and to methods of treating cancer as well as other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and / or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.

The invention provides a biological retina, which is applied to tissue repair in the field of ophthalmological department. The tissue repair includes glaucoma trabeculectomy, a neovascular glaucoma surgery, uveitic glaucoma, a pterygium surgery, a strabismus surgery, a nasolacrimal duct operation, an orbital surgery, an ocular plastic surgery, a conjunctival scar tissue reconstruction surgery, a burn repair surgery and a corneal ulcer surgery; and the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a high-purity type I collagen and glacial acetic acid water solution according to a preset proportion and emulsifying; and vacuumizing the emulsified slurry and freeze-drying the slurry so as to obtain a collagen film having a three-dimensional porous structure. The biological retina disclosed by the invention has beneficial effects that the prepared biological retina, which takes the collagen, as a major ingredient, is good in biocompatibility and biodegradability and is capable of controlling an inflammatory reaction; the high-purity collagen is free from antigenicity and repellency; by virtue of the three-dimensional porous structure, the random and discrete hyperplasia of fibroblasts is guided; and the biological retina can inhibit conjunctival scars and conjunctival contraction, and can keep normal intraocular pressure.

RNA interference is provided for inhibition of IGF1R mRNA expression for treating patients with ocular angiogenesis, particularly for treating retinal edema, diabetic retinopathy, sequela associated with retinal ischemia, posterior segment neovascularization (PSNV), and neovascular glaucoma, and for treating patients at risk of developing such conditions.
