[CAS NO. 1014691-61-2]  GSK0660

GSK0660 is rapidly cleared and does not accumulate in the blood in vivo. GSK0660 is efficacious against retinal NV when administered by IVIT or IP injection. Intravitreal injection has the advantages of producing high levels of drug at active sites of neovascular disease, but deleterious side effects are associated with this route of drug administration, including endophthalmitis, cataractogenesis, and glaucoma. Systemic administration could avoid these side effects, but it is hampered by the need for repeated dosing to obtain target concentrations of active drug in diseased tissues. It also needlessly exposes disease-free organs and tissues to active drug.
