Abstract

Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of severe visual loss in elderly people. The treatments for dry AMD (dAMD) are severely limited so far. In this work, we aim to develop an eye drop to protect retinal functions against oxidative stress and apoptosis for improving dAMD management. Methods Astragaloside-IV (ASIV) was prepared into phospholipid complex and loaded into three sizes (20, 50 and 90 nm) of ASIV lipid nanocapsules (ASIV-LNCs). The penetration and distribution of LNCs were investigated. DAMD mice model was induced by NaIO3, and therapeutic effect was evaluated by electroretinography (ERG), histological examination, apoptosis and ROS detection. Results The ocular penetration and pharmacokinetic studies corroborated the feasibility of the LNCs to reach the fundus, and ultra-small-size LNCs (ASIV-LNCs-20) had the best delivery effect. ASIV-LNCs-20 was able to decrease ROS production and reduce the apoptosis rate from 5.12% to 0.533%. ERG and H&E staining results confirmed ASIV-LNCs-20 had a good protective effect on the morphology and function of the retina. Conclusions These results suggest that ASIV-LNCs can be a promising therapy approach for dAMD, and this research also offers new possib...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
