PROPHYLACTIC OR THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR RETINAL DISEASES COMPRISING POLYALKYLENE GLYCOL AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT
摘要
<p>The object aims to search novel applications of a polyalkylene glycol for medical purposes. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) inhibits photoreceptor cell death in light-induced damage model mice and rats. This means that a polyalkylene glycol such as PEG can prevent retinal disorders. Therefore, a polyalkylene glycol is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for retinal diseases (including retinal disorders caused by ophthalmic surgery).</p>
