THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR CORNEAL/CONJUCTIVAL DISEASE

摘要

The object is to discover a novel use of eprosartan or a salt thereof. Eprosartan or a salt thereof shows excellent ameliorating activity in a corneal disorder model, and therefore is useful as a therapeutic agent for a corneal/conjunctival disorder such as dry eye, corneal ulcer, keratitis, conjunctivitis, superficial punctuate keratopathy, corneal epithelial defect, conjunctival epithelial defect, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis and filamentary keratitis.
