Small organic molecules that increase the activity of gelatinase a in ocular cells

摘要

Small organic molecules capable of effecting a "pharmacological trabeculocanalotomy" in an eye by means of reducing juxtacanalicular meshwork as a barrier to outflow of aqueous. The small organic molecules increase Gelatinase A activity in ocular cells by increasing cell membrane expression of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) to increase aqueous outflow as a treatment for primary open angle glaucoma.
