  • Patent number: 7087237
    Abstract: Containing at least one macrolide antibiotic and/or mycophenolic acid provide anti-inflammatory, anti-cell proliferation, anti-cell migration, anti-angiogenesis, antimicrobial, and antifungal effects. In one embodiment, the solution is administered intraocularly after cataract surgery before insertion of a replacement intraocular lens, resulting in reduced posterior capsular opacification which may eliminate the need for a subsequent surgery. The solution may be one that is invasively administered, for example, an irrigation or volume replacement solution containing at least one macrolide antibiotic such as tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus, cyclosporine, and ascomycin, or mycophenolic acid. The solution may be one that is non-invasively or topically administered in the form of drops, ointments, gels, creams, etc. and may include eye lubricants and contact lens solutions.

  • Patent number: 7083802
    Abstract: A formulation to treat ocular conditions such as dry eye disease, as well as other conditions, is disclosed. Rapamycin and/or ascomycin is administered intraocularly, such as by topical application, injection into the eye, or implantation in or on the eye. For example, a topical administration may contain between about 50 pg/ml drug to about 50 ?g/ml drug in a formulation which may be applied at bedtime or throughout the day. For injection, a dose of about 50 pg/ml to about 200 ?g/ml may be used. Rapamycin and/or ascomycin may also be administered in milligram quantities as a surgical implant, for example, in a diffusible walled reservoir sutured to the wall of the sclera, or may be contained within an inert carrier such as microspheres or liposomes to provide a slow-release drug delivery system.
