The inhibition of corneal vascularization with aortic extracts in rabbits

The inhibition of corneal vascularization with aortic extracts in rabbits

R Eisenstein et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

A low molecular weight fraction of bovine aortic extract inhibited corneal vascularization and edema in rabbits when administered either subconjunctivally or topically as long as 48 hours after injury. The extract also appeared to enhance the regression of newly formed corneal vessels. Topical administration for as long as two months had no deleterious ocular side effects. Tissue culture experiments showed that analagous fractions prepared from bovine vitreous inhibit endothelial cell growth. The major growth inhibitor of corneal neovascularization was not the Kunitz bovine protease inhibitor.
