Preclinical candidates include SB-267268, AXT-107, JNJ-26076713, Cilengitide and Lebecetin, which exhibit a decrease in retinal permeability, angiogenesis and/or choroidal neovascularization (CNV)...Anti-integrin agents tackle the multi-factorial nature of DR and AMD and show promise as injectable and topical agents in preclinical and early clinical studies. Integrin inhibition has potential to serve as primary therapy, adjunctive therapy to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, or secondary therapy in refractory cases.

Journal: A collagen IV-derived peptide disrupts α5β1 integrin and potentiates Ang2-Tie2 signaling. (Pubmed Central) - May 13, 2020 The potentiation of Tie2 activation by Ang2 even extended in to mouse models in which AXT107 induced Tie2 phosphorylation in a model of hypoxia and inhibited vascular leakage in an Ang2-overexpression transgenic model and an LPS-induced inflammation model. Since Ang2 levels are very high in ischemic diseases, such as diabetic macular edema, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, uveitis, and cancer, targeting α5β1 with AXT107 provides a novel and potentially more effective approach to treat these diseases.
