    • Research progress of β-adrenergic receptor antagonists in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases

      Ocular neovascularization is a pathological change in various ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, central retinal vein occlusion and age-related macular degeneration, which seriously affects patient's vision. β receptors are expressed in conjunctiva, corneal epithelial cells, corneal endothelial cells, extraocular muscles, trabecular meshwork, ciliary muscle, lens and retina. β adrenergic receptor antagonists bind to β receptors to exert anti-angiogenic effects by inhibiting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor-1, interleukin-6 and other angiogenic cytokines; reducing macrophage-related inflammatory response; increasing the expression of anti-angiogenic factors. In the treatment of corneal neovascularization, choroidal neovascularization, and retinopathy of prematurity, it can significantly reduce the area of neovascularization and delay disease progression. Co-administration of anti-VEGF drugs can reduce the frequency of administration of anti-VEGF drugs. At effective therapeutic concentrations, β-adrenergic receptor antagonists are well tolerated; they have broader targets than anti-VEGF drugs, which offers new treatment strategies for ocular neovascularization such as corneal, choroidal and retinal neovascularization.
