Abstract:
A regenerative anti-inflammatory composition is described to include 1 to 2 percent of comenic acid and 0.55 to 1.1 percent of sodium hydrocarbonate in a water solution, with an optional additive of up to 2.5 percent of benzyl-comenic acid. A method of treating a retinal dystrophy by injecting this composition parabulbarly or intravenously in appropriate amounts is also described. A non-peptide nature of the compound allows reducing side effects commonly associated with peptide-based compounds presently used for treatment of such dystrophy. Water-based solution of the composition is stable and amenable for storage in ampoules ready for injection thus obviating a need to make a solution from a powder, which is a common step with current treatment compounds.
