N2 - PURPOSE: To evaluate the angiogenic inhibitory effects of an alpha(v)beta(3)/alpha(v)beta(5) integrin antagonist, EMD478761, released from a polymeric implant in a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and laser-induced experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in rats. METHODS: Polyvinyl alcohol-based reservoir implants releasing EMD478761 were designed for placement onto a CAM or intravitreally in rats. In vitro release rates of the implants were measured using HPLC. Angiogenesis was induced on 10-day-old chick embryos by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and areas of neovascularization were measured. Experimental CNV was induced in the Brown-Norway rat with a diode laser. EMD478761 or sham microimplants were placed within the vitreous chamber of Brown-Norway rats. Two weeks later, areas of CNV were determined by FITC-dextran staining of choroidal flatmounts. RESULTS: Sustained delivery of EMD478761 significantly inhibited bFGF-induced angiogenesis in CAM, as determined by a reduction in angiogenesis areas, without drug toxicity to the normal CAM vasculature. In an experimental rat model, intravitreal EMD478761 implants significantly suppressed laser-induced CNV compared with intravitreal sham implants, with the mean area reduced by 63% (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Sustained delivery of EMD478761demonstrates potent antiangiogenic properties in vivo. These results suggest that an EMD478761 implant may be beneficial in the treatment of neovascular ocular diseases.
