EYE-003 is an orally active RPE65 inhibitor with an IC50 of 102 nM. EYE-003 regulates the visual cycle in mice by reducing 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) (HY-116711) synthesis and increasing all-trans-retinyl esters (atREs). EYE-003 suppresses scotopic ERG b-wave amplitude and exerts protective effects against retinal degeneration in Abca4⁻/⁻ Rdh8⁻/⁻ mice (a STGD1 model) by reducing retinal autofluorescent puncta and preserving outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness in a dose-dependent manner. EYE-003 can be used for the study of visual cycle-associated retinopathies, such as Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1).

Description

EYE-003 is an orally active RPE65 inhibitor with an IC50 of 102 nM. EYE-003 regulates the visual cycle in mice by reducing 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) (HY-116711) synthesis and increasing all-trans-retinyl esters (atREs). EYE-003 suppresses scotopic ERG b-wave amplitude and exerts protective effects against retinal degeneration in Abca4⁻/⁻ Rdh8⁻/⁻ mice (a STGD1 model) by reducing retinal autofluorescent puncta and preserving outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness in a dose-dependent manner. EYE-003 can be used for the study of visual cycle-associated retinopathies, such as Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1)[1].

In Vitro

EYE-003 (0.1-10 μM) inhibits RPE65 activity in bovine RPE microsomes with an IC50 of 102 nM[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

EYE-003 (10 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min pre-photobleach, 2 h dark recovery) reduces 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) synthesis and increases all-trans-retinyl esters (atREs) in BALB/cJ mice[1].
EYE-003 (10 mg/kg, i.p., 0.5-4 h post-administration, 2 h dark recovery after photobleach) restores 11cRAL and atREs levels to vehicle group levels at 4 h post-administration in BALB/cJ mice[1].
EYE-003 (10 mg/kg, oral gavage, 30 min pre-photobleach, 2 h dark recovery) significantly suppresses both scotopic ERG a-wave and b-wave amplitudes in BALB/cJ mice[1].
EYE-003 (10 mg/kg, i.p. or i.g. , 30 min pre-light exposure, single dose) reduces retinal autofluorescent puncta and homogeneous lipofuscin autofluorescence, and preserves outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness in Abca4⁻/⁻ Rdh8⁻/⁻ mice[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
