- W2956109721 abstract "Intraocular neovascularization is directly related with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Anti-VEGF agents are the gold standard treatment of retinal and choroidal neovascularization. Curcumin is a natural compound, and it is a promising therapeutic agent to ocular disorders due to anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties, previously reported in literature (Beavers & Huang 2011; Aldebasi et al. 2013). Also, it has been reported as a therapeutic agent because of its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic effect (Mrudula et al. 2007; Beavers & Huang 2011; Zhang et al. 2015). However, few studies of natural compounds with antiangiogenic effect in retinal diseases are available. In this letter, we will discuss the antiangiogenic effect of intravitreal curcumin in different concentrations in an experimental model of retinal neovascularization using VEGF 165 in six male-pigmented rabbits (chinchilla breed) using anterior biomicroscopy, fundus exam, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FA), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and full-field electroretinography (ERG) at baseline, week 1 and week 2. Retinal neovascularization was confirmed by FA leakage of retina vessels after 1 week. One group received 0.1 mg intravitreal curcumin and the other received 0.3 mg intravitreal curcumin. At week two, rabbits were euthanized and all eyes were sent to histological evaluation after enucleation. The intraocular curcumin injection decreased neovascularization partially with persistent capillary tortuosity in the 0.1 mg curcumin group and complete regression of neovascularization with no persistent capillary tortuosity in the 0.3 mg group (Fig. 1). There was no alteration on SD-OCT and ERG in both groups, and no toxicity was noticed in the histopathology (Fig. 1). Intravitreal injection of curcumin in rabbits caused reduction of retinal neovascularization, especially with 0.3 mg dose of curcumin. However, persistent vascular tortuosity was still present in the animals that received the 0.1 mg of intravitreal curcumin (lower dose). We believe that a higher dose of intravitreal curcumin may be more effective to decrease retinal neovascularization and restore anatomical changes in vasculature. A few studies in literature have shown curcumin antiangiogenic effect such as in corneal neovascularization after 7 days of topical treatment (Pradhan et al. 2015). However, due to a small number of eyes were studied and the short period of time (14 days), further studies must be conducted to confirm these findings. In addition, the specific anti-VEGF mechanism of curcumin is still unclear." @default.
