Abstract

A method and composition for altering a plausible sequence of pathological events in retinal ganglion cells associated with glaucoma, the sequence including membrane depolarization, influx of millimolar amounts of Na+ via non-inactivating Na+ channels, and the lethal elevation of cell Ca2+ due to reversal of the Na+ exchanger. The method includes blocking, by administration of a selected composition, of associated, non-inactivating Na+ channels in retinal ganglion cells in order to limit Na+/Ca2+ exchange in the retinal ganglion cells and prevent buildup of the Ca2+ level in the retinal ganglion cells to a lethal level. The results in a method of preventing retinal ganglion cell death, associated with glaucoma, by administering to the optic nerve of a mammal, a compound which blocks the non-inactivating sodium ion channels of the optic nerve. Alternately, said invention relates to a method of preventing optic retinal ganglion cell death in a human by administering to the retinal ganglion cells of said human a compound which blocks the non-inactivating sodium ion channel of the retinal ganglion cells.

Claims

17 AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 22 September 1998 (22.09.98); original claims 1-10 replaced by new claims 1-10 (2 pages)]
1. The use of a sodium blocker in the manufacture of a medicament for maintaining normal intracellular Na and Ca in ganglion cells following a period of anoxia, the sodium blocker comprising a composition for blocking of noninactivating calcium channel activity in the retinal ganglion neuronal cells.
2. The use according to claim 1 wherein the composition for blocking non-inactivating sodium channels is selected from the group comprising of benzothialzole riluzole, lubelezole, phenyl benzothiozole and lifarizine.
3. The use according to claim 2 wherein the composition having noninactivating sodium channel blocking activity comprises an antiarrhythmic agent.
4. The use according to claim 1 wherein the composition comprises an ophthalmic solution adapted for administration to the eye of a mammal in the form of intracameral injection.
5. The use of a sodium blocker in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing retinal ganglion cell death, associated with glaucoma, in the eye of a mammal, the composition comprising as its active ingredient one or more compounds having noninactivating sodium channel blocking activity.
6. The use according to claim 5 wherein the compound having noninactivating sodium channel blocking activity is selected from the group consisting of benzothialzole riluzole, lubelezole, phenyl benzothiozole and lifarizine.
7. The use according to claim 5 where the composition is an ophthalmic solution, adapted for administration to 18
the eye of a mammal in the form of an intracameral injection.
8. The use of a sodium blocker in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing retinal ganglion cell death, associated with glaucoma, in an animal of the mammalian species, including humans, the sodium blocker pharmaceutical composition which comprises as its active ingredient one or more compounds having noninactivating sodium channel blocking activity.
9. The use of a sodium blocker in the manufacture of a medicament for providing neuroprotective effect to retinal ganglion cells in the eye of a human, the sodium blocker comprising a pharmaceutical composition which comprises as its active ingredient one or more compounds having noninactivating sodium channel blocking activity.
10. The use according to claim 9 wherein the compound having non-inactivating sodium channel blocking activity is selected from the group consisting of benzothialzole riluzole, lubelezole, phenyl benzothiozole and lifarizine.
