ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

to determine the functional and morphological effects at rabbits retina of PS80 concentration used in the preparation of intravitreal drugs.

Methods:

eleven New Zealand rabbits received a intravitreal injection of 0.1ml of PS80. As control, the contralateral eye of each rabbit received the same volume of saline. Electroretinography was performed according to a modified protocol, as well as biomicroscopy and retina mapping before injection and seven and ten days after. Animals were euthanized in the 30th day and the retinas were analyzed by light microscopy.

Results:

eyes injected with PS80 did not present clinical signs of intraocular inflammation. Electroretinography did not show any alteration of extent and implicit time of a and b waves at scotopic and photopic conditions. There were no morphological alterations of retinas at light microscopy.

Conclusion:

intravitreal injection of PS80 in the used concentration for intravitreal drug preparations do not cause any functional or morphological alterations of rabbit retinas. These results suggest that PS80 is not toxic to rabbit retinas and may be safely used in the preparation of new lipophilic drugs for intravitreal injection.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

determinar os efeitos funcionais e morfológicos na retina de coelhos da concentração de PS80 utilizada na preparação de drogas intravítreas.

Métodos:

onze coelhos New Zealand receberam injeção intravítrea de 0,1ml de PS80. Como controle, o olho contralateral de cada coelho recebeu o mesmo volume de soro fisiológico. Foram realizados eletrorretinogramas de acordo com o protocolo modificado, biomicroscopia e mapeamento de retina antes da injeção, sete e dez dias depois. Os animais foram sacrificados no 30o dia e as retinas analisadas por microscopia de luz.

Resultados:

os olhos injetados com PS80 não apresentaram sinais clínicos de inflamação intraocular. O eletrorretinograma não apresentou alteração de amplitude e tempo implícito das ondas a e b nas condições escotópica e fotópica. Não houve alteração morfológica da retina na microscopia de luz.

Conclusão:

a injeção intravítrea de PS80 na concentração utilizada na preparação de drogas intravítreas não causa alterações funcionais e morfológicas na retina de coelhos. Esses resultados sugerem que o PS80 não é tóxico para a retina de coelhos e pode ser usado com segurança na preparação de novas drogas lipofílicas para injeção intravítrea.
