RESUMO
The invigoration of protein and peptides in serious eye disease includes age-related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, retinal neovascularization, and diabetic retinopathy. The transportation of macromolecules like aptamers, recombinant proteins, and monoclonal antibodies to the posterior segment of the eye is challenging due to their high molecular weight, rapid degradation, and low solubility. Moreover, it requires frequent administration for prolonged therapy. The long-acting novel formulation strategies are helpful to overcome these issues and provide superior therapy. It avoids frequent administration, improves stability, high retention time, and avoids burst release. This review briefly enlightens posterior segments of eye diseases with their diagnosis techniques and treatments. This article mainly focuses on recent advanced approaches like intravitreal implants and injectables, electrospun injectables, 3D printed drug-loaded implants, nanostructure thin-film polymer devices encapsulated cell technology-based intravitreal implants, injectable and depots, microneedles, PDS with ranibizumab, polymer nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, hydrogels and microparticles for delivering macromolecules in the eye for intended therapy. Furthermore, novel techniques like aptamer, small Interference RNA, and stem cell therapy were also discussed. It is predicted that these systems will make revolutionary changes in treating posterior segment eye diseases in future.
