EYE-002
EYE-002 is a RPE65 inhibitor with an IC50 of 69 nM. EYE-002 promotes recovery of scotopic ERG a-/b-wave amplitudes. EYE-002 regulates the visual cycle in mice by reducing 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) (HY-116711) synthesis and increasing all-trans-retinyl esters (atREs). EYE-002 exerts protective effects against photic retinal damage in mice. EYE-002 can be used for the study of visual cycle-associated retinopathies, such as Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1).

Biological Activity
EYE-002 (0.1-10 μM) inhibits RPE65 activity in bovine RPE microsomes with an IC50 of 69 nM[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
EYE-002 (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].
