Wet age-related macular degeneration (Wet AMD) is the main cause of visual dysfunction and blindness in the elderly. Currently, intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs has become the first-line treatment for the disease, but current anti-VEGF drugs still have many shortcomings, such as frequent injections with multiple potential risks, insensitive reactions in some patients, and low patient compliance. Therefore, it is urgent to find new therapeutic drugs. With the deepening of the understanding of pathological mechanisms, the emergence of multi-target small molecule drugs has opened up a new path for the treatment of this disease. Compared with the traditional approach of only inhibiting VEGF, these small molecules are expected to provide new opportunities for improving efficacy, reducing treatment burden and delaying drug resistance by intervening in multiple links such as angiogenesis, inflammation and oxidative stress. AMD, The third leading cause of blindness worldwide Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an age-related, chronically ...
