title: Effects of interleukin-1 blockers on ophthalmic wound healing in a rabbit model of trabeculectomy.
abstract: A trabeculectomy model was used to test the efficacy of some Interleukin-1 blockers on the modulation of ophthalmic wound healing in the pigmented rabbit. The corticosteroid, methyl prednisolone, was used as a positive control and was effective in prolonging the time to failure of the trabeculectomy by 21%. The experimental compounds CK-17, CK-101A, CK-102 and CK-103A were more efficacious than vehicle control at prolonging the number of days before failure of the trabeculectomy by 55%, 55%, 30% and 79%, respectively. The CK- compounds increased the amount of time before failure of the fistula, with no side effects at the doses tested to date.
