Description |
Optic nerve inflammation, demyelination and axonal loss are all prominent features of optic neuritis. While corticosteroids can hasten visual recovery in optic neuritis, no treatment is available to improve visual outcomes. HE3286, a synthetic derivative of a natural steroid, exerts anti-inflammatory effects in several disease models, and has purported direct neuroprotective effects as well. The ability of HE3286 to suppress optic neuritis in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis was examined. |
