| Description | Macugen (pegaptanib) is a modified oligonucleotide that specifically binds to the extracellular VEGF165, and inactivates it. Inhibits the processes of formation and progression of subretinal neovascularization. Selective inhibition of VEGF165 does not lead unlike non selective inhibition, to damage of the physiological vascular structure of the choroid. |
