The granted patent US12064420B2 outlines a method aimed at increasing the area of Schlemm's canal in the eye of a subject requiring such intervention. Central to this method is the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a Tie-2 activator, which is defined by a specific chemical formula. The claims specify that this administration can lead to an increase in the area of Schlemm's canal by at least 12% compared to scenarios where no such activator is administered. Various delivery methods for the Tie-2 activator are described, including unit dosage forms, sustained release formulations, solid hydrophobic polymers, and microparticles. The administration routes can be topical, subcutaneous, or intravitreal, allowing for flexibility in treatment approaches.

Additionally, the patent details the mechanisms by which the Tie-2 activator functions, including its ability to bind to and inhibit HPTPß within the Schlemm's canal. The claims emphasize that the activation of Tie-2 occurs upon administration of the activator, which is crucial for achieving the desired increase in canal area. The increase is quantitatively assessed by comparing the area of the Schlemm's canal at baseline to the area post-administration. This patent presents a novel therapeutic strategy for potentially addressing conditions related to the eye, particularly those affecting intraocular pressure and fluid drainage.
