ANTICOAGULANT COMPOUNDS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR OPHTHALMIC USE
Devices, formulations, compositions, and methods are provided for inhibiting an inflammatory ophthalmic disease or eye condition in a patient. A therapeutic composition comprising a direct factor Xa inhibitor and/or a direct factor II inhibitor is provided. A therapeutically effective dose of the therapeutic composition is delivered to a site of the inflammatory ophthalmic disease or condition in the patient’s eye(s). The therapeutic composition may be formulated for delivery to the patient by via injection, an implant, an eye drop, an emulsion, a suspension, an ointment, a nanomicelle, a nanoparticle, a nanosuspension, a liposome, an in-situ gel, a contact lens, or a microneedle or the like. The therapeutic composition may include one or more additional therapeutically active substances and/or one or more additional pharmaceutical agents. The one or more additional therapeutically active substances and/or one or more additional pharmaceutical agents may be delivered together with the direct factor Xa inhibitor and/or direct factor IIa inhibitor, or separately from the direct factor Xa inhibitor and/or direct factor IIa inhibitor.

Peptide directed protein knockdown
In one aspect, the invention provides a peptide comprising a chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)-targeting signal domain; a protein-binding domain that selectively binds to a target cytosolic protein; and a cell membrane penetrating domain (CMPD). In another aspect, the invention provides methods for reducing the intracellular expression level of an endogenous target protein in vitro and in an animal, wherein the method involves administration of the peptide. Methods are also provided for treating a pathological condition in an animal, the methods comprising administering the peptide to the animal. In one embodiment, the pathological condition is a neurodegenerative disease. In another embodiment of the invention, the target cytosolic protein is death associated protein kinase I and the CMPD is protein transduction domain of the HIV-1 Tat protein.
