The benefit of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy in treating wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is well established. Identification of VEGFR-2 inhibitors with optimal ADME properties for an ocular indication provides opportunities for dosing routes beyond intravitreal injection. We employed a h...
