The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating eye diseases, comprising, as an
active ingredient, a
fusion protein in which a tissue-penetrating
peptide and an anti-
vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) preparation are fused. More particularly, the present invention relates to: a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating eye diseases, comprising, as an
active ingredient, a
fusion protein in which a tissue-penetrating
peptide and an anti-VEGF preparation are fused; a method for prepraring an anti-VEGF preparation, which overcomes resistance and has an improved
efficacy, the method comprising the steps of transforming a host
cell with a recombinant vector comprising a
nucleic acid sequence encoding a
fusion protein in which a tissue-penetrating
peptide and an anti-VEGF preparation are fused, culturing the
cell, and recovering a fusion
protein from the
cell; a method for treating eye diseases, comprising administering an effective
dose of the fusion
protein according to the present invention to a subject in need thereof; and use of the fusion
protein according to the present invention for preparing an agent for treating eye diseases. Compared to conventional anti-VEGF preparations, the composition according to the present invention is considered to have an improved
efficacy and be able to be used for treating patients having
drug resistance, by inhibiting various growth factors related to new blood vessels, besides VEGF, and by decreasing
pericyte coverage. In addition, since
drug delivery ability into the
choroid tissue is improved when performing an intraocular injection, the composition can be developed as eye drops by reducing an administered dosage or extending an administration cycle, and by improving ocular penetrability.
