Method for treating ophthalmic diseases using kinase inhibitor compounds in prodrug forms

This invention is directed to prodrugs of rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors. These prodrugs are in general the ester or the amide derivatives of the parent compounds. These prodrugs are often weak inhibitors of ROCK, but their parent compounds have good activities. Upon instillation into the eyes, the ester or the amide group of these prodrugs is rapidly hydrolyzed into alcohol, amine, or acid, and the prodrugs are converted into the active base compounds. The prodrugs of ROCK inhibitors provide several advantages such as delivery of higher concentrations of the active species into the target site and reduction of ocular discomfort. The invention is also directed to a method of treating ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis, macular edema, macular degeneration, and blepharitis, by administering an effective amount of a ROCK prodrug compound of Formula I to the eyes of the patient in need of.

Self-Warming Hands Free Eye Compress

Warm compresses are the most widely prescribed effective medical therapy for several common eye conditions namely dry eye syndrome, blepharitis and chalazia. These problems are caused by blockage of natural oil flow through pores located behind the eyelashes (meibomian glands). Warm compresses open these pores and restores normal flow of natural oils to the eye surface; these oils moisturize the eye by preventing evaporation of tears from the eye surface. The novel aspects of this invention that make it unique include the ability to generate long lasting, self-perpetuating moist heat, with hands free convenience. By allowing patients to continue to work, play, read or watch television while receiving the therapeutic benefits of a moist warm compress this invention is highly likely to increase compliance and improve quality of life for millions of patients with these common and highly troublesome eye conditions.
