Phosphosulindac is efficacious in an improved concanavalin A-based rabbit model of chronic dry eye disease.
    Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 2018, Volume: 198

    Dry eye disease (DED) currently has no satisfactory treatment partly because of the lack of informative animal models. We evaluated the anti-inflammatory phosphosulindac (PS) for the treatment of DED using a new rabbit model of DED based on the concanavalin A (Con A) acute DED model: we injected all lacrimal glands with Con A weekly under ultrasound guidance, which prolonged DED to >3 weeks, and thoroughly assessed efficacy with tear break-up time (TBUT), tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, and tear lactoferrin levels. Rabbits with DED (n = 8-10 eyes per group) were treated topically with PS or vehicle 3×/day for 21days. PS restored TBUT, tear osmolarity, and lactoferrin levels (P < 0.0001-0.04) to normal but did not significantly improve the results of the Schirmer test. PS showed no side effects and was much more efficacious than cyclosporine or lifitegrast. In the cornea, PS suppressed the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B, the levels of transforming growth factor beta, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, and the levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-9, and MMP activity. Levels of prostaglandin E
