Delivery of Topically Applied Calpain Inhibitory Peptide to the Posterior Segment of the Rat Eye.

We developed an inhibitory peptide that specifically acts against mitochondrial μ-calpain (Tat-μCL, 23 amino acid, 2857.37 Da) and protects photoreceptors in retinal dystrophic rats. In the present study, we topically administered Tat-μCL to the eyes of Sprague-Dawley rats for 7 days to determine bo...
