Cinidium officinale and its Bioactive Compound, Butylidenephthalide, Inhibit Laser-Induced Choroidal Neovascularization in a Rat Model

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a common pathology in age-related macular degeneration. In this study, we evaluated in a rat model the effect of an extract of Cinidium officinale Makino and its bioactive compound, butylidenephthalide, on laser-induced CNV. Experimental CNV was induced in Long-...
