Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc., an ophthalmology research and development company, recently declared positive results from their preclinical study of investigating its proprietary SKS release technology. SKS sustained release technology was specifically designed for developing enhanced drug formulations for ocular diseases. Animal models were used to identify and evaluate ophthalmic compounds, where it was proved that supratherapeutic levels of activated drugs can be achieved for ocular tissues. This announcement was made by Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc., in a conference held in New York, in December 2015. The observations demonstrated a prolonged pharmacokinetic profile. The findings from the experiment are to be presented at a science conference in 2016.

As per the medical professionals at Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc., the findings from the experiment serve as an important validation for SKS sustained release technology, as it holds promise to improve the standards of care in ocular conditions by enabling better administration of drugs at regular treatment intervals. At Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc., the lead product, Squalamine, is currently being examined and prepared to be used as an eye drop formulation in several investigator-sponsored clinical trials. Squalamine is meant to cure many back-of-the-eye diseases such as wet-AMD, diabetic macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.
