The present disclosure relates to the treatment of eye conditions, by inhibiting Chk2 kinase. Particular ocular conditions may be associated with neuronal damage/dysfunction in the eye, or neurons in communication with the eye, which may result from, physical trauma, chemical means, infection, inflammation, hypoxia and/or interruption in blood supply, or be due to a neurodegenerative disorder and/or autoimmune disease. The Chk2 inhibitor may be a small molecule, protein, peptide or nucleic acid. Exemplary small molecule Chk2 inhibitors include PV1019, AZD7762, CCT241533, BML-277 or prexasertib. |
