Abstract
The invention provides peptide derivatives designed to deliver peptides having growth factor inhibitory activity, especially somatostatin analogs, to the retina by sequential metabolism. The peptide derivatives, which comprise a dihydropyridine⇄pyridinium salt-type redox targetor moiety, a bulky lipophilic function and an amino acid/dipeptide/tripeptide spacer, are used in the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
