[Kinetics of uptake of Pherajod by the rabbit eye].

The aqueous humor and lenses of rabbit eyes contain inhibitors of photodynamic destructions. Preparations of vitreous, however, more likely seem to contain stimulatory compounds. The anticataractic drug Pherajod significantly blocks the photodynamic formation of destructive oxygen species. Inhibition by 65% of photodynamic destructions, measured as ethylene release from S-methyl-a-ketobutyric acid in the riboflavin-driven oxygen photoactivation, is observed with aqueous humor preparations isolated 5 min after start of incubation of rabbit eyes in Pherajod solution.
