描述
Brolucizumab is a humanized single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) targeting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). It is used in ophthalmological research to study mechanisms of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and retinal vascular permeability.
Beovu delivers high molar concentration of anti-VEGF activity in a compact 27.6mg/0.23ml dosage form, enabling researchers to model retinal neovascularization, angiogenesis inhibition, and anti-VEGF pathways in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

Mechanism & Research Applications
Brolucizumab binds VEGF-A with high affinity, preventing interaction with VEGF receptors on endothelial cells, thereby suppressing angiogenesis and vascular leakage. It enables researchers to investigate:
-
Pathogenesis and treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD)
-
Experimental retinal angiogenesis models
-
Comparative efficacy of anti-VEGF agents
-
VEGF pathway inhibition and downstream signaling
-
Ocular pharmacokinetics of antibody fragments
Observed Effects in Research Models
In preclinical studies, Brolucizumab has shown:
-
Potent inhibition of neovascularization
-
Reduction in retinal thickness and fluid accumulation
-
Minimal systemic exposure due to small molecular size
-
Transient inflammation in animal eye models (dose-dependent)
Appropriate research protocols and animal care guidelines should be followed.
