Background

Anecortave acetate (Retaane) is an analog of cortisol acetate; among the modifications to the steroid are the removal of the 11ß hydroxyl OH group and an addition of a 21-acetate group. As a result of these modifications, anecortave acetate lacks the typical antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive properties of glucocorticoids.Alcon Inc. is developing and marketing Retaane.
