Abstract
The present disclosure relates to modified nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), such as and compositions thereof, as well as methods useful for treating retinal damage and/or retinal degradation/retinal degeneration, for inhibiting inflammasome activation by Alu RNA associated with a cell, for reducing ATP-induced permeability of a cell, for reducing an amount of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in a cell, and for reducing an amount of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in a cell. The present disclosure further relates to modified NRTIs and compositions thereof, as well as methods for use in protecting an RPE cell and/or for treating, including prophylactic and therapeutic treatment, of conditions associated with retinal damage and/or degradation including, but not limited to, dry age related macular degeneration (AMD) and wet AMD, Alzheimer disease, various forms of arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
