Reduction of frequent intravitreal administrations may be accomplished with delivery systems that provide sustained drug release. Pullulan-dexamethasone conjugates were developed to achieve prolonged intravitreal drug release. Accordingly, dexamethasone was conjugated to similar to 67 kDa pullulan through hydrazone bond, which was previously found ...
