Use of novel lipid mediators to inhibit angiogenesis

A method to treat or prevent hemangiogenesis, comprising the step of treating corneal tissue with compound comprising the formula:

• wherein a bond depicted as represents either a cis or trans double bond;
• each P1, P2 and P3, individually are protecting groups, hydrogen atoms or combinations thereof;
• Z is —C(O)ORd, —C(O)NRcRc, —C(O)H, —C(NH)NRcRc, —C(S)H, —C(S)ORd, —C(S)NRcRc, —CN;
• each Ra, if present, is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C1-C6) alkyl, (C3-C8) cycloalkyl, cyclohexyl, (C4-C11) cycloalkylalkyl, (C5-C10) aryl, phenyl, (C6-C16) arylalkyl, benzyl, 2-6 membered heteroalkyl, 3-8 membered cycloheteroalkyl, morpholinyl, piperazinyl, homopiperazinyl, piperidinyl, 4-11 membered cycloheteroalkylalkyl, 5-10 membered heteroaryl and 6-16 membered heteroarylalkyl;
• each Rb, if present, is a suitable group independently selected from the group consisting of ═O, —ORd, (C1-C3) haloalkyloxy, —OCF3, ═S, —SRd, ═NRd, ═NORd, —NRcRc, halogen, —CF3, —CN, —NC, —OCN, —SCN, —NO, —NO2, ═N2, —N3, —S(O)Rd, —S(O)2Rd, —S(O)2ORd, —S(O)NRcRc, —S(O)2NRcRc, —OS(O)Rd, —OS(O)2Rd, —OS(O)2ORd, —OS(O)2NRcRc, —C(O)Rd, —C(O)ORd, —C(O)NRcRc, —C(NH)NRcRc, —C(NRa)NRcRc, —C(NOH)Ra, —C(NOH)NRcRc, —OC(O)Rd, —OC(O)ORd, —OC(O)NRcRc, —OC(NH)NRcRc, —OC(NRa)NRcRc, —[NHC(O)]nRd, —[NRaC(O)]nRd, —[NHC(O)]nORd, —[NRaC(O)]nORd, —[NHC(O)]nNRcRc, —[NRaC(O)]nNRcRc, —[NHC(NH)]nNRcRc and —[NRaC(NRa)]nNRcRc;
• each Rc, if present, is independently a protecting group or Ra, or, alternatively, each Rc is taken together with the nitrogen atom to which it is bonded to form a 5 to 8-membered cycloheteroalkyl or heteroaryl which may optionally include one or more of the same or different additional heteroatoms and which may optionally be substituted with one or more of the same or different Ra or suitable Rb groups;
• each n, independently, if present, is an integer from 0 to 3;
• each Rd, independently, if present, is a protecting group or Ra;
• or
• pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
