Bevasiranib sodium is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic designed to treat ocular diseases, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD). By targeting and silencing the mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bevasiranib sodium aims to inhibit the production of VEGF, a key protein involved in the formation of abnormal blood vessels and increased vascular permeability in the retina, which are characteristic of AMD.
