EV06 (Lipoic Acid Choline Ester, 1.5%) is a first‐in‐class new chemical entity that targets a biochemical cause of presbyopia, believed to be associated with an increase in the formation of disulfide bonds between the crystalline proteins within lens fiber cells. EV06 is intended to increase lens flexibility by breaking these bonds, thereby restoring elasticity, allowing the lens to focus on nearby objects. EV06 is a prodrug that penetrates the cornea and is subsequently broken down into lipoic acid and choline, two naturally occurring substances. The lipoic acid in EV06 is reduced to dihydrolipoic acid in lens fiber cells and is responsible for breaking the disulfide bonds, therefore increasing lens flexibility. Administration of EV06 may potentially halt or reverse the stiffening that occurs, allowing the lens to maintain or regain its ability to accommodate.
