Anecortave (rINN) (pronounced /ænəˈkɔrteɪv/) is a novel angiogenesis inhibitor used in the treatment of the exudative (wet) form of age-related macular degeneration. Although based on a steroid nucleus, it possesses little glucocorticoid activity. It will be marketed by Alcon as anecortave acetate for depot suspension under the trade name Retaane.
