Tazarotene,


Sorry about not giving details about Tazarotene, but I ignored it because it is for me the same thing than Accutane-Roche (isoretinoin, related to retinoid acid and vitamin A).

Tazarotene is acetylenic retinoid metabolized into retinoid acid (same).

The potential is described into the¨PR

"(...)The scientists injected Accutane (isotretinoin) daily into mice with a genetic defect similar to that in children with a condition called Stargardt's macular degeneration. The condition leads to the deterioration of the area on the retina responsible for central vision.
The drug successfully suppressed the buildup of toxic pigments believed responsible for progression of the disease, they report in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But experts caution that no one should use Accutane for this disease before further studies are done.
This would be a treatment, not a cure," says study author Dr. Gabriel Travis, a professor of ophthalmology and biological chemistry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.(...)"

I tried to investigate about the Allergan's TKI but I found nothing, for me it is early preclinical data and you have more than a dozen TKIs in preclinical or clinical today, far more advanced.
