Corneal cross-linking effect of CXL vs. TXL using SMG as determined by DSC. Peak thermal transition temperatures (Tm) were compared. Each sample was compared to its own control and the difference (or shift) in Tm was expressed as the ΔTm. The greatest effect was seen with CXL, followed by 1/3 max SMG, followed by 1/4 max SMG. When combined with the cell toxicity data, we can evaluate the balance between “toxicity and fixation”. Based on these results, we believe that this concentration would be an appropriate starting concentration for in vivo animal studies.
