Pyrenoxine competitively inhibits the binding of quinones to the water-soluble lens protein and prevents lens degeneration, thereby preventing lens opacity. By inhibiting the action of quinone substances, pyrenoxine prevents the development of cataracts.
The drug is used to slow the progression of early senile cataracts.
