Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used for measuring the hydrodynamic radii of intravitreal drugs ranibizumab, aflibercept and bevacizumab. The molecules were
labelled labeled with Ruthenium-based dye, whose lifetime
in the region of several hundred
ns nanoseconds is comparable to the rotational correlation time of these molecules. The molecular radii were obtained from the rotational
diffusion coefficients correlation times of the molecules measured with
time resolved time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The
measured radii of ranibizumab, aflibercept and
bevacizumab were measured as bevacizumab, 2.76$\pm$0.04~nm, 3.70$\pm$0.03~nm and 4.58$\pm$0.01~nm, respectively,
which all agree with calculations based on molecular weight. Anisotropy offers an alternative independent means of determining the size of drugs designed for intraocular use and may better reflect ocular drug diffusion than theoretical estimates of size based solely on MW.
