It is projected to become the leading cause of blindness, given the increasing burden of the diabetic population worldwide. The diagnosis and management of DR pose significant challenges for physicians because of the involvement of multiple biochemical pathways and the complexity of ocular tissues. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of DR, including the polyo pathway, hexosamine pathway, protein kinase C (PKC), JAK/STAT signaling pathways, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Science was systematically searched using a carefully constructed search strategy incorporating keywords like \"Diabetic Retinopathy,\" \"Molecular Pathways,\" \"Pharmacological Treatments,\" and \"Clinical Trials\" to identify relevant literature for the comprehensive review. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In addition to activating other inflammatory cascades, these pathways contribute to the generation of oxidative stress within the retina.
