The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for the prevention, inhibition, and/or treatment of progressive fibrosis present in various fibroproliferative disorders. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to the use of Sigma-1 receptor agonists for use in the treatment or prevention of progressive fibrosis characterized by the overproliferation of ECM producing cells, e.g. myofibroblasts and by the excessive deposition of ECM components in a medical or disease condition. Preferred Sigma-1-receptor agonists are disclosed.
本发明涉及用于预防、抑制和/或治疗各种纤维增生性疾病中出现的进行性纤维化的组合物和方法。特别是,本发明的实施方案涉及 Sigma-1 受体激动剂在治疗或预防进行性纤维化中的用途,进行性纤维化的特征是
ECM 生成细胞(如肌成纤维细胞)的过度增殖以及医疗或疾病条件下
ECM 成分的过度沉积。本文公开了优选的 Sigma-1 受体激动剂。
