The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of fibrosis, in particular cardiac fibrosis, comprising the administration of an inhibitor of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). Preferable the IRAP inhibitor is chosen from the group including HFI-419, HA-08, AL-40, HFI-437, Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe (otherwise known as angiotensin IV or ANG IV), c[Cys-Tyr-Cys]-His-Pro-Phe, and c[Hcy-Tyr-Hcy]-His-Pro-Phe.
本发明涉及一种治疗纤维化,特别是心脏纤维化的方法,包括施用
胰岛素调节
氨肽酶(IRAP)
抑制剂。IRAP
抑制剂最好选自包括HFI-419、HA-08、AL-40、HFI-437、Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe(又称
血管紧张素IV或ANG IV)、c[Cys-Tyr-Cys]-His-Pro-Phe和c[Hcy-Tyr-Hcy]-His-Pro-Phe在内的组。
