The present invention provides a new medical use of the hydroxycarbazole compounds of Formula (I), preferably the hydroxylated metabolites of 1-(carbazol-4-yloxy-3-[[2-(o-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino]-2-propanol)(carve dilol), for inhibiting the migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. In particular, the present invention provides a new use for the hydroxycarbazole compounds of Formula (I) for prevention of restenosis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), suppression of the progression of vascular hypertrophy associated with hypertension, and prevention of development of atherosclerosis. ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 -R.sub.9 are independently --H or --OH, with the proviso that a at least one of R.sub.1 -R.sub.9 is OH.
本发明提供了羟基咔唑化合物的新的医疗用途,其化学式为(I),最好是1-(咔唑-4-氧基-3-[[2-(邻甲氧基苯氧基)乙基]氨基]-2-丙醇)的羟基代谢物(卡维地洛),用于抑制平滑肌细胞的迁移和增殖。具体而言,本发明提供了羟基咔唑化合物的新用途,用于预防经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术(PTCA)后再狭窄、抑制与高血压相关的血管肥大的进展,以及预防动脉粥样硬化的发展。其中:R₁-R₉独立地为--H或--OH,但至少有一个R₁-R₉是OH。
