The present invention generally provides methods for the prevention or reduction of adhesion formation/reformation using protease inhibitors. More specifically, this invention provides methods for preventing or inhibiting postoperative adhesion formation/reformation in mammals following surgical or accidental injury or inflammation to the organs of the peritoneal or pleural cavity or other body spaces, using serine protease inhibitors, such as, for example, using chymase inhibitors (e.g., &agr;-aminoalkylphosphonate derivatives) and the like.
本发明通常提供了使用蛋白酶抑制剂预防或减少粘连形成/再形成的方法。更具体地,本发明提供了使用丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂预防或抑制哺乳动物在腹腔或胸腔器官或其他身体空间手术或意外损伤或炎症后的术后粘连形成/再形成的方法,例如使用胰蛋白酶抑制剂(例如&agr;-氨基烷基膦酸衍生物)等。
