This invention relates to biopharmaceutical technology, specifically to the application of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane, indole-3-carbinol, and derivatives thereof in the preparation of drugs for treating such hepatic diseases as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, drug-induced hepatitis, fatty liver, hepatic fibrosis and hepatic cirrhosis. The said indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane and derivatives thereof can effectively protect the human body from the damage resulting from ROS by inhibiting ROS-induced activation of hepatic stellate cells and correlated expression of collagen, which consequently ameliorates degree of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore they can be used in treatment of diseases related to hepatic fibrosis. As is verified in the animal models of hepatic fibrosis, the said indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane and derivatives thereof present excellent therapeutic effect and positive application prospect.
本发明涉及生物制药技术,具体涉及3,3'-二吲哚甲烷、吲哚-3-甲醇及其衍生物在制备治疗病毒性肝炎、酒精性肝炎、药物性肝炎、脂肪肝、肝纤维化和肝硬化等肝病药物中的应用。上述吲哚-3-甲醇、二吲哚甲烷及其衍生物可通过抑制 ROS 诱导的肝星状细胞活化和胶原蛋白的相关表达,有效保护人体免受 ROS 的损害,从而改善肝纤维化程度。因此,它们可用于治疗与肝纤维化有关的疾病。正如在肝纤维化动物模型中验证的那样,上述吲哚-3-甲醇、二吲哚甲烷及其衍生物具有极佳的治疗效果和积极的应用前景。
