The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, discloses applications of
andrographolide derivatives in preparation of medicines preventing and treating
hepatic fibrosis, and relates to 15-benzylidene-14-deoxy-11,12-dehydroandrographolide derivatives and 3,19 esterified compounds thereof. Experiments prove that the compounds significantly inhibit human
hepatic stellate cell LX-2
metastasis and activation, significantly reduce the
fibrosis level of hepatic tissues of rats affected with
hepatic fibrosis, reduce contents of
extracellular matrix
protein (ECM) related components, significantly reduce the level of
immune inflammation correlation factors of rats affected with
hepatic fibrosis, effectively inhibit immuno-inflammatory responses, inhibit
hepatic stellate cell activation in hepatic tissues, and promote
collagen degradation. The compounds are used as
active components for preparing the anti-hepatic
fibrosis medicines, and are efficient and low in
toxicity, thus providing a novel
medicine route for hepatic
fibrosis treatment and prevention, and expanding the optional range of clinical
medicine application. The compounds and the applications have good development prospects.
