107 results about "Anti fibrosis" patented technology

Esbriet (pirfenidone) is an anti-fibrotic medication that stops the action of TGF-β, reducing the amount of fibrosis. Initially developed to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pirfenidone has been shown to be safe and effective in treating lung fibrosis in scleroderma patients.

Composition comprising hovenia dulcis thunb. extract, lindera obtusiloba blume extract, or herbal mixture extract thereof

InactiveUS20070160699A1Easy to optimizeExcellent liver function improving effectBiocideDigestive systemHydroxyprolineLiver and kidney
The present invention relates to a composition comprising Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof as an effective ingredient.
Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof of the present invention is highly effective for the improvement of liver functions since it can lower the level of GOT, GPT, ALP, BUN and total bilirubin, which are major liver function indices. ALP and BUN are also used as kidney function indices, so the decrease of the level of ALP and BUN by the extract of the present invention indicates that Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof of the invention can improve kidney functions as well.
Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof of the present invention also can lower the amount of hydroxyproline in liver but increase the amount of hydroxyproline in kidney, suggesting that the extract above has excellent anti-fibrosis and kidney protecting effects.
In addition, Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof of the present invention can lower the level of malondialdehyde, an index of lipid peroxidation in liver and kidney tissues, suggesting that the extract has excellent anti-oxidative effect.
Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract, Lindera obtusiloba extract or herbal mixture extract thereof of the present invention promotes cell viability in liver and kidney cell lines, indicating that the extract has excellent liver and kidney cell protective effects. Therefore, the composition of the present invention can be effectively used not only for anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis but also for the protection and the improvement of liver and kidney functions.

Polymer nano-carrier for folic acid specificity targeting of active hepatic stellate cell and medicinal application thereof

The invention provides a polymer nano-carrier for folic acid specificity targeting of an active hepatic stellate cell and medicinal application thereof. In the transformation process from a resting state to a muscle fibrosis sample active state, expression of an alpha type folate receptor in the hepatic stellate cell is remarkably enhanced. A folic acid-coupled polymer nano-micelle carrier is further prepared, and specificity targeting on the active primary rat hepatic stellate cell and cell strains of the polymer nano-micelle carrier is successfully achieved. According to a medicine nano-carrier system, polyethylene glycol is adopted as a material of a hydrophilic section, and resisting to protein adsorption and cell adhesion in blood circulation of the medicine nano-carrier system is ensured; polycaprolactone serves as a material of a hydrophobic section for nucleation, and loading of a plurality of hydrophobic anti-fibrosis medicines and fluorescent dye is facilitated. Folic acid coupled to a PEG shell guarantees that the carrier system conducts specificity recognition on folate receptors on the surface of the active hepatic stellate cell, finally, the utilization rate of the medicine is effectively increased, and the toxic and side effect of the medicine is lowered.
