The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to application of a C5a
receptor inhibitor PMX53 in preparation of a
medicine for preventing and / or treating
ejection fraction retention type
heart failure. Experimental data provided by the invention show that the PMX53 effectively reverses the heart structural
lesion related to the HFpEF. Histological analysis proves that the
pathological hypertrophy of myocardial cells and the
fibrosis process of myocardial interstitial substance are remarkably inhibited by PMX53 treatment. In addition, the overall hypertrophy degree of the heart is relieved through treatment. The discovery shows that PMX53 not only improves the heart function, but also intervenes and repairs myocardial structure damage caused by HFpEF on the
tissue level.
