  • Method of using an indolinone molecule and derivatives for inhibiting liver fibrosis and hepatitis
    Patent number: 10450295
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods of reversing and inhibiting liver fibrosis and hepatitis using a small indolinone molecule Hesperadin and related compounds. Methods of identifying such agents and using them to inhibit the expression of collagens and ECM proteins including MMPs and TIMPs in purified hepatic stellate cells are provided. In vivo data of Hesperadin in inhibiting induced collagen production are presented. This method of specifically targeting drugs to hepatic stellate cells in vivo, provides a novel therapy for liver diseases.
