Title:
PREVENTIVES/REMEDIES FOR LIVER DISEASES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/064478
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Preventives/remedies for liver diseases which contain compounds having an Rho kinase inhibitory activity; and liver astrocyte activation inhibitors. Because of having excellent effects of inhibiting the activation of liver astrocytes, preventing the fibrosis of liver tissues, etc., compounds having an Rho kinase inhibitory activity (for example, (+)- trans-4-(1-aminoethyl)-1-(4-pyridylcarbamoyl) cyclohexane) are useful in preventing and treating various liver diseases such as hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
