Title:
PROCOLLAGEN (III) PROPEPTIDES AND RELATED SUBSTANCES FOR TREATING FIBROTIC DISEASES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002036154
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of procollagen (III) propeptides and related substances for treating fibrotic diseases and to a method for producing and renaturing recombinant N and/or C-terminal procollagen (III) propeptides. Said procollagen (III) propeptides and related substances are suitable for treating fibrosis of any type, of any organ manifestation. The invention also relates to a method for producing renatured N-terminal procollagen (III) propeptide and/or C-terminal procollagen (III) propeptide.
