コレステロールオゾン化産物の作用の相殺によるアテローム性動脈硬化症の治療および予防のために有用な治療薬を同定する方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009504184
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
As illustrated herein, cholesterol is oxidized when it is present in atherosclerotic plaques. This reaction generates cholesterol oxidation or ozonation products that can act as chemotactic attractants of macrophages, can promote differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and can increase expression of E-selectin and Class A scavenger receptor (SR-A). The present application is directed to methods of using such cholesterol ozonoation products to identify agents that can be used to treat atherosclerosis and other inflammatory artery diseases.
