Title:
NOVEL THERAPEUTIC AGENT RELATING TO THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR GENETIC RENAL DISEASE ALPORT SYNDROME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/039574
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To clarify the pathological mechanism of Alport syndrome (AS) for which no specific remedy is known hitherto and to develop a novel therapeutic method therefor which is more efficacious than the conventional symptomatic treatments. [Solution] A therapeutic agent for AS characterized in that AS is treated by regulating metabolism in renal glomeruli. In particular, a biguanide compound or a salt thereof is usable as an active ingredient for regulating the metabolism in renal glomeruli. Still preferably, metformin or a salt thereof and most preferably metformin hydrochloride can be used therefor.
