Anti-fibrotic Activity
- Molecular classification
- Biological Process, Pathway
01
Overview
Anti-fibrotic activity refers to the ability to prevent, reduce, or reverse fibrosis—the pathological accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components that leads to tissue scarring and organ dysfunction. It targets pathways involved in myofibroblast activation, collagen synthesis, and inflammation to halt or reverse fibrogenesis.
