Collagen Inhibitor
- Molecular classification
- Small molecule, Antibody, Enzyme inhibitor, Other
01
Overview
A collagen inhibitor is a molecule or agent that interferes with the synthesis, secretion, assembly, or function of collagen. These inhibitors are being explored as therapeutic agents for conditions characterized by excessive collagen deposition and fibrosis, aiming to prevent or reduce abnormal scarring and organ dysfunction. They target various stages of collagen biosynthesis, from gene expression to mature fiber deposition.

- Anti-collagen agentCollagen synthesis inhibitorCollagen assembly inhibitorAntifibrotic agent (collagen-related)
02
Mechanism of action
Interference with collagen synthesis, secretion, assembly, or function. Mechanisms include blocking fibril formation, inhibiting chaperones/enzymes involved in collagen processing, and direct drug-collagen interaction to prevent fibril formation.
