Résumé
Hepatic fibrosis is an important pathological process in the development of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer from chronic liver damage. So far there is no effective chemical drug in clinic for treatment of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, the research in anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs is a hot topic. For drugs currently under research and development, most of the mechanisms of action are related to inhibition of factors that could cause or deteriorate liver fibrosis, including activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells, inflammation, oxidative stress and production of extracellular matrix, et al. In this review, we briefly analyze targets and drugs related to the mechanisms mentioned above in order to provide a reference to the future research and development of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs.
