ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a method for treating fibrotic conditions by administration of an effective amount of an antifibrotic agent. The antifibrotic agent is preferably a proline analog, such as cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline (cHyp). The antifibrotic agent is operatively linked to a monomer or a polymer, with or without a linking compound, e.g., lysine. Intravenous administration is preferred. The present method facilitates the delivery and release of the antifibrotic agent to inhibit collagen accumulation and thereby to treat fibrosis where collagen metabolism is implicated. A reduced quantity of the antifibrotic agent and a corresponding reduction in the potential for toxicity resulting from prolonged administration thereof may be realized.
