5-Hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin (HD-003) 是一种可能用于治疗肾衰竭的抗氧化剂。它是肌酐代谢物，是一种羟基自由基清除剂，此前已显示通过抑制大鼠慢性肾病的进展来提供肾脏保护。 它是一种新型抗氧化药物，可完全抑制 B2-激肽受体(B2KR) 对 VSMC 中高葡萄糖 (25 mM) 刺激的反应，并且还显示可减弱 BK 对 VSMC 重塑的影响。它抑制 BK 诱导的 MAPK 磷酸化增加并减弱 VSMC 中结缔组织生长因子 (CTGF) 蛋白水平的增加。这些研究结果表明，它可能通过其抗氧化特性赋予血管保护免受高葡萄糖浓度和 BK 刺激以改善血管损伤和重塑。

KD-3010 is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist potentially for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. KD-3010 dramatically ameliorates liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) injections. Deposition of extracellular matrix proteins was lower in the KD3010-treated group than in the vehicle- or GW501516-treated group. Interestingly, profibrogenic connective tissue growth factor was induced significantly by GW501516, but not by KD-3010, following CCl(4) treatment.

Pamrevlumab (FG-3019) 是一种对缔组织生长因子（CTGF）有亲和力的人源抗体，参与抗结缔组织生长因子疗法，可用于治疗特发性肺纤维化 (IPF) 。
