USE OF BRADYKININ-B2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR TREATING OSTEOARTHROSIS

摘要

Peptides that have a Bradykinin-antagonistic effect are suitable for the production of drugs for use in the prophylaxis and therapy of diseases whose progression is associated with an increased activity of matrix metalloproteinases. These diseases include degenerative articular diseases, for example osteoarthrosis, spondylosis and chondroporosis after joint trauma or prolonged joint immobilization after meniscus or patella injuries or ruptures of a ligament.
