USE OF 2-(3,4-DIMETHOXYCINNAMOYL)AMINOBENZOIC ACID FOR THE TREATMENT OF RESTENOSIS ASSOCIATED WITH CORONARY INTERVENTION

摘要

This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prevention of restenosis associated with coronary intervention, containing, as an active ingredient, 2-(3,4-dimethyoxycinnamoyl)aminobenzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the use of 2-(3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl)aminobenzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical for the treatment or prevention of restenosis associated with coronary intervention. A 600 mg dosage of 2-(3,4-dimethoxy-cinnamoyl)aminobenzoic acid for a treatment period of three consecutive months after coronary intervention lowers the incidence of restenosis, and reduces the degree of stenosis in patients.
