Fibrotic diseases are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of collagen in the extracellular matrix, leading to the functional impairment of various organs. In the skin, excessive collagen deposition manifests as hypertrophic scars and keloids, placing a substantial burden on patients and the healthcare system worldwide. HSP47 is essential for proper collagen assembly and contributes to fibrosis. However, identifying clinically applicable HSP47 inhibitors has been a major pharmaceutical challenge. In this study, we identified benzbromarone (BBR) as an HSP47 inhibitor for hypertrophic scarring treatment. BBR inhibited collagen production and secretion in fibroblasts from patients with keloid by binding to H... More
