Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a method for therapeutic management of pulmonary fibrosis in mammals using a composition comprising iso-garcinol or octahydrocurcumin or a combination of iso-garcinol and octahydrocurcumin. The composition is very suitable for treating pulmonary fibrosis due to viral infections, specifically COVID 19 and for improving lung function during prognosis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for therapeutic management of pulmonary fibrosis in a mammal in need thereof, said method comprising the step of administering a composition comprising isogarcinol or a combination of isogarcinol and octahydrocurcumin to the mammal to bring about a reduction in symptoms and features of pulmonary fibrosis. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are selected from the group consisting of shortness of breath, chronic dry and hacking cough, fatigue and weakness, chest discomfort, chest pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, aching joints and muscles, clubbing of the tips of the fingers or toes. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the features of pulmonary fibrosis include increased hypoxia, extracellular matrix generation and deposition of aberrant matrix, increased inflammation and influx of inflammatory markers, increased migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, increased mucus secretion and increased lung index. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the inflammatory markers are selected from the group consisting of TGF-β, IL-13, IL-1β, TNF-α, CCL-17. 5. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the mammal is human.
