Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common, fatal interstitial lung disease with unknown etiology. The current hypothesis is that sustained injury imposed on alveolar epithelial cells leads to aberrant wound healing and finally pulmonary function failure. The unknown pathogenesis heightens the difficulty for anti-fibrosis drug development. Only two drugs, pirfenidone and nintedanib, are approved for IPF treatment, and medical therapies against IPF are still in urgent need. Now researchers are focusing on new indications development for approved drugs since they have relatively detailed pharmacokinetics and safety data. Thus, effective drugs will rapidly go to clinical trials, and the development cycle will be greatly shortened. Here we summarize the basic science studies for different types of approved drugs against IPF and hope to provide reference for development of anti-fibrosis drugs.
