Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A therapeutic drug for dilated cardiomyopathy was searched for by drug repositioning of existing drugs. Candidate drugs were selected by in vitro screening using iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes, and efficacy and safety were evaluated using a hamster model of spontaneous dilated cardiomyopathy. As a result, it was shown that 6 of the existing drugs are effective against the decrease in cardiac function associated with the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy. It was also shown that a synergistic effect can be expected by administering these in combination.
