Pharmacometabolic effect of pirfenidone treatment in IPF detected by high resolution MALDI-FTICR imaging

Published: Sep 15, 2018
Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal condition with limited life expectancy and response to therapies. Pirfenidone is an approved therapy for IPF, yet its mechanism of action is unknown. Using high resolution MALDI-FTICR-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) we detected, visualized, and quantified in situ endogenous and exogenous metabolites in mice and humans with lung fibrosis, and assessed the effect of pirfenidone treatment. In total, 1402...
