Elastin is the main extracellular matrix protein that gives the alveolar walls their elastic properties. Its production and degradation are further regulated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) and its storage molecule, latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein (LTBP-1). ECPF-2 treatment increased elastin and LTBP-1 incorporation into the extracellular matrix. These data suggest that ECPF-2 can decrease the symptoms of extracellular matrix degradation associated with pulmonary fibrosis in COPD.

Therapeutics In Development

ECPF-1

Extracellular Matrix Protection Factor (ECPF-1) is a novel, safe and effective intra-joint injection that reduces the pain and damage caused by osteoarthritis.

ECPF-2

Extracellular Matrix Protection Factor-2 (ECPF-2), is a safe, non-antibiotic oral healthcare treatment that slows the damage associated with periodontal disease.

ECPF-3

Extracellular Matrix Protection Factor-3 (ECPF-3) can block the cellular players that cause narrowing of airways in Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Diesase (COPD) and asthma.
