METABOLOMICS ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED AN ORALLY ACTIVE METABOLITE FOR TREATING CROHN’S DISEASE-ASSOCIATED INTESTINAL FIBROSIS

Intestinal fibrosis is a debilitating complication of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Surgical resection is used to treat intestinal strictures, but this approach may adversely affect the patients’ quality of life. Based on the findings of our groups and others, we hypothesize that intestinal metabolites are associated with intestinal fibrosis. We aimed to discover novel anti-fibrogenic metabolites.
