摘要

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a wound or scar, comprising benzbromarone as an active ingredient. The present invention has confirmed that benzbromarone inhibits the function of heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), and has found that benzbromarone may be used for preventing or treating a wound or scar by inhibiting the accumulation of collagen by reducing collagen overproduction cells. Thus, the composition comprising benzbromarone as an active ingredient of the present invention may be usefully employed in medical and pharmaceutical fields for preventing or treating a wound or scar.
