Liver fibrosis is a common response to chronic liver injury due multiple etiologies and plays crucial in the progression of disease cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, other liver-related clinical outcomes. Currently, available treatments block are designed eliminate underlying causes disease. The lack truly effective drugs regress or reverse major unmet need. In this context, article briefly describes pathological process hepatic focuses on reviewing progress studies mechanism-based anti-fibrotic drug development therapy, highlighting that positive effect thyroid hormone receptor-β (THR-β) analogs, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogues, Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated (pan-PPAR) fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitors, hydronidone reducing caused by specific etiologies. Moreover, multi-pathway guided combination therapy traditional Chinese medicine demonstrate significant advantages combating fibrosis. Finally, new technologies approaches affecting anti-hepatic were discussed.
