    摘要: The present invention relates to the use of pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ), its derivatives and/or salts for the preparation of drugs for the treatment and/or prevention of endometriosis including adenomyosis, chocolate cyst of ovary, deeply infiltrating endometriosis and other type of endometriosis. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of PQQ in combination with one or more the following antioxidants: N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), resveratrol, epigallocatechin gallate, vitamin E or vitamin C for the preparation of drugs for inhibiting the proliferation, oxidative stress status, invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cell. The use of PQQ in combination with NAC shows a synergistic effect on inhibiting cell proliferation: significantly inhibiting the proliferation of endometrial stromal cell in vitro; significantly reducing the damaged size of tissue caused by endometriosis in vivo; significantly reducing the infiltration of endometrial stroma and glands; significantly reducing the dose of NAC as well. PQQ is beneficial for fertility, and increases the chances of getting pregnant. PQQ alone or PQQ in combination with NAC generally shows no side effects and will not interfere with pregnancy.
