The specific pathogenesis of preeclampsia is still unclear, and may be related to vascular endothelial dysfunction. There are currently no approved drugs on the market for the treatment and prevention of pre-eclampsia. EG-101 has shown good therapeutic effects in animal models of preeclampsia, with significant improvement in hypertension and proteinuria.
