Luteolin and diosmin/diosmetin as novel STAT3 inhibitors for treating autism |
摘要 |
The present invention includes methods for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and type 1 diabetes. Flavonoids, luteolin, diosmin, and diosmin's aglycone form, diosmetin, were found to inhibit activation/phosphorylation of STAT3 induced by IL-6 in cultured neuronal cells. Furthermore, mice treated with diosmin showed a significant reduction of autistic phenotype induced by IL-6 through inhibition of STAT3 activation. |

1. A method of reducing the risk of developing autism in a patient due to exposure of the patient in utero to elevated levels of IL-6 from the patient's mother-comprising:
inhibiting activation of STAT3 in both the patient and the patient's mother by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a flavonoid selected from the group consisting of luteolin, diosmin, and diosmetin to the patient's mother during pregnancy; wherein STAT3 in the patient and the patient's mother is activated by elevated levels of IL-6 from the patient's mother. |
