| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating asthma, comprising, as an active ingredient, 6,7-di-O-acetylsinococuline or pharmacological acceptable salts thereof. More particularly, the 6,7-di-O-acetylsinococuline prevents inflammatory cells, such as lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils or the like, which might cause inflammation to the mucous membrane tissue of the airway, from entering the bronchoalveolar space, inhibits hypersensitivity of the airway, reduces infiltration of inflammatory cells which infiltrate around bronchial tubes, and inhibits secretion of mucus, mucosal cell thickening or the like in a lumen. Therefore, the 6,7-di-O-acetylsinococuline is effective in treating asthma, and thus can be used in a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating asthma and in a health food composition. |
