摘要:
Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition for the prophylaxis and therapy of inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, or asthma, comprising a velvet apple (Diospyros blancoi A. DC.) extract as an active ingredient. Having the inhibitory activity against the nuclear translocation of NF-κB, whose level is rapidly elevated in response to inflammatory stimuli, the velvet apple extract can suppress the production of NO and PGE2, the expression of iNOS and COX-2, and the release of IL-1β and TNF-α, and can significantly down regulate Th2-mediated IL-4 and IL-13 production. In addition, the extract was found to inhibit the activation of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and to suppress the secretion of immunoglobulins and chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood, as measured by in vivo tests on an ovalbumin-induced asthma mouse model. Therefore, the extract can be used in the method for preventing or treating various inflammatory disorders, allergic diseases, or asthma.

A pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease or asthma comprising the extract of Decaspermum fruticosum as an active ingredient. The extract of Decaspermum fruticosum of the present invention inhibited the increase of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the ovalbumin induced asthma animal model, had the activity of inhibiting the secretions of immunoglobulin and chemokine (Eotaxin) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood, and inhibited the secretions of NO and TNF-α in macrophages. Therefore, the extract of Decaspermum fruticosum of the present invention can be effectively used as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease or asthma, and of a health functional food for the prevention and improvement of inflammatory disease or asthma.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating asthma, the composition containing styraxlignolide A or an aglycone thereof as an active ingredient. More particularly, styraxlignolide A compound is one separated from stems and barks of Styrax japonica, and styraxlignolide A or homoegonol, which is an aglycone of styraxlignolide A and which has improved safety, has the effect of attenuating weight loss and airway hyperresponsiveness, inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species in airway, inhibiting generation of IgE, TGF-β1, and IL-17 in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, inhibiting endobronchial inflammatory cell infiltration, and inhibiting the formation of a mucous plug and subepithelial fibrosis in an asthma-induced mouse model. Therefore, styraxlignolide or homoegonol can be effectively used as the active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating bronchial asthma in which airway remodeling has progressed.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of asthma comprising Wogonin as an active ingredient. The Wogonin of the present invention is excellent not only in relieving airway hypersensitivity that causes asthma in vivo, in inhibiting reactive oxygen species generation in the airway, and in inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the bronchus, but also in inhibiting the generation of IgE in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and in inhibiting the expressions of Th2 cytokines in the lung. Therefore, the Wogonin of the present invention can be effectively used as a composition for the prevention, treatment, or improvement of asthma.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a kit for the diagnosis or screening of asthma comprising neuropilin (NRP) gene, and to a method for screening a therapeutic agent for asthma using the same. More precisely, the present invention confirmed that NRP1 expression was increased in asthma patients and by D. pteronissinus extract. Based on the confirmation, the inventors confirmed that NRP1 could be effectively used as a target for the development of a therapeutic agent for asthma since the suppression of NRP1 expression resulted in the decrease of mRNA, protein, enzyme activity, and promoter activity of MMP-9 in relation to asthma.
