The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition including oleanolic acid acetate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient for preventing or treating TLR- and IL-6-mediated diseases, and a pharmaceutical composition including an adzuki bean extract containing the compound or the salt thereof, or a fraction thereof as an active ingredient for preventing or treating TLR- and IL-6-mediated diseases. The adzuki bean extract or the compound of the present invention is derived from a natural resource that has been used as a natural medicine for a long time, and it inhibits TLR-3 and TLR-7 activations induced by Poly(I:C) and Poly(I) which are synthetic analogues of dsRNA and ssRNA, blocks NF-κB-including signal transduction pathways, and inhibits transcriptional activation and phosphorylation of IL-6-activated inflammatory transcription factor STAT3 without causing side effects, thereby being widely used for the development of prophylactic or therapeutic agents for TLR-and IL-6-mediated diseases, for example, atopic dermatitis or arthritis.
本发明涉及一种药物组合物,包括
齐墩果酸乙酸酯或其药学上可接受的盐,作为预防或治疗TLR-和IL-6介导的疾病的活性成分;以及一种药物组合物,包括含有该化合物或其盐或其馏分的赤豆
提取物,作为预防或治疗TLR-和IL-6介导的疾病的活性成分。本发明的赤豆
提取物或化合物来源于一种长期以来被用作天然药物的自然资源,它能抑制由 Poly(I. C) 和 Poly(I. C) 诱导的 TLR-3 和 TLR-7 激活:C)和 Poly(I)(dsRNA 和 ssRNA 的合成类似物)诱导的 TLR-3 和 TLR-7 激活,阻断包括 NF-κB 在内的
信号转导通路,抑制 IL-6 激活的炎性转录因子 STAT3 的转录激活和
磷酸化,且不会产生副作用,因此可广泛用于开发 TLR 和 IL-6 介导的疾病(如特应性皮炎或关节炎)的预防或治疗药物。
