The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating inflammatory disease, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer, which contains an A
3
adenosine receptor agonist, 2-chloro-N
6
-(3-iodobenzyl)-4′-thioadenosine-5′-N-methyluronamide (thio-Cl-IB-MECA), N
6
-(3-iodobenzyl)-4′-thioadenosine-5′-N-methyluronamide (thio-IB-MECA), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The pharmaceutical composition of the invention is significantly less toxic than conventional A
3
adenosine agonists, and thus is useful for prevention or treatment of inflammatory disease. In addition, it more selectively inhibits the growth of androgen receptor-dependent or independent prostate cancer cells than other A
3
adenosine receptor agonists and thus is useful for prevention or treatment of colorectal cancer or prostate cancer.
