The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound as an active ingredient for preventing or treating asthma, and a functional health food composition for preventing or treating asthma. The monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound of the present invention inhibits the expression of IL-4 in EL-4 cells, which are mouse T cell lymphoma cells, reduces hypersensitivity of airway in an asthma-induced animal model, and inhibits the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the bronchial tube. In addition, the compounds of the present invention inhibit the generation of IgE in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, have an excellent effect of inhibiting the expression of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) in the lung, thereby overcome side effects of the currently used therapeutic agents for asthma, have no toxicity, and exhibit a superior therapeutic effect, and thus can be useful as a composition for preventing, treating, and alleviating asthma.
本发明涉及一种含有单乙酰二乙酰甘油化合物作为有效成分的预防或治疗哮喘的药物组合物,以及一种预防或治疗哮喘的功能性保健食品组合物。本发明的单乙酰二乙酰甘油化合物可抑制 EL-4 细胞(小鼠 T 细胞淋巴瘤细胞)中 IL-4 的表达,降低哮喘诱导动物模型中气道的超敏性,并抑制炎症细胞向支气管的浸润。此外,本发明的化合物还能抑制血清和支气管肺泡灌洗液中 IgE 的生成,在抑制肺部 Th2 细胞因子(IL-4、IL-5 和 IL-13)的表达方面效果极佳,从而克服了目前使用的哮喘治疗剂的副作用,且无毒性,治疗效果显著,因此可用作预防、治疗和缓解哮喘的组合物。
