This invention relates to the field of
biomedical technology, and more particularly to the application of an isoflavone compound, specifically Corylifol A, in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of inflammatory diseases. When used to prepare drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of inflammatory diseases, this isoflavone compound can directly bind to the IκBα
protein and specifically inhibit its
phosphorylation, thereby blocking the
phosphorylation and
nuclear translocation of the NF-κB p65
subunit, ultimately inhibiting the overactivation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, the isoflavone compound can significantly reduce the
mortality rate of
lipopolysaccharide-induced septicemia in mice, inhibit the levels of
inflammatory factors in serum and
lung tissue, and effectively alleviate LPS-induced acute
lung injury in mice. Simultaneously, when the isoflavone compound is controlled within an effective concentration range, it exhibits no significant
cytotoxicity to mouse peritoneal macrophages and can significantly inhibit the production and release of
lipopolysaccharide-induced
inflammatory factors IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6.
