The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and discloses a ligustrazine derivative modified based on a monosaccharide structural unit and a preparation method of the ligustrazine derivative. According to the invention, a monosaccharide structural unit is introduced to carry out glycosylation modification on ligustrazine molecules, so that the water solubility, the biological activity and the drug effect durability of ligustrazine are remarkably improved, and the pharmacological characteristics of ligustrazine are optimized; the glycosylation modification not only can improve the solubility and stability of ligustrazine, but also can improve the treatment effect of the ligustrazine in specific diseases (such as alcohol addiction and the like) by increasing the affinity of the ligustrazine to a specific target spot; through the technical scheme, the defects of the existing ligustrazine derivative in the aspects of bioavailability, drug effect persistence and the like can be overcome, and the treatment effect and clinical application value of the ligustrazine derivative are remarkably enhanced; the glycosylated and modified ligustrazine derivative has better targeting property and stability, is suitable for wider clinical treatment requirements, and particularly shows greater application potential in treatment of diseases such as alcohol dependence.

In alternative embodiments, provided are compositions, including products of manufacture and kits, and methods, for reducing addiction to alcohol, and for ameliorating, reversing, treating or preventing Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD), or alcohol-induced brain injury, wherein optionally the alcohol-induced brain injury comprises neuronal death and astrogliosis (reducing alcohol-induced neuronal death and astrogliosis). In alternative embodiments, provided methods for administering to the individual in need thereof a compound or composition capable of inhibiting or decreasing the expression or activity of an IL-17 or IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) or RORγt protein, transcript and / or gene to treat or for use in: reducing addiction to alcohol; or ameliorating, reversing, treating or preventing Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) or alcohol-induced brain injury; or, inhibiting ROR γt to effectively block production of IL-17 cytokines and attenuate development of alcohol-induced liver fibrosis and brain damage.

The application discloses a kind of pharmaceutical composition and its purposes in preparation for inhibiting the autonomous intake preference of ethanol. The pharmaceutical composition includes lorcaserin and midazolam. The pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting the autonomous intake preference of ethanol provided by the application can effectively reduce the desire of body to alcohol, is used to treat alcohol dependence, and has significant long-acting characteristics. When the pharmaceutical composition is administered to mice, the absolute amount of active ethanol intake of mice and the relative proportion of ethanol intake compared with the amount of drinking water can be significantly reduced, and the inhibitory effect can last at least 6 days, which is expected to update the treatment plan for alcohol addiction in clinic.
