The present invention belongs to the field of
biomedicine, and discloses the application of
eleutheroside B in the preparation of drugs for preventing and / or treating
methamphetamine addiction withdrawal. The inventor evaluated the role of
eleutheroside B in preventing and treating
methamphetamine addiction by investigating the effects of
eleutheroside B on
methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference and behavioral
sensitization. It was experimentally confirmed that eleutheroside B could reverse methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference and reduce methamphetamine-induced hyperlocomotor activity, and had an
inhibitory effect on the expression of methamphetamine-induced behavioral
sensitization in mice, indicating that eleutheroside B could effectively weaken the dependence and craving for methamphetamine, weaken the induced behavioral
sensitization effect, and could be used for preventing and treating methamphetamine
addiction. The present invention develops a new
drug for
drug rehabilitation with eleutheroside B as the
active ingredient, provides an effective and safe option for the prevention and treatment of methamphetamine addiction, and has good clinical application prospects.
