The invention relates to the technical field of biological
pharmacy, and particularly discloses application of protostemonine or pharmaceutical salt thereof in preparation of a
medicine for preventing or treating
acute pancreatitis. The establishment of an
acute pancreatitis animal model induced by combination of rain frog element and LPS proves that protostemonine can significantly reduce the activity of model mouse serum
amylase and
lipase, alleviate
pancreatic tissue pathological damage, inhibit the activity of
pancreatic tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) and
mRNA expression of
inflammatory factors IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, and inhibit
pancreatic tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO). Therefore, local
inflammation and
tissue damage of the
pancreas are effectively relieved. An in-vitro
cell experiment further verifies the
biological activity of the compound. The invention provides a new
drug choice for
clinical treatment of
acute pancreatitis, and has a good development prospect. The
medicine can be prepared into various dosage forms such as injections, tablets, capsules and the like, and can be combined with other anti-inflammatory medicines for use.
