The application discloses application of 1,2,3,4,6-O-galloyl glucose in preparation of a
drug for preventing and / or treating
myocardial hypertrophy, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. The application proves for the first time that PGG can significantly improve
cardiac dysfunction induced by TAC operation, inhibit increase of heart volume and weight,
myocardial cell hypertrophy, down-regulate expression of
myocardial hypertrophy markers Nppa, Nppb and Myh7, and block excessive activation of an AKT / ERK
signal path. Therefore, PGG can effectively prevent and / or treat
pathological myocardial hypertrophy, and has a clear clinical application prospect.
