The invention relates to application of
cepharanthine in preparation of medicines for preventing or treating metabolic dysfunction related
fatty liver diseases (Metabolic-associated
fatty liver diseases), and particularly relates to application of
cepharanthine in preparation of medicines for preventing or treating metabolic dysfunction related
fatty liver diseases (Metabolic-associated fatty liver diseases). The invention relates to an application of MASLD in a
medicine, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. In an in-vivo experiment, a mouse MASLD model is established by adopting
methionine choline deficiency diet induction, and the
treatment effect of
cepharanthine on MASLD is researched. Experimental results show that the cepharanthine can significantly reduce the levels of
triglyceride, glutamic-pyruvic
transaminase, glutamic oxalacetic
transaminase and other indexes of MASLD mice; a
pathological detection result shows that cepharanthine can effectively reduce
liver lipid deposition and
inflammatory infiltration. In-vitro experiments prove that cepharanthine can effectively reduce the content of free
fatty acid (Free
Fatty Acid); fFA (
Fatty Acid) induced HepG2 (HepG2)
cell lipid accumulation and lipopolysaccharides (lipopolysaccharides) induced HepG2
cell lipid accumulation and lipopolysaccharides (FFA) induced HepG2
cell lipid accumulation; the THP-1 cell
inflammatory response is induced by LPS (
Lipopolysaccharide). In conclusion, the cepharanthine shows remarkable anti-lipid accumulation and anti-inflammatory effects in in-vivo and in-vitro experiments, can be used for preparing the
medicine for preventing or treating MASLD, and has a wide application prospect.
