The invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and / or treating
acute pancreatitis. The Anarinone root plays a role in preventing and treating
acute pancreatitis by inhibiting
oxidative stress (such as improving the activity of
superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reducing the content of
malondialdehyde (MDA)) and / or inhibiting
inflammatory response (such as inhibiting activation of an NF-kappa B
signal channel and reducing expression of proinflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-alpha and the like); compared with a chemical synthetic
medicine octreotide (possibly causing gastrointestinal reaction, abnormal blood glucose and other side effects), the long-term use experience of the Anacarid root serving as a traditional habitual natural medicinal material shows that the Anacarid root possibly has better
biocompatibility and lower adverse reaction risk, and a possibly
safer treatment choice is provided for patients.
