The application discloses application of dihydroeugenol in preparation of a
medicine for treating Sjogren'
s syndrome. Through in-vivo experiments of a Sjogren'
s syndrome model of NOD mice, it is proved that after dihydroeugenol treatment, the
saliva secretion disorder of the Sjogren'
s syndrome model mice can be significantly improved, the abnormally increased
water consumption can be reduced, the
lymphocyte infiltration of the salivary gland tissue can be significantly reduced, the
pathological damage of the gland can be improved, the level of the characteristic
autoantibody (Anti-SSA / Ro and Anti-SSB / La) in serum can be lowered, the expression level of AQP5 and AR can be raised, the organ index of the salivary gland,
spleen and thymus tissue can be reduced, and the
dry mouth symptom of the mice is comprehensively improved. In-vitro experiments also show that after dihydroeugenol treatment, the expression level of AQP5 and AR can be raised. Therefore, the application of dihydroeugenol in preparation of the
medicine for treating Sjogren's syndrome has the advantages of significant
curative effect, treating both the symptoms and the
root cause, and good clinical application prospect.
