  • Patent number: 11865129
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an application of anemoside B4 in preparation of drug for treatment or prevention of psoriasis. Anemoside B4 has therapeutic effect on 5% imiquimod-induced psoriatic lesions in mice. Its possible mechanism may be inhibiting inflammation reactions, regulating immune function and inhibiting angiogenesis, and the therapeutic effect may be realized by inhibiting the release of IL-12, IL-17, IL-6 and IL-1? in skin tissue. This study of the present disclosure laid a theoretical foundation for the subsequent development of anemoside B4 into an anti-psoriasis drug of traditional Chinese medicine.
