  • RESTORATIVE AGENT FOR ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDE PRODUCTION ABILITY
    Publication number: 20110009352
    Abstract: There is provided a medicament capable of enhancing the antimicrobial peptide production ability. The medicament contains, as an active ingredient, a compound which is glycyrrhizin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and capable of inhibiting the production of at least one of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and chemokine CCL2. The antimicrobial peptide is preferably defensin or cathelicidin.

  • Use of glycyrrhizin and its derivatives as MCP-1 production inhibitors
    Publication number: 20060116337
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide the use of glycyrrhizin and its derivatives for inhibition of MCP-1 production. The present invention discloses an MCP-1 production inhibition method and pharmaceutical composition for the same comprising administration of glycyrrhizin and its derivatives in an amount effective for said inhibition to mammals in which migration of monocytes or T lymphocytes is increased, or production of IL-10 is increased, and inhibition of said increase is desired, thereby treating or preventing decreases in infection resistance.
