Publication number: 20240075037Abstract: [PROBLEM] The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a novel pharmaceutical use of a JAK inhibitor. [SOLUTION MEANS] A therapeutic or preventive agent for a skin disease selected from the group consisting of senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema and contact dermatitis, containing a JAK inhibitor as an active ingredient. [EFFECT] The followings are found: a JAK inhibitor increases the expression amounts of filaggrin, loricrin, involucrin and ?-defensin 3 as skin barrier function-related proteins; a JAK inhibitor significantly increases NMF production in a Tape Stripping-treated mouse; and a JAK inhibitor significantly accelerates a reduction in TEWL in a dry skin mouse model, namely improves the skin barrier function. The JAK inhibitor can be used as an active ingredient of a therapeutic or preventive agent for skin diseases such as senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema, contact dermatitis, ichthyosis vulgaris, Netherton syndrome, type B peeling skin syndrome, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicants: Japan Tobacco Inc., Kyoto UniversityInventors: Atsuo TANIMOTO, Yoshifumi UEDA, Yukari KIMOTO (formerly KITAO), Wataru AMANO, Kenji KABASHIMA
