    Abstract: Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment and prevention of alcoholic liver diseases, including cilostazol as an active ingredient. Cilostazol inhibits expression levels of TNF-? and FAS (fatty acid synthase) gene in a concentration-dependent manner, and also significantly inhibits the activity of caspase-3. Accordingly, cilostazol shows superior effects for the treatment or prevention of alcoholic liver diseases, in particular, alcoholic hepatitis compared to pentoxifylline which is conventionally used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment for alcoholic hepatitis. Thus, cilostazol is suitable for use as a drug for the treatment or prevention of alcoholic hepatitis.
