Title:
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING FLUOXETINE AS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT, FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER DISORDERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/058605
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising fluoxetine as an active ingredient for preventing or treating blood-brain barrier disorders. More particularly, it is defined that fluoxetine may inhibit expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-12, which are reported to be related to a blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and inflammatory reaction after a spinal cord injury, and specifically may remarkably reduce MMP-2 and MMP-9 activation. It is also defined that fluoxetine may inhibit a decomposition of ZO-1, which is representative tight junction protein, so as to maintain a tight junction between endothelial cells and to thus protect a blood-brain barrier, may inhibit an increase in permeability of the blood-brain barrier, and may inhibit expressions of chemoattractants of blood cells, such as CXCL-1, CXCL-2, CCL-2, CCL-3 and CCL-4 so as to reduce inflow of blood into spinal cord and recover exercise function which has been deteriorated by a spinal cord injury. Therefore, it is known that fluoxetine can be valuably used in the prevention and treatment of central nervous system diseases or blood-brain barrier disorders or blood-spinal cord barrier disorders.
