Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating muscle diseases, wherein the composition contains homoharringtonine as an active ingredient, wherein it was found that the suppression of a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and improved muscle strength were exhibited in an experimental group in which homoharringtonine was administered to an animal model in which reduction in muscle mass and muscular atrophy were induced by obesity, aging, or the fixing of lower extremities, and thus the composition including homoharringtonine as an active ingredient can be provided as a pharmaceutical composition or a health food for preventing or treating muscle diseases caused by a decrease in muscle mass or muscle strength.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of preventing or treating muscle diseases, comprising: administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising homoharringtonine as an active ingredient to a subject. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the muscle disease is one or more selected from the group consisting of sarcopenia, muscular atrophy, myasthenia, muscular dystrophy, myotonia, hypotonia, muscular weakness, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and inflammatory myopathy. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of homoharringtonine with respect to a total of 100 parts by weight of the pharmaceutical composition. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the homoharringtonine inhibits muscle loss and increases muscle strength without a change in body weight. 5 . A method of preventing or ameliorating muscle diseases, comprising: administering a health food comprising homoharringtonine as an active ingredient to a subject. 6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the muscle disease is one or more selected from the group consisting of sarcopenia, muscular atrophy, myasthenia, muscular dystrophy, myotonia, hypotonia, muscular weakness, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and inflammatory myopathy.
