In light of a discovery that astroglial Kir4.1 in lateral habenula drives neuronal bursts in depression, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical agent and a method of use thereof for treating depression. The pharmaceutical agent can inhibit an activity of an astroglial potassium channel, and especially suppress expression or functionality of Kir4.1, in astrocytes in the lateral habenula of a subject so that bursting activity of neurons in the lateral habenula of the subject can be suppressed. The pharmaceutical agent can include a vector expressing a target nucleotide sequence in the astrocytes in the lateral habenula, whose expression is configured to suppress Kir4.1 expression by RNA interference, or to block Kir4.1 functionality by a dominant negative effect of a mutant Kir4.1 protein. The pharmaceutical agent can alternatively comprise a small molecule compound, or an active macromolecule such as an anti-Kir4.1 antibody, configured to directly inhibit the astroglial potassium channel activity.

The invention provides a preparation method of total flavonoids of dragon's blood. The medicinal material of dragon's blood is crushed into a coarse powder, and a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethyl acetate is added, and the reflux extraction is carried out at 50-69°C for 2 times, each time for 15-60°C. 29 minutes will do. In addition, the present invention also provides the application of the total flavonoids of dragon's blood in the preparation of medicines for preventing and treating autoimmune diseases, medicines for weight loss, medicines for tumor diseases, medicines for acute and chronic respiratory diseases, and medicines for cardiovascular diseases. The total flavonoids of dragon's blood extracted by the invention are less toxic to animals than dragon's blood, and the activity of total flavonoids of dragon's blood in blocking Kv1. The enrichment of components removes impurities that may cause toxic and side effects, improves safety and enhances the blocking effect on Kv1.3 potassium channels; in addition, the total flavonoids of Dracaena japonicus have a higher affinity to Kv1.3 potassium channels Based on dragon's blood B, the synergistic effect of various active ingredients in blocking Kv1.3 potassium channel in the total flavonoids of dragon's blood was realized.
