To provide an inkjet ink polymer capable of providing an inkjet ink capable of forming a printed product having excellent weather resistance, print density (coloring properties), and fixability (abrasion properties) with good productivity and providing a pigment dispersion having excellent dispersibility with good productivity. An inkjet ink copolymer contains 10 to 99% by weight of a cyclohexyl methacrylate unit and 1 to 90% by weight of an acrylic acid unit. The purpose is achieved by an inkjet ink pigment dispersion containing the inkjet ink copolymer and a pigment.

Highly safe cytokine production inhibitors, agents for protecting and promoting liver function, anti-inflammatory agents and immunosuppressants. Brazilian licorice extract and periandrins, which are constituents thereof, have excellent characteristics of showing effects of inhibiting cytokine production and protecting and promoting liver function, an anti-inflammatory effect and an immunosuppressive effect without any harmful side effects. Thus use of Brazilian licorice extract or periandrins as cytokine production inhibitors makes it possible to inhibit inflammations in various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. These substances are also usable as agents for protecting and promoting liver function, anti-inflammatory agents and immunosuppressants. Moreover, foods, cosmetics, sweeteners and food materials containing Brazilian licorice extract exert the effects as described above.
