Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmaceutical composition and a health supplement for liver function improvement containing a compound isolated from youngia denticulata as an active ingredient are provided to increase activity of detoxification enzyme of liver including Quinone reductase and Antioxidant response element. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition and a health supplement for liver function improvement containing a compound isolated from youngia denticulata as an active ingredient comprises a compound which is represented by chemical formula 3,4, or 5 as active ingredients. The compound of chemical formula 3,4, or 5 is Youngiaside A, Youngiaside B, and Youngiaside C. A health supplement composition for liver function improvement comprises compound of the chemical formulas of 3,4, or 5. The compound of chemical formula 3, 4, or 5 detoxifies carcinogenic materials by multiplying activity of quinone reductase. The compound of chemical formula 3, 4, or 5 also detoxifies carcinogenic materials by multiplying activity of the oxygen-resistant response factor(ARE) which induces activity of 2 phase detoxifying enzyme system.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition containing Youngia denticulate extract or compound isolated from the same are provided to induce activation of quinone reductase(QR) and to improve liver function. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition for preventing cancer contains Youngia denticulate extract as an active ingredient, which is isolated using water, organic solvent or mixture solvent thereof. An organic solvent is alcohol of C1-C4, acetic acid ethyl, methylene chloride, or chloroform. The Youngia denticulate extract detoxifies carcinogen by enhancing quinone reductase activation. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing cancer contains Youngia denticulate fraction as an active ingredient. The Youngia denticulate fraction is obtained by frequently fractioning Youngia denticulate extract using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The pharmaceutical composition for preventing cancer contains a compound of chemical formula 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
A 5-methylsophoraflavanone B isolated from an extract of Sophora flavascens is provided to show inhibitory effect on the activity of aldose reductase causing diabetic complications and prevent obesity by inhibiting differentiation of fat cells, thereby being usefully used for preventing or treating the diabetic complications or the obesity. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating diabetic complications or obesity comprises an extract of Sophora flavascens or 5-methylsophoraflavanone B isolated therefrom and represented by a formula(1) as an effective ingredient, wherein the extract of Sophora flavascens or the 5-methylsophoraflavanone B is prepared by extracting dried materials of Sophora flavascens roots with C1-4 alcohol to obtain the extract of Sophora flavascens, subjecting the extract to high speed liquid chromatography to isolate the 5-methylsophoraflavanone B and purifying the isolated 5-methylsophoraflavanone B. Further, the C1-4 alcohol is ethanol.
