Abstract:
Provided are an anti-Alzheimer′s pharmaceutical composition and a functional health food for alleviating Alzheimer′s, wherein a water-soluble monomer derived from a hot water extract of a Phellinus linteus fruit body is contained as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition and functional health food according to the present invention inhibit the activity of beta secretase related to the production and accumulation of beta amyloid peptides which are considered to be the cause of Alzheimer′s. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical composition containing water-soluble polysaccharides can be utilized as a medical product or a functional health food for preventing or treating Alzheimer′s.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmacological composition containing acorn extract is provided to reduce production of iNOS, COX-2 and nitric oxide and to ensure anti-inflammatory effect. CONSTITUTION: A composition with an anti-inflammatory activity contains 0.1-250 ug/ml of water or alcohol extract of acorn. The composition is used for treating or preventing rhinitis, bronchitis, hepatitis, pleurisy, peritonitis, arthritis(rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, cute gouty arthritis), asthma, chondromalacia, and coalescing spondylitis. The composition further contains pharmaceutically or sitologically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluents.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A low molecular weight chitosan oilgosaccharide with anti-asthma activity, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same are provided to ensure a high anti-asthma effect, and to prevent and treat asthma. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating asthma contains chitosan oligosaccharide as an active ingredient. The low molecular weight chitosan oligosaccharide contains 3-5 glycosamines. The low molecular weight chitosan oligosaccharide suppresses the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and TNF-alpha in a lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The low molecular weight chitosan oligosaccharide is administered in a concentration of 5-20 mg/kg body weight.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmacological composition and a medicinal product containing Quercus acutissima CARR extract which prevents or treats asthma is provided to ensure an anti-asthma effect with safety and to be used in medicinal products or health functional foods. CONSTITUTION: A pharmacological composition for anti-asthma contains 50-500 mg/kg of alcohol extract of Quercus acutissima CARR as an active ingredient. The extract suppresses the expression of Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) and IL-4, IL-13, TNF-alpha cytokines in lung tissues. The extract contains tannic acids and is prepared using non-polar solvent. A medicinal product for preventing or treating asthma contains the pharmacological composition as an active ingredient and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
Abstract:
본 발명은 염증질환을 예방 및 치료할 수 있는 항염증 활성을 갖는 도토리 추출물 및 이 추출물을 함유하는 약리적 조성물에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 따르면, 대식세포에서 내독소인 LPS에 의해 증가된 iNOS, COX-2 그리고 nitric oxide의 생성량을 감소시키는 도토리 에탄올 추출물이 비염, 지관지염, 간염, 관절염, 천식, 아토피성 피부염 등 염증반응 관련 질병들에 대해 항염증 효과를 발휘하면서 이들 질병 예방과 치료에 도움을 줄 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다.
