Abstract:
A therapeutic agent HJ001 isolated from Citrus reticulata Blanco is provided to inhibit growth of cancer cells and reduce expressions of IL-3(interleukin-3), IL-6, IL-12p40p70, IL-12p70 and SCF(stem cell factor) and increase expressions of IL-10 and TNF(tumor necrosis factor), so that it is useful for treatment of cancer and inflammatory disease. A method for preparing the extract of Citrus reticulata Blanco HJ001 comprises the steps of: dipping Citrus reticulata Blanco powder in water and filtering the solution; passing the filtered solution through the column packed with fillers HP-20 and collecting passed solution; mixing the collected solution with water-saturated ethylacetate to transfer it into an ethylacetate layer; inducing layer separation of the mixture into the ethylacetate layer and water layer, and separating the water layer; mixing the water layer with water-saturated butanol and separating a butanol layer; absorbing the butanol layer to TLC(thin layer chromatography) silica; subjecting the TLC silica by using chloroform, methanol and water as development solvent and separating the developed portion; dissolving the developed portion in butanol, and filtering and concentrating the solution; freeze-drying the filtered solution to obtain materials Fr1 and Fr2; and separating the Fr2 from the Fr1 and Fr2.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmaceutical composition containing tranexamic acid for preventing or treating Parkinson's disease is provided to prevent apoptosis of nerve cells in neuroblastoma(SH-SY5Y) and to suppress caspase 3 activation. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating Parkinson's disease or similar disease contains tranexamic acid of chemical formula 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. The compound of chemical formula 1 forms an additive salt by reacting with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acid, organic acid, or base. The base is sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium. The inorganic acid is hydrochloric acid, or sulfuric acid. The organic acid is acetic acid or maleic acid. The composition is manufactured in the form of tablet, powder, elixir, suspension, emulsion, solution, syrup, aerosol, soft or hard gelatin capsule, or sterilized injection solution.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A cDNA microarray chip for diagnosing Parkinson's disease is provided to monitor gene expression pattern from a patient with Parkinson's diseases and to easily select a target gene. CONSTITUTION: A microarray chip for diagnosing Parkinson's diseases contains a gene of which expression is specifically increased or decreased in MPTP(1-methyl-4phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine). The gene is calcium signaling pathway-relating gene and receptor thereof, cyclin AMP pathway-relating gene, or transcription factor. A method for screening a therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease is performed using microarray chip. The therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease is a material which controls expression level by binding to antisense oligonucleotide, peptide, small molecular compound, antibody or target gene promoter.
