Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for discriminating nephrotoxicity of a drug and a method for screening a nephrotoxicity-inducing material are provided to accurately determine nephrotoxicity with high sensitivity and specificity. CONSTITUTION: A method for determining nephrotoxicity of a drug comprises: a step of measuring concentration 1 of acetate and dimethyl glycine contained in urine from a drug-injected individual; a step of comparing concentration 1 with concentration 2 of acetate and dimethyl glycine contained in urine from a control group; and a step of determining whether concentration 1 is significantly changed. A method for screening a nephrotoxicity-inducing material comprises: a step of injecting a test composition or a test compound into an individual as an experimental group; a step of measuring and comparing the concentration of acetate and dimethyl glycine contained in urine from a control group; and a step of selecting a test composition or test compound which significantly changes the concentration of acetate and dimethyl glycine compared with the control group.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for determining nephrotoxicity using concentration change of acetate and trimethylamine-N-oxide(TMAO) contained in urine is provided to ensure high sensitivity and specificity. CONSTITUTION: A method for determining nephrotoxicity of a drug comprises: a step of measuring the concentration 1 of acetate and trimethylamine-N-oxide(TMAO) contained in urine which is injected with a drug; a step of comparing the concentration 2 of acetate and TMAO contained in urine from a control group; and a step of determining whether the concentration 1 is significantly changed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for determining nephrotoxicity of a drug using concentration change of acetate and citrate contained in urine is provided to ensure high sensitivity and specificity and to develop a safety novel drug. CONSTITUTION: A method for determining nephrotoxicity of a drug comprises: a step of measuring the concentration 1 of acetate and citrate contained in urine from a drug-injected individual; a step of comparing the concentration 1 with the concentration 2 of acetate and citrate contained in urine from a control group; and a step of determining whether the concentration 1 is significantly changed. The individual is a mammal exclusive of humans.
Abstract:
A skin-whitening composition comprising the extract of Broussonetia kazinoki var. humilis is provided to develop the novel skin-whitening composition having improved skin-whitening activity and reduced side effects by using natural products. The skin-whitening composition comprises the extract of Broussonetia kazinoki var. humilis as an effective ingredient, wherein the extract of Broussonetia kazinoki var. humilis is prepared by extracting Broussonetia kazinoki var. humilis with water or organic solvent at room temperature or increased temperature; and the composition is applied to cosmetics having formulation of soft lotion, nutrition lotion, nutrition cream, massage cream, essence, pack or powder, medicines or food.
