Abstract:
PURPOSE: A lignan compound isolated from magnolia floss or extract of magnolia floss having excellent inhibition activity for generation of leukotrienes is provided, which can be used as a medicine for various inflammatory disease like as asthma, whooping cough, arthritis, septic shock, ischemia, allergic rhinitis related with activity of leukotrienes. CONSTITUTION: A lignan compound is gained by the process of: extracting from magnolia floss using primary alcohol like as methanol; concentration; adding distilled water and hexane; isolating hexane layer; concentrating and adding ethylacetate; isolating ethylacetate layer; concentrating and separating by silicagel column chromatography; gaining dimethoxy aschantin of formula 1, aschantin of formula 2, fargesin from 8th part, and gaining pinoresinol dimethyl ether of formula 4, mandolin, liroresinol-B-dimethyl ether and (+)-epimandolin A from 11th part using reverse-phase silicagel column chromatography and high speed liquid column chromatography repeatedly.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Provided is a novel use of essential oil obtained by vapor distillation of plants and showing the inhibitory action against the production of leukotriene as a mediator of inflammation. CONSTITUTION: An inhibitor of leukotriene production comprises at least a compound selected from the group consisting of (-)-menthol, (+)-limonene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, terpineol, beta-myrcene, (±)-linaloo, geraniol, citral, beta-cyclocitral, eugenol, safrole, (+)-alpha-pinene, (-)-alpha-pinene, and (+)-cis-verbenol, as an effective components. Preferably, the inhibitor comprises eugenol or safrole as an active ingredient. The inhibitor can be used for a variety of inflammatory diseases including asthma, whooping cough, psoriasis, arthritis, inflammatory intestine diseases, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic shock, myocardial ischemia, cardiac anaphylaxis, cerebral vasospasm, ischemia and allergic rhinitis.
