Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition with an activity of protecting brain cells is provided to ensure antioxidative activity and to prevent and treat neurodegenerative brain cells. CONSTITUTION: A pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating neurodegenerative brain diseases contains acid hydrolytic fraction of Polygalae Radix crude extract as an active ingredient. The crude extract is isolated using water, methanol, ethanol, butanol or mixture solvent thereof. A method for preparing the acid hydrolytic fraction comprises: a step of extracting dried Polygalae Radix with polar solvent by heating, ultrasonic extraction, reflux extraction to obtain Polygalae Radix crude extract; a step of adding hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, diluted sulfuric acid or acetic acid; a step of heating at 50-100°C for 12-48 hours; a step of adding sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate; and a step of fractioning the acid hydrolysate solution with ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and acetone by solvent-solvent distribution.
