Abstract:
The invention provides a method of using pregnadienones and pregnadienols represented by the structural formula (I): containing at least one olefinic bond in or on their D-ring for the treatment of hyperlipidemic and hyperglycemic conditions in mammals wherein X═OH or O and the olefinic bonds are at 4(5); 5(6); 16(17); or 17(20) or various combinations, and wherein the compounds contain at lest one olefinic bond in or on their D-ring. The method comprises administering an effective amount of said compounds to recipient mammals.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel substituted chalcone derivatives which exhibit anti-hyperglycemic and anti-dyslipedemic activity. The invention also provides a method for treating type II diabetes and associated hyperlipidemic conditions in a mammal by administering the compounds of the present invention and compositions containing these derivatives.
Abstract:
A process for the isolation of a lipid fraction containing Z & E guggulsterones useful as cholesterol lowering drug, which comprises soaking/soxhlet extracting the powdered aerial part of the plant C. wightii with a non polar solvent, filtering/deanting the extract, soaking the material again in a polar solvent, filtering and concentrating the extracted material under reduced pressure as to obtain a thick viscous extract, and subjecting the thick viscous extract to gel filteration/silica gel chromatography to obtain Z & E ketosteroid containing lipid fraction exhibiting hypolipidemic activity.
Abstract:
The production of artificial viral envelopes by a novel double-detergent dialysis technique is disclosed. Specifically exemplified is the production of HIV-1 and RSV viral envelopes. The resulting artificial viral envelopes are essentially identical to the natural virus with regard to characteristics which are relevant to immunogenicity and interacellular transfer of encapsulated material.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a process for the preparation of a fraction, mainly containing picroside I and kurrooa, from the plant Picrorhiza kurrooa.
Abstract:
A retractable vehicle shade is provided for vehicles which includes a hollow central box, a front sliding panel, and a rear sliding panel. The hollow central box is mounted on a rooftop of the vehicle. The front sliding panel is slidingly fitted into the box through a slot at the front end and configured to cover at least front glass pane. The rear sliding panel is slidingly fitted into the box through the slot at the rear end and configured to cover at least rear glass pane. The vehicle shade can further include a detach-ably attached water-proof stretchable fabric member for providing a datable layer over respective panels and central box. The fabric member has one or more elastic members which causes it to fold up along the end portions of the sliding panels on the top of box, when the panels are retracted backwards into the box.

Abstract:
The present invention provides appropriately substituted chalcones, such as, for example, represented by the structural formula as shown herein below Wherein R1, R2 and R3 are selected from the group consisting of H, OH, O-alkyl, O-phenyl and O-substituted phenyl; B represents Ar—Z—O or RO; where Z is an alkane having up to 5 carbon atoms; R is substituted propanol amino, wherein substituted amino groups are selected from the group consisting of t-butyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, i-propyl, 4-phenyl piperazine-1-yl, 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazin-1-yl and 3,4-dimethoxy phenethyl; and Ar is thiazolidine-dione methylene phenoxy. The compounds prepared have been demonstrated to exhibit significant antidiabetic effect in various animal models indicating potential for further exploitation.
