摘要:
Disclosed herein are a leaf and stem extract of Aster koraiensis, a root extract of Aster koraiensis, a flower extract of Aster koraiensis, a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications, a health functional food for the improvement of diabetic complications, and a pharmaceutical composition and health functional food for the prevention or delay of aging, in which each of the compositions and the foods contain, as an active ingredient, at least one of said Aster koraiensis extracts. Each of the extracts is obtained by drying and finely cutting each of the leaf and stem part, root and flower of Aster koraiensis, extracting the cut plant with alcohol or aqueous alcohol solution, filtering the extracted solution and concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. Also disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications, a health functional food for the improvement of diabetic complications, and a pharmaceutical composition and health functional food for the prevention or delay of aging, which contain, as an active ingredient, at least one of fractions obtained by fractionating each of said Aster koraiensis extracts in the order of hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fractions. The leaf and stem extract of Aster koraiensis, the root extract of Aster koraiensis and the flower extract of Aster koraiensis have the effect of inhibiting the production of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), the causes of diabetic complications, and effectively inhibit aldose redductase (AR) activity. Thus, the disclosed extracts will be highly useful for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications and the prevention of aging.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the obesity-curative or obesity-preventive effect of a Polygonum cuspidatum butanol fraction and a Polygonum cuspidatum ethylacetate fraction, and more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition and a functional food for treating obesity, the pharmaceutical composition and the functional food comprising a Polygonum cuspidatum butanol fraction (POCU-1b) and an ethylacetate fraction as active ingredients, wherein the Polygonum cuspidatum butanol fraction and the ethylacetate fraction inhibit effectively the activity of pancreatic lipase, an important enzyme involving in fat absorption in a living body, and have excellent inhibitory effect on fat absorption in the short term fat absorption-inhibitory animal experiments using lipid emulsions.

The present invention relates to a treatment agent for diabetic complications, and a method for the treatment of diabetic complications using the same. The present invention confirmed that Osteomeles sch werinae extract and its fractions inhibited the generation of AGEs, the index for diabetic complications, inhibited the activation of aldose reductase, had anti-cataract activity, and had anti-oxidative activity. Thus, the present invention relates to a preventive and therapeutic agent for diabetic complications containing the said Osteomeles sch werinae extract and its fraction as an active ingredient.
