Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new process for effectively converting the chirality of 4- or 5-position carbon of a 1,4-lactone- or 1,5-lactone sugar compound which comprises reacting the lactone compound with secondary amine and sulfonyl group-containing compound. The compound of which chirality is converted according to the present invention can be advantageously used for preparing such expensive rare sugar compounds as L-ribose, D-talose, etc.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an extract of Tiarella polyphylla, and tiarellic acid isolated therefrom having anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic activity. The extract of Tiarella polyphylla and the tiarellic acid isolated therefrom shows the inhibitory effect on the LTC4 release in vitro test and the suppressive effect on the IgE level and the cytokine (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13) production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and leukocyte infiltration in OVA-induced asthmatic mice. Therefore, it can be used as the therapeutics or functional health food for treating and preventing inflammatory, allergic and asthmatic disease.
