摘要:
A non-food anti-microbial-adhesion and aggregation composition comprising a suitable carrier and an effective amount of an adhesion inhibitory fraction isolated from juice from berries of the Vaccinium plant genus. In an embodiment the anti-aggregation and adhesion fraction is isolated from cranberry juice. It is characterized as being polymeric and having a molecular weight ≧14,000; an elemental analysis of carbon 43-51%, hydrogen 4-5%, no nitrogen, no sulfur and no chlorine; a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) line spectrum as set forth in FIGS. 2A and 2B; and an ultraviolet spectrum with an absorption peak at 280 nm in neutral or acidic pH solution which is absent in alkali solutions. This fraction exhibits adhesion inhibitory activity against P fimbriated bacteria, oral bacteria and Helicobacter pylori.

A non-food oral hygiene composition comprising a suitable carrier and an effective amount of an adhesion inhibitory fraction isolated from juice from berries of the Vaccinium plant genus. In a preferred embodiment the anti-aggregation fraction is isolated from cranberry juice. It is characterized as being polymeric and having a molecular weight .gtoreq.14,000; an elemental analysis of carbon 43-51%, hydrogen 4-5%, no nitrogen, no sulfur and no chlorine; an NMR line spectrum as set forth in FIGS. 2A and 2B; and an ultraviolet spectrum with an absorption peak at 280 nm in neutral or acidic pH solution which is absent in alkali solutions. This fraction exhibits adhesion inhibitory activity against both P fimbriated bacteria and oral bacteria.

摘要:
The present invention concerns the use as anti-viral agents of isolated fractions from berry juice of the plant genus Vaccinium. Two specific fractions are provided: (a) polymeric material having a molecular weight ≧12,000; and (b) proanthocyanidins-containing fraction. Thus, the invention provides methods of treating a subject against a viral infection; the method comprises providing said subject with at least one of the above isolated fractions in an amount effective to prevent production of a viral infection in said subject. A specific and preferred viral infection according to the invention is an influenza virus infection.
