Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition includes any of an extract of Magnoliae flos, a fraction or an active fraction obtained by fractionation thereof with an organic solvent, and a compound separated therefrom as an active ingredient. The extract of Magnoliae flos, the fraction or the active fraction obtained by fractionation thereof with an organic solvent, or the compound separated therefrom inhibits the expression of MUC5AC induced by TNF-α and the promoter activity in human lung cancer mucosal cells (H292), reduces the number of inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease mouse model, inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species, and reduces the cytokines; and therefore are effective in preventing or treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract:
(1aS,1bS,2S,4S,5aR,6S,6aS)-1a-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxy-2-(((2S,3R,5S5,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)octahydrooxireno[2′,3′:4,5]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyran-6-yl 4-hydroxybenzoate}, the isomer thereof, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvates thereof, a composition comprising the same as an active ingredient for treating allergic disease, inflammatory disease, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound as an active ingredient for preventing or treating asthma, and a functional health food composition for preventing or treating asthma. The monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound of the present invention inhibits the expression of IL-4 in EL-4 cells, which are mouse T cell lymphoma cells, reduces hypersensitivity of airway in an asthma-induced animal model, and inhibits the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the bronchial tube. In addition, the compounds of the present invention inhibit the generation of IgE in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, have an excellent effect of inhibiting the expression of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) in the lung, thereby overcome side effects of the currently used therapeutic agents for asthma, have no toxicity, and exhibit a superior therapeutic effect, and thus can be useful as a composition for preventing, treating, and alleviating asthma.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel compound isolated from spinach, and a composition comprising same for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases, and, more particularly, to a novel medicagenic acid glycoside compound isolated from spinach, a preparation method therefor, and a composition comprising same for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating obesity or diabetes, and to a food composition and feed composition for preventing or alleviating obesity or diabetes, comprising as an active ingredient, an Acanthopanax extract, a garcinia cambogia extract, or compounds isolated therefrom. The composition has synergistic antidiabetic and antiobesity activity compared to that of using only an Acanthopanax extract, a garcinia cambogia extract, or compounds isolated therefrom. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility of any side effects that may be caused by an overdose of or long-term administration of the garcinia cambogia extract and a substance isolated therefrom, and thus the composition can be very effectively utilized in the development of a therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition containing extracts from Garcinia cambogia and Acanthopanax for prevention or treatment of liver diseases and, more specifically, to a composition for prevention or treatment of liver disease, the composition containing, as active ingredients, (i) a Garcinia cambogia extract, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), or a derivative of hydroxycitric acid; and (ii) an Acanthopanax extract, Chiisanogenin, or a derivative of Chiisanogenin.
Abstract:
A compound (3R,5S,5aS,6R,7S,8R,8aS)-8-chloro-8a-hydroxy-5-(2-hydroxy acetoxy) hexahydro-1H-3,6-methanocyclopenta[e][1,3]dioxepin-7-yl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (KS534), the isomer thereof, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvates thereof, a composition comprising the same as an active ingredient for treating allergic disease, inflammatory disease, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound as an active ingredient for preventing or treating chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and a functional health food composition for treating or preventing chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The monoacetyldiacylglycerol compound of the present invention inhibits the IL-4 expression in EL-4 cells and inhibits the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the bronchial tube in an animal model. In addition, the compounds of the present invention have an excellent effect of inhibiting the expression of CXCL-1, TNF-α, or MIP-2, thereby overcoming side effects of the currently used therapeutic agents for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, having no toxicity, and exhibiting a superior therapeutic effect, and thus can be useful as a composition for preventing, treating, and alleviating chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
