摘要:
Certain phosphocholine derivatives having substantial antifungal therapeutic activity are disclosed. The phosphocholine derivatives may be chemically synthesized, enzymatically prepared or extracted from the plant Irlbachia alata. The phosphocholine derivatives are useful in treating fungal infections including those which are dermatophytic, systemic, ophthalmic and vaginal.
摘要:
The use of extracts from Cryptolepis sp. or quindoline alkaloids such quindoline and cryptolepine contained therein as hypoglycemic agents, as well as methods for obtaining the hypoglycemic agents are described. According to a preferred embodiment, the extracts are derived from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. As hypoglycemic agents, the extracts or quindoline alkaloids such as quindoline or cryptolepine are useful for treating insulin-dependent (type I) and non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes.

摘要:
Methods for determining whether a biological macromolecule binds to a compound are disclosed. The methods include: a) obtaining a Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrum of a solution which contains a biological macromolecule and obtaining a Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrum of a solution which includes a compound; b) obtaining a Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrum of a solution which contains the biological macromolecule and compound of step a); c) subtracting the Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrum of the biological macromolecule of step a) and the Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrum of the compound of step a) from the Fourier-Transform spectrum of step b) to determine a subtracted index; and d) determining that the compound of step a) binds to the biological macromolecule of step a) when the subtracted index of step c) is not equal to zero.
