摘要:
An interferon inducer isolated from the plant tissue, having an elemental analysis of H: 8.5-8.7 %, C: 48.8-49 %, N: 6.3-6.5 % and P: 1.0-1.1 % and a molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 3,000,000 (mainly about 200,000 to about 1,000,000) and containing as main constituents amino acids, sugars and phosphoric acid. This substance is believed to be a homogeneous polymer of protein and sugars, containing phosphoric acid. This substance has an excellent interferon inducing activity and low toxicity and is significantly active against various viruses. The interferon inducer may be produced by extracting a substance having interferon inducing activity from the tissue of a plant of the genus Perilla of the family Labiatae or a variant thereof containing said active substance and recovering the active substance from the extract thereby obtained. Preferably, the extraction may be effected with water and the recovery may be effected by ultrafiltration. Pharmaceutical composition of this invention comprises as active ingredient the interferon inducer of this invention in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or excipient.
摘要:
An interferon inducer is produced by extracting a tissue of a plant belonging to the Gound family selected from the group consisting of Benincasa, Cucurbita, Citrullus, Cucumia, Lagenaria, Luffa, Mormordica, Tricsanthes and their variants by water extraction at a temperature of from ambient to the boiling point of the extraction mixture, forming a supernatant from the extracted solution, fractionating the supernatant to yield fractions containing the interferon inducer and recovering same.
摘要:
A process for producing interferon inducers from the plants, comprising extracting a water-soluble interferon inducer with water from the tissue of a plant selected from the genera Atractylodes, Lonicera, Plantago, Lithospermum, Ligusticum, Cnidium, Bupleurum, Notopeterygium, Heracleum, Aralia, Panax, Polygala, Sophora, Euchresta, Astragalus, Sinomenium, Stephania, Cocculus, Cimicifuga, Rheum, Gastroida, Asparagus, Pinellia, Evoida and variants thereof capable of producing said interferon inducer at a temperature of from ambient to the boiling point of the extraction mixture for a period sufficient to extract the major portion of said interferon inducer present in the plant tissue, forming a supernatant, fractionating the supernatant to yield fractions containing the major portion of said interferon inducer in the supernatant and recovering said interferon inducer therefrom. Preferably, the fractionation may be effected by ultrafiltration. The interferon inducers thus obtained have a molecular weight of from about 30,000 to about 3,000,000 and are of potential interest for preventing and treating various diseases of humans and animals caused by viral infection.

An interferon inducer isolated from the plant tissue, having an elemental analysis of H:7.4.+-.0.4%, C: 45.6.+-.0.4%, N: 13.5.+-.0.4%, P: 2.8.+-.0.3% and a molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 3,000,000 (mainly about 200,000 to about 1,000,000) and containing as main chemical constituents amino acids and phosporic acid. This substance is believed to be a homogeneous polymer of protein and phosphoric acid.This substance has an excellent interferon inducing activity and low toxicity and is significantly active upon various viruses. This interferon inducer may be produced by extracting a substance having interferon inducing activity from the tissue of a plant of the genus Artemisia of the family Compositae or a variant thereof containing the said active substance with water and recovering the active substance from the extracted solution. The recovery may preferably be effected by ultrafiltration. Pharmaceutical composition of this invention comprises as active ingredient the said active substance in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or excipient.
摘要:
A process for producing an interferon inducer by extracting a substance having interferon inducing activity with water from the tissue of a plant selected from the genus Carthamus and variants thereof containing the said active substance to give an extracted solution, forming a supernatant from the extracted solution, fractionating the supernatant to yield fractions containing a major portion of the said active substance present in the supernatant and recovering the said active substance therefrom, characterized by fractionating the supernatant to yield fractions containing the said active substance having a molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 200,000. Preferably the seed may be used as the tissue and the fractionation may be effected by ultrafiltration using a membrane capable of fractionating substances having the above-mentioned molecular weight.

An interferon inducer isolated from the plant tissue, having an elemental analysis of H: 6.54.+-.0.3% C: 41.9.+-.0.3%, N: 2.39.+-.0.3% and P: 0.28.+-.0.03% and a molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 3,000,000 (mainly about 200,000 to about 1,000,000) and containing as main constituents amino acids, sugars and phosphoric acid. This substance is believed to be a homogeneous polymer of protein and sugars, containing phosphoric acid. This substance has an excellent interferon inducing activity and low toxicity and is significantly active against various viruses. The interferon inducer may be produced by extracting a substance having interferon inducing activity from the tissue of a plant of the genus Carthamus of the family Compositae or a variant thereof containing said active substance and recovering the active substance from the extract thereby obtained. Preferably, the active substance may be extracted from the flower of this plant with water and the recovery may be effected by ultrafiltration using a membrane capable of fractionating substances having a molecular weight of from 200,000 to 1,000,000. Pharmaceutical composition of this invention comprises as active ingredient the interferon inducer of this invention in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or excipient.
