Abstract:
The present invention relates to a long-acting interferon beta formulation having improved in vivo duration and stability, comprising an interferon beta conjugate that is prepared by covalently linking interferon beta with an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl polymer, and a preparation method thereof. The long-acting interferon beta formulation of the present invention maintains in vivo activity of interferon beta at a relatively high level and remarkably increases the serum half-life thereof, thereby being used for various diseases, for which interferon is efficacious.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for treating obesity-related diseases comprising an insulinotropic peptide conjugate, more particularly, to a composition for treating obesity-related diseases comprising a conjugate prepared by covalently linking the insulinotropic peptide with a carrier substance via a non-peptidyl linker, and a method for treating obesity-related diseases by using the same. In particular, the composition for treating obesity-related diseases according to the present invention remarkably improves the efficacy of suppressing food intake and its duration to reduce body weight and body fat, thereby being useful for the treatment of obesity-related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention shows that 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose inhibited angiogenesis. Therefore, a composition is provided for treating or preventing angiogenesis-dependent diseases, which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose or salt thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mutant microorganism having a high production of cadaverine, a preparation method of cadaverine using the same, and more specifically, to a mutant microorganism having a high production of cadaverine in which a gene involved in the degradation or use pathway of cadaverine is weakened or deleted, and a method for preparing putrescine in a high yield by cultivating the same under aerobic conditions. According to the present invention, the mutant microorganism having a high production of cadaverine is useful for preparing cadaverine, which is widely used by industries, in a high yield.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ethyl acetate fraction of Melissa leaf having excellent an- giogenesis and MMP inhibitory activities, and a composition comprising the same. In particular, the ethyl acetate fraction of Melissa leaf is characterized that Melissa leaf is extracted with 50-100% C1-C6 alcohol, and concentrated, and then the concentrated alcohol extract is suspended in water, and fractionated with ethyl acetate, and dried to obtain the ethyl acetate fraction of Melissa leaf. The ethyl acetate fraction of Melissa leaf of the present invention has strong and excellent anti- angiogenic and MMP inhibitory activities. Therefore, the composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of Melissa leaf of the present invention can be used as an agent for the treatment or prevention of angiogenesis -related diseases and MMP-mediated diseases.

Abstract:
The present invention provides antiobesity composition comprising extract of Melissa as an active ingredient, use of Melissa extract, and a method for suppressing obesity using the composition. Also, the present invention provides an antiobesity composition comprising extract of Melissa and extract of Mori Folium as active ingredients, use of a mixture of Melissa extract and Mori Folium extract, and a method for suppressing obesity using the composition. Further, the present invention provides an antiobesity composition comprising extract of Melissa, extract of Artemisia and extract of Mori Folium as active ingredients, use of a mixture of Melissa extract, Artemisia extract and Mori Folium extract, and a method for suppressing obesity using the composition. When the present compositions are administrated into genetically obese mice or high fat diet-induced obese mice, the present compositions reduced body weight, body fat and gonadal fat, and reduce blood cholesterol level and obesity-related blood glucose level. Also, the present compositions suppress hypertrophy of adipocytes, and inhibit the accumulation of lipid in the liver by reducing the size and number of lipid vacuoles. Furthermore, in human clinial trial the present compositions show that body weight, PIBW, body fat, especially visceral fat, apolipoprotin B concentration, ratio of total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and ratio of LDL cholesterol /HDL cholesterol are significantly decreased, and atherogenic index is improved and muscle mass is increased. Thus, the present compositions can be usefully applied as antiobesity composition for reduction of body weight and suppression of abdominal fat, particularly, visceral fat.
