摘要:
An antiviral agent of an antiviral ability against various viruses and a method of producing the same are provided. A heat treatment is applied to a calcium-containing substance represented by calcium carbonate-containing substances originating from the animal such as clamshell, eggshell, crustacean shell, bone, coral, and pearl, and calcium carbonate-containing minerals such as limestone. When a temperature of the heat treatment is not less than 650° C. and less than a melting point of the calcium component-containing substance, a sufficient time of the heat treatment is 2 to 13 hours.

The present invention relates to the use of Indian Green Mussel (Perna viridis) as a source of anti-HIV activity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of an extract of Indian Green Mussel (Perna viridis) as a source of anti-HIV activity in vitro.
摘要:
An immunosuppressive agent, obtainable from the nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus, characterised in that the agent has a molecular weight of less than 12 kDa, is resistant to proteinase K and is not bound to a polypeptide.
摘要:
Provided herein is a method for extracting lipid fractions from marine and aquatic animal material by acetone extraction. The resulting non-soluble and particulate fraction is preferably subjected to an additional solvent extraction with an alcohol, preferably ethanol, isopropanol or t-butanol or an ester of acetic acid, preferably ethyl acetate to achieve extraction of the remaining soluble lipid fraction from the marine and aquatic animal material. The remaining non-soluble particulate contents is also recovered since it is enriched in proteins and contains a useful amount of active enzymes. Also provided herein is a krill extract.
摘要:
Anti-inflammatory, and particularly anti-arthritic, treatment of a human or animal patient comprises administration to the patient of an effective amount of a lipid extract of Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for preparation of biologically active substances and has the following characteristic features: (a) nacre is reduced to a powder whose grain size is less than approximately 200 &mgr;m; (b) it is placed in close contact with an aqueous solvent, (c) at the end of the contact period, the insoluble fraction is separated out to give the aqueous fraction; (d) the solvent of the aqueous fraction is concentrated to separate out the soluble or water-transportable fraction of the nacre, which is made up of biologically active substances with essentially no mineral components. The invention likewise relates to the products obtained by this method, their use for medicinal purposes and the compositions containing them.
