  • Publication number: 20070031332
    Abstract: An extract of Chinese blackberry (Rubus suavissimus) has been found to inhibit angiogenesis, and two active fractions isolated. Gallic acid was shown to be one of the active anti-angiogenic compounds by an in vitro human angiogenesis model. Aqueous extracts from other plants either known or found to have gallic acid were also found to have anti-angiogenic activity. Various derivatives of gallic acid were found to inhibit angiogenesis. The extract from Chinese blackberry also slowed the growth of a pancreatic tumor and of corneal neovascularization in rats. Extracts from pomegranate were shown to inhibit angiogenesis in fat tissue. Extracts from Rubus spp, and other plants with gallic acid, and gallic acid and its derivatives will be useful for treating various diseases associated with neovascularization, including diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, tumors, obesity, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

  • Publication number: 20070020194
    Abstract: Methods are described for suppressing appetite through the intranasal administration of a sodium channel blocker. It has long been known that smell and taste are an important part of how the body prepares for a meal, for example the cephalic phase of insulin release before a meal. Depressing the sense of smell or taste in subjects prior to meals leads to decreased food intake, which ultimately leads to weight loss. The ability to deliver drugs to the CSF via intranasal application also provide anorexiant central effect.
