  • COMPOSITIONS OF BAKUCHIOL AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110223267
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions of bakuchiol (UP246) having low levels of impurities, particularly furanocoumarin impurities. The present invention further provides improved methods for the isolation, purification and analysis of compositions of bakuchiol. Finally, the present invention provides methods for using the purified bakuchiol compositions and formulations thereof for the prevention and treatment of various diseases and conditions mediated by cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), minor inflammatory conditions and various microbial infections. The methods of this invention are comprised of administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of the composition of this invention together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

  • Method for generating, screening and dereplicating natural product libraries for the discovery of therapeutic agents
    Publication number: 20030113797
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a technology platform, referred to as Phytologix™ for the discovery of novel bioactive pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic agents. Specifically, this invention includes an integrated system for the collection of medicinal plants and creation of informatic databases related to these plants. This invention also relates to an improved standardized extraction and fractionation process, which provides significant advantages over the prior art in the terms of simplicity, efficiency of the separations, the quality of the library, low cost of the process and extraordinary throughput. This invention provides details to the structure dereplication process by utilizing the technology such as HPLC/PDA/MS coupled with high throughput bioassay data and an internal pure compound library. It has been proven to be much more efficient and accurate when compared to the prior art methods.
