  • Publication number: 20220257550
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination of elafibranor with either riboflavin or DHA as antiviral agent. The bacteriophage T4 titer on E. coli that is increased by elafibranor in comparison to an untreated control is reversed by the combination of elafibranor with riboflavin or elafibranor with DHA. Therefore, these combinations decrease adverse side effects of elafibranor on the gut microbiota.

  • Patent number: 10682334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of mixtures of vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as agents for the prevention, control and/or treatment of conditions associated with excessive fat accumulation in the liver which is not caused by alcohol abuse. This includes prevention, control and/or treatment of non-alcoholic steatosis in the liver—known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—and/or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of such compounds comprising vitamin E acetate and DHA EE as active ingredients in the manufacture of medicaments for the prevention, control and/or treatment of conditions related to NAFLD.

  • Publication number: 20200129531
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systemic detoxification by using extracts of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) and its Nrf2-activating components withaferin-A, 12-deoxywithastramonolide, and Quresimine A. When ingested, the transcription factor Nrf2, which is a crucial element in intracellular detoxification pathways, leads to elimination of potentially toxic compounds. In parallel, the expression of inflammatory cytokines is decreased. Therefore, the extract can be used to reduce the adverse effects of air pollution generally (and especially of particulate air pollution), which includes: cardiovascular problems, respiratory diseases, and chronic inflammation of tissues that come into contact with air borne particles.
