Abstract: Disclosed herein are isolated compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which exhibit immunostimulatory or anti-inflammatory effects. The compounds are isolated from the fruiting body of A. camphorata in a solid culture. Also disclosed are methods of stimulating immune responses and/or treating an inflammatory disorder with these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for alleviating allergic asthma by using a bitter melon composition. The bitter melon composition comprises at least an effective amount of conjugated linolenic acid (CLN), wherein the bitter melon composition is administered to a subject suffering from allergic asthma to alleviate its symptoms. In the future, the bitter melon composition can be developed to as a health food, so as to prevent asthma, or alleviate the various symptoms of allergic asthma, such as airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), airway inflammation, infiltration of inflammatory cell in lung tissue, or high level of serum IgE.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds having estrogenic activity selected from the group consisting of Loliolide, (4S,6S)-4-Hydroxy-6-nonadecyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-one, (4R,6S)-4-Hydroxy-6-nonadecyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-one and analogues thereof. The compounds of the present invention are selective estrogen receptor modulator, which can selectively activate ER? and simultaneously express high estrogenic activity, and also can be applied as medical or food compositions to improve estrogen deficiency-related symptoms.
