  • Active component of parathyroid hypertensive factor
    Patent number: 5739274
    Abstract: An active component of parathyroid hypertensive factor (PHF) which comprises a polypeptide linked to a phospholipid has been identified. The component has activities substantially similar to parathyroid hypertensive factor and therefore is indicated in the control of extracellular calcium uptake, and is related to hypertension and some other diseases in mammals. Method for screening patients for the presence of the circulating factor using antibodies against the component are described. Antagonists of the parathyroid hypertensive factor component have been developed and their use in methods of treating patients with diseases which involve intracellular calcium elevation are also described.

  • Composition and method for treatment of senile dementia
    Patent number: 5137878
    Abstract: Ginsenosides Rb.sub.1 and Rg.sub.1 enhance the availability of acetylcholine in the cortical and hippocampal regions of the brain and alleviaate the symptoms of Alzheimer-type senile dementia. The Rb.sub.1 or Rg.sub.1 may be administered together with a metabolic precursor for acetylcholine and/or with a cholinesterase inhibitor.Pure Rb.sub.1 is located from a mixture of ginsenosides by a process involving vacuum chromatography on silica gel. Preferably, the mixture of ginsenosides is enriched in Rb.sub.1 by partition between an aqueous system and water ethyl acetatebutanol.
