  • Patent number: 8349374
    Abstract: Noni juice and a protein-free, alcohol precipitate of Noni juice inhibited angiogenesis in in vitro human angiogenesis models. When growth medium contained Noni juice at least over the range from about 2.5% to about 33% (by volume), angiogenesis was blocked. Moreover, Noni juice and an ethanol precipitate were able to destroy a pre-existing angiogenic response as well as prevent the development of new vessels. Noni juice was effective in inhibiting the growth of angiogenic vessels from breast cancer explants. It will also be effective in treating cancers and non-cancerous diseases whose response includes an increase in angiogenesis, e.g., retinopathy of prematurity, neovascular glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and psoriasis. In an initial experiment, Noni juice was effective in treating lesions associated with psoriasis. The primary antiangiogenic component is believed to be a carbohydrate with a molecular weight less than about 6000 Daltons.

The primary antiangiogenic component is believed to be a carbohydrate with a molecular weight less than about 6000 Daltons. In an initial experiment, oral administration of Noni juice appeared to adversely affect the antioangiogenic component(s) in the juice.

  • Patent number: 7427662
    Abstract: Apolipoprotein A-I-rich Lhigh-density Lipoprotein 2 (HDL2) and Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) was discovered to inhibit angiogenesis in an in vitro human angiogenesis model, the human placental vein angiogenesis model. Apolipoprotein A-I was able to destroy a pre-existing angiogenic response as well as prevent the development of new vessels. Application of Apolipoprotein A-I will be effective in inhibiting tumor growth dependent on angiogenesis, and in decreasing existing blood vessels formed by tumors. It will also be effective in treating non-cancerous diseases which symptoms include an increase in angiogenesis, e.g., psoriasis, retinopathy of prematurity, neovascular glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, obesity, and psoriasis.
