Abstract: A method of treating CD33+ acute and chronic myeloid leukemia in animals including humans, using fraction nos. 1 and 9 obtained from water:methanol fraction by column chromatography, with ratio of water and methanol ranging between 1:5 to 5:1, wherein said water:methanol fraction is obtained from the polar extract of Piper betel by HPLC, with retention time of 3.6 and 24.0 minutes respectively, with said fractions used both individually, and in combination.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition useful for treating chronic myeloid leukemia where Bcr-Abl kinase is constitutively expressed in animals and humans, and a treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) by a composition comprising an effective amount of analogs and/or salts of chlorogenic acid. The analogs are preferably sodium chlorogenate (Na-Chl) or potassium or ammonium salts, which were prepared from Chlorogenic acid or its analogs.

Abstract: This invention relates to use of betel leaf extract to induce IFN? from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and as a Th1 type immuno modulator, wherein the said method comprises the steps of, preparing water extract of betel leaf, preparation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, incubation of hPBMC with betel leaf extract for a period of 18-48 hours, extraction of RNA for cytokine specific RT-PCR or for flow cytometry for the detection of intracellular cytokine protein, subjecting RNA for RT-PCR to obtain PCR products using IFN? specific known primers, and enhancement of IFN? as reflected by IFN? specific band.
