Abstract: The invention discloses phytochemical agents derived from Holoptelea integrifolia and novel composition(s) comprising at least one component selected from the extract(s), fraction(s) and active compound(s) for the protection and alleviation of Metabolic Syndrome, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes and other disease conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. The invention also discloses the amelioration of certain biomarker molecules such as Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-?), Adipose Differentiation Related Protein (ADRP), CD36, Adipocyte Fatty-acid-Binding Protein (aP2/FABP-4/A-FABP), beta-3 Adrenergic Receptor (?3AR), Leptin, Perilipin and Adiponectin by using the phytochemical components derived from Holoptelea integrifolia.

Abstract: This invention describes a process for producing a fraction enriched with jujubogenin and psudojujubogenin lycosides from Bacopa species, wherein the total Bacopa saponin concentration is up to 100% when estimated by HPLC method of analysis. The present invention also describes the processes for the enrichment of new compositions and individual saponin compounds from Bacopa monnieri to more than 95% purity. It further describes an analytical HPLC method for the estimation of total Bacopa saponin fraction and its use in therapeutic applications. This invention also includes two Bacopa saponin 3-O-[?-D-glucopyranosyl-(1?3)-?-D-glucopyranosyl] jujubogenin and 3-O-[?-D-glucopyranosyl-(1?3)-?-D-glucopyranosyl] pseudojujubogenin herein referred to as bacopaside N1 of general formula (1) and bacopaside N2 of general formula (2) respectively.

Abstract: Herbal compositions having anti-adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (aP2), anti-5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) and anti-Cysteinyl Leukotriene (CysLT)-1 receptor expression activity contain an extract of Boswellia serrata. More particularly, these herbal compositions comprise an effective amount of an enriched Boswellia extract containing from 10% to 99% by weight of 3-0-acetyl-11-keto-?-boswellic acid; and an effective amount of a second extract selected from the group consisting of an extract of Aegle marmelos, an extract of Zingiber officinale, an extract of Garcinia mangostana, and mixtures thereof. These may be used in dietary supplements or pharmaceutical formulations for controlling diseases associated with or related to inflammation. These diseases in particular include respiratory disorders such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, hay fever, type-1 hypersensitivity and mild allergies. The compositions can also be useful for skin care.
