Abstract: The present invention relates to process of purifying the angiogensis inhibitor proteins expressed in E. coli and to the use of recombinant kringle 1-3 (; greenstatin) purified by the above process as a angiogenesis inhibitor and an anticancer agent. Particularly, according to the process of purifying the protein, the angiogenesis inhibitor proteins overexpressed are solubilized, refolded, and purified as a pure and active form. The greenstatin purified by the process specifically suppresses endothelial cell proliferation, anaiogenesis, and the growth of lung cancer, skin cancer, and brain tumor. Therefore, the process of this invention is applicable to the mass-production of angiogenesis inhibitor proteins such as greenstatin which is useful for the treatment of glaucoma, retinopathy, and cancers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of rosmarinic acid and/or derivatives thereof as immunosuppressive agents and/or as inhibitor of SH2 domain function. Disclosed in the present invention is that rosmarinic acid and derivatives thereof specifically inhibit the binding of ligand peptides to Lck SH2 domain, disturb the Lck-mediated signal transduction in T cells, also inhibit cytoline gene expression, and suppress immune responses in the transplanted tissue. These activities of rosmarinic acid and derivatives thereof support their applicability to treatment, prevention and/or diagnosis of graft rejection, GVHD, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, etc.
