  • Patent number: 8729034
    Abstract: Acaciaside-B (Ac-B) has emerged as a prospective candidate molecule for prevention of HIV infection along with potential for use as/in vaginal contraceptive/formulation. It possesses anti-HIV property at a tolerably low concentration, is non-mutagenic and does not harm the niche of Lactobacilli. Thus Ac-B appears to be a superior ingredient for formulations of a chemical barrier against HIV-1 infection wherein its spermicidal property is superfluous.

  • Publication number: 20140121177
    Abstract: A soy saponin composition is provided high bodily absorption characteristics. In an embodiment, a soyasapogenol composition comprises soyasapogenol B and 3-O-D-glucuronopyranosyl soyasapogenol B. The weight ratio (B/A) of the 3-O-D-glucuronopyranosyl soyasapogenol B to the soyasapogenol B is in the range of 0.001-10. The composition can be produced by partial decomposition of a sugar chain residue of a soy saponin B group glycoside utilizing an acid.

  • Publication number: 20140121176
    Abstract: Wash compositions for topical application are described. The compositions can be stable and well tolerated. Also described, are methods of using such compositions as cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. For example, the compositions can be used for cleansing the skin, preferably of acne patients, without compromising the skin barrier or resulting in over-compensation of sebum production. A topical wash composition is also described that can include: a) at least one surfactant; b) a zinc salt of gluconic acid; and c) a salt or derivative of glycyrrhizic acid or of glycyrrhetinic acid.

  • Publication number: 20140088030
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of phenolics derivatives by enzymatic condensation of phenolics selected among pyrocatechol or its derivatives with the glucose moiety of sucrose. The production of said phenolics derivatives is achieved with a glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.5). These O-?-glucosides of selected phenolics are new, have a solubility in water higher than that of their parent polyphenol and have useful applications in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, such as antioxidative, antiviral, antibacterial, immune-stimulating, antiallergic, antihypertensive, antiischemic, antiarrythmic, antithrombotic, hypocholesterolemic, antilipoperoxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antineoplastic, anti-thrombotic and vasodilatory formulations, or in any other field of application.
