The carotenoid analog, derivative, or intermediate may be administered to a subject for the inhibition and/or amelioration of any disease that involves production of reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals. In some embodiments, the invention may include methods for synthesizing chemical compounds including an analog or derivative of a carotenoid. Carotenoid analogs or derivatives may include acyclic end groups. In some embodiments, a carotenoid analog or derivative may include at least one substituent. The substituent may enhance the solubility of the carotenoid analog or derivative such that the carotenoid analog or derivative at least partially dissolves in water.

专利号:US-2009099061-A1 优先权日:2006-01-27 标 题:Synthesis of carotenoid analogs or derivatives with improved antioxidant characteristics 发明人:FOSS BENTE J; NADOLSKI GEOFFRY T; LOCKWOOD SAMUEL F 权利人:FOSS BENTE J; NADOLSKI GEOFFRY T; LOCKWOOD SAMUEL F 摘要:A method is described for synthesizing and administering carotenoid compounds with improved antioxidant characteristics. In some embodiments, extension or improvement of conjugation may be employed in structural modification of carotenoids. In other embodiments, reduction of ring/chain steric hindrance may improve the lambda max, and hence, the overall antioxidant capability, of particular compounds. In other embodiments, introduction and/or increase in synthetic handles for conjugation may improve the stoichiometric ratios of conjugating moieties to the polyene backbone. The methods may be used to improve natural and/or synthetic compounds for medicinal application in the treatment of disease.
专利号:US-2007036742-A1 优先权日:2005-08-09 标题 :Methods and compositions for modulating hair growth or regrowth 发明人:ROUFS JAMES B; DUVEL LANE A; FAST DAVID J; GLYNN KELLY M 权利人:ACCESS BUSINESS GROUP INT LLC 摘要:The present invention relates to compositions and methods for modulating hair growth or regrowth. The compositions of the present invention comprise extracts of one or more of the following: Boswellia serrata, Undaria pinnatifida, green tea (e.g., Camellia sinensis ), shiso, Pureraria mirifica, luteolin (e.g. Perilla ocymoides leaf extract), astilbin, vitamin E, amentoflavone, tetrahydropiperine, licochalcone, astaxanthin, red clover, Brassica juncea, unfermented green rooibos, enzyme CoQ10, salvia, ximenynic acid, hops oleoresin, apple, soy, saw palmetto, or ellagic extract, or any derivative thereof. In particular, the compositions and methods of the present invention can be used to stimulate or increase hair growth and/or prevent or slow the loss of hair by having one or more of the following functions: (a) inhibiting synthesis of DHT; (b) inhibiting proteasomal activity; (c) inhibiting IL-1 activity; (d) increasing vascularization; (e) increasing expression of vascular endothelial growth factor; (f) increasing expression of keratinocyte growth factor; (g) inhibiting inflammation; or (h) acting as an antibacterial.

The analog, derivative, or intermediate may be administered such that a subject's risk of experiencing diseases associated with reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals may be thereby reduced. The analog or analog combination may be administered to a subject for the inhibition and/or amelioration of any disease that involves production of reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals. In some embodiments, the invention may include methods for synthesizing chemical compounds including an analog or derivative of a carotenoid. The carotenoid analog or derivative may be synthetic. In some embodiments, a carotenoid analog or derivative may include at least one substituent. The substituent may enhance the solubility of the carotenoid analog or derivative such that the carotenoid analog or derivative at least partially dissolves in water.
