74 results about "Aldose reductase" patented technology

In enzymology, aldose reductase (or aldehyde reductase) (EC 1.1.1.21) is a cytosolic NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reduction of a variety of aldehydes and carbonyls, including monosaccharides. It is primarily known for catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol, the first step in polyol pathway of glucose metabolism.

The invention provides a recombined saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing ethyl alcohol, a construction method of the recombined saccharomyces cerevisiae strain and a method for producing ethyl alcohol through the recombined saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. According to the recombined saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing ethyl alcohol, a wild type saccharomyces cerevisiae strain is used as an original strain, an XI xylose metabolism pathway is introduced into the original strain, the expression of four key genes in a PPP pathway is enhanced, meanwhile, the aldose reductase gene GRE3 is knocked out, the nitrobenzene phosphatase gene PHO13 is optionally knocked out, and XI protein and XK protein introduced exogenously are positioned to a yeast cell membrane through the membrane positioning effect of a membrane positioning group. The recombined saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing ethyl alcohol can efficiently carry out xylose metabolism, so that co-fermentation of C5 sugar and C6 sugar is achieved, and therefore the higher ethyl alcohol conversion rate is achieved.

Extracts of aster koraiensis, and pharmaceutical composition and functional food comprising the same

Disclosed herein are a leaf and stem extract of Aster koraiensis, a root extract of Aster koraiensis, a flower extract of Aster koraiensis, a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications, a health functional food for the improvement of diabetic complications, and a pharmaceutical composition and health functional food for the prevention or delay of aging, in which each of the compositions and the foods contain, as an active ingredient, at least one of the Aster koraiensis extracts. Each of the extracts is obtained by drying and finely cutting each of the leaf and stem part, root and flower of Aster koraiensis, extracting the cut plant with alcohol or aqueous alcohol solution, filtering the extracted solution and concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. Also disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications, a health functional food for the improvement of diabetic complications, and a pharmaceutical composition and health functional food for the prevention or delay of aging, which contain, as an active ingredient, at least one of fractions obtained by fractionating each of the Aster koraiensis extracts in the order of hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fractions. The leaf and stem extract of Aster koraiensis, the root extract of Aster koraiensis and the flower extract of Aster koraiensis have the effect of inhibiting the production of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), the causes of diabetic complications, and effectively inhibit aldose reductase (AR) activity. Thus, the disclosed extracts will be highly useful for the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications and the prevention of aging.

Beta-sitosterol and epalrestat conjugate, preparation method and application of conjugate

The invention belongs to the field of natural medicines and discloses a beta-sitosterol and epalrestat conjugate, a preparation method and application of the conjugate. The conjugate is formed by coupling beta-sitosterol with epalrestat. The structure is shown as formula (I) described in the specification. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving beta-sitosterol and epalrestat in anhydrous dichloromethane, reacting under room temperature overnight under the catalytic effect of pyridine and 4-dimethylamino pyridine, filtering, pouring onto a silica gel chromatographic column, performing rotary steaming and drying, thereby acquiring a target compound. An in vitro MTT detection experiment proves that the beta-sitosterol and epalrestat conjugate has an excellent restraining effect on tumor cell lines, has an IC50 value being 3-6 times that of beta-sitosterol but has low toxicity to normal liver cells L-O2. The compound is used for treating tumor in the manner of conjugating two drug molecules into prodrug, the problems of insufficient antitumor capacity of beta-sitosterol and synergic targeted inhibition for cancer cell aldose reductase target are solved and the effect of clearing away tumor cells in the manner of enhancing cell apoptosis can be achieved.

Method for extracting naringenin from Chinese medicament chinaroot greenbrier and application thereof

The invention relates to a method and application of extracting naringenin from the Chinese traditional medicine, bamboo brier. The method includes pulverizing the Chinese traditional medicine bamboo brier, cold soaking in 70% ethanol to obtain the leach solution, concentrating to obtain the extract, suspending in distilled water, extracting and defatting with the petroleum ether, and extracting the defatted water phase with ethyl acetate; performing chromatography on the ethyl acetate phase in a silica gel column, eluting with ethyl acetate-methanol system (9:1), collecting the eluent part by part, combining and concentrating the frontmost segment, gradient eluting with chloroform: methanol with the silica gel column, collecting in a sectional manner, and concentrating to separate the precipitate; and repeatedly purifying with column, and re-crystallizing with methanol to obtain white needle crystal. In the method, pure 3(S)-5,7, 4'-trihydroxy flavanone, i.e., naringenin, extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine bamboo brier, has aldose reductase and Alpha-glucosidase inhibiting activity and is effective in adjusting and controlling glucose absorption of small intestine and preventing and treating diabetic complication. The purified monomer has clear structure and remarkable effect, which facilitates the quality control and the Chinese traditional medicine modernization process; and the naringenin can be further chemically modified to deeply study occurrence and development mechanism of diabetes and complication thereof so as to develop the new drug for treating diabetes and complication thereof.

Determination of risk factors for cataract by aldose reductase genotype

This invention relates to methods for determining the risk of developing cataract in mammals, and, more specifically, in mammals, including humans, with non-insulin dependent diabetes. The methods are performed by determining the presence or absence of genetic markers in genomic DNA. The presence of a Z-2 allele, a microsatellite marker of the aldose reductase, is indicative of an increased risk for developing cataract. The presence of Z-4, a microsatellite allele of the aldose reductase gene, indicates a decreased risk for developing cataract. The methods comprise nucleic acid probes that hybridize to a nucleic acid encoding the microsatellite region of the mammalian aldose reductase gene. The probes may also be immobilized on a solid support to form a microarray. In addition, this invention is directed to methods for treating a mammal with a genetic predisposition for developing cataract; following a screening method that detects a Z-2 microsatellite marker of an aldose reductase gene the mammal is treated with an inhibitor of aldose reductase.
