245 results about "Ergosterol" patented technology

Ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) is a sterol found in cell membranes of fungi and protozoa, serving many of the same functions that cholesterol serves in animal cells. Because many fungi and protozoa cannot survive without ergosterol, the enzymes that synthesize it have become important targets for drug discovery. In human nutrition, ergosterol is a provitamin form of vitamin D₂; exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light causes a chemical reaction that produces vitamin D₂.

Method for propagating fungi using solid state fermentation

A solid state fermentation (SSF) method is provided which is effective for both small- and large-scale fungal cultivation. Also provided is SSF media for fungal cultivation. The media preferably contains a carbon source and nitrogen source to provide a carbon to nitrogen ratio of about 5:1 to about 25:1 by weight. The media may also contain a vitamin and an inorganic substance. A preferred SSF medium contains malt extract, yeast extract, peptone, glucose, water, solid base, and calcium carbonate or gypsum. Before propagating fungal mycelia in the SSF medium, the mycelia may be pre-cultivated in a solid culture medium and then in a liquid medium. Although the SSF method can be used in growing most fungi, preferred fungi include Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Antrodia camphorata, Trametes versicolor, and Agaricus blazei. The SSF method not only produces high yield of fungi, but also stimulates the production of fungal metabolites, particularly the kinds with pharmaceutical and medicinal activities. Cordyceps sinensis is preferably grown to produce the active compound H1A which is a derivative of ergosterol.

Compositions and methods for detecting and killing termites

Significant concentrations of naphthalene were detected in carton nests of Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, collected from Florida, Hawaii, and Louisiana. This is the first report of naphthalene being associated with termites or any other insects. Naphthalene and other compounds associated with termite carton nests may be used to increase termite bait acceptance. New attractant molecules include 2-phenoxyethanol. New feeding stimulants include ergosterol. A list of volatile compounds associated with termite nests is presented, compounds that may be used to detect termite nests.

Anticancer Composition for Oral Use Comprising Liposome Containing Phytosterols and Prevention or Treatment for Cancer Using the Liposome

InactiveUS20080102111A1Significantly inhibit cancer metastasisInhibiting cancer metastasisOrganic active ingredientsBiocideOral medicationCancer metastasis
A novel use is disclosed of liposomes that contain phytosterol (e.g., β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, ergosterol, and ergostadienol, and so forth). It has been newly discovered that liposomes that contain phytosterol have a cancer metastasis inhibiting activity. Cancer metastasis is inhibited by the oral administration of liposomes that contain phytosterol and these liposomes are therefore useful for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
