Provided is a plant ferment, prepared by: mixing a mulberry (Morus alba), a pomegranate (Punica granatum), a purslane (Portulaca oleracea), a wild bitter melon (Momordica charantia var. abbreviata), and a fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) in a ratio of (0.5-4):(4-8):(0.5-4):(0.1-2):(0.5-4) to form a mixture; extracting the mixture with a solvent to obtain a plant extract; and fermenting the plant extract to obtain the plant ferment.

The present invention provides novel compositions for suppressing or improving hair loss, and compositions for suppressing or improving graying. More specifically, it provides agents that stabilize type XVII collagen expression, preferably agents that suppress the degradation of type XVII collagen by ELANE inhibitors and such, and compositions comprising a DNA repair-promoting agent or a DNA damage-suppressing agent as an active ingredient. Advantageous suppressive effects of hair loss and graying can be obtained when a composition comprising as an active ingredient a suppressive agent of type XVII collagen degradation such as an ELANE inhibitor is administered to a mammal. For the ELANE inhibitors, suppressive agents of type XVII collagen degradation and DNA repair-promoting agents, low-molecular compounds, polypeptides, proteins, antibodies, or nucleic acid medicine such as antisense oligos or siRNAs may be used. A method of screening for effective substances for suppression of hair loss and graying is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing and treating a muscular disease, or improving muscular function, which contains Cudrania tricuspidata such as a pulverization product or an extract of Cudrania tricuspidata as an active ingredient. The Cudrania tricuspidata according to the present disclosure such as the pulverization product or extract of Cudrania tricuspidata has an effect of increasing the activity of mTOR, which is involved in muscle protein synthesis, and reducing the mRNA expression of MuRF-1 and atrogin-1, which are involved in muscle protein degradation, increases muscle mass and improves muscular function. Therefore, it may be usefully utilized in the prevention, alleviation or treatment of various muscular diseases such as atony, muscular atrophy, muscular dystrophy, muscle degeneration, muscle weakness, cachexia, sarcopenia, etc.

The present invention explored PLGA NPs synthesis using plant extracts as surfactants by nanoprecipitation process. PLGA NPs synthesized using Camellia sinensis, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Ficus palmata and Rubus ellipticus leaf extracts were further explored for encapsulation, controlled and sustained release of well-known antioxidant molecule, curcumin. This plant extract based nanoprecipitation process for the synthesis of PLGA NPs can be further explored for encapsulation of many other antioxidant molecules of therapeutic importance.
