The present invention relates to inventive novel industrialized method for preparing purified extract containing more abundant active ingredients such as catalpol derivatives from the extract of Pseudolysimachion rotundum var subintegrum than that prepared by the conventional preparation method disclosed in the prior art and the therapeutics or functional health food comprising the purified extract for treating and preventing inflammatory, allergic or asthmatic disease. The purified extract showed more potent anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy and anti-asthma activity than that prepared by the conventional preparation method disclosed in the prior art through various in vivo tests such as inhibition test on the reproduction of eosinophil, the release of immunoglobulin and inflammatory chemokines in plasma and bronchoalveolar fluid as well as the suppression of airway hyperresponsiveness and goblet cell hyperplasia in a OVA-sensitized/challenged mouse model.

Compositions are disclosed that include a plant extract standardized with an amount of benzoxazinoids, wherein the composition additionally comprises Chlorella. In contemplated embodiments, these compositions are provided in an effective amount to shorten sleep onset latency, improve sleep quality and efficiency, and prevent and treat sleep disorders.

The present disclosure provides use of an effective part extract of Monochasma savatieri in preparation of a drug for treating an inflammatory disease or a tumor. In the present disclosure, an effective part of Monochasma savatieri is separated and purified by various separation and purification methods (including solvent extraction, macroporous resin column chromatography, MCI column separation, and Sephadex LH-20 gel column separation) separately, to obtain the effective part extract of Monochasma savatieri. The effective part extract of Monochasma savatieri is capable of significantly inhibiting secretion of TNF-, and significantly inhibiting proliferation of breast cancer cells and lung cancer cells, thereby effectively treating the inflammatory disease or the tumor. The present disclosure provides a favorable theoretical basis for finding a drug that can effectively treat the inflammatory disease or the tumor from the Monochasma savatieri, which is of great significance to development of novel drugs.

The disclosure provides methods of preventing, treating, or ameliorating LV remodeling in a mammalian subject. The methods comprise administering to the subject a therapeutic amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide such as D-Arg-2,6-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2.
