A process for producing an arginine-rich peptide mixture and the application thereof in cervical cancer therapy is provided. The process includes the following steps: A suspension of walnut meal and egg albumin is pretreated with ultrahigh pressure, and then digested by alkaline proteinase and papain in separated steps with the ultrasonic and microwave-assisted extraction. The peptides of interest are isolated from filtration supernatant obtained after the enzyme digestion by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography. By using the peptide mixture as a template, acrylic acid and methyl acrylic acid as functional monomers, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linking agent, and isopropylthioxanthone in acetone as a photoinitiator, polymerization is induced by ultraviolet light to form a surface imprinted membrane for isolating and enriching the peptides of interest from the supernatant. The arginine content in the peptide mixture is more than 18%. The arginine-rich peptide mixture is able to strongly suppress the proliferation of human cervical cancer Hela cells. The approach is applicable to reduce the cost of production and speed up the commercialization of large-scale production.

The solution provides a method for separating a Chinese traditional medicine composition. To explain a pharmacological effect mechanism of a medicine made of two or more components and scientific content in rules of compatibility among components of a compound medicine, systematic researches on the material basis is very necessary. Accordingly, deep researches are done on chemical components of the pharmaceutical composition in the solution, and eight compounds are separated, which are 10-O-(p-hydroxycinnamoyl)-adoxosidic acid, aloe-emodin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercitrin, matairesinol-4′-O-glucoside, liquiritin apioside, epi-vogeloside, vogeloside and ethyl caffeate, which provides a new quality control method for the composition in the solution.

A powdered, water-soluble Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is formed using organic materials and natural products to form a non-GMO, fast acting, whole plant hemp extract without harsh chemicals such as hexane. The Full Spectrum Hemp Oil may be extracted using CO2 concurrent gas extraction to avoid use of chemical additives.

The present invention provides an advanced absorption and delivery system to an ecdysterone-based nutritional supplement, specifically a turkesterone-based nutritional supplement, a turkesterone hydroxypropyl β-cyclic dextrin complex manufactured using a co-precipitation technique, the manufacturing process including a fluid bed drying system wherein the complex is dried using hot air blown into contact with a fluidized bed.

A fractionation method, pure active compounds and derivatives thereof, compositions including the same and methods of treating cancer including administering such compounds, derivatives, compositions or any combination thereof. A fractionation method of a Cyathus striatus CBS 126585 for obtaining at least one of the pure active ingredients Striatal C, Striatal C′ or Striatal D, wherein the fractionation method includes: providing an octadecyl silica gel column; and performing a series of RP-18 preparative chromatography steps using the acetadecyl silica gel column.

A steviol glycoside composition with reduced surface tension. The reduced surface tension steviol glycoside composition includes an aqueous solution of a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound in an amount effective to reduce surface tension. Method for reducing surface tension in a steviol glycoside solution includes contacting a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound.

Provided is a method for preventing and alleviating inflammatory bowel disease by administering a composition including puer tea extract as an active ingredient to a subject in need thereof. Puer tea extract of the present disclosure showed an effect of improving damaged colonic tissue in a mouse model of acute ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), and showed an inhibitory effect on clinical symptoms of the disease activity index (DAT) of weight loss, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. In addition, puer tea extract inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in the colonic tissue and inhibited the inflammatory response through inhibition of the activity of NF-κB, an anti-inflammatory mechanism. In addition, the DPPH free radical and ABTS free radical scavenging ability increased proportionally as the concentration of puer tea extract increased at the cellular level, and COX-2 expression was inhibited in LPS-activated macrophages.

Methods for the production of different cannabis product compositions. Method for the production of at least two different cannabis product compositions from a solid cannabis plant material are described including providing a solid cannabis plant material containing at least one cannabinoid and at least one terpene at cannabinoid to terpene weight/weight ratio R100; first extracting from said solid cannabis plant material a first composition comprising at least 10% but less than 90% of said cannabinoid and at least 1% of said terpene at cannabinoid to terpene weight/weight ratio R101, wherein R101 differs from R100 by at least 10%; second extracting from said solid cannabis plant material a second composition comprising at least 10% of said cannabinoid and at least 1% of said terpene at cannabinoid to terpene weight/weight ratio R102, wherein R102 differs from R101 by at least 10%; and optionally refining said first composition, said second composition, or both.
