Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition useful as an immunomodulating agent and a process for the preparation thereof. In general it is directed toward use and applications of Chlorophytum (Safed Musli) as potential immunomodulatory, health promoting, nutraceutical herb.
- the invention particularly relates to a process for isolating immunomodulatory carbohydrate/polysaccharide including but not limited to Chlorophytum Musli Glucomannan (MGM).
- MGM Chlorophytum Musli Glucomannan
- the present invention further relates to purified compositions of the plant aqueous extracts.
- the current invention is directed toward a botanical substance from Safed Musli for immune-response enhancement and curing diseases and ailments related to immunity by prevention of suppression of immunity for any purpose or in any way through the use of the plant in any physical or chemical form.
- the plant genus Chlorophytum belongs to the family Liliaceae.
- the genus Chlorophytum is represented by about 175 valid taxa of rhizomatous herbs distributed predominantly in the tropical and parts of the world and some of them cultivated for ornamental flowers. Its probable centres of origin and diversification lie in tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia where where 85% of the species are found [PC Bordia, A. Joshi and M.M. Simlot 1995 Safed Musli In Advances in Horticulture volume 11 (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants) Editors: K.L. Chadha and Rajendra Gupta, pp.430- 450, Malhotra Publishing House, New Delhi, India].
- Genus-specific features of Chlorophytum are fleshy roots/root tubers (fasciculated roots) and attractive green leaves. Leaves are radical, spirally imbricate at the base with acute apex spreading horizontally. The flowers are usually white with ornamental attraction. The plants are monoecious or dioecious herbs, bushes or trees with varied growth habits exhibiting stalks or branches differentiated into two to three different types [PC Bordia, A. Joshi and M.M. Simlot 1995 Safed Musli In Advances in Horticulture volume 11 (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants) Editors: K.L. Chadha and Rajendra Gupta, pp.430-450, Malhotra Publishing House, New Delhi, India].
- Typical phytochemical representatives of Chlorophutum species believed to be active ingredients so far are the low molecular weight terpenoidal phytochemicals like glycosides/saponins of putatively steroidal/spirostanol skeletal molecules like hecogenin [PC Bordia, A. Joshi and M.M. Simlot 1995 Safed Musli In Advances in Horticulture volume 11 (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants) Editors: K.L. Chadha and Rajendra Gupta, pp.430-450, Malhotra Publishing House, New Delhi, India; S.Mimaki, T. Kanmoto, Y. Sashida, A. Nishino, Y. Satomi and H.
- Sapogenins like stigmasterol, sarsasapogenin, togogenin, neogitogenin and tokorogenin have been shown to be minor constituents (0.0012%, 0.0003%, 0.0003%, 0.0003%, 0.0005%, respectively on dry weight basis have been isolated from Chlorophytum arundinaceum ( M. Tandon and Y.N. Shukla, Sapogenins from Asparagus adscendens and Chlorophytum arundinaceum J. Indian Chemical
- KGM is beneficial to the health of human beings and its ability to cure some diseases is well documented (W. Fang and P. Wu Variation of Konjac glucomannan, KGM from Amorphophallus konjac and its refined powder in China, Food Hydrocolloids 18: 167-170, 2004).
- Polysaccharides are unique in plant specific manner as well as monomeric composition in proportion and sequence are important with respect to biological properties as well as other physical properties (like gelation, colloids) that comprehensively ascribe them wide and specific utilities as materials useful in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and related biomedical industries.
- the invention relates to the use of Chlorophytum (Safed Musli) or its one or more polyglyco-component(s) or substances or mixtures of substances obtained therefrom for the prevention or treatment of immunity related problems, risks, disorders, ailments and diseases and secondary consequences thereof.
- the main object of the present invention is thus to provide a process for the isolation of bioactive polysaccharides from Chlorophytum sp (Safed musli).
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition useful as an immunomodulating agent comprising of isolated polysaccharide fractions from the tubers/ fingers (fasciculated roots) of the plant Chlorophytum borivillianum.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide Chlorophytum sp. (Safed musli) as an immunomodulating agent comprising upto 45% (w/w) isolated polysaccharides, 7 to 10 % (w/w) proteins and 40 to 50% (w/w) of other constituents such as fiber, cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and free sugars.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition having humorral immunomodulatory activity greater than levamisole, a positive control employed in the test systems for immunomodulatory activity.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a herbal non-toxic pharmaceutical composition useful as an immunomodulator.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a simple and easy method for the extraction of water soluble and hydro-suspension polysaccharides from safed musli.
- the invention relates to the use of Chlorophytum or its aqueous component(s) ['water extractable easily water soluble polysaccharides', 'water extractable hydro-suspension polysaccharides' glucomannan polysaccharides' etc.], or substances or mixtures of substances obtained therefrom for the health benefits with respect to immune- enhancement and immunomodulatory properties associated with the polysaccharides/MGM amassed in the herb.
