The present invention provides a novel composition of matter comprised of a mixture of two specific classes of compounds --Free-B-ring flavonoids and flavans-- for use in the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by the COX-2 and 5-LO pathways. The present invention further provides a novel method for simultaneously inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzymes, and reducing cox-2 mRNA production. Finally, the present invention includes a method for weight loss and blood glucose control. The methods of this invention are comprised of administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of the composition of this invention together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.; This invention relates generally to the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathways, including but not limited to the relief joint discomfort and pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other injuries that result from overuse.
本发明提供了一种由两类特定化合物--自由-B-环黄酮和黄烷--的混合物组成的新型物质组合物,用于预防和治疗由COX-2和5-LO途径介导的疾病和病症。本发明进一步提供了一种同时抑制环氧化酶-2(COX-2)和5-脂氧合酶(5-LO)以及减少COX-2 mRNA产生的新方法。最后,本发明包括一种减肥和控制血糖的方法。本发明的方法包括向有需要的宿主施用有效量的本发明组合物和药学上可接受的载体。 本发明一般涉及预防和治疗由环氧化酶-2 (COX-2)和5-脂氧合酶(5-LO)途径介导的疾病和病症,包括但不限于缓解与骨关节炎、类风湿性关节炎等疾病相关的关节不适和疼痛,以及因过度使用而导致的其他损伤。
