The present invention relates to the synergic combination of mesalamine with phenylpropanoids (verbascoside or teupolioside), obtained from plant cell cultures, and the pharmacological and nutritional use thereof for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disorders of the digestive apparatus.
In particular, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing mesalamine and one or more phenylpropanoids, together with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
The present invention provides a topical formulation and method of use where the formulation comprises macqui berry or a macqui berry extract containing anthocyanins having a very high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). The formulation provides the macqui berry in a stabilized form which includes a glucuronide or glycuronide, a photostabilizing agent, encapsulation, or light—and/or air-blocking packaging.
A topical composition comprising a lipoic acid, a carnitine, and a carnosine in a suitable vehicle for topical application and a method for treating skin is provided. The present compositions are useful in improving the appearance of aged skin characterized by wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Preferred components include R-lipoic acid or R-dihydrolipoic acid, acetyl-1-carnitine, and 1-carnosine.
There are about 200 holoparasitic broomrapes (Orobanchaceae) known worldwide, however, only several species have been so far investigated phytochemically. Among Orobanche s.l. are both rare and endangered species, as well as onerous crop pests. This study aims to give a phytochemical description, both qualitative and quantitative, of six broomrape species (Orobanche and Phelipanche taxa) growing in Poland, including species that have not been tested in detail (O. caryophyllacea, O. linen, O. picridis, and P. arenaria). Sixteen metabolites, including 14 phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs) and 2 iridoid glycosides (IrGs), were isolated and identified using NMR spectroscopy and hydrolysis, revealing the presence of two previously undescribed PhGs in P. ramosa, named ramoside A and 2'-acetylramoside A. In addition, in the example of O. caryophyllacea, we have reported as the first occurrence of IrGs in broomrapes. Concentrations of phenylethanoids, the main constituents of broomrapes, in the studied plant material (flowering shoots with haustoria) were determined using the UHPLC-PDA method. It was found that P. ramosa has been the richest source of PhGs. In addition, the differences between broomrapes have been visualized using principal component and cluster analysis. The results of the antiradical DPPH test of 13 PhGs confirmed previous findings on the relation of the antioxidant potential with the structure of phenolic moieties - phenolic acid and phenylethanoid unit.

The present invention provides a composition comprising an effective amount of benfotiamine and an effective amount of pyridoxamine in a suitable vehicle for topical application. The present compositions are useful in improving the appearance of aged skin characterized by wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation caused by chronoaging and/or photoaging of skin, by inhibiting particularly skin damage resulting from reactive carbonyl species (RCS), glycation of skin proteins, formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and formation of advanced lipoxidation endproducts (ALEs).
