  • The Effects of New Zealand Grown Ginseng Fractions on Cytokine Production from Human Monocytic THP-1 Cells
    molecules Article The Effects of New Zealand Grown Ginseng Fractions on Cytokine Production from Human Monocytic THP-1 Cells Wei Chen 1,2,3 , Prabhu Balan 2,3 and David G. Popovich 1,* 1 School of Food and Advanced Technology, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 Riddet Institute, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand; [email protected] 3 Alpha-Massey Natural Nutraceutical Research Centre, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +64-63569099 Abstract: Pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators that regulate the inflammatory response in inflammation-related diseases. The aim of this study is to eval- uate different New Zealand (NZ)-grown ginseng fractions on the productions of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in human monocytic THP-1 cells. Four NZ-grown ginseng fractions, including total ginseng extract (TGE), non-ginsenoside fraction extract (NGE), high-polar ginsenoside fraction extract (HPG), and less-polar ginsenoside fraction extract (LPG), were prepared and the gin- senoside compositions of extracts were analyzed by HPLC using 19 ginsenoside reference standards. The THP-1 cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of TGE, NGE, HPG, and LPG, and were then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Nutraceutical are a food or part of food that provides health benefits including the intervention and treatment of a disease. Nutraceuticals improve the health status of individuals by modulating the body functions. Different types of those nutraceuticals are available in general viz., proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other pure food compounds like., dietary supplement, herbals, nutrients, medical foods, functional foods. Nutraceuticals have attracted considerable interest due to their potential nutritional, safety and therapeutic effects. Key words: Nutraceutical, Health, Food, Disease, Nutrition.

  • Solid Evidence of Ginseng-Warfarin Interaction
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Global deregulation of ginseng products may be a safety hazard to warfarin takers: solid evidence of Received: 24 October 2016 Accepted: 5 June 2017 ginseng-warfarin interaction Published: xx xx xxxx Haiyan Dong1,2, Ji Ma1,2, Tao Li1,2, Yingying Xiao1,2, Ning Zheng1,2, Jian Liu1,2, Yu Gao1,2, Jingwei Shao1,2 & Lee Jia1,2 Recent global deregulation of ginseng as the table food raises our concern about the possible ginseng- warfarin interaction that could be life-threatening to patients who take warfarin for preventing fatal strokes and thromboembolism while using ginseng products for bioenergy recovery. Here we show that quality-control ginsenosides, extracted from ginseng and containing its major active ingredients, produce dose- and time-dependent antagonism in rats against warfarin’s anti-coagulation assessed by INR and rat thrombosis model. The interactions between ginsenosides and warfarin on thrombosis, pharmacokinetics, activities of coagulation factors and liver cytochrome P450 isomers are determined by using thrombosis analyzer, UPLC/MS/MS, ELISA and real-time PCR, respectively. The antagonism correlates well with the related pharmacokinetic interaction showing that the blood plateaus of warfarin reached by one-week warfarin administration are significantly reduced after three-week co-administration of warfarin with ginsenosides while 7-hydroxywarfarin is increased. The one-week warfarin and three-week warfarin-ginsenosides regimen result in restoring the suppressed levels by warfarin of the coagulating factors II, VII and protein Z, and significantly enhance activities of P450 3A4 and 2C9 that metabolize warfarin. The present study, for the first time, provides the solid evidence to demonstrate the warfarin-ginsenoside interaction, and warns the warfarin users and regulation authorities of the dangerous interaction.

  • Panax Ginseng
    Cognitive Vitality Reports® are reports written by neuroscientists at the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF). These scientific reports include analysis of drugs, drugs-in- development, drug targets, supplements, nutraceuticals, food/drink, non-pharmacologic interventions, and risk factors. Neuroscientists evaluate the potential benefit (or harm) for brain health, as well as for age-related health concerns that can affect brain health (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes/metabolic syndrome). In addition, these reports include evaluation of safety data, from clinical trials if available, and from preclinical models. Panax ginseng Evidence Summary Some studies have shown that ginseng improves cognitive functions and decreases mortality and cancer risk in humans; safe when taken alone, but some drug interactions are known. Neuroprotective Benefit: Numerous studies have reported cognitive benefit with ginseng in healthy people as well as in dementia patients, but the evidence remains inconclusive due to the lack of large, long-term well-designed trials. Aging and related health concerns: Ginseng intake is associated with lower risks for mortality and cancers; also, some benefits seen in Asian people with ischemic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesteremia, and fatigue. Safety: Numerous meta-analyses have reported that ginseng is generally safe when taken alone; however, ginseng interacts with several medications. 1 Availability: OTC. No Dose: 200-400 mg/day Chemical formula: e.g., C42H72O14 pharmaceutical

Product cycles are much impact can be lessened by making healthier choices longer in nutraceuticals than in food, and this should play to earlier in life. This leads to a sharper focus on measures, the strengths of pharma which is accustomed to long lead such as a health-promoting diet, to prevent people from times. The potential gains, though, will be considerable: ever getting ill. Healthcare research, both publicly and Future ‘superfoods’ could tackle the underlying causes of privately funded, will need to consider the implications: conditions such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular not just new ‘superfoods’, to take one example, but also disease, by linking diet to health.

  • The Potential of Phytomelatonin As a Nutraceutical
    molecules Review The Potential of Phytomelatonin as a Nutraceutical Marino B. Arnao * ID and Josefa Hernández-Ruiz Department of Plant Biology (Plant Physiology), Faculty of Biology, University of Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 January 2018; Accepted: 18 January 2018; Published: 22 January 2018 Abstract: Phytomelatonin (plant melatonin) is chemically related to the amino acid tryptophan and has many diverse properties. Phytomelatonin is an interesting compound due to its outstanding actions at the cellular and physiological level, especially its protective effect in plants exposed to diverse stress situations, while its vegetable origin offers many opportunities because it is a natural compound. We present an overview of its origin, its action in plants in general (particularly in plant species with high levels of phytomelatonin), and its possibilities for use as a nutraceutical with particular attention paid to the beneficial effects that it may have in human health. The differences between synthetic melatonin and phytomelatonin, according to its origin and purity, are presented. Finally, the current market for phytomelatonin and its limits and potentials are discussed.

Introduction Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a ubiquitous molecule in nature, with biological activities in unicellular organisms, fungi, plants, and animals. Melatonin is broadly known as a biological modulator of circadian rhythms, mood, sleep, body temperature, locomotor activity, food intake, retinal physiology, sexual behavior, and the immune system [1–7]. Moreover, melatonin is an excellent antioxidant at physiological concentrations [8–10].

ARTICLE Address for correspondence: Manisha Pandey, Department of Pharmaceutics, Babu Banarasi Das National Institute of Technology and Management, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – 227105, India. E-mail: [email protected] The concept of nutraceutical was stared from the survey in U.K., Germany and France which concluded that diet is rated more highly by consumers than exercise or hereditary factors for achieving good health. Nutraceutical is a term VIEW coined to describe substances which are not traditionally recognized nutrients but which have positive physiological effects on the human body. They do not easily fall into the legal category of food and drug and often inhabit a grey area RE between the two. Risk of toxicity or adverse effect of drugs led us to consider safer nutraceutical and functional food based approaches for the health management. This resulted in a world wide nutraceutical revolution. The nutraceutical RESEARCH ARTICLE RESEARCH revolution will lead us into a new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry will become a research- oriented one similar to the pharmaceutical industry. Keywords: Nutraceuticals, Medicine, Functional foods. INTRODUCTION was commonly used, but no regulatory The quality of life in terms of income, spending definition existed. Its meaning was modified by and lifestyle has improved with economic health ministry of Canada which defines development.
