Claims21
A composition consisting of an isolated fraction of mastic gum and an added pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the fraction is characterized in that it is soluble in at least one polar organic solvent and in at least one non-polar organic solvent, and wherein said fraction is substantially devoid of compounds which are soluble in said polar organic solvent but insoluble in said non-polar organic solvent, wherein the isolated fraction of mastic gum is obtained by a process comprising the steps of:
- (a) treating mastic gum with a polar organic solvent;
- (b) isolating a fraction soluble in said polar organic solvent;
- (c) treating the soluble fraction obtained in step (b) with a non-polar organic solvent;
- and
- (d) obtaining the isolated fraction of mastic gum by isolating a fraction soluble in said non-polar organic solvent.
A composition consisting of an isolated fraction of mastic gum and an added pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the fraction is characterized in that it is soluble in at least one polar organic solvent and in at least one non-polar organic solvent, and wherein said fraction is substantially devoid of compounds which are soluble in said polar organic solvent but insoluble in said non-polar organic solvent, wherein said polar organic solvent is an alcohol, wherein the carrier is an oil selected from the group consisting of cottonseed oil, almond oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, grape seed oil, olive oil peanut oil, saffron oil, sesame oil, soybean oil and combinations thereof.
