Abstract
The invention relates to a soybean seed extract, method for producing the same and uses of the extract of soybean seeds in promoting wound healing, promoting neuron cell proliferation and/or treating brain diseases and/or neurodegenerative diseases, treating breast cancer, reducing side effects of interfering with DNA and/or RNA replication drugs and/or enhancing pharmaceutical effects of interfering with DNA and/or RNA replication drugs.
Claims9
A method for treating a wound and/or promoting wound healing in a subject in need of such promotion and/or treatment comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of an extract composition comprising a soybean seed extract, which soybean seed extract is prepared by a process consisting of the following steps:
- (a) providing soybean seeds and an extracting solution, which extracting solution is an alcohol solution containing alcohol at a concentration from 30 wt % to 90 wt %;
- (b) extracting the soybean seeds with the extracting solution at a barometric pressure lower than about 1 atm and at a temperature lower than about 60° C. to obtain a crude extract;
- (c) removing solids from the crude extract to obtain a liquid portion;
- and
- (d) concentrating the liquid portion obtained in step (c) to obtain a concentrated solid portion.
A method for treating a wound and/or promoting wound healing in a subject in need of such promotion and/or treatment comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of an extract composition comprising a soybean seed extract and a soybean seed vapor fraction,
- wherein the soybean seed extract is prepared by a process consisting of the following steps:
- (a) providing soybean seeds and an extracting solution, which extracting solution is an alcohol solution containing alcohol at a concentration from 30 wt % to 90 wt %;
- (b) extracting the soybean seeds with the extracting solution at a barometric pressure lower than about 1 atm and at a temperature lower than about 60° C. to obtain a crude extract;
- (c) removing solids from the crude extract to obtain a liquid portion;
- (d) concentrating the liquid portion obtained in step (c) to obtain a concentrated solid portion;
- and
- wherein the soybean seed vapor fraction is prepared by a process comprising steps of:
- (i) providing soybean seeds in a second extracting solution, which second extracting solution is water or an alcohol solution containing alcohol at the concentration lower than about 15 wt %;
- and
- (ii) extracting the soybean seeds with the second extracting solution at a barometric pressure lower than about 1 atm and at a temperature lower than about 110° C. and collecting the vapor fraction.
