Abstract
The present invention is to methods of obtaining plant-derived compositions that inhibit apoptosis, the compositions obtained thereby, compositions comprising the composition, and methods of use thereof.
Claims8
A method of treatment of apoptosis, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising the composition comprising a factor with anti-apoptotic activity wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- a) delipidating a plant powder with a delipidating agent;
- b) separating the powder from the delipidating agent;
- c) extracting the delipidated powder with an aqueous solution;
- d) separating the aqueous solution from the delipidated powder to obtain an aqueous retentate;
- and
- e) isolating a lipid/glycolipid/phospholipid fraction containing the factor wherein the composition is administered to a patient in need of such treatment.
