Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention is directed to novel compounds isolated or derived from Alpiniae oxyphyllae fructus, chemically synthesized novel compounds, methods of preparing the novel compounds and uses thereof as neuroprotectants or drugs for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating Parkinson's disease in a patient, the method comprising: administering a compound to the patient to treat the Parkinson's disease, wherein the compound is selected from a group consisting of ((R)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid), ((S)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid) and (4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid). 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound and chrysin are provided to the patient, and the compound and the chrysin exhibit a synergistic effect for treating the Parkinson's disease. 3. A method of protecting against neural damage in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering a compound to the subject to protect against the neural damage, wherein the compound is selected from a group consisting of ((R)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid), ((S)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid) and (4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid). 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound and chrysin are provided to the subject, and the compound and the chrysin exhibit a synergistic effect for protecting against the neural damage. 5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound protects against the neural damage in cerebellar granule neurons. 6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound protects against the neural damage in pheochromocytoma cells. 7. A method of protecting against neural cell loss in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering a compound to the subject to protect against the neural cell loss, wherein the compound is selected from a group consisting of ((R)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid), ((S)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid) and (4-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid). 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the compound and chrysin are provided to the subject, and the compound and the chrysin exhibit a synergistic effect for protecting against the neural cell loss. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the compound protects against the neural cell loss in dopaminergic neurons.
