Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are methods of managing hypercholesterolemia using a composition of matter comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain 5% of total stilbenes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A method of treating hypercholesterolemia in humans, said method comprising step of administering to said humans orally twice a day, composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain 5% of total stilbenes to achieve the effects of (a) reduction in the systemic levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) and serum triglycerides and (b) enhancement in the systemic levels of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). 2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain 5% of total stilbenes consists essentially of piceatannol and dimers thereof. 3 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain 5% of total stilbenes, consists essentially of a combination of piceatannol, scirpusin B and scirpusin A. 4 . A method of treating hypercholesterolemia in humans, said method comprising step of administering to said humans orally twice a day, composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain greater than 3% of total stilbenes to achieve the effects of (a) reduction in the systemic levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) and serum triglycerides and (b) enhancement in the systemic levels of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). 5 . The method according to claim 4 wherein the composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain greater than 3% of total stilbenes consists essentially of piceatannol and dimers thereof. 6 . The methods according to claim 5 wherein the composition comprising the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes standardized to contain greater than 3% of total stilbenes, consists essentially of a combination of piceatannol, scirpusin B and scirpusin A.
