Research and development drug of cotton petal extract against dementia has entered clinical trial

Cotton petals abandoned by farmers in the field will play a new role in the future Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Xinjiang Institute of physical and chemical technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences that researchers have successfully extracted effective substances from cotton petals to treat Alzheimer's disease Recently, the drug has entered the clinical trial stage In 2003, researchers of Xinjiang Institute of physics and chemistry of Chinese Academy of sciences began to study cotton petals In the experiment of Extracting Total Flavonoids from cotton petals, it was found that cotton petal needle had no obvious effect on antithrombotic effect, but effectively improved the learning ability of animals After repeated process optimization, animal experiments were carried out in several Alzheimer's model mice and rats to "confirm that its total flavonoids can effectively improve the memory impairment of mice" After 10 years of research, researchers identified 20 flavonoids in the total flavonoids of cotton petals, and established the fingerprint of total flavonoids in cotton petals Through modern technology, five new traditional Chinese medicine "total flavone tablet of cotton flower" with small dosage, obvious efficacy and independent intellectual property rights was made At present, Xinjiang Institute of physical and chemical technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Xinjiang Uygur Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd have signed the achievement transfer agreement of the first national five class new drugs "total flavonoid tablet of cotton flower", "total flavone of cotton flower" clinical trial approval document in our region It is understood that due to the success of new drug research and development of cotton petals and the preparation of chemical control substances, the market price of cotton petals, which were originally abandoned in the field, has reached about 15 yuan per kilogram, greatly increasing the income of cotton farmers.
