Deer antler extract for promoting angiogenesis

a technology of angiogenesis and antler, which is applied in the field of angiogenesis extracts, can solve the problems of increasing the number of micro vessels in the treated wound, slow healing process, and paper that did not contain data showing actual angiogenic or wound healing activity, and achieves the effect of promoting angiogenesis and proliferating endothelial cells

Benefits of technology

[0059] Thus, preferred embodiments of the present invention may have a number of advantages over the prior art which can include:

Problems solved by technology

Generally, most commonly used therapies for treating persistent wounds do not assist the wound to provide its own blood supply and therefore the healing process is slow.
This resulted in increased numbers of micro vessels in the treated wounds.
Importantly however, this paper did not contain any data showing actual angiogenic or wound healing activity.

[0080] Experimental

[0081] Methods

[0082] Collection of Tissue:

[0083] Deer velvet antlers were collected from 3-year-old red deer stags at 55-60 days of growth following casting of the previous antlers.

[0084] The velvet was removed according to the regulations laid down by Code of Recommendations and Minimum Standards for the Welfare of Deer during the Removal of Antlers, July 1992 (revised 1997), Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Wellington, New Zealand.

[0085] The velvet was commercially processed by hot dipping or freeze-drying. Hot dipping is based on the traditional Chinese method, where sticks of antler are suspended from the base (i.e. tips downwards) and repeatedly dipped into almost boiling water for brief periods of time. After being dipped, they are allowed to cool before being dipped again. Dipping continues until clear plasma bubbles from the cut bases of the antlers. Antlers are then placed in a low humidity drier at approximately 15° C. for several weeks until ...

Abstract

An isolated extract of deer velvet which contains components which have molecular weights that are substantially less than or equal to 10 kDa and which have a proliferative effect on endothelial cells and / or promote angiogenesis.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates to a deer antler extract In particular, the present invention relates to angiogenic extracts obtained from-deer antler velvet, and compositions containing said extracts for use in the treatment of wounds, injuries and diseases in human and animal medical practice. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Wounds, in particular persistent wounds, which are difficult to heal, require a blood supply that can nourish the wound and mediate the healing process and minimize scar formation. Generally, most commonly used therapies for treating persistent wounds do not assist the wound to provide its own blood supply and therefore the healing process is slow. [0003] Various therapies for the treatment of chronic wounds exist, however, the use of compression bandages still appears to be a common treatment (Marshall et al., 2001). Other therapies are available and some natural therapies have been proposed that work through mechanisms involving regulation of oxygen tens...
