1 results about "Curculigo" patented technology

Curculigo is a flowering plant genus in the family Hypoxidaceae, first described in 1788. It is widespread across tropical regions of Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Curculin is a sweet protein that was discovered and isolated in 1990 from the fruit of Curculigo latifolia, a plant from Malaysia. Like miraculin, curculin exhibits taste-modifying activity; however, unlike miraculin, it also exhibits a sweet taste by itself. After consumption of curculin, water and sour solutions taste sweet. The plant is referred to locally as 'Lembah' or 'Lumbah'; English: 'Weevil-wort'.

A traditional Chinese medicine composition for improving wind-cold fever and application thereof

PendingCN122251530AAntipyreticAnalgesicsOrgan damageBiology
This invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for improving fever due to wind-cold and its application, belonging to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology. Targeting the core pathogenesis of fever due to exogenous wind-cold, this invention combines modern thermoregulation and microcirculation pathological mechanisms, based on the principle of hypothalamic preoptic thermoregulatory center regulation. It abandons the drawbacks of Western medicine ibuprofen, which forcibly intervenes in the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center, constricts visceral blood vessels, and aggravates organ damage. It overcomes the technical defects of traditional Chinese medicine, which simply induces sweating to relieve exterior symptoms, depletes qi and damages yang, and easily leads to recurrence. The formula uses ephedra, curculigo, angelica pubescens, and galangal in combination. Through the synergistic effects of dispersing cold and clearing the lungs, warming yang and consolidating the collaterals, warming the middle jiao and dispelling pathogens, and unblocking the meridians, it gently regulates the homeostasis of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center, expands spasmodic capillaries on the body surface and in the internal organs, improves the body's microcirculation, dispels cold pathogens from the skin surface, warms and unblocks the blood vessels of the internal organs, and also protects the heart, liver, and kidneys, strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy. This achieves a comprehensive improvement of fever due to wind-cold, with mild medicinal properties, stable efficacy, and no risk of organ damage.
