This formulation of propranolol is used for infants and children to treat a certain benign tumor (proliferating infantile hemangioma).

Composition and methods for treatment of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases

It has been discovered that the stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors, which activate cAMP formation, give rise to increased APP and GFAP synthesis in astrocytes. Hence, the in vitro or in vivo exposure of neuronal cells to certain compositions comprising beta-adrenergic receptor ligands or agonists, including, e.g., norepinephrine, isoproterenol and the like, increases APP mRNA transcription and consequent APP overproduction. These increases are blocked by beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, such as propranolol. The in vitro or in vivo treatment of these cells with 8Br-cAMP, prostaglandin E2 (PG E2), forskolin, and nicotine ditartrate also increased APP synthesis, including an increase in mRNA and holoprotein levels, as well as an increase in the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Compositions and methods are disclosed of regulating APP overexpression and mediating reactive astrogliosis through cAMP signaling or the activation of beta-adrenergic receptors. It has further been found that the increase in APP synthesis caused by 8Br-cAMP, PG E2, forskolin, or nicotine ditartrate is inhibited by immunosuppressants or anti-inflammatory agents, such as cyclosporin A, and FK-506 (tacrolimus), as well as ion-channel modulators, including ion chelating agents such as EGTA, or calcium / calmodulin kinase inhibitors, such as KN93. The present invention has broad implications in the alleviation, treatment, or prevention of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease.

Novel use of total flavone of effective component of Cotinus coggygria and preparation

One of the tasks of the invention is to define an effective part for using cotinus coggygria, and provide pharmacodynamics usages of the effective part and various preparations. The new usage of the effective part of the cotinus coggygria is that the leaves, stems, branches and roots of the cotinus coggygria are collected to extract general flavone as a drug which can improve animal organism hypoxia tolerance or thrombolysis, etc. The invention has the advantages that the effective part of the cotinus coggygria is defined, and the effective components are separated for medical use, thus obviously improving the therapeutic effect. Experiments prove that the preparation of the invention can obviously improve animal hypoxia tolerance and the effect thereof is equal to a western medicine antianginal drug Propranolol, thus avoiding the toxic side effect of the western medicine and having the actions of improving blood circulation and reducing whole blood viscosity. Therefore, the preparation can be applicable for preventing and curing coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, miocardial infarction, as well as obstruction of Qi in chest, dizziness, brachypnea, palpitation, chest distress or thoracodynia caused by internal resistance of congestion. Meanwhile, the preparation of the invention also has the actions of anticoagulation in vitro and thrombus dissolving.
