METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS FROM VEGETABLE EXTRACTS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: genetic engineering, molecular biology, pharmacy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of genome screening and can be used for identification of pharmacological agent in vegetable extract. Method is realized by treatment of cells with a vegetable extract, isolation of protein or RNA from these cells, identification of isolated protein or RNA wherein their concentration differs from that in untreated cells and detection of compound(s) in indicated vegetable extracts. Then cells are treated with the found compound(s), protein or RNA are isolated from cells treated with this compound(s) and compound(s) are identified that cause the stimulation or inhibition of expression of protein or RNA wherein their concentration differs from that in untreated cells. Invention provides carrying out the characterization of biological properties of vegetable extract and to detect the individual compound(s) that elicit unknown or disclosed biological property of this extract.

EFFECT: improved identifying method.
