Docket Number: 9300
Serial Number: 9528488
Agricultural Research Service
Date Filed:
March 17, 2000
Abstract:
The invention is for a method of using citrus-derived flavonoids called polymethoxylatedflavones for treating
and/or reducing cardiovascular diseases and disorders. The invention can also be used for inhibiting cytokine
production, particularly those associated with the production of certain kinds of tumors in mammals, including humans. Cytokines are proteins that play a role in immune function. A few diseases caused by cytokines include septic shock, cancer, cachexia, chronic rheumatism, ulcerative colitis, and Chrohn's disease. These compounds could have nutraceutical properties.
