Sunflower disc extract can fight gout
Xinhua News Agency, Changchun, July 4 (Reporters Meng Hanqi and Zou Shengwen) The reporter recently learned from Jilin University that the team of Professor Liu Xiaobo of the School of Life Sciences of Jilin University extracted the active ingredients against gout from the sunflower flower plate. This achievement has been published in domestic professional medical journals such as "Medicine and Health", and obtained two national invention patents.
Gout is caused by the disorder of purine metabolism in the human body, the increase of uric acid synthesis or the decrease of excretion, resulting in hyperuricemia. In severe cases, joint disability and renal insufficiency may occur. Some data show that the number of hyperuricemia patients in my country has reached 170 million, and the number of gout patients has exceeded 80 million, which is increasing rapidly with a growth rate of 9.7% every year.
There is currently no effective treatment method and method for gout. Most of the commonly used special drugs at home and abroad are to inhibit purine metabolism to lower uric acid, but this kind of treatment method is helpless to urate crystals (tophi), and the patient's urate crystals accumulate in the body. The more, causing joint swelling and pain, serious harm to human health. Moreover, most of the existing gout drugs cannot overcome the side effects of the drugs themselves on liver and kidney damage.
"To solve gout, we need to break through three problems: quickly and safely lowering uric acid, dissolving tophi, and not harming the liver or kidney." Professor Liu Xiaobo said.
After 5 years of research and development, Liu Xiaobo's team extracted active ingredients such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and small protein peptides from sunflower flower discs grown in saline-alkali land. Pharmacological and pharmacodynamic analysis showed that alkaloids have the effect of treating gout, and can specifically combine with uric acid to form a sunflower base-uric acid complex, which is metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidneys to rapidly reduce uric acid.
