Anti-inflammatory compositions for treating multiple sclerosis
View Patent ↗Compositions with synergistic anti-inflammatory effects in inflammatory diseases resulting from activation and consequent degranulation of mast cells and followed by secretion of inflammatory biochemicals from the activated mast cells, the compositions containing one or more of a flavone or flavonoid glycoside a heavily sulfated, non-bovine proteoglycan, an unrefined olive kernel extract that increases absorption of these compositions in various routes of administration, a hexosamine sulfate such as D-glucosamine sulfate, S-adenosylmethionine, a histamine-1 receptor antagonist, a histamine-3 receptor agonist, an antagonist of the actions of CRH, a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid, a phospholipid, Krill oil, a polyamine, glutiramer acetate and interferon. Certain of the present compositions are useful in protecting against the neuropathological components of multiple sclerosis and similar inflammatory neurological diseases.
1. A method of treating multiple sclerosis in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising a flavonoid or a flavonoid glycoside, olive kernel oil, chondroitin sulfate and one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of a polyunsaturated fatty acid and a phospholipid.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises administering to said subject in need thereof, an interferon.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises administering to said subject in need thereof, glutiramer acetate.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a histamine-1 receptor antagonist.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flavonoid is selected from the group consisting of quercetin, myricetin, genistein, kaempferol, (−)epigallocatechin-3-gallate, lutolein, epigenin, rutin, hesperitin, and hesperidin.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and wherein the polyunsaturated fatty acid is selected from the group consisting of alphalinoleic acid, eicosapentenoic acid, and docosahexenoic acid.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a phospholipid, and wherein the phospholipid is selected from the group consisting of fish oil, Krill oil, and sphingomyelin.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises chondroitin sulfate, a flavonoid, docosahexenoic acid, Krill oil, and olive kernel oil.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein each ingredient is in the amount of 10-1,000 mg.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition further comprises hydroxyzine.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the administration is oral.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises non-bovine chondroitin sulfate, quercetin, rutin, (−)epigallocatechin-3-gallate, docosahexenoic acid, and olive kernel extract.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition comprises 150 mg of quercetin, 150 mg of rutin, 150 mg of (−)epigallocatechin-3-gallate, 250 mg of docosahexenoic acid, 300 mg of olive kernel oil and chondroitin sulfate.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition further comprises hydroxyzine.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the administration is oral.
