Dietary and pharmaceutical compositions containing tricyclic diterpenes and their derivates and their uses

The present invention relates to the use of a compound as effective agent for the prevention or treatment of diabetes mellitus in a mammal. Said compounds being selected from the group of phthalide derivatives and exhibit excellent blood glucose lowering effects and thus are effective agents in the prevention or treatment of diabetes mellitus in mammals.

Use of phthalide derivatives for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

The present invention refers to carnosol and rosmanol for use (as medicament) in the treatment of a disorder connected to reduced neurotransmission, cognitive dysfunction and/or symptoms caused by headache and/or migraine, as well as to dietary and pharmaceutical compositions and their uses.

Dietary and pharmaceutical compositions containing carnosol and/or rosmanol and their uses

The present invention refers to coumarin ethers of the formula (I), wherein Ris H, OH or (E)-3-methyl-but-2-enyl, Ris selected from the group consisting of methyl, 3-(4,5-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-4-furanon-2-yl)-2-(E/Z)-butenyl, (E/Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyl, 7-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-6-on-yl and (E/Z,E/Z)-11-acetyl-oxy-3,7,11,11-tetramethyl-undeca-2,7-dien-10-on-yl, Ris H, Rand RO together for the group &#x2014;O&#x2014;C(C(&#x2550;CH)CH)H&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014; or the group &#x2014;C(H)&#x2550;C(H)&#x2014;C(CH)&#x2014;O&#x2014; or RO and Rtogether form the group &#x2014;O&#x2014;C(H)(C(CH)(H)&#x2014;O&#x2014;C(O)CH)&#x2014;CH&#x2014;, preferably to obliquin, for use as medicaments, especially for the treatment and/or prevention of disorders connected to impaired neurotransmission, as well as to dietary and pharmaceutical compositions and plant extracts containing such coumarin ethers and their uses.
