Disclosed is a composition for treating or preventing amyloid-related diseases including 4-O-methylhonokiol as an active ingredient. More specifically, a pharmaceutical composition including 4-O-methylhonokiol, which is effective for treating or preventing amyloid-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cognitive disorder, defective memory, amyloidosis, etc. is disclosed. The inventors of the present disclosure have found out for the first time that 4-O-methylhonokiol inhibits the production of &#x3b2;-amyloid. It has been confirmed to be useful in treating or preventing amyloid-related diseases. Through animal tests including water maze test and passive avoidance test on mice, 4-O-methylhonokiol has been confirmed to be effective for amyloid-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, defective memory, cognitive disorder, and the like. It was further confirmed through acetylcholinesterase activity inhibition test using mouse brain cortex and hippocampus tissue that they are particularly effective in treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease among the amyloid-related diseases.

Disclosed is an anti-aging composition for external use on skin, which includes low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of, as active ingredients. The composition including the low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of, in a predetermined ratio, shows significantly improved skin-moisturizing, skin elasticity-enhancing and inflammation-alleviating effects, as compared to a composition using one of the above ingredients alone. Therefore, the composition may be widely used as a pharmaceutical or cosmetic anti-aging composition.
