 Compositions and methods for reducing inflammation

Patent number: 9370537

Abstract: Blue-green algae, such as Aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA) or Spirulina (Arthrospira) can be fractionated. Anti-inflammatory aqueous fractions of blue-green algae are described herein that include low molecular weight molecules. Methods for reducing inflammation in a subject are also described. These methods include administering to the subject compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the anti-inflammatory aqueous fraction blue-green algae, or dried form thereof, thereby reducing inflammation.

Type: Grant

Assignee: Cerule, LLC

Inventor: Gitte S. Jensen

 BLUE-GREEN ALGAE EXTRACT MIXTURES AND METHODS OF USE

Publication number: 20150359827

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions including a mixture of an aqueous extract of Aphanizomenon flos aquae and an aqueous extract of Arthrospira. The compositions are of use for inducing stem cell trafficking (such as stem cell mobilization and homing) in a subject. Thus, methods for increasing stem cell trafficking that include administering a effective amount of the mixture of the aqueous extract of Aphanizomenon fibs aquae and the aqueous extract of Arthrospira, are disclosed herein.

 Method for enhancing stem cell trafficking

Patent number: 8414881

Abstract: Consumption of blue-green algae, or extracts thereof, enhances trafficking or homing of stem cells in animals by inducing a transient increase in the population of stem cells present in the animal's circulatory system. The animal may be healthy or suffering some disease or physiological condition.

 Purified component of blue-green algae and method of use

Patent number: 7947284

Abstract: Disclosed herein are extracts of blue green algae, such as Aphanizomenon flos aquae, that are enriched for a selectin ligand, such as an L-selectin ligand. Selectin ligands isolated from blue-green algae cells are disclosed herein. Methods are described for isolating these selectin ligands. The purified selectin ligands are of use in inducing stem cell mobilization in a subject. Thus, methods for inducing stem cell isolation that include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the extract enriched form the selectin ligand, or an isolated selectin ligand, are disclosed herein.
