Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Function

1.Anti-cancer of rectum and colon, esophageal carcinoma,liver cancer,lung cancer,carcinoma of tongue and skin.

2.Restrain to human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) and many kinds of microbe and virus.

3.Anti-oxidant, coagulant, descenting blood pressure and sedation.

4.Resist to anti-oxidance, senescence inhibition and skin whitening

5.Treat kinds of symptoms caused by high blood sugar, hypertension.

6.Resist to atherosclerosis and tumour.

Application

Pomegranate P.E. can be made into capsules, troche and granule as healthy food. Besides, it has good solubility in water plus the solution transparence and brilliance color, has been widely added into the beverage as the functional content.

It’s such a delicious spread and a great substitution for guacamole; you won’t even think it’s healthy! All you need is a blender and a few simple ingredients. Follow @ALOHA on twitter for more delicious recipes!

Dissertation Title: The design of multivalent conjugates for anthrax toxin, influenza, and HIV inhibition

When proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, or polysaccharides are strategically arranged on biocompatible scaffolds, the activity of such molecules can be profoundly affected. Creating multivalent arrangements, which involve the simultaneous interaction of multiple binding elements with multiple target receptors, can be a powerful method for enhancing the efficacy of bioactive molecules. For example, one can synthesize multivalent ligands that enhance receptor binding affinities by several orders of magnitude over the corresponding monovalent receptor-ligand interaction. In this talk, I will describe my research on various structure-based designs of multivalent macromolecular conjugates for the effective inhibition of three different pathogens with broad public interest: anthrax, HIV, and influenza. Identifying conserved targets in the pathogenic progression of each of these is a key aspect of this research, and once appropriate targets have been identified, using strategically-designed scaffolds to control the multivalent arrangements of targeting ligands is crucial. Indeed, achieving precise control over the display of biologically relevant ligands may be the key to understanding mechanisms driving a diverse set of biological processes ranging from the inhibition of pathogenicity to effecting stem cell differentiation. Therefore, the study of multivalent complexes such as these has the potential to lead to very promising therapeutic applications.
