Statement of successful isolation of Momilactone A and Momilactone B from rice husk

BiochemLeave a comment

On December 23, Xuan lab was happy to welcome Vietnamese television to make interview and report about the successful A, B momilactone extract isolation. In the meeting, there were the presence of a Japanese fertilizer manufacturing company and a Hiroshima university professor, Prof. YOSHIDA YUICHIRO. Two chemical compounds of momilactone A, B are highly effective in anti diabetes, anti cancer and anti gout. In the world, the quantity of these compounds is not much, because the extraction is extremely difficult. Therefore, our laboratory’ success of momilactone A, B isolation from rice husk will be a big step for further research in modulating drugs task against century diseases.
