Ingredients
1. Chinensisol [1]
2. Aesculin and
3. Aesculotin
4. Etc.

Health Benefits
1. Hyperuricemia and renal dysfunction in mice
In the study to investigate the effects of cortex fraxini coumarines esculetin, esculin, fraxetin and fraxin on renal dysfunction and expression abnormality of renal organic ion transporters in hyperuricemic animals, showed that Esculetin and esculin up-regulated expressions of renal organic anion transporter 1 (mOAT1), organic cation and carnitine transporters (mOCT1-2 and mOCTN1-2), but failed to affect renal glucose transporter 9 (mGLUT9) and urate transporter 1 (mURAT1) in this model. Fraxetin specifically inhibited renal mURAT1, while fraxin extensively interacted with renal mGLUT9, mURAT1, mOAT1 and mOCT1 in hyperuricemic mice. Furthermore, esculetin, fraxetin and fraxin increased mABCG2 mRNA expression and decreased its protein levels in renal apical membrane in hyperuricemic mice. These results indicate that esculetin and esculin have beneficial effects on hyperuricemia and renal dysfunction, resulting in restoration of mOAT1, mOCT1-2 and mOCTN1-2, and fraxetin and fraxin enhance urate excretion partly by inhibiting mURAT1 or mGLUT9 in kidney of hyperuricemic mice(1).

2. Pharmacological effect
Cortex Fraxini is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It has been indicated that Cortex Fraxini possess various pharmacological effects, including anti-pathogenic microorganism, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-cancer, anti-oxidative stress, neuroprotective and vascular protect effects.

                          Inherited cobalamin malabsorption and Gene involved

Inherited malabsorption of cobalamin (Cbl) causes hematological and neurological abnormalities that can be fatal. According to the study by the Ohio State University, in the revealed population-specific mutations, mutational hotspots, and functionally distinct regions in the three causal genes. We identified mutations in 126/154 unrelated cases (82%). Fifty-three of 126 cases (42%) were mutated in CUBN, 45/126 (36%) were mutated in AMN, and 28/126 (22%) had mutations in GIF. We found 26 undescribed mutations in CUBN, 19 in AMN, and 7 in GIF for a total of 52 novel defects described herein. We excluded six other candidate genes as culprits and concluded that additional genes might be involved(4).
