›DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is explained precisely hereafter.

Iron salt(s) of the present invention is(are) ferric-ferrous iron salt and/or ferrous iron salt and/or ferric iron salt.

[Ferrous Iron Salt, Ferric Iron Salt]

Ferrous iron salt and/or ferric iron salt, used as bioactivator in this invention, include inorganic acid salts such as hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate and the like, organic acid salts such as acetate, formate, oxalate, citrate, lactate, butyrate, succinate, propionate and the like, mixtures thereof. Two or more kinds of ferrous iron salt and/or ferric iron salt may be used together.

[Ferric-Ferrous Iron Salt]

Ferric-ferrous iron salt of the present invention is iron salt having properties between ferrous iron salt and ferric iron salt and said iron salt is such as inorganic acid salts (e.g. hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate and the like), organic acid salts (e.g. formate, acetate, oxalate citrate, lactate, butyrate, succinate, propionate and the like). Said ferric-ferrous iron salt is prepared by putting ferric iron salt in a large quantity of strong alkaline aqueous solution such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and the like to cause valence conversion from ferric iron to ferrous iron or putting ferrous iron salt in a large quantity of strong acid aqueous solution such as hydrochloride acid, sulfuric acid and the like to cause valance convertion from ferrous iron to ferric iron and said ferric-ferrous iron salt is obtained as transition form during said valence conversion. Concrete illustrations of methods of production of said ferric-ferrous iron salt are shown hereafter.

Commonly, two methods described below are applied to prepare said ferric-ferrous iron salt.

1. Method 1 (Preparation from Ferric Iron Salt)

Ferric chloride (FeCl 3 .6H 2 O), 1.0 mg was dissolved in 100 ml of 0.5 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and stirred, then the solution was allowed to stand for overnight. After filtering out some insoluble products in the solution, the solution was neutralized with hydrochloric acid then concentrated in a reduced pressure desiccator to get a dried and crystallized product. Thus the crystallized product with sodium chloride, that is, chloride of ferric-ferrous iron (hereinafter sometimes referred to as iron chloride (II, III)), was prepared.

In case of extracting iron chloride (II, III) from the crystallized product with sodium chloride, the product was dissolved in 50 ml of 80% by weight isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution to elute iron chloride (II, III). After separating the solution containing eluted iron chloride (II, III), the solution was concentrated at reduced pressure in order to remove the solvent and dry. Then the procedure consisting of elution, concentration and dry was repeated a few times. Thus iron chloride (II, III), 0.25 mg was extracted from the crystallized product with sodium chloride.

2. Method 2 (Preparation from Ferrous Iron Salt)

Ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 .7H 2 O), 1.0 mg was dissolved in 100 ml of 0.5 N HCl aqueous solution and stirred, then the solution was allowed to stand for overnight. After filtering out some insoluble products in the solution, the solution was concentrated in a reduced pressure desiccator to get a dried product. The dried product in powder was dissolved in 10 ml of 80% by weight isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution to elute iron chloride (II, III). After separating the solution containing eluted iron chloride (II, III), the solution was concentrated at reduced pressure in order to remove the solvent and dry. Then the procedure consisting of elution, concentration and dry was repeated a few times. Thus iron chloride (II, III), 0.6 mg was extracted from the crystallized product with sodium chloride.

Efficacy of bioactivation of said iron salts are as follows.

Ferric-ferrous iron salt>ferrous iron salt>ferric iron salt

[Magnesium Salt]

Magnesium salts, used in this invention, include inorganic acid salts such as magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium phosphate, magnesium nitrate, organic acid salts such as magnesium acetate, magnesium butyrate, magnesium formate, magnesium oxalate, magnesium citrate, magnesium propionate, and mixtures thereof. Two or more kinds of magnesium salts may be used together.

[Preparation]

Commonly said iron salt and said magnesium salt are respectively prepared as aqueous solution. In said aqueous solution said iron salt and said magnesium salt are mixed in a molar ration in the range between 1:1 to 1:10 6 and commonly said iron salt is contained in said aqueous solution in a concentration in the range between 10 −12 to 5 moles.

Further vitamin, hormone, fat and oil, perfumery spices, sweetening, and the like may be added in said aqueous solution.

Bioactivator of the present invention is mainly administered orally or by mixing in food as it is further said bioactivator can be administered by injection, instillation or percutaneously.

Said bioactivator of the present invention is especially useful for treatment or prevention of cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, nephritis, renal failure gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, hypertension, collagen disease, allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, pollinosis and the like, menorrhagia, obstipation, and the like and further useful as antimicrobial agent.

Further, said bioactivator of the present invention is useful as cosmetics since said bioactivator has beautificative action of skin besides preventive or treatment action of dermatitis and further said bioactivator has promotive action of growth of animals and plants and improving sense of taste.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT TO PUTTING THE INVENTION INTO PRACTICE

›Examples10

›Example 1

Ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 .6H 2 O), 1 g was dissolved in 5 ml of 12 N HCl aqueous solution and stirred. Then the solution was filtered by filter paper (No. 5C) to remove some insoluble products. A portion of the filtered solution for sampling was concentrated in a reduced pressure desiccator to get a dried product. The dried product in powder was dissolved in 80% by weight isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution. Then the solution containing eluted component was concentrated at reduced pressure in order to remove the solvent and dry. In addition, the procedure consisting of elution, concentration and dry was repeated a few times. Thus crystallized product was prepared.

5% by weight aqueous solution of the crystallized product, 0.01 ml was spotted on a point from 3 cm of the bottom of paper chromatography (PC) filter paper (2 cm×40 cm), then was developed by n-butyl alcohol:acetic acid:H 2 0 (5:1:4, v/v/v) as developing solvent for 15 hours. After developing the filter paper was dried out then colored by spray of 1% by weight potassium ferricyanide aqueous solution as coloring reagent. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed point of the crystallized product was one spot (Rf=0.07).

In addition, a mixture of FeCl 2 and FeCl 3 was spotted on a paper chromatography (PC) filter paper as the same way. As a result, it was confirmed that there were two developed points (FeCl 2 , Rf=0.095, FeCl 3 , Rf=0.36) on the filter paper. These paper chromatography (PC) tests mentioned above accounted for the crystallized product as homogeneous product not mixtures.

Further, a sample solution, 100 ml was prepared by means of dissolving the crystallized product in distilled water. The sample solution (2.5 ml), 0.1% by weight orthophenanthroline aqueous solution (2.5 ml), and sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer solution, pH=4.5, (25 ml) were put into a mess-flask then distilled water was put into the mess-flask until its marked line. After being allowed to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature, an absorbance (510 nm) of the solution was measured. Ferrous iron in the sample solution was 0.019 g/100 ml calculated from standard curve, obtained by FeCl 2 solution in the same way.

Moreover, in the case of putting sample solution into the mess-flask, then hydroxyl mine hydrochloride aqueous solution, 1.0 ml was added to the mess-flask beforehand in order to reduce ferric iron in the sample solution to ferrous iron. As a result, ferrous iron, 0.038 g/100 ml was gotten. It was confirmed that the crystallized product consisted of ferrous iron and ferric iron equivalently because of calculation of ferric iron, 0.019 g/100 ml (=0.038 g/100 ml−0.019 g/100 ml). From consideration of the above-mentioned test, it was concluded that the crystallized product would be Fe 2 Cl 5 .xH 2 O.

›Example 2

Preparation of Ferrous-Ferric Iron Salt

Ferric chloride (1.0 mg) was dissolved in 5 ml of 10 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and stirred. After stirring, the solution was neutralized with 10 N hydrochloric acid, then was filtered by a filter paper (No. 5C) to remove some insoluble products. A portion of the filtered solution for sampling was concentrated in a reduced pressure desiccator to get a dried product. The dried product in powder was dissolved in 80% by weight isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution. Then the solution containing eluted component was concentrated at reduced pressure in order to remove the solvent and dry. In addition, the procedure consisting of elution, concentration and dry was repeated a few times. Thus the crystallized product was prepared. The crystallized product in this example was tested by the same way as Example 1 mentioned above. Thus, it was concluded that the crystallized product would be Fe 2 Cl 5 .xH 2 O.

›Example 3

Preparation of Bioactivator 1

Ferrous chloride (FeCl 2 ) anhydride and magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) anhydride were dissolved in water to prepare a bioactivator 1 in which 1×10 −1 mol/l (FeCl 2 ) and 2×10 −12 mol/l (MgCl 2 ) were contained.

›Example 4

Preparation of Bioactivator 2

Ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 ) anhydride and magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) anhydride were dissolved in water to prepare a bioactivator 2 in which 1×10 −6 mol/l (FeSO 4 ) and 3×10−6 mol/l (MgSO 4 ) were contained.

›Example 5

Preparation of Bioactivator 3

Ferric-ferrous iron prepared in Example 1 and magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) anhydride were dissolved in water to prepare a bioactivator 3 in which 1×10 −10 mol/l (Fe 2 Cl 5 ) and 2×10 −8 mol/l (MgCl 2 ) were contained.

›Example 6

Preparation of Bioactivator 4

Ferric-ferrous iron prepared in Example 2 and magnesium sulfated (MgSO 4 ) anhydride were dissolved in water to prepare a bioactivator 4 in which 1×10 −12 mol/l (Fe 2 Cl 5 ) and 1×10 −2 mol/l (MgSO 4 ) were contained.

›Example 7

Freshness Maintenance Test

Slices of a flatfish were dipped in the bioactivator 1 having been stored for 6 months after preparation, and then water was removed from said slices by a filter paper. Said slices wrapped in polyvinylidene chloride film were then kept at 5° C. K value (i.e. a value for determination of fish freshness) after said slices had been kept for 10 days was about 40 so that said slices of the flatfish were insufficiently eatable condition.

[Comparison 1]

Slices of the flatfish were dipped in an aqueous solution in which 1×10 −12 mol/l (FeCl 2 ) was contained and said aqueous solution had been stored for 6 months (without MgCl 2 ) in Comparison 1. After then, water was removed from said slices by the filter paper and said slices were then kept at 5° C. K value after said slices had been kept for 10 days was about 60 so that said slices at the flat fish was in barely eatable condition.

[Comparison 2]

The same maintenance test was carried out by using slices of the flatfish which was dipped in water as the test of Comparison 2. K value after said slices had been stored for 10 days was about 70 and said slices of the flatfish was in uneatable condition.

As the results of Example 7 and Comparison 1 and 2, it was recognized that FeCl 2 keeps sufficient effect to maintain freshness by adding MgCl 2 even after six months preservation.
