Coix lacryma-jobi Linn.

Coixol (6-Methoxy-2-benzoxazolinone; 6-MBOA) is a potent and orally active anti-inflammatory agent. Coixol decreases the iNOS protein expression. Coixol inhibits the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. Coixol improves glucose tolerance and plasma insulin. Coixol decreases the blood glucose level.

Coixenolide can be isolated from coix seeds, and exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and pain-reducing activities. Coixenolide stimulates the lung, heart, striated and smooth muscles at low doses, while inhibits at high doses. Coixenolide dilates pulmonary veins and improves pulmonary blood circulation. Coixenolide can also be used as nutraceuticals and functional foods. Coixenolide enhances the prodcutionof mycelia biomass and polysaccharides when added to the media of submerged culture of G. lucidum. Coixenolide affects the synthesis level of phosphoglucose isomerase and α-phosphoglucomutase.

Coicis semen extract is an extract isolated fromCoicis semen.

Coix lacryma-jobi seeds polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Coix lacryma-jobi seeds.

Coix lacryma-jobi seed extract is an extract of Coix lacryma-jobi L., which has anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and cholesterol-lowering activities.
