Abstract:
The present invention provides novel water-soluble compositions comprising sesquiterpene coumarin enriched fractions containing different ratios of sesquiterpene  coumarin derived from Ferula species for the treatment of Parkinson's disease via inhibition of MAO enzyme (MAO-A and MAO-B). The invention also provides a  method of preparation of ethyl-acetate extract and sesquiterpene coumarin enriched fractions from asafoetida (Hing) that is oleo-gum-resin of Ferula assa-foetida using  silica gel column chromatography wherein the mobile phase consists of differing compositions of hexane, toluene, chloroform, ethyl-acetate and methanol. The  invention provides the method to prepare the formulation using a multistep process comprising of preparing sesquiterpene coumarin enriched fraction followed by  preparing water-soluble formulation. The final composition improves the water solubility, imparts long-term stability, exerts MAO inhibitory activity, and improves  pharmaceutical compliance. The product can be formulated into liquid, semi-solid, solid and gel dosage forms for the management and treatment of Parkinson's disease  through the inhibition of MAO and finds application in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, phytochemical, and healthcare industries.
