The Nemacystus decipiens extract is preferably a purified Nemacystus decipiens extract obtained by subjecting the polar solvent extract of Nemacystus decipiens to a supercritical extraction method using carbon dioxide as a solvent to remove the low polar fraction, or by subjecting the Nemacystus decipiens to a supercritical extraction method using carbon dioxide as a solvent to remove the non-polar fraction, and then extracting the residue with an aqueous solvent. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
