Antitumor effect
1. 1. Coix lachryma-jobi ethanol extract can inhibit the proliferation of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (ECA) cells and significantly prolong the survival time of animals. Two components were further separated from the extract, one can cause the protoplasm degeneration of cancer cells, and the other can stop the nucleus in the mitotic phase of mesophase.
1.2. The acetone extract of Coix lachryma-jobi also inhibited the intraperitoneal injection of ECA in mice. This anti-tumor activity can be transferred to the acidic part dissolved in petroleum ether. If injected subcutaneously, ascites will become transparent and tumor cells will almost disappear, but the toxicity of this part is correspondingly high. The acetone extract of Coix lachryma-jobi also has obvious inhibitory effect on solid tumors of cervical cancer 14(U 14) and ascites liver cancer (HCA).
1.3. The clinical application of Coicis Semen decoction can prolong the life of patients with advanced cancer. Ascites examination showed that after intraperitoneal injection of Coicis Semen acetone extract, the protoplasm of cancer cells was obviously denatured. It was also found that the 50% ethanol extract of Coix lachryma-jobi seed could promote the keratinization of cultured squamous epithelial cancer cells.
immunologic function
2. 1. The neutral polysaccharide dextran mixture and acidic polysaccharide IIA- 1, 2,3,Ⅱ b separated from the hot water extract of Coix lachryma-jobi have anti-complement activity.
2.2. The mixture of neutral polysaccharide and dextran is highly heterogeneous. Seven kinds of glucans can be separated by HPLC, which are α-D- glucans linked by1→ 4, with glucosyl side chains at the 0-6 position of the main chain. Each purified glucan has a different maximum absorption (530nm or >: 550nm) in iodine reaction, and > 500 nm glucan is more effective than 530 nm glucan, which is considered to have considerable anti-complement activity.
2.3. Further separation and purification of acidic polysaccharides IIA-1,2, 3 and Ⅱ b resulted in anti-complement polysaccharides CA- 1 and CA-2, with protein content of 8- 1 1% and molecular weights of 160000 and 70000 respectively. At low dose, CA-2 showed stronger anti-complement activity than CA- 1.
Effects of lowering blood sugar, calcium and blood pressure
Injection of Coix seed ether extract (Coix seed oil) under rabbit skin can reduce blood sugar and blood calcium. The aqueous extract of Coix lachryma-jobi seed can significantly reduce the blood sugar concentration by intraperitoneal injection in mice, and three effective components, namely Coix lachryma-jobi polysaccharide A, B and C, are separated from it. These components can cause hypoglycemia in normal mice and alloxan-induced hyperglycemia mice. Intravenous injection of coix seed can temporarily reduce blood pressure in rabbits.
Inhibition of trypsin action
A thermostable trypsin inhibitor was found from the bran of Coix lachryma-jobi seeds. It is a simple protein with a molecular weight of about 12000 and contains many cysteine or cystine residues. The molecular ratio of it to bovine trypsin is 1: 2, which shows that it is double-headed, and its activity is stable at pH3- 1 1 and high temperature 100℃, but the thermal stability of its inhibitory activity mainly depends on the type of solvent.
Induced ovulation
The function of hypothalamus can be obviously improved after the patients with intractable anovulation take the prescription of Coicis Semen as the main medicine. Coix lachryma-jobi extract can also induce ovulation in golden hamsters, and the active substances that promote ovulation are feruloyl stigmasterol and feruloyl brassinolide. 9: 1 trans-feruloyl stigmasterol and trans-feruloyl brassinolide (1) showed ovulation induction in golden hamsters at a dose of 200 μ g/day.
Whitening and freckle removing effect
It has been recorded in TCM medical books and ancient books that Coix lachryma-jobi is an excellent cosmetic ingredient, which has beauty beauty functions such as treating warts and acne, removing spots and whitening skin, moistening skin and removing wrinkles. In particular, protein decomposing enzyme contained in it can soften skin cutin, and vitamin E has antioxidant effect.
Action efficacy

Diet staple food: Coix seed has the highest fiber content in grain, low fat and calorie, and is the best diet staple food. It is also rich in protein, oil, vitamins, minerals and sugars. It has the effect of whitening and removing spots, and is especially effective for people with edema in the lower body.
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases: Eating 50-100g of coix seed every day can reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride, and prevent hyperlipidemia, hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular diseases and heart disease.
Hypolipidemic: Because Coix seed is rich in water-soluble fiber, it can absorb bile salt (responsible for digesting fat), which makes the absorption rate of fat in intestine worse, thus reducing blood lipid and blood sugar.
Promote metabolism: Coix seed can promote the metabolism of blood and water in the body, have diuretic and detumescence effects, and help defecation, so it helps to lose weight.
Whitening skin: Coix seed is rich in protein, which helps to eliminate spots and make skin whiter. If you drink it for a long time, it can also achieve the effect of moisturizing the skin!
Coix seed has the function of losing weight and treating facial blisters! Eating 60 grams of coix seed every day can effectively lower plasma cholesterol, prevent cardiovascular diseases, strengthen immune system and increase resistance to diseases. Low concentration of coix seed oil can excite heart, intestine, uterus, skeletal muscle and motor nerve endings, while high concentration can paralyze.
Anti-cancer and anti-cancer: Modern science has confirmed that coix seed contains coix seed fat, which can prevent cancer cells from growing and hurting.
