Detailed Description of a Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
The following description is illustrative of preferred embodiments of the invention. The
following description is not to be construed as limiting, it being understood that the
skilled person may carry out many obvious variations to the invention. The description applies to mixtures of phytoene and phytofluene as well as to each one of them separately. Therefore, wherever reference is made to mixtures thereof it is also intended for each of the carotenoids separately as well.
While studying the effect of various carotenoids on LDL oxidation it has been surprisingly found that phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof, are substantially more effective than other carotenoids in inhibiting LDL oxidation.
According to a particular embodiment of the method of the present invention, at least 0.2 mg/day of phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof, are administered to a subject in order to inhibit the oxidation of LDL in the blood and hence arrest the progression of atherosclerosis. Wherein a mixture of said carotenoids is administered, the ratio between phytoene and phytofluene in the mixture is from about 1 :20 to 20:1. Administration may be in daily multiple or single dosages. According to the present method, administration is adopted to achieve an anti-LDL-oxidation effective concentration of phytoene,
phytofluene or mixtures thereof, in the blood, said concentration being at least 0.01 μM.
According to an optional embodiment of the present method, phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof, may be administered in conjunction with conventional anti-atherosclerosis agents.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising an anti-LDL-oxidation effective amount of phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures 'thereof. Said composition comprising at least 0.1 mg of phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof. The composition may further comprise pharmaceutically acceptable
adjuvant, excipients and additives.
A further embodiment of the present invention relates to a solid dosage form for oral
administration, in the form of a tablet, capsule, hard-shell capsule, soft gel or gelcap,
which contains at least 0.1 mg of phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof.
According to yet a further embodiment of the present invention, the use of phytoene,
phytofluene or mixtures thereof, is provided wherein they are added to functional foods
such as bars, dietary supplements, drinks or other food stuff so that said functional foods,
dietary supplements, food stuff and drink provide an inhibitory effect on LDL-oxidation.
According to the present embodiment the functional food, food stuff, dietary supplement
or drink comprise at least 0.1 mg of of phytoene, phytofluene or mixtures thereof.
The following examples illustrate the substantially improved effectiveness of phytoene
and phytofluene over other carotenoids, in the inhibition of LDL oxidation.
Examples
General Procedures All studied compounds were dissolved in THF to a stock solution of lmg/ml. LDL was
dialyzed for 24 hours against phosphate buffered- saline (PBS) prior to its oxidation to
remove any EDTA that can interfere with the oxidation. LDL (lOOμg protein/ml), was
incubated in the absence (Control) or presence of increasing concentrations of each one of
'the studied compounds, as well as, in various combinations including 2, 3 or the 4 constituents at the desired natural distribution. LDL oxidation was induced by the
addition of 5μM of CuSO , for 2 hours at 37°C. LDL oxidation was terminated by
adding ImM Na2 EDTA and immediate refrigeration at 4°C. The extent of LDL oxidation
was then determined by measuring the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances
(TBARS) and of lipid peroxides (PD) formed. Control LDL was supplemented with only THF.
Example 1; Effect of crystalline natural lycopene and of tomato oleoresin on copper
ion-induced LDL oxidation: Concentration study.
LDL (100 μg of protein/mL) was pre-incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C with increasing
concentrations of crystalline pure lycopene, or with tomato oleoresin (at equivalent
lycopene concentrations), followed by a further incubation for 2 hours at 37°C in the
presence of 5 μmol/L of CuSO4. LDL oxidation was measured by the TBARS (A) or by
the lipid peroxides (B) assays respectively. Results are given as mean ± SD (n=3).
Addition of increasing concentrations of lycopene inhibited copper ion-induced LDL
oxidation moderately, in a dose-dependent manner. A maximal 22% and 27% inhibition
in TBARS (Fig 1 A) and in lipid peroxides (Fig IB) formation, respectively, was obtained
on using 50μmol/L of lycopene. However, addition of tomato oleoresin to the lipoprotein,
inhibited LDL oxidation to a much greater extent (about 90% inhibition), with an IC50
(the concentration needed to inhibit LDL oxidation by 50%) of 8.0 μmol/L and 8.4
μmol L of lycopene equivalents for the inhibition of TBARS (Fig 1A) and of lipid
peroxides. (Fig IB) formation, respectively. Example 2; Effect of phytofluene/phytoene on copper ion-induced LDL oxidation:
Concentration study.
Phytofluene/phytoene dose-dependently inhibited CuSO -induced LDL oxidation, as
measured by the TBARS 2(A) and by the lipid peroxides assays 2(B), respectively. The
IC50 of Phytofluene/phytoene in the copper ions-induced LDL oxidation is 0.25 μg/ml for
inhibition of TBARS formation and 0.35 μg/ml for inhibition of lipid peroxides
formation, respectively.
Example 3: Effect of lycopene, vitamin E, β-carotene,, and phytofluene/phytoene on
LDL oxidation.
At the low concentration, which mimics the composition of Lyc-O-Mato®, Lycopene
(lOμg/ml), vitamin E (2.5μg/ml) and β-carotene (0.4μg/ml) did not significantly affect
LDL oxidation. In contrast, phytofluene/phytoene (1.2μg/ml) substantially inhibited LDL
oxidation by 85-90% as analyzed by TBARS and lipid peroxides assays.
Example 4: Effect of lycoepene in combination with antioxidants on LDL oxidation.
On using Lycopene (10 μg/ml) in combination with each one of the other antioxidants
separately (2 compound in each study), the addition to lycopene to β-carotene (0.4μg/ml)
or vitamin E (2.5μg/ml) inhibited LDL oxidation (TBARS assay) by 22% and 11%
respectively, in comparison to the effect of lycopene alone, whereas the addition of
phytofluene/phytoene (1.2μg/ml) inhibited LDL oxidation by as much as 95%. These
results, presented in Fig. 4 show that the addition to lycopene of β-carotene or vitamin E
contribute, though minimally, to the inhibition of LDL oxidation, whereas
phytofluen/phytoen posses the highest capacity to act as a most potent inhibitor of LDL -8-
oxidation (alone, and in combination with lycopene). Similar results were obtained for
LDL oxidation analysis by the lipid peroxides assay.
Example 5: Effect of β-Carotene in combination with antioxidants on LDL
oxidation.
With reference to Fig. 5, on using β-carotene as the major antioxidant alone or in
combination with the other antioxidants, unlike lycopene, it did not affect at all LDL
oxidation alone or in combination with vitamin E. An inhibitory effect (22%) on LDL
oxidation (TBARS) was observed when β-carotene was added in combination with
lycopene and a most potent inhibition of LDL oxidation (98% inhibition, in the TBARS
assay) was obtained on adding β-carotene together with phytofluene/phytoene. Similar
results were obtained for LDL oxidation analyses by the lipid peroxides assay.
Example 6: Effect of vitamin E in combination with antioxidants on LDL oxidation. On using vitamin E as the major antioxidant alone or in combination with the other
antioxidants, the addition of lycopene but not β-carotene, inhibited LDL oxidation by
12% (TBARS assay). The addition of phytofluene/phytoene to vitamin E resulted in a
98% inhibition in LDL oxidation. Similar results were obtained for the lipid peroxides assay as can be seen in Fig. 6.
Example 7: Effect of phytofluene/phytoene in combination with antioxidants on LDL oxidation.
Referring to Fig. 7, phytofluene/phytoene was found to be the most potent antioxidant
among the carotenoids examined, resulting in up to 90% inhibition of LDL oxidation (TBARS assay). The addition of each of the other antioxidant further reduced LDL
oxidation with the highest contribution observed for lycopene.
Example 8: Effect of combination of antioxidants on LDL oxidation. Analysis of the effect of various combinations of 3 antioxidants together were evaluated.
Only when the phytofluen/phytoene fraction was present, in any of the 3 studied
combinations, a substantial, over 90% inhibition in LDL oxidation was observed. When
lycopene, β-carotene and vitamin E were used in combination, in the absence of
phylofluene/phytoene, only minimal inhibition of LDL oxidation was obtained as shown
for both the TBARS and the lipid peroxide assays in Fig. 8.
Example 9: Effect of a Mixture of Carotenoids on LDL oxidation.
The effect of Lyc-O-M ato was compared to a mixture of carotenoids prepared from the
combination of 5 antioxidant compounds in the following concentrations; lycopene
(lOμg/ml), β-carotene (0.4μg/ml), Vitamin E (2.5μg/ml) and phytoene/phytofluene
(1.2μg/ml). Referring to Fig. 9, Lyc-O-Mato® caused about 70% (TBARS assay)
inhibition in LDL oxidation. The carotenoid mixture inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation
was 96%) (TBARS assay). Similar results were obtained for the lipid peroxides assay.
While embodiments of the invention have been described by way of illustration, it will be
apparent that the invention may be carried out with many modifications, variations and
adaptations, without departing from its spirit or exceeding the scope of the claims.
