Description

Application No. PCT/EP2008/062239 SMB Publication No. W02009/037225 Preparation of Leaf Extracts from Pittosporum philyraeoides and the Use Thereof in Medicine The present invention relates to extracts from leaves of a subspecies of the tree or shrub Pittosporum phillyraeoides, especially Pittosporum phillyraeoides DC, subspecies microcarpa S. Moore, methods for the preparation thereof, and the use of the extracts themselves or of pharmaceutical composition containing them for prophylactic and therapeutic uses, especially in malignant diseases. Plants and their components, such as leaves, bark, flowers, seeds, fruits and roots, are still an important source of medically utilizable defined substances or also undefined mixtures of substances. On a worldwide or regionally limited basis, original or chemically modified natural substances are used as medicines. The field of indications ranges from the treatment of chronic and acute inflammations, infections, circulatory disorders to cancers. Examples of pharmacologically active substances of plant origin include hydrolases, such as bromelain and papain, ganomycins, ginkgolides and taxol. The medically utilized active substances from plants can be processed in various forms. They range from aqueous extracts prepared from dried plant parts to elaborately isolated active substances, which may be chemically modified in addition. The chemical processes employed for this purpose are determined by the chemical or physicochemical properties of the active substances or groups of substances. A mechanical and optionally enzymatic pretreatment is usually effected to digest the plant components. Microwaves or ultrasound have also become commonly H:\rbr\InLerwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\RBR\4951960_1.doc-01.03.2013 -2 used means in the meantime. All these processes may also be employed in combination. In the extraction of plant components, a processing method that saves the active substances as much as possible is sought while ineffective or disturbing substances should be depleted. With leaves of Pittosporum phillyraeoides, this object is achieved, in particular, by the use of aqueous and/or alcoholic solvents. Aqueous and organic solvents of different polarities, ion concentrations and temperatures are usually employed for the extraction. Mixtures of different solvents are also common, as are different extraction times, for example, by using Soxhlet extractors. The extractions, scheduled, for several hours, are frequently supported by using agitation apparatus. Largely independently of the extraction methods employed, the end of this process involves the removal of organic solvents, the concentration of the extract and possibly its freeze-drying. Possible oral dosage forms of the extracts obtained are drops, capsules, coated tablets or tablets, optionally in enteric design. Ointments, suspensions or sprays prepared for topical application are further commonly used. Plant extracts can also be employed therapeutically as injectable liquids (intravenously, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, intratumorally). Additions of auxiliaries that improve the solubility of the extracts, their stability and bioavailability are commonly used. In one aspect, the present invention provides processes for the preparation of extracts from the leaves of Pittosporum phillyraeoides DC, subspecies microcarpa S. Moore, and the use thereof, also in pharmaceutical formulation, for the prophylaxis and treatment of malignant diseases. Surprisingly, it has been found that particularly processed forms of the leaf extracts have a H:\ayl\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\AYL\4951968_1.doc-01.03.2013 -3 particular medicinal effect on cancers, such as prostate cancer, lung cancer or breast cancer. Several synonyms of Pittosporum phillyraeoides are known, for example, P. ligustrifolium, longifolium, salicinum and lanceolatum. The plant is endemic in Australia, among others, where is bears a number of trivial names, such as willow tree, gumbi gumbi, butter bush, weeping Pittosporum. Outside Australia, the evergreen trees or shrubs of the genus Pittosporum are used by humans in tropical climates worldwide, for example, as ornamental plants, fish poison or hop substitute. Their application for medicinal purposes is known from the aborigines. Thus, the leaves are mechanically crushed by the medicine women by chewing and fermented by the saliva. The leaf pulp admixed with saliva is subsequently collected and warmed up by exposure to the sun. The leaf pulp is orally administered to sick people or applied to wounds or painful body parts. The preparation of a tea from the leaves of Pittosporum philyraeoides is also common is some regions. The leaf extracts can be prepared by various methods known from phytopharmacy. The following aqueous, enzymatic or alcoholic extraction methods have been found useful for the production of extracts from leaves of Pittosporum phillyraeoides DC, subspecies microcarpa S. Moore. Thus, the invention relates to an extract from leaves of Pittosporum phillyraeoides DC, especially var. microcarpa S. Moore. The leaves may have various ages and also various degrees of dryness. Accordingly, the present invention provides an extract from leaves of Pittosporum phillyraeoides DC, prepared by a process comprising extracting the leaves with a solvent from the group consisting of water, methanol, ethanol and combinations thereof, at a temperature in the range of from 10 to 80 *C and fermenting the leaves and solvent to provide an extract.
H:\rbr\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\RBR\4951968_1.doc-01.03.2013 -4 The extract according to the invention is obtainable by extraction with water, methanol, ethanol or combinations thereof, optionally with the addition of amylase. The extract is typically obtained by treatment with the mentioned extractants water, methanol and/or ethanol at elevated temperatures. Extractions at temperatures up to the boiling point of the respectively employed alcoholic extractant, or up to 80 *C for water, have proven to be particularly useful. However, temperature ranges of from 10 *C to 80 *C are typically used. After the liquid extract has been obtained, it can be solidified by evaporating the solvent, especially by freeze-drying. According to the invention, the extract can be administered in a pharmaceutical formulation for oral and extracorporeal topical administration and for intravenous, intramuscular or intracutaneous application and for application as a clysma. The extract according to the invention is useful for the prophylaxis and therapy of malignant diseases. For the preparation of an extract according to the invention for administration, stabilizing pharmaceutical, chemical or biological auxiliaries may be added to the extract. The extract may also be administered in combination with other pharmacologically or medicinally active substances or mixtures of substances. The invention also relates to the use of the extract according to the invention for the treatment of malignant diseases. Example 1: Preparation of the extract by aqueous decoction for several weeks at varying temperatures (10 to 80 *C) The dried and shredded leaves are mixed with sterile tap water at a ratio of 800 to 1200 g per liter of water, and heated at 70 ± 10 *C for about one hour. The use of fermentation tanks having a volume of about 10-20 I of liquid is H.\rbr\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\RBR\4951968_1.doc-01.03.2013 -5 advantageous. The fermentation tank filled with the mixture is exposed to the natural temperature variations in the open air for 2-3. At the north Australian east coast, the temperature vary from 15 to 40 *C. Thereafter, the thus formed extract is filtered and admixed with alcohol (final concentration 15 ± 5%). The extract is again passed through a wine filter and then stored at 4 *C until use within 12 months. Example 2: Preparation of the extract by enzymatic digestion by means of amylase Amylase of commercial origin is added to physiological saline at a suitable concentration at a ratio of 20 : 80 (grams : volume) and incubated with shaking for 1 to 24 hours or several days, the temperature being 37 *C for 1 hour and thereafter room temperature (20 ± 4 *C). Subsequently, the liquid was filtered, and the filtrate was reduced in volume by lyophilization. Example 3: Preparation of the extract by hot ethanol The extract is obtained by ethanol at 70 *C, which is incubated at a mixing ratio of 1 : 10 (grams of shredded leaves : ml of ethanol) with shaking for 24 hours. After the filtration, the ethanol is distilled off to leave the extract as a residue. Example 4: Preparation of the extract by a methanol/water mixture The composition of the extraction mixture is similar to that of Example 3, wherein a mixture of 80% methanol with water serves as the extractant. The reference in this specification to any prior publication (or information derived from it), or to any matter which is known, is not, and should not be taken as an acknowledgment or admission or any form of suggestion that that prior publication (or information derived from it) or known matter forms part of the common general knowledge in the field of endeavour to which this specification relates.
