Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a composition which is effective in retarding or preventing the development of energy decrease, appearance change, etc. of humans and animals due to aging, and is highly safe even with a long period of taking. The present invention relates to an antiaging composition which comprises reduced coenzyme Q as an active ingredient. By feeding mice which develop the aging symptom early (aging-accelerated model mice) with a feed containing reduced coenzyme Q10 for a long period of time, aging process was prevented and retarded. Furthermore, aging-accelerated model mice fed with reduced coenzyme Q10 for a long period of time showed no toxic symptom, thus it was found that the antiaging composition comprising a composition containing said substance can be made into a safe antiaging composition capable of being taken for a long period of time.

DESCRITPION
ANTIAGING COMPOSITION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a composition capable of inhibiting or retarding aging.
BACKGROUND ART
The antiaging effect has so far been considered from two aspects. One is the effect on apparent aging, namely skin aging and, specifically, this includes an improvement of wrinkles and freckles. This effect may include retention of skin elasticity and moisture, and the like effects. Mainly, preparations for external use such as cosmetics have claimed such effects, and some products have actually proved to be effective in humans. The other is the effect on bodily aging except for skin aging. As products effective in preventing bodily aging, antioxidant 2o activity-based supplements may be mentioned. However, when examined in detail, the antiaging effects claimed by these supplements are just analogized from the effects obtained in vitro and not demonstrated from the effects obtained in Yi vo. Among the in vitro effects shown by these supplements, for example, there are the lipid peroxidation inhibiting effect, the inhibitory effect on the formation of homocysteine whose content in the body may possibly increase with aging, and the like. However, any positive correlation between these effects in in vitro testing and 3o the in v~ivo efficacy has not been confirmed. As regards the above-mentioned cosmetics for skin aging, etc., that the influence of oxidative stress on skin aging is great is credible to some extent as demonstrated by the fact of ultraviolet irradiation causing skin deterioration. As for the aging of the living body itself, however, it is considered that the analogy from a mere antioxidant activity is quite insufficient. Although a skin aging inhibitor containing ubiquinone (oxidized coenzyme Q) has been disclosed (Japanese Kohyo Publication 2002-513746), the document gives no description or suggestion about reduced coenzyme Q. Further, a method for the treatment of memory disorder resulting from aging which comprises administering carnitine, if necessary together with a coenzyme Q and/or creatine, is also known in the art (Japanese Kohyo Publication 2003-513039). Tn this method, however, carnitine is an essential ingredient. This publication does not mention at all about reduced coenzyme Qlo or antiaging; in addition, it does not contain any specific report about an anti-mental disorder effect.
Oxidized coenzyme Qlo is on sale as an antiaging supplement. In fact, however, its efficacy has not been demonstrated but is merely an analogy from the antioxidant activity of coenzyme Qlo. Further, reduced coenzyme Qio has not yet been commercialized because of its ready oxidizability~ there is no knowledge in the art about its actual antiaging effect, like oxidized coenzyme Qlo.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a substance or composition capable of preventing (retarding) aging.
The present inventors have made intensive investigations to solve the above-mentioned subjects, and as a result, they have found for the first time that 3o reduced coenzyme Qlo has a distinct aging-preventing (retarding) effect in the invention.
Thus, the present invention relates to an antiaging composition which comprises, as an active ingredient, a reduced coenzyme Q represented by the following formula (1):

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a substance or composition capable of preventing (retarding) aging.
The present inventors have made intensive investigations to solve the above-mentioned subjects, and as a result, they have found for the first time that 3o reduced coenzyme Qlo has a distinct aging-preventing (retarding) effect in the invention.
Thus, the present invention relates to an antiaging composition which comprises, as an active ingredient, a reduced coenzyme Q represented by the following formula (1):
OH
i3 HZCHC(CH3)CHa)n H
(1) in the formula, n represents an integer of 1 to 12.
1o Coenzyme Q is an essential component widely distributed in living organisms, from bacteria to mammals, and is known to occur as a component of the electron transport system of mitochondria within the cells of living bodies. Coenzyme Q functions as an electron carrier in the electron transport system through repeating the cycle of oxidation-reduction in mitochondria. In addition, it is known that reduced coenzyme Q shows antioxidant activity.
In humans, coenzyme Qlo in which the side chain of coenzyme Q has 10 repeating units is the main component. As mentioned above, reduced coenzyme Qlo shows antioxidant activity in vitro but oxidized coenzyme Qlo does not show antioxidant activity. However, it is believed that oxidized coenzyme Qlo is converted to the reduced form by means of reductase in viYO.
As an important feature of coenzyme Qlo, its high safety may be mentioned. It is reported that, in a chronic toxicity test in rats, there was no toxic effect even when coenzyme Qio was administered every day for 52 weeks at 1,200 mg/kg/day (K. D. Williams et al., J. Agric. Food Chem.
47, 3756-3763, 1999). The dose of 1,200 mg/kg/day, when converted to the human basis (body weight 50 kg), corresponds to 60 g/day. Since the usual dose of coenzyme Qlo used as a health food in Europe and .America is 100 to 300 mglday, it is evident that coenzyme Qlo is a very highly safe supplement material.

Coenzyme Q comprises a reduced coenzyme Q represented by the following formula (1):
OH
s H3 H3 (1) H3 ~H2CHC(CH3)CH2)n H
in the formula, n represents an integer of 1 to 12, and/or an oxidized coenzyme Q represented by the following formula (2) Hs Hs H3 ~H2CHC(CH3)CH2) n H ( 2 ) O
in the formula, n represents an integer of 1 to 12.
The method of obtaining oxidized coenzyme Q and reduced coenzyme Q is not particularly restricted.
Employable are, for example, the method comprising obtaining coenzyme Q in the Conventional manner such as synthesis, fermentation or extraction from a natural source, and then concentrating oxidized coenzyme Q fraction or reduced coenzyme Q fraction in the effluent by chromatography. When oxidized coenzyme Q is desired, methods known in the art can be used. When reduced Coenzyme Q is desired, an ordinary reducing agent such as sodium borohydride or sodium dithionite (sodium s5 hydrosulfite), is added to the above coenzyme Q according to need, and the coenzyme Q is reduced in the conventional manner to give reduced coenzyme Q, which is then concentrated by chromatography. Reduced coenzyme Q can also be obtained by the method comprising reacting an 5 existing highly pure coenzyme Q product with such a reducing agent as mentioned above (the method described, for example, in Carpino, Z. A. et al, 1989, J. Org. Chem.
54, 3303-3310).
The antiaging composition of the invention is a composition comprising reduced coenzyme Q as an active ingredient.
So long as the antiaging composition of the invention contains reduced coenzyme Q as an active ingredient, coenzyme Q is not particularly restricted but may consist of a reduced form alone or may be a mixture with a oxidized form.
Coenzyme Q that can be used in the practice of the invention may be any of those having the repeating units in the side chain (n in the formulas) of 1 to 12, as illustrated by the above formulas (1) and (2). Among them, however, one having the repeating units in the side chain of 10 (n in the above formulas (1) and (2) being 10), namely coenzyme Qlo, is particularly preferably used.
In cases where coenzyme Q is a mixture of the reduced and oxidized forms, the content of reduced coenzyme Q is preferably not lower than 20o by weight, more preferably not lower than 40o by weight, still more preferably not lower than 50o by weight, relative to the total amount of coenzyme Q. Generally, the upper limit is preferably not higher than 99.50 by weight, but may be not higher than 950 by weight.
In the antiaging composition of the invention, the content of reduced coenzyme Q is preferably 0.001 to 99o by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 99o by weight, still more preferably 0.1 to 50% by weight, relative to the whole composition.
The antiaging composition of the invention may contain, in addition to coenzyme Q, various additives acceptable from the medical or food hygiene law or the like viewpoint. In cases where it is used as a measure for various diseases, medicaments for the diseases) concerned can be used in combination.
The above-mentioned additives are not particularly restricted but include, for example, excipients/diluents, disintegrants, lubricants, binders, coating agents, colorants, coagulation inhibitors, absorption promoters, solubilizing agents, stabilizers, health food materials, nutritional supplement materials (supplement materials), and the like.
The excipients/diluents are not particularly restricted but include, for example, white sugar, lactose, glucose, corn starch, mannitol, crystalline cellulose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, and the like.
The disintegrants are not particularly restricted but 2o include, for example, starch, agar, calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, dextrin, crystalline cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, tragacanth, and the like.
The lubricants are not particularly restricted but include, for example, talc, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, silica, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and the like.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The following examples illustrate the present invention in further detail. These examples are, however, by no means limitative of the scope of the invention.
The purity and reduced coenzyme Qlo/(reduced coenzyme Qio + oxidized coenzyme Qlo) ratio (weight ratio) were determined by the following HPLC analysis.
(HPLC analysis conditions) Column: SYMMETRY C18 (product of Waters Corporation), 250 mm (length), 4.6 mm (inner diameter); mobile phase:
C2HSOH:CH30H = 4:3 (v: v); detection wavelength: 210 nm; flow 10 rate: 1 ml/min.; retention time for reduced coenzyme Qlo:
9.1 min., retention time for oxidized coenzyme Qlo: 13.3 min.
(Production Example 1) Production of reduced coenzyme Qio 15 100 g of oxidized coenzyme Qlo (purity 99.4%) and 60 g of L-ascorbic acid were added to 1,000 g of ethanol, and the mixture was subjected to the reduction reaction while stirring at 78°C. After the lapse of 30 hours, the mixture was cooled to 50°C and, while maintaining that temperature, 330 g of ethanol and 70 g of water were added. This ethanol solution (containing 100 g of reduced coenzyme Qio) was cooled to 2°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/hour with stirring to give a white slurry. The slurry obtained was filtered under reduced pressure, the wet crystals were washed in sequence with cold ethanol, cold water and cold ethanol (the temperature of the cold solvents used being 2°C), and the wet crystals were further dried under reduced pressure (20 to 40°C, 1 to 30 mmHg) to give 97 g of reduced coenzyme Qlo (containing about 1% of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) as white dry crystals. All the operations other than drying under reduced pressure were carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere.
(Production Example 2) Production of reduced coenzyme Qio 100 g of oxidized coenzyme Qlo was dissolved in 1,000 g of heptane at 25°C. While stirring, the solution was gradually added with an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 100 g of sodium dithionite (purity not lower than 750) as a reducing agent in 1,000 ml of water, thus allowing the reduction reaction to proceed at pH 4 to 6 at 25°C. After the lapse of 2 hours, the aqueous phase was removed from the reaction mixture, and the heptane phase was washed with 1,000 g of a deaerated saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride for six times. This heptane to phase was subjected to solvent substitution under reduced pressure for preparing a 7% (w/w) ethanol solution of reduced coenzyme Qlo at 50°C (the solution containing 100 g of reduced coenzyme Qlo). 50 g of water was added to this ethanol solution, and the mixture was cooled to 2°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/hour while stirring to precipitate crystals. All the operations were carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere. The slurry thus obtained was filtered under reduced pressure, and the wet crystals were washed in sequence with cold ethanol, cold water and cold ethanol (the temperature of the cold solvents used for washing being 2°C). The wet crystals were further dried under reduced pressure (20 to 40°C, 1 to 30 mmHg) to give 97 g of reduced coenzyme Q1o (containing about 1% of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) as white dry crystals.
(Example 1) Aging preventing (retarding) effect in aging-accelerated model mice Aging-accelerated model mice (SAMP1, 3-week-old females) were allowed free access to a feed (CE-2, product of CLEA Japan, Inc.) containing 0.2°s reduced coenzyme Qlo (containing about 10 of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) obtained in' Production Example 1, and the aging degree of each mouse was quantified with time according to the aging degree score mentioned below. The dose of reduced coenzyme Qlo as estimated from the feed consumption and animal weight corresponded to about 150 to 250 mg/kg/day. A control group was given the feed alone (CE-2, product of CZEA Japan, Inc. ) .
The aging-accelerated model mice used were model mice discovered and bred at Kyoto University which develop the state of aging early and markedly. These mice show the state of aging quite similar to that of humans, and are useful model animals for in vi vo testing for antiaging effects. The aging degree scoring system employed was the scoring system established by the Council for SAM Research.
Thus, scores of 0 to 4 were given to each animal with respect to each of the following 11 items: 1: decrease in activity (searching behavior), 2: decrease in passivity (pinching escaping behavior), 3: loss of hair luster, 4:
roughening of hair, 5: loss of hair, 6: skin ulcer, 7:
periophthalmic lesions (blepharitis and periophthalmic erosion), 8: corneal clouding, 9: corneal ulcer, 10:
cataract, 11: increased anterior or backward spinal curvature. The conditions found in a group of young mice 2o about 3 months of age were taken as standards and given the score 0 (zero). Thus, a higher score indicates more advanced aging.
The results are shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen in Fig. 1, the aging degree scores could be distinctly prevented from increasing as a result of taking of reduced coenzyme Q10.
(Comparative Example 1) The test of Example 1 was performed in the same manner except that oxidized coenzyme Q10 was used in lieu of reduced coenzyme Q10. The dose of oxidized coenzyme Qlo as estimated from the feed consumption and animal body weight corresponded to about 150 to 250 mg/kg/day, and it was nearly the same as the dose of reduced coenzyme Q10.
The results are shown in Fig. 2. As a result of taking of oxidized coenzyme Qlo~ the increases in aging degree score were suppressed to a certain extent but the aging preventing effect thereof was weak as compared.with that of reduced coenzyme Qlo.
(Preparation Example 1) Powder Reduced coenzyme Q1o (containing about 10 of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) was dissolved in propanol and allowed to be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose, which was then dried under reduced pressure. This was mixed with corn starch in a nitrogen flow to give a powder preparation.

In the case of oral administration, for example, the l0 dose of the antiaging composition of the invention as expressed in terms of the amount of coenzyme Q is preferably 30 to 1,200 mg, more preferably 50 to 800 mg, still more preferably 100 to 300 mg, per day per human.
The antiaging composition of the invention can prevent or retard the aging of humans and/or animals.
The term "aging" as used herein refers, for example, to blunting of behavior, for example decreased activity or decreased passivity, backbone bending, loss of hair, corneal clouding, inflammation periphery of the eye and/or ear, and the like.
The administration of the antiaging composition of the invention can delay the onset of, or ameliorate, these aging-associated symptoms.
In evaluating such antiaging effects, for example, aging-accelerated model mice, can be used as an in vi Uo evaluation model. This mouse is a model mouse discovered and bred at Kyoto University, Japan, which develops the state of aging early and markedly. This mouse shows the state of aging quite similar to that of humans, and is a useful model animal for in vi vo testing for antiaging effects.
The method of preventing aging in an animal according to the invention comprises administering the above antiaging composition to the target animal.
The animal includes mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, insects, and the like. Preferred as the animal are mammals, for example humans.
The term "administering" includes, within the meaning thereof, topical, enteral, e.g. oral or rectal, or parenteral administration. As for the route of administration, oral administration is preferred.
The reduced coenzyme Q-containing composition of the invention produces excellent effect on preventing or retarding aging.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The following examples illustrate the present invention in further detail. These examples are, however, by no means limitative of the scope of the invention.
The purity and reduced coenzyme Qlo/(reduced coenzyme Qio + oxidized coenzyme Qlo) ratio (weight ratio) were determined by the following HPLC analysis.
(HPLC analysis conditions) Column: SYMMETRY C18 (product of Waters Corporation), 250 mm (length), 4.6 mm (inner diameter); mobile phase:
C2HSOH:CH30H = 4:3 (v: v); detection wavelength: 210 nm; flow 10 rate: 1 ml/min.; retention time for reduced coenzyme Qlo:
9.1 min., retention time for oxidized coenzyme Qlo: 13.3 min.
(Production Example 1) Production of reduced coenzyme Qio 15 100 g of oxidized coenzyme Qlo (purity 99.4%) and 60 g of L-ascorbic acid were added to 1,000 g of ethanol, and the mixture was subjected to the reduction reaction while stirring at 78°C. After the lapse of 30 hours, the mixture was cooled to 50°C and, while maintaining that temperature, 330 g of ethanol and 70 g of water were added. This ethanol solution (containing 100 g of reduced coenzyme Qio) was cooled to 2°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/hour with stirring to give a white slurry. The slurry obtained was filtered under reduced pressure, the wet crystals were washed in sequence with cold ethanol, cold water and cold ethanol (the temperature of the cold solvents used being 2°C), and the wet crystals were further dried under reduced pressure (20 to 40°C, 1 to 30 mmHg) to give 97 g of reduced coenzyme Qlo (containing about 1% of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) as white dry crystals. All the operations other than drying under reduced pressure were carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere.
(Production Example 2) Production of reduced coenzyme Qio 100 g of oxidized coenzyme Qlo was dissolved in 1,000 g of heptane at 25°C. While stirring, the solution was gradually added with an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 100 g of sodium dithionite (purity not lower than 750) as a reducing agent in 1,000 ml of water, thus allowing the reduction reaction to proceed at pH 4 to 6 at 25°C. After the lapse of 2 hours, the aqueous phase was removed from the reaction mixture, and the heptane phase was washed with 1,000 g of a deaerated saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride for six times. This heptane to phase was subjected to solvent substitution under reduced pressure for preparing a 7% (w/w) ethanol solution of reduced coenzyme Qlo at 50°C (the solution containing 100 g of reduced coenzyme Qlo). 50 g of water was added to this ethanol solution, and the mixture was cooled to 2°C at a cooling rate of 10°C/hour while stirring to precipitate crystals. All the operations were carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere. The slurry thus obtained was filtered under reduced pressure, and the wet crystals were washed in sequence with cold ethanol, cold water and cold ethanol (the temperature of the cold solvents used for washing being 2°C). The wet crystals were further dried under reduced pressure (20 to 40°C, 1 to 30 mmHg) to give 97 g of reduced coenzyme Q1o (containing about 1% of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) as white dry crystals.
(Example 1) Aging preventing (retarding) effect in aging-accelerated model mice Aging-accelerated model mice (SAMP1, 3-week-old females) were allowed free access to a feed (CE-2, product of CLEA Japan, Inc.) containing 0.2°s reduced coenzyme Qlo (containing about 10 of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) obtained in' Production Example 1, and the aging degree of each mouse was quantified with time according to the aging degree score mentioned below. The dose of reduced coenzyme Qlo as estimated from the feed consumption and animal weight corresponded to about 150 to 250 mg/kg/day. A control group was given the feed alone (CE-2, product of CZEA Japan, Inc. ) .
The aging-accelerated model mice used were model mice discovered and bred at Kyoto University which develop the state of aging early and markedly. These mice show the state of aging quite similar to that of humans, and are useful model animals for in vi vo testing for antiaging effects. The aging degree scoring system employed was the scoring system established by the Council for SAM Research.
Thus, scores of 0 to 4 were given to each animal with respect to each of the following 11 items: 1: decrease in activity (searching behavior), 2: decrease in passivity (pinching escaping behavior), 3: loss of hair luster, 4:
roughening of hair, 5: loss of hair, 6: skin ulcer, 7:
periophthalmic lesions (blepharitis and periophthalmic erosion), 8: corneal clouding, 9: corneal ulcer, 10:
cataract, 11: increased anterior or backward spinal curvature. The conditions found in a group of young mice 2o about 3 months of age were taken as standards and given the score 0 (zero). Thus, a higher score indicates more advanced aging.
The results are shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen in Fig. 1, the aging degree scores could be distinctly prevented from increasing as a result of taking of reduced coenzyme Q10.
(Comparative Example 1) The test of Example 1 was performed in the same manner except that oxidized coenzyme Q10 was used in lieu of reduced coenzyme Q10. The dose of oxidized coenzyme Qlo as estimated from the feed consumption and animal body weight corresponded to about 150 to 250 mg/kg/day, and it was nearly the same as the dose of reduced coenzyme Q10.
The results are shown in Fig. 2. As a result of taking of oxidized coenzyme Qlo~ the increases in aging degree score were suppressed to a certain extent but the aging preventing effect thereof was weak as compared.with that of reduced coenzyme Qlo.
(Preparation Example 1) Powder Reduced coenzyme Q1o (containing about 10 of oxidized coenzyme Qlo) was dissolved in propanol and allowed to be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose, which was then dried under reduced pressure. This was mixed with corn starch in a nitrogen flow to give a powder preparation.
