Cinnamon extract is in preparation treatment or the medicine of prophylaxis of tumours or the application in health product
Technical field
The present invention relates to the new purposes of cinnamon extract, be specifically related to cinnamon extract in preparation treatment or the medicine of prophylaxis of tumours or the application in health product.
Background technology
Along with social development, the improvement of human living standard and medical environment, human longevity has obtained significant prolongation, but in the time of rapid economic development, environmental pollution is serious, cause the sickness rate of malignant tumor also improving, serious threat human health, brings white elephant to country and society.Realize malignant tumor effectively under the prerequisite for the treatment of there is no active drug, research and development have medicine and the health product of preventive effect, prevent the early origin of disease and become effective coping strategy.
Nuclear factor Nrf2(Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor2) be the important transcription factor that regulates cellular oxidation reduction balance, by reacting original paper (ARE) in conjunction with regulating cell redox equilibrium with antioxidase and II phase detoxication enzyme promoter region antioxidation, its target gene comprises the II phase detoxication enzyme of coding GST, UGT, γ GCS, NQO1, and the endogenous antioxidation albumen such as GCL, HO-1.When body is exposed under the material that electrophilicity foreign body, chemical carcinogen, endogenous oxidant etc. have damage body; Nrf2 just can be activated and pass through to raise antioxidase and II phase detoxication enzyme is removed nuisance; protection body is avoided damage (the Lau et al. of poisonous substance; Pharmacol.Res.; 2008; 58,262-270).Therefore, by activating Nrf2 signal path, enhancing body self is removed poisonous substance and carcinogenic ability, generation that can prevention of various diseases, for example malignant tumor.
Under oxidative stress status, in the face of endogenous and the infringement of exogenous poisonous substance to body, utilize exogenous Nrf2 agonist to raise body Nrf2 level, can enhancing body self-defense ability, the damages of poisonous substance to body such as prevention endogenous active oxygen, exogenous carcinogen, significant (the Magesh et al. of generation for prevention malignant tumor, Med.Res.Rev., 2012,32,4,687-726).Activate Nrf2 signal path, can raise II phase detoxication enzyme level, remove carcinogen or reduce its toxicity, suppress DNA damage, the gene mutation of carcinogen induction, by raising Nrf2, express, can increase glutathion inside cell level, strengthen activities of antioxidant enzymes, active oxygen in scavenger cell, suppresses cytolipin peroxidating, thus the generation of prevention malignant tumor.Therefore monomeric compound, plant extract that, has Nrf2 agonism etc. can effectively prevent the incidence rate of malignant tumor.
Cinnamomum (Cinnamomum), is a genus of Lauraceae, approximately 250 kinds, is distributed in Tropical Asia, Australia to Pacific Islands and tropical America.China approximately has 46 kinds, each provinces and regions, main product south, and planting number is at most Yunnan, is secondly Guangdong and Sichuan, wherein Cortex Cinnamomi, bavin osmanthus, Gui,Chuan osmanthus, south China are important medical materials.In cinnamon, mainly contain the chemical compositions such as volatile oil, flavone, Phenylpropanoid Glycosides.
Summary of the invention
For above-mentioned prior art, the invention discloses the new purposes of cinnamon extract---cinnamon (comprising Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy perfume (or spice), yellow Camphor tree) extract, in preparation treatment or the medicine of prophylaxis of tumours or the application in health product.The present invention also provides the preparation method of cinnamon extract.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:
The present inventor finds by research, cinnamon (comprises Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy fragrant, yellow Camphor tree) extract, can activate Nrf2 signal path, and can resist the cytotoxicity of carcinogen arsenic and the generation of active oxygen hydrogen peroxide by Cell protection, therefore, the above-mentioned cinnamon extract of can take is prepared the health product of prophylaxis of tumours as raw material, also can prepare treat tumor medicine (through By consulting literatures, there are no cinnamon extract, activate up to now the report of Nrf2 signal path, also have no cinnamon for the report of tumor prevention and treatment).
During concrete application, cinnamon (comprising Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy perfume (or spice), the yellow Camphor tree) extract of can take is raw material, add medically acceptable adjuvant, make the dosage forms such as capsule (comprising soft capsule), tablet, powder, granule, oral liquid, medicated wine, pill, pellet, mixture, tincture, preferred particulates agent, capsule, tablet; Or cinnamon extract is further purified and makes ejection preparation.Also cinnamon extract and other can be had to the medicament mixed for the treatment of or preventive effect to tumor, add again or do not add medically acceptable adjuvant, making the dosage forms such as capsule (comprising soft capsule), tablet, powder, granule, oral liquid, medicated wine, pill, pellet, mixture, tincture, injection.
Described cinnamon extract, prepares by the following method:
Cinnamon (comprising Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy perfume (or spice), yellow Camphor tree) aerial parts is pulverized, by 0~95% ethanol (percentage by volume) reflux, extract, 1~8 time, each solvent load is 1~20 times of medical material weight, and each extraction time is 0.5~10 hour; Merge extractive liquid,, filters, and reclaims ethanol, concentrates, is dried, and obtains cinnamon extract.
Preferably, with 30~90% alcohol reflux 2~4 times, the consumption of each solvent is 3~7 times of medical material weight, and each extraction time is 2~4 hours.
Described any one cinnamon extract, all can be for the preparation of medicine or the health product for the treatment of or prophylaxis of tumours.
The present inventor has completed cinnamon (comprising Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy perfume (or spice), yellow Camphor tree) extract to the effect of Nrf2 signal activation, and the research of the Cytotoxic protective effect that carcinogen arsenic and active oxygen hydrogen peroxide are caused.Result shows, above-mentioned cinnamon extract can activate Nrf2 at protein level, increases the expression of Nrf2 and downstream gene NQO1 and GCS, by increasing the level of glutathion inside cell, strengthens cell reducing power.Inventor also finds that they can suppress the cytotoxicity of carcinogen arsenic and the induction of active oxygen hydrogen peroxide, show the ability that suppresses cell carcinogenesis.With cinnamon, comprise Cortex Cinnamomi, hard leaf Camphor tree, Mao Yezhang, Lignum cinnamomi camphorae, cloudy perfume (or spice), yellow Camphor tree below, introduce it to Nrf2 signal path and Cytotoxic effect that carcinogen arsenic and active oxygen hydrogen peroxide are caused:
