2. Description of the Related Art Originally, inflammation is one of the biological defense reactions, but if it becomes excessive, it causes pain, itch, and fever.
There has been a high demand for anti-inflammatory agents since ancient times. It was known that the bark of willow has an anti-inflammatory effect, but the active substance is a glycoside called salicin, which changes its activity to salicylic acid in the body and exerts its activity. Currently, synthetic indomethacin is used as a typical anti-inflammatory agent.
Salicylic acid and indomethacin are called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and their mechanism is inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, so they show high activity at low concentrations.
However, since prostaglandins also suppress gastric acid secretion, protect gastric mucosa, etc., side effects such as gastric ulcer and renal damage due to long-term administration are feared.

The steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include adrenocortical hormones such as hydrocortisone, prednisolone, and triamcinolone. These drugs only inhibit the upstream part of the arachidonic acid cascade and have the same side effects as nonsteroidal drugs. In addition to having it, there is also a risk of infection due to adrenocortical dysfunction or immunosuppressive action.

The acidic oligosaccharide composition can be obtained by using a lignocellulosic material derived from chemical pulp as a raw material, through a hydrolysis step, a concentration step, a dilute acid treatment step, and a purification step. In the hydrolysis process, dilanic acid treatment, high-temperature and high-pressure steam (steaming / explosion) treatment, or xylan in lignocellulose is selectively hydrolyzed by hemicellulase,
A high molecular weight complex of xylooligosaccharide and lignin is obtained as an intermediate. In the concentration step, the xylooligosaccharide-lignin-like substance complex is concentrated by a reverse osmosis membrane or the like, and oligosaccharides having a low degree of polymerization and low molecular contaminants can be removed. It is preferable to use a reverse osmosis membrane in the concentration step, but it is also possible to use an ultrafiltration membrane, salting out, dialysis and the like. A lignin-like substance is released from the complex by a dilute acid treatment step of the obtained concentrated liquid, and a dilute acid treatment liquid containing acidic xylooligosaccharide and neutral xylooligosaccharide can be obtained. At this time, since the lignin-like substance separated from the complex condenses and precipitates under acidic conditions, it can be removed by filtration using a ceramic filter or filter paper. In the dilute acid treatment step, it is preferable to use acid hydrolysis, but enzymatic decomposition using a lignin-degrading enzyme or the like is also possible.

The purification step comprises an ultrafiltration step, a decolorization step and an adsorption step. Some lignin-like substances remain in solution as soluble polymers, but are removed by the ultrafiltration step,
Contaminants such as coloring substances are mostly removed by a decolorization process using activated carbon. It is preferable to use an ultrafiltration membrane in the ultrafiltration step, but it is also possible to use a reverse osmosis membrane, salting out, dialysis and the like. Acidic xylooligosaccharides and neutral xylooligosaccharides are dissolved in the sugar solution thus obtained. Only the acidic xylooligosaccharide can be extracted from this sugar solution by the adsorption step using an ion exchange resin. The sugar solution is first treated with a strong cation exchange resin to remove metal ions in the sugar solution. Then, sulfate ions and the like in the sugar solution are removed using a strong anion exchange resin. In this step, a part of the organic acid which is a weak acid and the coloring component are removed at the same time as the removal of sulfate ion. The sugar solution treated with the strong anion exchange resin is treated again with the strong cation exchange resin to further remove metal ions. Finally, it is treated with a weak anion exchange resin to adsorb the acidic xylooligosaccharide onto the resin.

The advantages of the above-mentioned production method of the acidic xylo-oligosaccharide composition, which uses lignocellulose derived from chemical pulp as a raw material and has a high-molecular-weight complex of xylooligosaccharide and lignin as an intermediate, is economical and the average degree of polymerization of xylose. The point is that an acidic xylo-oligosaccharide composition having a high content can be easily obtained. The average degree of polymerization can be changed by, for example, adjusting the dilute acid treatment condition or treating again with hemicellulase. Further, by changing the salt concentration of the eluate used for elution of the weak anion exchange resin, it is possible to obtain an acidic xylooligosaccharide composition in which the number of uronic acid residues bound per molecule is different. Furthermore, it is also possible to obtain an acidic xylo-oligosaccharide composition in which the uronic acid-binding site is limited to the terminal by reacting with an appropriate xylanase or hemicellulase.
