Description

    The present invention relates to an anti-inflammatory agent, a hyaluronidase inhibitor, and an antiallergic agent having a high hyaluronidase inhibitory action.

  Hyaluronic acid is a kind of mucopolysaccharide that is abundant in tissues such as skin and joint fluid.For example, in the skin, cell protection, nutrient transport, tissue moisture retention, flexibility maintenance, etc. As synovial fluid, it plays an important role in maintaining the tissue structure / function and maintaining lubricity.

  The amount of hyaluronic acid in living bodies such as skin and joints decreases due to aging or pathological conditions, which may cause dry skin, decreased elasticity, increased wrinkles, rough skin, joint pain due to deterioration of joint wettability, etc. Raise. On the other hand, by inhibiting hyaluronidase, which is an enzyme that hydrolyzes hyaluronic acid, it is possible to suppress the degradation of hyaluronic acid and contribute to the maintenance of the amount of biological hyaluronic acid.

  It is known that hyaluronidase is activated at the time of inflammation, thereby destroying the matrix of connective tissue and enhancing the infiltration of inflammatory tissues and the permeability of blood vessels. It is also known that hyaluronidase mediates the process of histamine release from mast cells in type I allergy. Therefore, the hyaluronidase inhibitor can be used as an anti-inflammatory / anti-allergic agent caused by hyaluronidase.

  Therefore, hyaluronidase inhibitors are increasing in number of patients in recent years, and are expected to prevent or improve allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, hay fever, bronchial asthma and food allergies, which are becoming social problems. For example, anti-allergic sodium cromoglycate and tranilast, and anti-inflammatory drugs aspirin and indomethacin have hyaluronidase activity inhibitory activity, suggesting that this inhibitory role plays a role in exerting therapeutic effects. (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).

  Conventionally, as a hyaluronidase inhibitor, carrageenan, alginic acid, hydrolyzate of alginic acid (see Patent Document 1), manly extract (see Patent Document 2), low molecular weight psyllium seed gum (see Patent Document 3), and the like are known. However, the effect was not sufficient.

  As a derivative of chlorogenic acid, it is known that ethyl ester of chlorogenic acid exerts an anti-influenza virus effect (see Patent Document 4).

"Hyaluronidase inhibitory action"
Commercially available hyaluronic acid potassium salt (derived from human umbilical cord) was dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) to a concentration of 0.9 mg / mL to obtain a substrate solution. A commercially available hyaluronidase (derived from bovine testis) was dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) so as to be 5,3000 units / mL to obtain an enzyme solution. The enzyme solution was prepared at the time of use. In a test tube, 0.1 mL of a sample solution adjusted to each concentration with a buffer solution and 0.03 mL of an enzyme solution were taken and reacted at 37 ° C. for 20 minutes. Next, 0.06 mL of an activator was added and reacted at 37 ° C. for 20 minutes. Further, 0.15 mL of the substrate solution was added and reacted at 37 ° C. for 1 hour. 0.06 mL of 0.4N NaOH was added to stop the reaction, and the mixture was immediately cooled with ice. Then, 0.06 mL of borate buffer (pH 9.1) was added, and the mixture was boiled for 3 minutes and further cooled with ice. After 2.0 mL of p-dimethylbenzaldehyde (p-DABA) solution was added and reacted at 37 ° C. for 20 minutes, the solution was transferred from each test tube to a 96-well microplate, and the absorbance at 585 nm was measured using a microplate reader. It was measured. As a control, a solution to which only the buffer solution used for dissolving the sample was added was used. When the activity of hyaluronidase is inhibited, the degradation product N-acetylglucosamine decreases. Absorbance by p-DABA is lowered. Utilizing this fact, the inhibitory activity was obtained from the following equation. The results are summarized in Table 2.
Inhibition rate (%) = (control absorbance−sample absorbance) / control absorbance × 100
