Description

本発明は、精白米から抽出されたタンパク質を有効成分とする、血清尿酸値を低下させる技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a technique for lowering serum uric acid levels, which comprises a protein extracted from polished rice as an active ingredient.

尿酸は、ヒトにおいてプリン体の最終代謝産物であり、ATPの分解や食物中の核酸の代謝で産生され、最終的に尿中に排泄されている。通常、尿酸の産生と排出は均衡しているが、産生量の増加や排出量の減少などの理由で均衡が崩れ血清尿酸値が7mg/dlを超えると高尿酸血症と定義され、この状態が続くと痛風の発作が起きるリスクが高いとされている。高尿酸血症はかつて日本では稀な病気であったが、食生活の欧米化やアルコール摂取量の増加といった要因によって患者数は年々増加し、現在の患者数は900万人に達すると推定されている。高尿酸血症は痛風の原因となるだけではなく、痛風腎の原因となることや、心血管・脳血管障害のリスクを上げる可能性があることが指摘されている。高尿酸血症の治療は、痛風発作や合併症を伴わない患者においては食事療法・運動療法が中心となっている。しかし、カロリー制限や運動を継続して行うことは容易なことではない。   Uric acid is the final metabolite of purines in humans, and is produced by the degradation of ATP and the metabolism of nucleic acids in food, and finally excreted in urine. Usually, the production and excretion of uric acid is balanced, but if the balance is lost due to an increase in production or a decrease in excretion, and the serum uric acid level exceeds 7 mg / dl, it is defined as hyperuricemia. If it continues, it is said that the risk of gout attacks is high. Hyperuricemia was once a rare disease in Japan, but the number of patients has increased year by year due to factors such as westernization of diet and increased alcohol intake, and the current number of patients is estimated to reach 9 million. ing. It has been pointed out that hyperuricemia not only causes gout but also causes gout kidneys and may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders. Treatment of hyperuricemia is mainly dietary and exercise therapy in patients without gout attacks or complications. However, it is not easy to continue caloric restriction and exercise.

また、これまでに、血清尿酸値を低下させる薬剤として、尿酸産生抑制薬のアロプリノールや、尿酸排出促進剤のベンズブロマロンなどが実用化されている。しかし、アロプリノールは腎障害を併発している例では副作用のおそれから投与に慎重を要し、尿酸排出促進薬には尿路結石などのリスクが指摘されている。したがって、血中尿酸値を降下させる作用を持ち、普段の食事に簡便にとりいれることができる食品素材があれば、痛風発作や高尿酸血症関連疾患に対する極めて有用な予防・治療法になり得る。   In addition, uric acid production inhibitor allopurinol and uric acid excretion promoting agent benzbromarone have been put to practical use as agents for lowering serum uric acid level. However, allopurinol is required to be administered with caution because it may cause side effects in patients with renal impairment, and uric acid excretion-promoting drugs have been pointed out risks such as urinary calculi. Therefore, if there is a food material that has the effect of lowering the blood uric acid level and can be easily taken into a normal meal, it can be a very useful prevention / treatment method for gout attacks and hyperuricemia-related diseases.

ところで、米胚乳に含まれるタンパク質の主要成分は、易消化性のグルテリン、グロブリン、アルブミンと、難消化性のプロラミンである。米胚乳から抽出されるタンパク質組成物を製造する方法としては、精白米や米粉に耐熱性アミラーゼを作用させ、残存するタンパク質を沈殿として回収する方法(酵素処理米タンパク質)と、精白米や米粉にアルカリ溶液を加えて抽出されるタンパク質を酸沈殿させ、これを回収する方法(アルカリ抽出米タンパク質)が公知である。栄養素としてのタンパク質利用効率は前者に比べて後者で有意に高く、タンパク質利用効率がカゼインに匹敵することが報告されている(非特許文献1)。   By the way, the main components of the protein contained in rice endosperm are easily digestible glutelin, globulin, albumin and indigestible prolamin. As a method of producing a protein composition extracted from rice endosperm, heat-resistant amylase is allowed to act on polished rice or rice flour, and the remaining protein is recovered as a precipitate (enzyme-treated rice protein), A method (alkaline-extracted rice protein) in which protein extracted by adding an alkaline solution is acid precipitated and recovered is known. It has been reported that the protein utilization efficiency as a nutrient is significantly higher in the latter than in the former, and the protein utilization efficiency is comparable to casein (Non-patent Document 1).

米からタンパク質をアルカリ抽出する工程は、米からデンプンを精製する際にタンパク質を除去する工程と類似であるために、アルカリ抽出米タンパク質はデンプン工場の排液から回収することが可能である。   Since the process of alkaline extraction of protein from rice is similar to the process of removing protein when purifying starch from rice, the alkali extracted rice protein can be recovered from the effluent of a starch factory.

本発明の目的は、血中尿酸値降下作用を持ち、日常的に摂取することができる血清尿酸低下剤、および医薬品を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a serum uric acid lowering agent and a pharmaceutical product that have a blood uric acid level lowering action and can be taken on a daily basis.

本発明者らは上記の課題を解決すべく種々の検討を重ねた結果、アルカリ抽出米タンパク質にヒトの血清尿酸値を降下させる効果があることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。   As a result of various studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that alkali-extracted rice protein has the effect of lowering human serum uric acid level, and have completed the present invention.

すなわち本発明は、米胚乳タンパク質を有効成分とする、血清尿酸低下剤である。好ましくは、米胚乳タンパク質は、米胚乳よりアルカリにて抽出後に酸で沈殿することで回収されるタンパク質を乾燥させたものである。   That is, the present invention is a serum uric acid lowering agent containing rice endosperm protein as an active ingredient. Preferably, the rice endosperm protein is obtained by drying a protein recovered by extraction from rice endosperm with an alkali and then precipitation with an acid.

さらに、本発明は上記の血清尿酸値降下作用を持つ血清尿酸低下剤を含む、医薬品である。   Furthermore, the present invention is a pharmaceutical comprising the above-described serum uric acid lowering agent having a serum uric acid level lowering action.

本発明の血清尿酸低下剤は米の食経験の豊富さから高い安全性が期待され、日常的に摂取することにより血清尿酸値を低下させることができるために、高尿酸血症や痛風の予防・治療に極めて有効である。   The serum uric acid lowering agent of the present invention is expected to be highly safe due to abundant dietary experience in rice, and since it can lower serum uric acid level by daily intake, it prevents hyperuricemia and gout・ It is extremely effective for treatment.

以下、米胚乳よりアルカリ抽出された米タンパク質を含む組成物を略して、「米胚乳タンパク質」と称する。タンパク質抽出に用いる米の品種はどのようなものであってもよいが、好ましくはジャポニカ種のうるち米である。米胚乳タンパク質は、精白米または米粉等の米胚乳部分を原料としてアルカリにより抽出することができる。精白米を用いる場合には、それをアルカリ溶液に浸漬することでタンパク質の一部が抽出される。浸漬した米を湿式磨砕等により粉砕すると、米の組織中に含まれるタンパク質も抽出されるため、回収率を高めることができる。米粉を用いる場合には、アルカリ溶液中に1時間〜1昼夜浸漬することでタンパク質が高効率で抽出される。   Hereinafter, a composition containing rice protein alkali-extracted from rice endosperm is abbreviated as “rice endosperm protein”. Any variety of rice may be used for protein extraction, but japonica-type glutinous rice is preferable. Rice endosperm protein can be extracted with alkali using rice endosperm such as polished rice or rice flour as a raw material. When using polished rice, a part of protein is extracted by immersing it in an alkaline solution. When the soaked rice is pulverized by wet grinding or the like, the protein contained in the rice tissue is also extracted, so that the recovery rate can be increased. When using rice flour, protein is extracted with high efficiency by soaking in an alkaline solution for 1 hour to 1 day.

抽出に用いるアルカリの濃度は0.1%〜2%であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.15〜0.25%である。抽出されるタンパク質溶液にはアルカリ可溶性の繊維質が多量に含まれていることから、これを目開きの細かい篩や濾布等を用いて除去することが好ましい。タンパク質溶液に塩酸等の酸を加えてpH5〜6に調整することにより、凝集するタンパク質を沈殿として回収することができる。タンパク質溶液をあらかじめ50℃程度に加熱した後に中和する場合にはpH7でもタンパク質の凝集体が得られ、またこれを80℃以上に加熱すると凝集体がさらに大きく成長することから、遠心分離を行わずとも篩やフィルタープレス等の濾過によりタンパク質の凝集体を効率良く回収することができる。回収されるタンパク質凝集体を適宜水洗し、これを気流乾燥、流動層乾燥、凍結乾燥等を用いて乾燥することで、米胚乳タンパク質を得ることができる。中和時に加熱を行うことにより、膨潤したタンパク質凝集物が得られ、この凝集物を乾燥することにより、加熱しない場合に比べて保水性や舌触りに優れた米胚乳タンパク質が得られ、より広い用途に利用することができる。   The concentration of alkali used for extraction is preferably 0.1% to 2%, more preferably 0.15 to 0.25%. Since the protein solution to be extracted contains a large amount of alkali-soluble fiber, it is preferably removed using a sieve or a filter cloth having a fine mesh. By adding an acid such as hydrochloric acid to the protein solution and adjusting to pH 5-6, the aggregated protein can be recovered as a precipitate. If the protein solution is pre-heated to about 50 ° C and then neutralized, protein aggregates can be obtained even at pH 7, and if this is heated to 80 ° C or higher, the aggregates grow even larger. At least protein aggregates can be efficiently recovered by filtration using a sieve or filter press. A rice endosperm protein can be obtained by appropriately washing the recovered protein aggregate and drying it using airflow drying, fluidized bed drying, freeze drying, or the like. By heating at the time of neutralization, swollen protein aggregates are obtained. By drying the aggregates, rice endosperm proteins having superior water retention and touch compared to the case without heating can be obtained, and can be used for a wider range of applications. Can be used.

本発明における米胚乳タンパク質は、それのみで血清尿酸値降下剤として用いてもよいが、米胚乳タンパク質を有効成分として賦形剤とともに加工して用いてもよい。   The rice endosperm protein in the present invention may be used alone as a serum uric acid lowering agent, but it may be processed with an excipient as an active ingredient.

本発明の血清尿酸値降下剤を用いる場合、その用量は、患者の年齢・体重・症状・米胚乳タンパク質の加工形態などの要因を加味して適宜決定されることが望ましい。好ましくは、1日あたり純タンパク質として0.5〜20g、さらに好ましくは3〜10gの摂取が良い。1日あたり純タンパク質として3〜10gを摂取し続けた場合、2週間〜6ヵ月程度で血清尿酸値降下効果が表れることが期待される。   In the case of using the serum uric acid level-lowering agent of the present invention, it is desirable that the dosage is appropriately determined in consideration of factors such as the age, weight, symptoms, and processed form of rice endosperm protein. Preferably, intake of 0.5 to 20 g, more preferably 3 to 10 g as pure protein per day is good. When 3 to 10 g of pure protein is continuously ingested per day, it is expected that a serum uric acid level lowering effect will appear in about 2 weeks to 6 months.

本発明の血清尿酸値降下剤を含有する医薬品(特に高尿酸血症、痛風、痛風腎、心血管、脳血管障害の1以上の治療又は予防用医薬品)を調製する際、他の尿酸産生抑制効果を持つ成分や尿酸排出促進効果を持つ成分を併せて用いても、用いなくてもよい。併せて用いる成分や混合比に特に制限はないが、それぞれの成分の有効量に対して十分な量が望ましい。なお、医薬品の形態は特に限定されないが、経口投与可能な形態であることが好ましい。   When preparing a pharmaceutical (especially one or more therapeutic or preventive pharmaceuticals for hyperuricemia, gout, gout kidney, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders) containing the serum uric acid lowering agent of the present invention, other uric acid production suppression A component having an effect and a component having an effect of promoting uric acid excretion may or may not be used together. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the component and mixing ratio used together, A sufficient quantity is desirable with respect to the effective amount of each component. The form of the drug is not particularly limited, but is preferably a form that can be administered orally.

<実施例1> 臨床試験用米胚乳タンパク質の調製と試験食製造
25kgのコシヒカリ米粉(新潟製粉株式会社より購入)を100Lの0.2%水酸化ナトリウム溶液に懸濁し、一夜放置した。コクサン社製遠心分離機「H−130I」に上記懸濁液を約5L/分の流速で給液した。回転数は1,400rpmとした。流出する遠心上清を集め、これを再度同一条件にて遠心分離を行うことにより澱粉粒が除去されたタンパク質抽出液を得た。この抽出液を285メッシュ(目開き53μm)の篩を通過させることにより繊維質を除去した。この液を50℃に加熱し、6N塩酸を添加してpHを7.0に調整した。この液を80℃で30分保温することによりタンパク質の凝集体を大きく成長させ、これを冷却した後に285メッシュの篩を用いて篩上としてタンパク質を回収した。タンパク質を約50Lの水に懸濁して同様の篩処理を行い、この操作を3回繰り返してタンパク質の水洗を行った。得られた湿タンパク質は絞り袋に入れて圧搾することにより水分を除去し、その後凍結乾燥した。同様の操作を10回反復し、約7.5kgの米胚乳タンパク質標品を得た。
Example 1 Preparation of Rice Endosperm Protein for Clinical Test and Test Food Production 25 kg of Koshihikari rice flour (purchased from Niigata Flour Milling Co., Ltd.) was suspended in 100 L of 0.2% sodium hydroxide solution and left overnight. The suspension was supplied to a centrifuge “H-130I” manufactured by Kokusan Co., Ltd. at a flow rate of about 5 L / min. The rotation speed was 1,400 rpm. The centrifugal supernatant flowing out was collected and centrifuged again under the same conditions to obtain a protein extract from which the starch granules were removed. The extract was passed through a 285 mesh (aperture 53 μm) sieve to remove the fibrous material. This solution was heated to 50 ° C., and 6N hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 7.0. The solution was incubated at 80 ° C. for 30 minutes to grow a large protein aggregate. After cooling this, the protein was recovered on a sieve using a 285 mesh sieve. The protein was suspended in about 50 L of water and subjected to the same sieving treatment, and this operation was repeated three times to wash the protein with water. The obtained wet protein was squeezed into a squeezed bag to remove moisture, and then freeze-dried. The same operation was repeated 10 times to obtain about 7.5 kg of rice endosperm protein preparation.

倫理委員会の承認のもとでBMI 25kg/m以上の肥満者(メタボリックシンドロームを呈する者を含む)を対象に、米胚乳タンパク質を摂取させる臨床試験を実施した。臨床試験は8週間のクロスオーバー形式とし、被験者は2群に分けられ、米胚乳タンパク質配合の試験食または米胚乳タンパク質をカゼインに置き換えた対照試験食を摂取した。各試験食の配合は実施例2にて示された通りであり、前半4週間と後半4週間で、摂取する試験食は入れ替えられた。米胚乳タンパク質配合およびカゼイン配合の試験食それぞれの組成を表1に示す。試験食は11gずつ(米胚乳タンパク質純品としては5g)アルミ包材に充填し、これを1日2回水または湯に溶いて飲用させた。試験期間中は通常の食生活を継続するように指導し、試験食は通常摂取している食品に追加する形とした。
<Example 3>
Under the approval of the Ethics Committee, a clinical trial was conducted in which rice endosperm protein was ingested in obese subjects (including those exhibiting metabolic syndrome) with a BMI of 25 kg / m 2 or more. The clinical study was in an 8-week crossover format, and the subjects were divided into two groups and received a test meal containing rice endosperm protein or a control test meal in which rice endosperm protein was replaced with casein. The composition of each test meal was as shown in Example 2, and the test meals to be ingested were switched between the first 4 weeks and the latter 4 weeks. Table 1 shows the composition of each of the test meals containing rice endosperm protein and casein. Each 11 g of the test meal (5 g as a rice endosperm protein pure product) was filled in an aluminum wrapping material, and this was dissolved in water or hot water twice a day for drinking. Instructions were given to continue the normal diet during the test period, and the test meal was added to the foods normally consumed.

選択基準を満たし、除外基準に該当しない男女24名が被験者となり、12名ずつ2群に分けられた。被験者のうち18名(各群9名ずつ)が試験を完遂し、解析の対象になった。
Subjects were those who met the following criteria.
(I) Selection criteria 1) BMI 25kg / m 2 or more 2) Person who understands the purpose (including the use of data) and has obtained document consent (regardless of gender)
(II) Exclusion Criteria 1) Persons with serious illness in heart, kidney, liver, etc. 2) Persons with severe infections, before and after surgery, severe trauma 3) Persons with food allergies 4) Other doctors in charge However, 24 men and women who met the criteria for selecting people who were inappropriate for research participation due to medical reasons and did not meet the exclusion criteria were divided into two groups of 12 people. Of the subjects, 18 (9 in each group) completed the study and were analyzed.

試験開始時、試験食摂取開始後4週目、8週目の合計3回、採血を行い血清尿酸値、脂質代謝マーカー、腎機能マーカーの値を調べた。表2に結果を記載した通り、クロスオーバー試験の前半期間(4週間)において、米胚乳タンパク質摂取群では血清尿酸値の低下傾向(−0.40mg/dL)が認められた。一方で、カゼイン摂取群では血清尿酸値に上昇傾向(+0.12mg/dL)がみられた。初期値から4週間目の血清尿酸値の変化量を両群で比較すると、両側5%の水準で有意な差があった。本臨床試験に参加した被験者の血清尿酸値の平均は6.38mg/dLであり、高尿酸血症の基準値である7.0mg/dLを下回っている。それにもかかわらず血清尿酸値の低下傾向がみられたことから、米胚乳タンパク質は高尿酸血症に対して治癒的な効果だけでなく予防的な効果をも持つことが示唆された。   At the start of the test, blood was collected for a total of 3 times in the 4th and 8th weeks after the start of test food intake, and the values of serum uric acid level, lipid metabolism marker, and renal function marker were examined. As shown in Table 2, in the first half period (4 weeks) of the crossover test, a decrease in serum uric acid level (−0.40 mg / dL) was observed in the rice endosperm protein intake group. On the other hand, in the casein intake group, the serum uric acid level showed an increasing tendency (+0.12 mg / dL). When the amount of change in serum uric acid level after 4 weeks from the initial value was compared between the two groups, there was a significant difference at the 5% level on both sides. The average serum uric acid level of subjects who participated in this clinical study was 6.38 mg / dL, which is lower than the standard value for hyperuricemia of 7.0 mg / dL. Nonetheless, a tendency to decrease serum uric acid levels was suggested, suggesting that rice endosperm protein has a preventive effect as well as a curative effect on hyperuricemia.

倫理委員会の承認のもとで、維持透析患者9名(男性3名・女性6名)を対象に米胚乳タンパク質を摂取させる臨床試験を実施した。各被験者は、米胚乳タンパク質を含む試験食(実施例2)を2週間に亘り、1日1回水または湯に溶いて飲用した。試験期間中は通常の食生活を継続するように指導し、試験食は通常摂取している食品に追加する形で摂取させた。
<Example 4>
Under the approval of the Ethics Committee, a clinical trial was conducted to ingest rice endosperm protein in 9 maintenance dialysis patients (3 men and 6 women). Each subject drank the test meal (Example 2) containing rice endosperm protein in water or hot water once a day for 2 weeks. During the study period, instruction was given to continue the normal diet, and the test meal was added in addition to the food that was normally consumed.

被験者として、全身状態が安定した低栄養傾向のある成人の維持血液透析患者をリクルートした。選択基準は、血清アルブミン値が3.8mg/dl以下を示して低栄養傾向が認められ、かつ本臨床試験の趣旨を理解し文書による同意が得られた者(性別不問)であること、にした。心臓、肝臓等に重篤な疾患のある者、重症感染症、手術前後、重篤な外傷のある者、食物アレルギーを有する者、その他、担当医が研究参画に不適切と判断した者は除外した。   As subjects, we recruited adult maintenance hemodialysis patients with stable general condition and tending to undernutrition. The criteria for selection are those with a serum albumin level of 3.8 mg / dl or less, a tendency toward malnutrition, and an understanding of the purpose of this clinical trial and written consent (gender-independent). did. Excludes persons with serious diseases in the heart, liver, etc., severe infections, before and after surgery, persons with severe trauma, persons with food allergies, and other persons judged inappropriate by the attending physician. did.

試験開始時および米胚乳タンパク質摂取2週間目に採取した血液から、血清尿酸値を測定した。その結果を表3に示す。なお、2番の被験者は試験期間中の感冒により試験食を5日間摂取しなかったため、解析対象からは除外し、9名での解析を行った。摂取2週間目の血清尿酸値の平均値を開始時の数値と比較すると、8.00mg/dLから7.09mg/dLに低下しており、この差は両側5%の水準で有意であった。   Serum uric acid levels were measured from blood collected at the start of the test and 2 weeks after the intake of rice endosperm protein. The results are shown in Table 3. In addition, since the 2nd test subject did not ingest the test meal for 5 days due to the common cold during the test period, the test subjects were excluded from the analysis target and analyzed by 9 subjects. When the mean value of serum uric acid at the second week after ingestion was compared with the value at the start, it decreased from 8.00 mg / dL to 7.09 mg / dL, and this difference was significant at the 5% level on both sides. .

実施例3と比較して、本例では米胚乳タンパク質の摂取量、摂取期間ともに少ないにもかかわらず、本例の方が尿酸値の低下量が平均0.91mg/dLと顕著な結果となった。これは、米胚乳タンパク質の尿酸値低下効果は、尿酸値が高い事例でより顕著にあらわれることを示唆するものである。また、本試験の被験者は維持透析患者であるため、尿による尿酸の排出が起こらない。したがって、米胚乳タンパク質の血清尿酸値低下効果には、尿酸の尿中への排出促進以外のメカニズムが働いていることが示唆された。   Compared to Example 3, in this example, although the amount of rice endosperm protein intake and the intake period were both small, the decrease in the uric acid level was 0.91 mg / dL on average in this example. It was. This suggests that the effect of lowering the uric acid level of rice endosperm protein appears more prominently in cases where the uric acid level is high. Moreover, since the test subject is a maintenance dialysis patient, uric acid excretion by urine does not occur. Therefore, it was suggested that a mechanism other than the promotion of uric acid excretion into urine is acting on the serum uric acid level lowering effect of rice endosperm protein.
