【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明について詳しく説明する。
クサソテツ(別名:コゴミ)はオシダ科の多年草のシダで、北半球の温帯地域に広く分布しており、日本では北海道、本州、四国、九州の日当たりのよい原野の湿った場所に群生する。また、早春の融雪後まもなく芽を出した葉先がまいた状態の若い葉は食用となる。

クサソテツの健康機能についてはこれまで報告されていなかったが、本発明者らはクサソテツが強いラジカル消去活性を有することを見出した。クサソテツの抽出液は非常に強いラジカル消去活性を示すことから、この活性成分を明らかにすべく、鋭意検討を重ね、クサソテツに含まれる活性成分を単離し、その化学構造を明らかにすることに成功した。その結果クロロゲン酸、及び、L-O-カフェオイルホモセリンが活性の主成分であると同定した。その一つのL-O-カフェオイルホモセリンは文献未記載の新規な化合物であり、本発明者らが新たに見出したものである。
【0010】

【0016】
また、さらに精製する場合には、カラムクロマトグラフィー等の通常の分離精製手段を適宜組み合わせて、上述の抽出液から一般式(I)で表される化合物を単離することができる。例えば、得られた抽出液をODSのカラムに通し、メタノールの濃度勾配をかけて溶出させて紫外部吸収を指標にポリフェノールの画分を得る。この画分に含まれる成分を分取高速液体クロマトグラフィー(HPLC)で分離後、再結晶して単一の純粋な一般式(I)で表される化合物を得る。
【0017】

(実施例3)クサソテツから単離した本発明の化合物のラジカル消去活性試験
上記実施例1で得られた化合物について、DPPH(ジフェニルピクリルヒドラジル)ラジカル消去法、及び、化学発光法によるラジカル消去活性試験を行った。2つの原理の異なる方法を組み合わせることにより、より正確なラジカル消去活性を知ることができるが、他の測定法を用いることもできる。
▲1▼ DPPHラジカル消去法
クサソテツより単離した本発明の化合物の10mM/DMSO 溶液を調製し、これを更に1.78倍ずつ0.01mMまでDMSOを用いて希釈していく。この希釈したサンプルを96穴プレートに15μlづつ分注し、その後200μMのDPPH/50%エタノール水溶液を175μl分注し、5分間室温で撹拌し、その後550nmにおける吸光度を測定する。
活性は、サンプルがDPPHの550nmの吸光度を、無添加の時に対し50%にまで減少させるときのサンプルの濃度を没食子酸の時に相当する濃度で示す。
【0026】
▲2▼ 化学発光法
DPPHラジカル消去法と同じく、クサソテツより単離した本発明の化合物の10mM/DMSO 溶液を調製し、これを更に1.78倍ずつ0.01mMまでDMSOを用いて希釈していく。この希釈したサンプルを96穴プレートに10μlづつ分注し、その後、100μlのキサンチン、MCLA(2-メチル-6-[4-メトキシフェニル]-3,7-ジハイドロイミダゾ[1,2-a]ピラジン-3-オン)溶液と、100μlのキサンチンオキシダーゼ溶液を添加する。キサンチンとキサンチンオキシダーゼにより、生体内で発生する活性酸素のひとつのスーパーオキサイドアニオンを産生させ、これに特異的な発色試薬であるMCLAにより発色させ、この発光強度を測定する。活性はサンプルが無添加の時の発光強度に対し、50%にまで減少させるときのサンプルの濃度をスーパーオキサイドアニオンジスムターゼ(SOD)の時に相当する活性で示す。

【0028】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に係る本発明により、新規カフェオイルホモセリンが提供される。この新規カフェオイルホモセリンは、アミノ酸のひとつであるホモセリンのγ水酸基とカフェ酸のカルボキシル基がエステル結合した化合物である。この新規カフェオイルホモセリンはその構造から非常に親水性が高い。これまで知られているポリフェノール系の抗酸化剤は疎水性が高いものが多く、そのため親水性の高い水溶性抗酸化剤が望まれており、本発明の新規カフェオイルホモセリンはその点で注目される。
【0029】
請求項1記載のカフェオイルホモセリンは、請求項2に係る本発明のように、抗酸化剤として有用であり、特に古くから食用とされているクサソテツ(コゴミ)に比較的多量に含まれる成分であるため、食品用の抗酸化剤として用いたときにも安全性の上で問題がない。
【0030】
また、本発明により、水溶性で強力なラジカル消去活性を有する一般式(I)で表される化合物を有効成分として含有するラジカル消去剤を提供できる。クサソテツの水溶性抽出液又は請求項1記載のカフェオイルホモセリンを食品に添加することにより、食品中の油脂エマルジョンなどの酸化が抑制される。すなわち、食品中の油脂エマルジョンにおいて不飽和脂肪酸の酸化などが抑制される。また、その食品摂取後は、体内で抗酸化性を発揮することが期待される。
【0031】
さらに、本発明によりクサソテツから一般式(I)で表される化合物を容易に製造する方法を提供できる。クサソテツ(コゴミ)は、主に東北地方を代表する山菜として食されており、今までは特にその食品としての機能は知られていなかったが、本発明により、抗酸化性を有するカフェオイルホモセリンの原料としての利用も期待できる。

(Example 1) Isolation of the compound of the present invention from Kusotatsu Separation and purification were carried out using the radical scavenging activity of Kusaotsutsu as an index.
Methanol was added to 2 kg of Kusotatsu and homogenized. The filtrate was suction filtered with a filter paper, and the filtrate was centrifuged (5000 rpm × 10 min) to obtain about 10 L of a supernatant. This was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove methanol. The resulting concentrate is further centrifuged, the supernatant is filtered, and the filtrate is ODS (INERTSIL PREP-ODS, 20 × 250mm, GL Sciences) column chromatography (flow rate 7 ml / min, water / methanol 10/90). Elution was performed with a linear concentration gradient of ˜0 / 100 (40 min). Fractionation was performed 14 ml at a time, and radical scavenging tests were performed on each fraction. Of the two fractions in which activity was observed, the peak eluted in the latter half was chlorogenic acid, which is the main component of another radical scavenging activity of Kusotatsu. The active peak eluted in the first half was further passed through a column, and it was confirmed that it became a single peak by ultraviolet absorption at 280 nm, and it was recrystallized to obtain white crystals.

(Example 3) Radical scavenging activity test of the compound of the present invention isolated from Kusotatsu The compound obtained in Example 1 above was subjected to radical elimination by DPPH (diphenylpicrylhydrazyl) radical and chemiluminescence. An activity test was performed. A more accurate radical scavenging activity can be known by combining two methods having different principles, but other measurement methods can also be used.
(1) DPPH radical scavenging method A 10 mM / DMSO solution of the compound of the present invention isolated from Kusotatsu is prepared, and this is further diluted 1.78 times to 0.01 mM with DMSO. Dispense 15 μl of this diluted sample into a 96-well plate, then dispense 175 μl of 200 μM DPPH / 50% ethanol aqueous solution, stir for 5 minutes at room temperature, and then measure the absorbance at 550 nm.
The activity indicates the concentration of the sample when the absorbance of DPPH at 550 nm is reduced to 50% with respect to the case of no addition at a concentration corresponding to that of gallic acid.
[0026]
(2) Chemiluminescence method
As in the DPPH radical scavenging method, a 10 mM / DMSO solution of the compound of the present invention isolated from Kusotatsu is prepared, and this is further diluted 1.78 times to 0.01 mM with DMSO. Dispense 10 μl of this diluted sample into a 96-well plate, and then add 100 μl of xanthine, MCLA (2-methyl-6- [4-methoxyphenyl] -3,7-dihydroimidazo [1,2-a] Add pyrazin-3-one) solution and 100 μl xanthine oxidase solution. One superoxide anion of active oxygen generated in the living body is produced by xanthine and xanthine oxidase, and the color is developed by MCLA, which is a specific coloring reagent, and the luminescence intensity is measured. The activity indicates the concentration of the sample when it is reduced to 50% with respect to the luminescence intensity when the sample is not added, as the activity corresponding to that of superoxide anion dismutase (SOD).
[0027]
As a result, the compound obtained in Example 1 above, that is, L-O-caffeoyl homoserine of the present invention represented by the general formula (I) is a chlorogenic acid, rutin, and caffeine known as natural radical scavengers. It was found to have a radical scavenging activity equivalent to or better than acid.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention according to claim 1 provides novel caffeoyl homoserine. This novel caffeoyl homoserine is a compound in which the γ hydroxyl group of homoserine, which is one of amino acids, and the carboxyl group of caffeic acid are ester-bonded. This novel caffeoyl homoserine is very hydrophilic due to its structure. Many of the known polyphenol antioxidants have high hydrophobicity, and therefore water-soluble antioxidants with high hydrophilicity are desired, and the novel caffeoyl homoserine of the present invention has attracted attention in that respect. The
[0029]
Caffeoyl homoserine according to claim 1 is useful as an antioxidant as in the present invention according to claim 2, and is a component that is contained in a relatively large amount in Kusasotetsu (kogomi), which has been used for a long time. Therefore, there is no problem in safety when used as an antioxidant for food.
[0030]
Moreover, the present invention can provide a radical scavenger containing, as an active ingredient, a compound represented by the general formula (I) having water-soluble and strong radical scavenging activity. By adding the water-soluble extract of Kusotatsu or the caffeoyl homoserine according to claim 1 to the food, oxidation of the fat emulsion and the like in the food is suppressed. That is, the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and the like is suppressed in the fat and oil emulsion in food. In addition, after taking the food, it is expected to exhibit antioxidant properties in the body.
[0031]
Furthermore, the present invention can provide a method for easily producing a compound represented by the general formula (I) from Kusotatsu. Kusotatsu (kogomi) is eaten mainly as a wild vegetable representing the Tohoku region, and until now, its function as a food was not particularly known. However, according to the present invention, caffeoyl homoserine having antioxidant properties is known. Use as a raw material can also be expected.
