【0003】
そこで内毒素の関与する歯周疾患の予防、治療の従来技術として、マクロライド系抗生物質による歯周組織再生の前処置剤(特開平7−267867号公報)、オクタデシルプロピルジメチルアンモニウム固定の水不溶性固体による内毒素吸着除去剤(特開平8−26954号公報)が提案されている。
【0004】
しかしながら、これらの技術を歯周疾患の予防、治療に応用するには、耐性菌の出現、副作用および歯牙へのステイン付着等の問題があった。従って、細菌内毒素を中和し得るより有効な技術の開発が望まれていた。
【0005】
一方、歯周病原因菌の付着を抑制、防止する代表薬剤としてクロルヘキシジンがあるが、歯牙への着色問題や味覚への影響があった(縁下プラークの抑制法、クインテッセンス出版株式会社発行、1991年9月30日)。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a periodontal disease bacterial endotoxin neutralizing agent, a periodontal disease causative bacteria adhesion inhibitor, and further to neutralize periodontal disease bacterial endotoxin and to inhibit the adhesion of periodontal disease causative bacteria. yo Ri to an effective oral composition for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
As pathogenic factors for periodontal diseases, adhesion factors (pilus, lectin-like ligand), endotoxin, tissue destructive enzymes (collagenase, trypsin-like enzyme), leukocyte resistance factor (capsule, superoxide desmutase, leukotriene) and Examples include cytotoxic metabolites (hydrogen sulfide, fatty acids). Among them, bacterial endotoxins have been confirmed to cause inflammation or periodontal bone resorption directly or indirectly against periodontal tissue.
[0003]
Therefore, as a conventional technique for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases involving endotoxin, a pretreatment agent for periodontal tissue regeneration with macrolide antibiotics (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-267867), water-insoluble with octadecylpropyldimethylammonium fixation A solid endotoxin adsorption / removal agent (JP-A-8-26954) has been proposed.
[0004]
However, when these techniques are applied to the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases, there have been problems such as the appearance of resistant bacteria, side effects, and adhesion of stains to teeth. Therefore, development of a more effective technique capable of neutralizing bacterial endotoxin has been desired.
[0005]
On the other hand, chlorhexidine is a representative agent for suppressing and preventing periodontal disease-causing bacteria, but there was a coloring problem on the teeth and an effect on taste (publishing method of submarine plaque, published by Quintessence Publishing Co., Ltd., 1991). September 30th).
[0006]
Thus, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, has an excellent inhibitory effect on bacterial endotoxin activity, can also be expected to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial teeth and mucous membranes, and can be used for a long time. It is an object to provide a safe periodontal disease bacterial endotoxin neutralizing agent, a periodontal disease causative agent inhibitor and an oral composition.
[0007]
Means for Solving the Problem and Embodiment of the Invention
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventor has (I) one or more selected from lactoferrin, a lactoferrin degradation product and a lactoferrin-related peptide, and (II) a component having 1 to 3 constituent amino acids. As shown in the experimental examples to be described later, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fuzobacterium um The ability to effectively neutralize endotoxins of peri-bacterial bacteria; and Actinomyces naeslundii It was found that an oral composition that can be applied to the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases can be obtained from the fact that the adhesion of periodontal disease-causing bacteria such as
[0008]
Accordingly, the present invention provides (I) one or more selected from lactoferrin, lactoferrin degradation products and lactoferrin-related peptides, and (II) one or two selected from glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, leucine, histidine and proline. Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, consisting of more than one kind of amino acid and consisting of an amino acid or peptide component having 1 to 3 constituent amino acids Periodontal bacterial endotoxin neutralizer and actinomyces selected from nucleatum (Fusobacterium nucleatum) Esurandei periodontal disease-causing bacteria adhesion inhibitor (Actinomyces naeslundii), the (I) a solid component and from 0.001 to 3% by solids weight of the total composition of component (II) of the total composition 0.001 to 5% by weight, neutralization of periodontal disease bacterial endotoxin of the specific bacteria and (I) / (II) in the range of 0.0001 to 10 (molar ratio) Provided is an oral composition characterized in that it is contained as an active ingredient for inhibiting periodontal disease-causing adhesion.
[0009]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described. The lactoferrin used in the present invention is widely distributed in the body of an animal, and the biological functions of lactoferrin have antibacterial action, antiviral action, biological defense action and endotoxin neutralizing action, and mucin Patent applications have been filed for production promoters (JP-A-9-12473), novel pharmaceutical compositions (JP-A-8-217693), and the like.
[0010]
Examples of the resources of the lactoferrin-related components provided in the present invention include products from mammalian dairy cows, products from plants (tomatoes, rice, tobacco), products from bran mold, human forms produced in milk Either lactoferrin or a synthetic product may be used. The lactoferrin provided in the present invention is particularly preferably derived from bovine.
[0011]
The lactoferrin degradation product provided in the present invention refers to an acid degradation product and a pepsin degradation product, and has the same biological function as lactoferrin. Antibacterial agent containing lactoferric acid hydrolyzate as an active ingredient and cosmetics containing the same (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-279310), antibacterial agent and method for treating articles using this antibacterial agent (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-320067) (Patent Publication) etc. have been applied for patents. The lactoferrin degradation product used in the present invention is particularly preferably an acid degradation product.

[0013]
The blending amount of lactoferrin, lactoferrin degradation product and lactoferrin-related peptide (I) should be 0.001 to 3% of the whole oral composition (solid content weight, the same applies hereinafter), particularly 0.01 to 1.5%. Is preferred. When it is less than 0.001%, when combined with an amino acid or a peptide consisting of 2 to 3 amino acids, endotoxin in oral saliva and gingival crevicular fluid cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and periodontal disease Inhibition of causative bacteria on teeth and mucous membranes is not sufficient. If it exceeds 3%, the effect reaches a steady state, and there is a problem in solubility and stability in the preparation.
[0014]
The component (II) having 1 to 3 constituent amino acids provided in the present invention consists of one or more amino acids selected from glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, leucine, histidine and proline, and L -Aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, glycine, L-alanine, L-leucine, L-histidine, L-proline, L-leucyl-L-alanine, DL-alanyl-DL-alanine, glycyl-L-leucine, glycyl- L-proline, glycyl-glycine, DL-alanyl-DL-norvaline, L-leucyl-glycyl-glycine, glycyl-glycyl-L-histidine, glycyl-glycyl-glycine, etc., especially L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid , L-Leucyl-L-alanine, DL-alanyl-DL-ara Emissions and L- leucyl - glycyl - glycine is preferred as a blending component.
[0015]
The blending amount (II) of these components is preferably 0.001 to 5%, particularly 0.01 to 3% of the whole oral composition. If it is less than 0.001%, endotoxin in oral saliva and gingival crevicular fluid cannot be sufficiently suppressed when combined with lactoferrin, and adhesion of periodontal disease-causing bacteria to teeth and mucous membranes is suppressed. I can't expect. If it exceeds 5%, the effect reaches a steady state, and there is a problem in solubility and stability in the preparation.
[0016]
The blending ratio (molar ratio) of (I) / (II) is preferably 0.0001-10. If it is less than 10 −5, it is difficult to produce a synergistic effect more than expected, and if it exceeds 1000, the synergistic effect reaches a steady state.
[0017]
In the composition for oral cavity of the present invention, components other than those described above, which are used in ordinary oral compositions, can be used, and the amount of these components added is within a range that does not hinder the effects of the present invention.

After the degradation product was cooled, the pH was adjusted to near neutral with 2N sodium hydroxide solution, dialyzed against purified water for 3 days, and the dialyzate was freeze-dried to obtain a lactoferric acid hydrolyzate.
[0024]
[Preparation Example 3] The lactoferrin peptide intended for preparation of the lactoferrin peptide can be isolated from the lactoferrin hydrolyzate obtained in Preparation Examples 1 and 2 using a conventional liquid chromatography method. For example, it can be isolated by fractionating and eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile by high performance liquid chromatography using TSK gel ODS120T (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) (see JP-A-5-320067).
As other methods, the amino acid sequence of the peptide obtained as described above is determined by a known method (such as a method using a gas phase sequencer), and a peptide having those amino acid sequences is determined by a known method (peptide automatic synthesizer). Etc.) to prepare the target peptide (eg, SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2).

[Experimental Example 1] In vitro endotoxin activity inhibition test An in vitro endotoxin activity inhibition test was performed by the following method, using a modified endospace method (Seikagaku Corporation).
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Y4, Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 and Fusobacterium nucleatum endotoxin (hereinafter abbreviated as Aa LPS, Pg LPS, and Fn LPS, respectively) 1 μg / 1 ml of various drugs (1 × 10 −4 M) as shown in Tables 1 to 4 after incubation at 37 ° C. for 30 minutes, diluted so that each LPS becomes 100 pg / ml, and endotoxin by the end specie method The activity inhibition rate was measured. The results are shown in Tables 1-4. In addition, the endotoxin activity inhibition rate in the table was calculated by the following formula.
Endotoxin activity inhibition rate (%) = (A−B) / A × 100
A = (ABS of endotoxin alone) − (ABS of distilled water for injection)
B = ((Drug + Endotoxin ABS) − (ABS of distilled water for injection)
ABS: Absorbance at 545 nm
From the results of Tables 1 to 4, the combination of (I) one or more selected from lactoferrin, a lactoferrin degradation product and a lactoferrin-related peptide and (II) a component having 1 to 3 constituent amino acids is in vitro. It was confirmed that the effect of suppressing endotoxin activity is excellent.
