【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明者は、フェルラ酸をH2O2の存在下、西洋ワサビペルオキシダーゼ等の酵素、やラジカル重合開始剤で脱水素重合させてフェルラ酸重合体を得た。 研究の結果、このフェルラ酸重合体が、哺乳動物細胞サイクリックAMP濃度上昇作用あるいはサイクリックAMPホスホジエステラーゼ阻害作用を有することを見いだし、本発明を完成させるに至った。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
リグニンは、セルロース、ヘミセルロースとともに、木材の主要成分として、自然界に最も豊富に存在する有機物質の一つである。しかし、パルプ生産時に副生される蒸解溶出液を原料として生産されるリグニンスルホン酸が、主に工業用分散剤として利用されているにすぎない未利用の天然資源である。
また、リグニンは穀類のフスマなどのほか、子嚢菌類、担子菌類からも抽出することが可能であり、豊富な天然有機物質の有効利用は大きな課題であった。また、ブナシメジなどはオガクズなどを主成分とする培地で人工栽培されているが、収穫後の培地の有効利用が課題であった。
一方、松かさ、各種のキノコの菌糸などの抽出液のリグニン画分に抗HIV-1活性のあることが知られている。リグニン様物質については他に末梢血単核細胞によるサイトカインの産生促進、マクロファージの活性化、培養細胞系でのインフルエンザウイルスや単純ヘルペスウイルスのプラーク形成抑制などの生理活性が報告されている。更に、リグニンの構成成分であるp-クマル酸、フェルラ酸、カフェー酸をH2O2の存在下、西洋ワサビペルオキシダーゼで脱水素重合させた高分子の合成リグニンも抗HIV-1活性を有することが確認されている(日本臨床, Vol.51, p.127 (1993))。しかし、これらは未だ、実用化されておらず、血管内皮細胞に働きサイクリックAMP濃度を上昇させるなどの報告はされていない。
【0003】
サイクリックAMP(サイクリックアデノシン3', 5'- 一リン酸、環状AMP、cAMP)は多くのホルモンや神経伝達物質の情報を細胞内の標的分子に伝えるセカンドメッセンジャーであり、細胞膜に存在するアデニル酸シクラーゼによって、ATPから合成される。サイクリックAMPは細菌や動物界に広く存在する。高等動物では、各種のホルモンが受容体・G蛋白質・アデニル酸シクラーゼを活性化し、サイクリックAMPの産生を促進する。動物におけるサイクリックAMPの作用点はサイクリックAMP依存性プロテインキナーゼ(Aキナーゼ)であり、Aキナーゼは細胞内の多くの蛋白質を基質とするため、サイクリックAMPは細胞の多彩な機能を調節する。例えば、Aキナーゼは転写因子CREB(サイクリックAMP応答配列結合蛋白質)をリン酸化し、リン酸化されたCREBがCRE(サイクリックAMP応答配列)に結合し遺伝子の転写活性を制御することが知られている。
このような機能を有するサイクリックAMPはサイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼによって5'-AMPに分解される。サイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼはアデニル酸シクラーゼとともに、細胞内のサイクリックAMPの量的水準を調節していると考えられている。サイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼは脳、肺、肝臓、心臓など種々の組織中に存在し、カルモジュリン(活性化因子)に対する結合性、基質に対する親和性などが異なる数種類の酵素が存在する。
このように、アデニル酸シクラーゼ、サイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼなどの活性を制御することにより、サイクリックAMPの濃度を調節することにより、様々な生体機能を調節することが可能と考えられる。
例えば、肺の炎症過程では、体液性因子が血管内皮細胞に働き、細胞間の隙間から血液中の蛋白質性の液が間質に入り込みやすくなり、浮腫をもたらす。血管内皮細胞のサイクリックAMP濃度上昇はこのような内皮透過性を抑制することが報告されている(Am. J. Physiol., Vol.275, p.L203 (1998))。
また、サイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼを阻害する物質としてはテオフィリンなどプリンアルカロイド系のものが多く報告されているが、リグニン関連物質にそのような活性は報告されていない。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、天然に豊富に存在するリグニンを医薬品あるいは特定保健用食品素材として有効利用、高度利用することを目的として、動物細胞を用いて様々な生理活性を評価した結果、フェルラ酸の重合体に動物細胞のサイクリックAMP濃度を上昇させる作用あるいはサイクリックヌクレオチドホスホジエステラーゼ阻害作用のあることが判明し、本発明に至った。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present inventor obtained a ferulic acid polymer by dehydrogenating the ferulic acid with an enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase or a radical polymerization initiator in the presence of H 2 O 2 . As a result of research, it has been found that this ferulic acid polymer has an action of increasing the cyclic AMP concentration of mammalian cells or an inhibitory action of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, and has completed the present invention.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Lignin, along with cellulose and hemicellulose, is one of the most abundant organic substances in nature as a major component of wood. However, lignin sulfonic acid produced using the cooking eluate produced as a by-product during pulp production as a raw material is an unused natural resource that is mainly used as an industrial dispersant.
In addition to cereal bran, lignin can be extracted from ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, and the effective use of abundant natural organic substances has been a major issue. In addition, bunashimeji and the like are artificially cultivated in a medium mainly composed of sawdust and the like, but effective utilization of the medium after harvesting has been a problem.
On the other hand, it is known that lignin fractions of extracts such as pine cones and various mushroom mycelia have anti-HIV-1 activity. Other lignin-like substances have been reported to have physiological activities such as promotion of cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells, activation of macrophages, and suppression of plaque formation of influenza virus and herpes simplex virus in cultured cell systems. Furthermore, synthetic lignin, which is a polymer obtained by dehydrogenative polymerization of p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and caffeic acid, which are constituents of lignin, with horseradish peroxidase in the presence of H 2 O 2 also has anti-HIV-1 activity. Has been confirmed (Japan Clinical, Vol.51, p.127 (1993)). However, these have not yet been put into practical use, and no reports have been made on working on vascular endothelial cells and increasing the cyclic AMP concentration.
[0003]
Cyclic AMP (cyclic adenosine 3 ', 5'-monophosphate, cyclic AMP, cAMP) is a second messenger that conveys information on many hormones and neurotransmitters to target molecules in the cell, adenyl present in the cell membrane Synthesized from ATP by acid cyclase. Cyclic AMP is widely present in the bacteria and animal kingdoms. In higher animals, various hormones activate receptors, G proteins, and adenylate cyclase to promote cyclic AMP production. Cyclic AMP regulates a variety of cellular functions because cyclic AMP acts in animals as a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A kinase). A kinase uses many intracellular proteins as substrates. . For example, A kinase phosphorylates the transcription factor CREB (cyclic AMP response element binding protein), and phosphorylated CREB binds to CRE (cyclic AMP response element) to control gene transcriptional activity. ing.
Cyclic AMP having such a function is decomposed into 5′-AMP by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, together with adenylate cyclase, is thought to regulate the quantitative level of cyclic AMP in cells. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases are present in various tissues such as brain, lung, liver, heart and the like, and there are several types of enzymes that have different binding properties to calmodulin (activator), affinity for substrates, and the like.
Thus, it is considered that various biological functions can be adjusted by adjusting the concentration of cyclic AMP by controlling the activities of adenylate cyclase, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and the like.
For example, in the pulmonary inflammation process, humoral factors act on vascular endothelial cells, and proteinous fluid in the blood tends to enter the interstitium from the gaps between the cells, resulting in edema. It has been reported that an increase in cyclic AMP concentration in vascular endothelial cells suppresses such endothelial permeability (Am. J. Physiol., Vol. 275, p.L203 (1998)).
As substances that inhibit cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, many purine alkaloids such as theophylline have been reported, but no such activity has been reported for lignin-related substances.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of evaluating various physiological activities using animal cells for the purpose of effective use and advanced utilization of lignin, which is abundant in nature, as a drug or food material for specified health use, The polymer was found to have an effect of increasing the cyclic AMP concentration of animal cells or an inhibitory effect on cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, leading to the present invention.
That is, the present invention relates to (a) a polymer of ferulic acid having an action of increasing cyclic AMP concentration in mammalian cells, and (b) a polymer of ferulic acid having an inhibitory action of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, respectively. And use as a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0005]
[Embodiments of the Invention]
The ferulic acid polymer according to the present invention can be synthesized by dehydrogenating and polymerizing ferulic acid with horseradish peroxidase in the presence of H 2 O 2 . Dehydrogenation polymerization with peroxidase can be carried out, for example, by the method described in Chem. Pharm. Bull. Vol. 39, p.950 (1991). In addition to horseradish peroxidase, enzymes such as laccase can be used.
Alternatively, p-coumaric acid can be dehydrogenated using a radical polymerization initiator such as manganese tris (acetylacetonate), Fenton reagent, trichlorotrivalent vanadium, and the like.
[0006]
Next, the case where the ferulic acid in the present invention is enzymatically synthesized to obtain a water-soluble lignin-like substance as a ferulic acid polymer will be described. First, ferulic acid is subjected to peroxidase treatment to polymerize ferulic acid. The polymerization conditions are not particularly limited as long as ferulic acid is polymerized. For example, by adding ferulic acid, peroxidase, and hydrogen peroxide in a phosphate buffer solution and reacting at 20 to 60 ° C. for 30 minutes or more. Do. Preferably, the reaction is carried out at 20 to 40 ° C. for 1 hour or longer. The ferulic acid treated with peroxidase is subjected to a desalting treatment by a conventional method and drying under reduced pressure to obtain a ferulic acid polymer. A low molecular weight polymer can be obtained by fractionating an aqueous solution using a 1 kDa or 500 Da ultrafiltration membrane.
[0007]
The cyclic AMP concentration-increasing agent and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor of the present invention can be used as they are or in the form of tablets, powders, wettable powders, emulsions and capsules as they are or are usually used as individual carriers, liquid carriers, emulsifying dispersants, etc. And can be used as a cyclic AMP concentration-increasing agent or a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Examples of the carrier include water, gelatin, starch, magnesium stearate, lactose, and vegetable oil. Further, the substance of the present invention can be added to various foods in addition to its use as a medicine that suppresses the increase in endothelial permeability or substitutes for hormones using cyclic AMP as a second messenger. It can be used as a food product. Examples of such foods include soft drinks, lactic acid drinks, soups, cheeses, hams, and confectionery. The substance of the present invention can also be used for the purpose of improving health by substituting hormones for pets and livestock by adding them to pet food and feed.
