Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、インフルエンザウイルスの感染抑制作用を有する植物由来の抽出物を有効成分とすることを特徴とする抗インフルエンザウイルス剤に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
毎年のようにインフルエンザの流行を引き起こすインフルエンザウイルスは、直径1万分の1ミリメートル程度のエンベロープ膜を有するRNAウイルスである。その抗原性の違いからA、B、Cの3つの型に分類されるが、流行的な広がりをみせるのはA型、B型である。これらのウイルスの粒子表面には、赤血球凝集素(HA)とノイラミニダーゼ(NA)という2種類の糖蛋白がスパイク状に突き出しており、内部には8本に分節した遺伝子RNAが存在する。ウイルスの表面にあるHAとNAは同一の亜型内で変異を頻繁に起こし、毎年のように新しい抗原変異株が出現する。
【0003】
咳による飛沫によって放出されたインフルエンザウイルスは、ヒトの鼻や口から侵入し、ウイルス表層のスパイク状糖蛋白質HAにより上気道の粘膜上皮細胞に吸着し、細胞へ侵入後増殖を開始する。近年の研究により、ウイルスの感染メカニズムが明らかにされている。ウイルスは、ヒトの標的細胞の表層に存在する糖鎖よりなるレセプターに結合し、エンドゾームへ取り込まれ、ウイルス膜とエンドゾーム膜の融合により細胞内に侵入し、ウイルス遺伝子の転写と複製、さらに宿主細胞膜からの出芽により子孫ウイルス粒子を形成し増殖する。
【0004】
インフルエンザウイルスの感染により数日で突然の発熱、頭痛、関節の痛み、全身倦怠感等の症状が現れ、それと前後して咳や喉の痛み、鼻水、鼻づまりなどの呼吸器症状が出現する。いわゆる風邪とは異なり、感染力が強く短期間で爆発的な流行を引き起こすのが特徴である。またインフルエンザウイルスのHA蛋白質の構造は年ごとに変異を繰り返し、過去の感染によりできた抗体があまり役に立たないことも感染を広げてしまう要因になっている。
【0005】
インフルエンザウイルスの感染を抑制するためには、上皮細胞への吸着の阻害、細胞への侵入の阻害、遺伝子の転写・複製の抑制、蛋白質の合成阻害、細胞からの放出の抑制などが考えられ、それぞれが抗ウイルス薬のターゲットになっている。現在までに、アマンタジン、リマンタジン、ザナミビル等の抗ウイルス薬が開発されているが、過敏症、精神神経症状、消化器系症状、自律神経系症状等の副作用が報告されており、その応用に関しては注意が必要である。
【0006】
またインフルエンザウイルスは気道粘膜上皮で感染、増殖することや、その年の流行型が予想できないことから、ワクチンの接種によって感染を抑えることも困難であると考えられている。頻繁なうがいと、喉の乾燥を避けること、栄養と休息を十分にとることなどが、現在最も有効な予防策と考えられている。そのため、感染抑制効果が高く、さらに安全性に問題がなく、日常的に利用できる抗インフルエンザウイルス剤の開発が望まれている。
【0007】
近年、天然物由来の抗インフルエンザ素材としてお茶や紅茶のポリフェノール成分が報告されており(感染症学雑誌, 68 (7) 824-829 (1994)、感染症学雑誌, 70 (11) 1190-1192 (1996))、人を用いた試験により紅茶のうがいが実際のウイルス感染を抑えることが明らかになっている(感染症学雑誌, 71 (6) 487-494 (1997))。またオウゴン由来のフラボノイド成分が、ウイルスのシアリダーゼ阻害活性によりインフルエンザ感染抑制効果を示すことが報告されている(Chem. Pharm. Bull. 38(5) 1329-1332 (1990))。さらに漢方製剤である桂枝二越婢一湯(特開平6−199680)、黒房すぐり抽出物(特開2000−212092)、馬鈴薯アントシアニン色素(特開2001−316399)、グァバ葉抽出物(特開2000−273048)羅布麻抽出物(特開平11−71296)等の抗ウイルス効果が報告されているが、本発明に示された植物抽出物のインフルエンザウイルス感染抑制効果に関する報告はみられず、本発明により初めて明らかにされたものである。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、日常的に安心して使用できる安全性の高い植物抽出物を用いて、インフルエンザウイルスの感染に対して高い抑制効果を示し、副作用の無い抗インフルエンザウイルス剤を提供することである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明者らは副作用がなく安全性の高い古くより食品や香料、お茶などに利用されてきた植物や生薬、ハーブなどに着目し、これらの中から抗インフルエンザウイルス作用を有する植物抽出物を見出すため、インフルエンザウイルス(H3N2)のMDCK細胞に対する感染性の抑制効果を指標に試験を実施した。
【0010】
その結果、イチジク(Ficus carica)、アカザ(Chenopodium album)、モモ(Prunus persica)、リンゴ(Malus pumila)、ガラナ(Paullinia cupana)、ワタフジウツギ(Buddleia officinalis)、ツユクサ(Commelina communis)、ナズナ(Capsella bursa−pastoris)、マーシュマロー(Althaea officinalis)、レモンバーベナ(Aloysia triphylla)、アイスランドモス(Cetraria islandica)、アマチャヅル(Gynostemma pentaphyllum)、フキ(Petasites japonicus)の抽出物が強いインフルエンザウイルスの感染抑制効果を有することを見出し、本発明を完成させた。
【0011】
すなわち本発明は、イチジク(Ficus carica)、アカザ(Chenopodium album)、モモ(Prunus persica)、リンゴ(Malus pumila)、ガラナ(Paullinia cupana)、ワタフジウツギ(Buddleia officinalis)、ツユクサ(Commelina communis)、ナズナ(Capsella bursa−pastoris)、マーシュマロー(Althaea officinalis)、レモンバーベナ(Aloysia triphylla)、アイスランドモス(Cetraria islandica)、アマチャヅル(Gynostemma pentaphyllum)、フキ(Petasites japonicus)からなる群より選択される1種の植物から抽出することより得られる抽出物を有効成分とすることを特徴とする抗インフルエンザウイルス剤である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an anti-influenza virus agent characterized by containing, as an active ingredient an extract from a plant having an infection inhibiting activity of influenza virus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The influenza virus that causes the influenza epidemic every year is an RNA virus having an envelope membrane with a diameter of about 1 / 10,000 mm. Although it is classified into three types, A, B, and C, due to the difference in antigenicity, it is A type and B type that show a trendy spread. Two types of glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), protrude in the form of spikes on the surface of these virus particles, and gene RNA segmented into 8 segments exists inside. HA and NA on the surface of the virus frequently mutate within the same subtype, and new antigenic variants appear every year.
[0003]
The influenza virus released by the cough droplets enters from the human nose and mouth, adsorbs to the mucosal epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract by the spike-like glycoprotein HA on the surface of the virus, and starts to proliferate after entering the cells. Recent research has revealed the mechanism of viral infection. A virus binds to a receptor consisting of a sugar chain on the surface of a human target cell, is taken into the endosome, enters the cell by fusion of the viral membrane and the endosomal membrane, transcription and replication of the viral gene, and further the host cell membrane Progeny virus particles form and propagate by budding.
[0004]
Infection of influenza virus causes symptoms such as sudden fever, headache, joint pain, general malaise in a few days, followed by respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat, runny nose and stuffy nose. Unlike the so-called cold, it is highly infectious and causes an explosive epidemic in a short period of time. In addition, the structure of the HA protein of influenza virus repeats mutations every year, and the fact that antibodies produced by past infections are not very useful is also a factor that spreads infection.
[0005]
In order to suppress infection with influenza virus, inhibition of adsorption to epithelial cells, inhibition of entry into cells, inhibition of gene transcription / replication, inhibition of protein synthesis, inhibition of release from cells, etc. are considered. Each is a target for antiviral drugs. To date, antiviral drugs such as amantadine, rimantadine, and zanamivir have been developed, but side effects such as hypersensitivity, neuropsychiatric symptoms, digestive system symptoms, and autonomic nervous system symptoms have been reported. Caution must be taken.
[0006]
In addition, influenza viruses are thought to be difficult to control by vaccination because influenza viruses infect and proliferate in the airway mucosal epithelium and the epidemic type of the year cannot be predicted. Frequent gargling, avoiding throat dryness, and adequate nutrition and rest are currently considered the most effective preventive measures. Therefore, it is desired to develop an anti-influenza virus agent that has a high infection-suppressing effect, has no safety problem, and can be used on a daily basis.
[0007]
In recent years, polyphenol components of tea and black tea have been reported as anti-influenza materials derived from natural products (Journal of Infectious Diseases, 68 (7) 824-829 (1994), Journal of Infectious Diseases, 70 (11) 1190-1192 (1996)), it has been clarified that gargle of black tea suppresses actual viral infections by human tests (Journal of Infectious Diseases, 71 (6) 487-494 (1997)). In addition, it has been reported that a flavonoid component derived from urgonum exhibits an influenza infection suppression effect due to a virus sialidase inhibitory activity (Chem. Pharm. Bull. 38 (5) 1329-1332 (1990)). Furthermore, Kameda Futoshi Koshiketsuto (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 6-199680), Kurofu currant extract (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-212092), potato anthocyanin pigment (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-316399), guava leaf extract (specialty) Open 2000-273048) Rafu hemp extract (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-71296) has been reported to have an antiviral effect, but no report on the influenza virus infection inhibitory effect of the plant extract shown in the present invention has been found, This has been revealed for the first time by the present invention.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide an anti-influenza virus agent that exhibits a high inhibitory effect against influenza virus infection and has no side effects, using a highly safe plant extract that can be used with peace of mind on a daily basis.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have focused on plants, herbal medicines, herbs, etc. that have been used for foods, fragrances, teas, etc., since they have no side effects and are highly safe. In order to find a plant extract having an action, a test was carried out using as an index the inhibitory effect of influenza virus (H3N2) on the infectivity of MDCK cells.
