Description
本発明は、エルカンプリの抽出物を含有し、副腎皮質刺激ホルモン(ACTH)を介して促進されるメラノサイトのチロシナーゼ活性に対して、特異的に拮抗し得る阻害剤に関する。The present invention relates to an inhibitor containing an extract of elcampuri and capable of specifically antagonizing the tyrosinase activity of melanocytes promoted via adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
従来、紫外線により生じる皮膚の色素沈着症状の防止、改善を目的として、メラニンの生成を触媒するチロシナーゼの活性を阻害するものや、生成したメラニン色素を還元する作用を有する物質が検討され、皮膚外用剤に応用されてきた。また、皮膚への紫外線照射量を軽減させる目的で、パラアミノ安息香酸化合物やベンゾフェノン誘導体などの紫外線吸収剤や酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛などの紫外線遮蔽効果を有する粉体を含有する皮膚外用剤が応用されてきた。さらに、紫外線によるメラノサイトの活性化に、α-メラノサイト刺激ホルモン(α-MSH)、エンドセリン、幹細胞成長因子(SCF)、ヒスタミンなどのサイトカインや活性酸素などが関与していることが明らかになり、これらの因子を制御することによる色素沈着症状の防止、改善が検討されてきた。 Conventionally, for the purpose of preventing and improving skin pigmentation caused by ultraviolet rays, substances that inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, which catalyzes the production of melanin, and substances that have the effect of reducing the produced melanin pigment have been studied. Has been applied to drugs. In addition, for the purpose of reducing the amount of ultraviolet irradiation to the skin, an external preparation for skin containing an ultraviolet absorbent such as a paraaminobenzoic acid compound or a benzophenone derivative or a powder having an ultraviolet shielding effect such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide is applied. I came. Furthermore, it became clear that cytokines such as α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), endothelin, stem cell growth factor (SCF), histamine, and active oxygen are involved in the activation of melanocytes by ultraviolet rays. Prevention and improvement of pigmentation symptoms by controlling these factors have been studied.
しかしながら、近年、紫外線だけでなく、ストレスによっても色素沈着症状が引き起こされることが明らかにされてきた(非特許文献1参照)。一般に、ストレスによるシミの悪化は、紫外線によって引き起こされるシミと異なり、下垂体前葉で産生される副腎皮質刺激ホルモン(Adrenocorticotropic
Hormone : ACTH)が関与すると考えられている。ACTHは副腎皮質でのステロイドホルモンの産生を促進するホルモンであるが、α−MSHの前駆体であるとともに、それ自体もメラニン色素の生成を促進する性質を有し、ストレスなどにより分泌量が増加する特徴がある。
(Hormone: ACTH) is considered to be involved. ACTH is a hormone that promotes the production of steroid hormones in the adrenal cortex, but it is a precursor of α-MSH and also has the property of promoting the production of melanin, and its secretion increases due to stress and the like. There is a feature to do.
ストレスにより増加した血中のACTHは、表皮に点在するメラノサイトの細胞膜表面にあるメラノコルチンレセプター−1に結合することで、メラノサイトが活性化すると考えられている。活性化されたメラノサイト内では、チロシナーゼ合成が促進され、メラニンの生成が高まり、これが色素沈着に繋がると考えられる。また、全身性の色素沈着症状があるaddison病も、副腎機能が低下して過剰分泌した血中のACTHが原因であり、内因性のACTHが皮膚における色素沈着に関与している可能性が考えられる。このように、ストレスにより誘導されるメラノサイトの活性化は、ACTHを介するメラノサイトの活性化が主体であり、従来の紫外線による皮膚の色素沈着症状の防止、改善を目的とした皮膚外用剤では十分な効果が期待できない場合もある。したがって、ストレスによる色素沈着症状の防止、改善には、ACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化を防ぐことが重要であると考えられる。ACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化を防ぐ成分としては、corticostatinが報告されている(非特許文献2参照)が、不安定であるとともに、生体成分であり、精製が難しいなどの問題がある。
本発明で使用するエルカンプリとは、リンドウ科(Gentianaceae)に属する植物で、学名をGentiana prostrata(Gentiana
alboroseaとする説もある)という。南米アマゾン地帯に自生し、ペルーでは一般名でHercampuriと呼ばれている。強い苦味のある薬草で、その全草は胆汁排泄促進効果があり、痩せ薬や肝炎の治療薬等に用いられている。

次に、本発明の効果を詳細に説明するため、実験例をあげる。 Next, experimental examples will be given to explain the effects of the present invention in detail.
実験例1 ACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化に対する抑制試験
ACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化抑制効果を下記の条件にて測定した。つまり、メラノサイトとしてB−16マウスメラノーマ細胞を用い、ACTHを添加して促進されるメラノサイトの活性化を、メラノサイトのチロシナーゼ合成量を指標に測定した。この反応系に試料を加え、チロシナーゼ合成量の生成抑制率を算出して、ACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化抑制効果とした。
Experimental Example 1 Inhibition test on activation of melanocytes by ACTH The effect of inhibiting the activation of melanocytes by ACTH was measured under the following conditions. That is, B-16 mouse melanoma cells were used as melanocytes, and activation of melanocytes promoted by addition of ACTH was measured using the amount of tyrosinase synthesized in melanocytes as an index. A sample was added to this reaction system, and the production inhibition rate of the amount of tyrosinase synthesis was calculated to obtain the effect of inhibiting the activation of melanocytes by ACTH.
B−16マウスメラノーマ細胞を96well micro−plateに1wellあたり3.2×104個播種し、1%FCSを含むEagle‘s MEM培養液で37℃、5%CO2条件下、2日間培養した。次に、1または10μg/mLのエルカンプリ抽出物および40nM ACTHを添加した1%FCSを含むEagle’s MEM培養液に培地交換し、さらに2日間培養した。その後、細胞内に生成されたチロシナーゼの活性を比色定量した。すなわち、培地を除いた後、PBSで洗浄し、50μLの1%Triton X−100 PBS溶液を加え、30分間撹拌して細胞を溶解し、溶解液のチロシナーゼ活性およびタンパク量を測定した。チロシナーゼ活性は、25μLの1%Triton X−100 PBSの細胞溶解液に100μLの0.25%L−DOPA溶液を加え、37℃で3時間インキュベートし、450nmの吸光度を測定し、別途測定したタンパク量で補正した。得られたチロシナーゼ生成量について、コントロールに対する試料添加時のチロシナーゼ生成量の減少率から、メラノサイトの活性化抑制率を算出した。 B-16 mouse melanoma cells were seeded in 96-well micro-plates at 3.2 × 10 4 per well, and cultured in Eagle's MEM culture medium containing 1% FCS at 37 ° C. under 5% CO 2 for 2 days. Next, the medium was changed to Eagle's MEM culture medium containing 1% FCS supplemented with 1 or 10 μg / mL of Elcampuri extract and 40 nM ACTH, and further cultured for 2 days. Thereafter, the activity of tyrosinase produced in the cells was colorimetrically determined. That is, after removing the medium, the plate was washed with PBS, 50 μL of 1% Triton X-100 PBS solution was added, and the cells were lysed by stirring for 30 minutes, and the tyrosinase activity and protein amount of the lysate were measured. Tyrosinase activity was determined by adding 100 μL of 0.25% L-DOPA solution to 25 μL of 1% Triton X-100 PBS cell lysate, incubating at 37 ° C. for 3 hours, measuring the absorbance at 450 nm, and separately measuring the protein. Corrected by amount. About the obtained tyrosinase production amount, the activation suppression rate of the melanocyte was computed from the decreasing rate of the tyrosinase production amount at the time of the sample addition with respect to control.
これらの試験結果を表1に示した。その結果、エルカンプリ抽出物には優れたACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化に対する抑制効果が認められた。また、ACTHを加えずに同様の試験を行った結果、エルカンプリ抽出物は、試料濃度1及び10μg/mLにおいて、メラノサイトのチロシナーゼ合成量には影響を及ぼしていなかった。したがって、ACTHを介さずに直接エルカンプリ抽出物がメラノサイトに与える効果は非常に小さく、本試験は、エルカンプリ抽出物のACTHによるメラノサイトの活性化に対する阻害効果をみているといえる。
本発明の活用例として、化粧品、医薬部外品及び医薬品のいずれにも用いることができる。その剤型としては、例えば、化粧水、クリーム、乳液などがあげられ、外用することにより、ストレスに由来する色素沈着症状の防止、改善効果が期待される。 As an application example of the present invention, it can be used for any of cosmetics, quasi drugs and pharmaceuticals. As the dosage form, for example, lotion, cream, milky lotion and the like can be mentioned, and when applied externally, the effect of preventing and improving pigmentation caused by stress is expected.
