Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は胃潰瘍の予防及び治療に効果的な蘇葉抽出物とその用途及びそれからベルベリンを得る工程に関し、より具体的には、胃炎、胃潰瘍の原因菌として知られるヘリコバクターピロリに対して抗菌活性を有する胃潰瘍の予防及び治療に効果的な蘇葉抽出物とその用途及びそれからベルベリンを得る工程に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ヘリコバクターピロリは1983年ウォレンとマーシャルにより分離された後(Lancet,1983,1,1273−1275)、胃炎及び十二指腸潰瘍の原因菌と明かされ(J.Infect.Dis.,1990,161,626−633;Am.J.Med.,1991,91,566−572)、現在は胃癌発病因子の一つと認められ全世界的な関心と研究の対象となっている。ヘリコバクターピロリは胃粘膜上皮細胞間の接合部に棲息するグラム陰性肝菌で、最適pHは7.0〜7.4であり、30〜37℃の微好気的条件で生長するが、このような条件が充足されないか又は環境の変化が生ずると、コッコイド(球菌状)形態への変化が観察される。その病原性因子として最も代表的な特徴である強力なウレアーゼの生産能と胃粘膜層に対する付着及び移動を可能にするフラジェラ(鞭毛)などがあり、また、Vag A、Cag A、リポ多糖類などを含む細胞毒が研究されている。
【0003】
これまでは、ヘリコバクターピロリによる消化器疾患の予防及び治療は3重化学療法に代表される多様な抗生物質に依存しているが、持続的な使用による耐性菌の出現又は再発性疾病の危険により依然としてその限界が指摘されている。これを克服するための努力としてワクチンの開発のための免疫学的方法又は乳酸菌を用いるアプローチ(J.Appl.Bacterial.,1995,79,475−479;J.Clin.Microbial.,1989,27,2328−2330)などが試されている。
【0004】
最近では、多様な天然物素材からヘリコバクターピロリを抑制し得る活性成分を探し出すための努力が持続されている。オオタ(Ohta)などはニンニク抽出物(garlic extract)から多様な活性物質を分離報告し(Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother.,1999,43,1811−1812)、マベ(Mabe)などは緑茶内のカテキン類化合物に対し、試験管内でだけでなく生体内水準でヘリコバクターピロリ抑制能を確認したことがある(Antimicrob.Agents and Chemother.,1999,43,1788−1791)。そのほかにも、イブキジャコウソウ(J.Appl.Bacterial.,1996,80,667−672)又は多様なフラボノイド(Arzneim.−Forsch./Drug Res.,1995,45,697−700)からも強力な活性が報告されている。特に、最近には漢方素材から活性植物を探索するための努力が日本国と韓国を中心に活発に展開されている(J.Trad.Med.,1995,12,129−136;新薬の臨床,1997,46,49−53;Biol.Pharm.Bull.,1998,21,990−992)。
【0005】
本発明者らは胃潰瘍の予防と治療に食用と薬用に同時に使用される蘇葉を使用しようとした。蘇葉(Perilla frutescens var.acuta KUDO)は紫蘇とも言われ、漢方では発汗、止血、鎮咳、風疾(中風)、鎮痛、鎮静、利尿などに使用してきた。蘇葉は紫蘇科(Labiatae)に属する1年生草で、花は8〜9月に薄い紫色で咲く。日本国では“シソ”と言われ、香辛料及び食用色素として重要な位置を占めている。蘇葉には主としてアントシアニンが多様に含有されており、ペリロサイド(perilloside)などのグルコシド物質が多く報告されている(Phytochem.,1994,37,543−546;Phytochem.,1992,31,3265−3267)。
【0006】
そこで、本発明者らは食用素材である蘇葉からヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性、ウレアーゼ活性などの直接的な除菌効果と胃内定着性、インターロイキン−8生成抑制などの効能を確認し、これに対する有効成分を同定しようとした。また、蘇葉抽出物と有効成分を用いる胃潰瘍予防と治療用食品及び薬品を提供しようとした。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の主目的は、食用素材である蘇葉から胃炎及び胃、十二指腸潰瘍の原因菌であるヘリコバクターピロリに対して抗菌活性、ウレアーゼ活性、胃内定着性、インターロイキン−8生成抑制などの効能を確認し、これに対する有効成分を同定して提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
また、本発明のほかの目的は、蘇葉抽出物と有効成分を用いる胃潰瘍予防及び治療用食品と薬品を提供することである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは昔から漢方で発汗、止血、鎮咳、風疾(中風)、鎮痛、鎮静、利尿などに使用してきながら食用にも使用した蘇葉を熱水抽出して、国内の胃潰瘍患者から分離したヘリコバクターピロリ(H.pylori)KS 51菌下部に対する抗菌活性を確認した。この蘇葉抽出物に対してヘリコバクターピロリウレアーゼ活性抑制と胃内定着抑制効果、そしてヘリコバクターピロリによる胃炎発生メカニズムに関与するインターロイキン−8の生成抑制効果を確認した。また、蘇葉からカラムクロマトグラフィ(XAD−7,シリカ、セファデックス LH−20)と薄層クロマトグラフィを実施して、その有効成分としてベルベリン(Berberine)を分離、同定した。
【0010】
本発明は、ヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性及びヘリコバクターピロリウレアーゼ活性抑制効果、胃上皮細胞定着性抑制効果、インターロイキン−8生成抑制効果を有するように、生薬素材である蘇葉を熱水抽出し濃縮して製造した熱水抽出物と、前記生薬素材である蘇葉を溶媒抽出し濃縮して製造した溶媒抽出物との中で1種以上を含むことを特徴とする胃潰瘍予防及び治療効果を有する蘇葉抽出物を提供する。
【0011】
前記熱水抽出物は、前記蘇葉に一定量の水を添加し、高温で一定時間熱水抽出した後、その濾液を減圧濃縮することで製造される。好ましくは、蘇葉に添加される水の量は蘇葉の重量に対しておよそ5〜20倍添加され、80〜120℃で6〜15時間熱水抽出され、40〜70cmHgで減圧濃縮することで製造される。
【0012】
前記溶媒抽出物は、前記蘇葉に一定量のエタノールを添加し、高温で一定時間抽出した後、その濾液を減圧濃縮することで製造される。好ましくは、エタノールは蘇葉の重量に対しておよそ5〜20倍添加され、50〜90℃で4〜8時間抽出し、40〜70cmHgで減圧濃縮することで製造される。
【0013】
前記方法により製造された蘇葉抽出物(熱水抽出液及び/又は溶媒抽出液)を有効成分として含有して発酵乳又は飲料に製造できる。また、前記方法により製造された蘇葉抽出物を有効成分として含有し、これに薬剤学的に許容される及び補助剤を混合し、薬剤学的に許容される方法で剤形化して薬学製剤を製造することができる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
蘇葉抽出物(特に、熱水抽出物)の製造
熱水抽出物は蘇葉に一定量の水を添加し、高温で一定時間熱水抽出した後、その濾液を減圧濃縮することで製造される。好ましくは、蘇葉に添加される水の量は蘇葉の重量に対しておよそ5〜20倍添加され、80〜120℃で6〜15時間熱水抽出され、40〜70cmHgで減圧濃縮することで製造される。
【0015】
本発明の実施例1においては、蘇葉150gを加熱循環式抽出タンクに入れ、水1350mlを加え95℃で8時間抽出した後、149μmの濾過布で濾過し、40〜70cmHgで50℃で減圧濃縮することにより、65brix°の蘇葉濃縮液37gを得た(実施例1参照)。
【0016】
蘇葉溶媒抽出物の製造
溶媒抽出物は、蘇葉に一定量のエタノールを添加し、高温で一定時間抽出した後、その濾液を減圧濃縮することで製造される。好ましくは、エタノールは蘇葉の重量に対しておよそ5〜20倍添加され、50〜90℃で4〜8時間抽出し、40〜70cmHgで減圧濃縮することで製造される。
【0017】
本発明の実施例2においては、蘇葉1kgを加熱循環式抽出タンクに入れ、50〜70%のエタノール10kgを加え55〜85℃で4〜15時間抽出した後、149μmの濾過布で濾過し、40〜70cmHgで減圧濃縮することにより、固形分が0.1〜20%である抽出液を得た。これにデキストリンなどの副溶剤を混合して濃縮度10〜70brix°の蘇葉溶媒抽出物を得た(実施例2参照)。
【0018】
蘇葉からのベルベリンの分離
蘇葉からベルベリンを分離するためには、蘇葉抽出物に蒸留水(水)と有機溶媒を加えて混合した後、有機溶媒層を除去し、水溶層をXAD−7カラムクロマトグラフィに入れ、アセトンとメタノールを加えて有機溶媒溶出液を得、前記有機溶媒溶出液からシリカカラムクロマトグラフィより分画液を得、前記分画液から予備TLC(preparative TLC)によりベルベリンを分離することができる。
【0019】
前記有機溶媒の好ましい例は、クロロホルム、ジクロロメタン、ジエチルエーテル及び酢酸エチルである。
【0020】
多様な天然物が蘇葉の二次代謝産物として報告されたことがあるが、そのなかで抗ヘリコバクターピロリ活性を有する物質は知られていないため、抽出物に存在する種々の成分から抗ヘリコバクターピロリ活性物質をいろいろの分離技法で分離した。蘇葉抽出物に対する有機溶媒分画により非水溶性分画を分離した後、水溶性分画に対してXAD−7カラムクロマトグラフィを実施して水溶層内に存在する多量の糖成分を除去した。以後、シリカカラムクロマトグラフィと薄層クロマトグラフィ(TLC)など分離技法により分離された活性分画から単一の有効成分を得ることができる。各分離段階で得られた分画に対して抑制環法で活性を追跡し、活性物質の分離程度はTLC及びHPLC分析により確認した(実施例3参照)。
【0021】
ベルベリンの同定
クロマトグラフィにより活性成分が単一物質として分離されることにより、ESI−MS(electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy)とNMR(nuclear magnetic resonance)によりその構造を決定して活性物質の構造を確認し、この構造がイソキノリン系列のアルカロイド物質であるベルベリンと同定された。ESI−MS測定で[M]+が336と観察され、1H−NMRと13C−NMRスペクトルで水素と炭素の数を確認して分子式がC2121NO3であることが分かった。以下、1H−1H COSY、DEPT、HMQC、HMBCなどの2D−NMR実験及びFT−IRスペクトルから物質の構造式を確認し、このような結果がベルベリン標準物質のスペクトルと正確に一致することを確認した(実施例4参照)。
【0022】
抗菌活性
蘇葉抽出物とその有効成分であるベルベリンがヘリコバクターピロリに対して有する抗菌活性をヘリコバクターピロリの寒天培地と液体培地でそれぞれ確認した。寒天培地を用いる抑制環測定において、蘇葉抽出物は10mg/ml以下の低濃度では抑制環を形成することができなかったが、20mg/mlの濃度では直径18mmの抑制環を形成することが観察された。ベルベリンの場合には、2.0mg/mlの低濃度でも25mmの抑制環を形成することにより強力な抗菌活性を表した。前記実験で蘇葉抽出物及びベルベリンが強力な抗菌活性を確認することにより、ヘリコバクターピロリの液体培養を通じて抽出物とベルベリンのヘリコバクターピロリに対する最小阻止濃度(MIC)を測定した。二倍希釈法により濃度の異なる素材を液体培地にそれぞれ溶かし、各培地に菌を接種した後、菌の生長抑制を、生菌数、ウレアーゼ活性、菌懸濁度の測定により観察した。三つの測定方法とも濃度依存的に素材が菌の生長を抑制することが観察され、蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンはそれぞれ250μg/mlと12.5μg/mlが最小阻止濃度であることが測定された(実施例5、6参照)。
【0023】
ヘリコバクターピロリ胃内定着抑制効果
前記抗菌活性とは別にヘリコバクターピロリの胃表皮細胞定着に対する蘇葉抽出物の抑制効果を観察するため、胃上皮腫瘍細胞であるAGS細胞培養液にヘリコバクターピロリ接種前と接種後にそれぞれ濃度別に素材を添加して予防と治療の2方法で抑制能を測定した。ヘリコバクターピロリ接種に先立って、素材を投与した予防効果測定群においては、2%の素材濃度で98%の効果を示し、1%と0.5%濃度でも60%以上の高い効果を示した。素材を接種後に投与した治療効果測定群においても、2%素材濃度で80%、1%と0.5%の濃度では40%以上の効果が観察されたが、予防効果よりは抑制能が低いことが判明した(実施例7参照)。
【0024】
ヘリコバクターピロリ感染により誘導されるインターロイキン−8生成抑制効果
胃腸及び小腸の上皮細胞がバクテリアに露出されると、サイトカインの生成を誘導することになり、このようなサイトカインの増加はヘリコバクターの感染による炎症反応を起こす原因として知られている。ヘリコバクターピロリの場合、インターロイキン−8が胃上皮細胞に好中球又はマクロファージを活性化させる代表的なサイトカインとして知られている。したがって、感染された組織細胞のインターロイキン−8生成量の減少により素材による感染抑制の効果を確認することができる。AGS細胞にヘリコバクターピロリを感染させた後、1%(w/v)濃度の蘇葉抽出物を投与し、インターロイキン−8の生成量を測定した結果、対照群に比べAGS細胞によるインターロイキン−8の生成量が85%減少することが観察された(実施例8参照)。
【0025】
動物実験によるヘリコバクターピロリ感染抑制効果の確認
ヘリコバクターピロリ感染に対する蘇葉抽出物の予防と治療効果を4週齢のBALB/cマウスで確認した。その結果、蘇葉熱水抽出物をまず投与してヘリコバクターピロリの感染を予防した場合、ヘリコバクターピロリのウレアーゼ活性測定とウレアーゼ活性測定の結果、それぞれ92.5%と87.5%の予防率を示した。
【0026】
また、ヘリコバクターピロリをまず感染させた後、選択された乳酸菌を投与した治療の側面では、蘇葉熱水抽出物を投与した場合、生菌水とウレアーゼ活性測定の結果、それぞれ82.5%と80.0%の治療率を示した。
【0027】
したがって、ヘリコバクターピロリの感染に対して蘇葉抽出物を使用すると、高い予防と治療効果が得られることを確認した(実施例9参照)。
【0028】
以下、実施例に基づいて本発明をより詳細に説明する。しかし、つぎの実施例は本発明の範囲を限定するものではなく、本発明の技術的思想の範囲で当業者による通常の変化が可能である。
【0029】
実施例1
蘇葉の熱水抽出
食用と薬用の両方に使用されている蘇葉から熱水抽出物を製造した。蘇葉150gを加熱循環式抽出タンクに入れ、水1350mlを加えた後、およそ95℃で8時間抽出して粗抽出液を得た。前記粗抽出液を149μmの濾過布で濾過した後、55cmHgで減圧濃縮して60brix°以上の蘇葉濃縮液37gを得た。
【0030】
実施例2
蘇葉の溶媒抽出
蘇葉1kgを加熱循環式抽出タンクに入れ、60%エタノール10kgを加え60℃で10時間抽出した後149μmの濾過布で濾過し、55cmHgで減圧濃縮して固形分10%の抽出液を得た。これにデキストリンなどの副溶剤を混合して濃縮度が40brix°である生薬濃縮液を製造した。
【0031】
実施例3
蘇葉からのベルベリン分離
蘇葉に存在する抗ヘリコバクターピロリ活性物質を同定するため、実施例1で製造された蘇葉抽出物に対し、図1に示すように、順次クロマトグラフィ技法を実施して単一の主活性物質を分離した。各分離段階で分けられた分画に対しては抑制環法で活性を確認し、分離の程度をTLC及びHPLC分析で観察した。
【0032】
1)抑制環方による抗菌活性の確認
活性を確認しようとする分画物を一定濃度でメタノールに溶かした後、0.45μmフィルタで濾過した。濾過液20μlを滅菌されたディスク(BactoConcentration Disk, Difco, U.S.A.)に吸収させ、ディスクが乾燥すると、20μlを更に滴下した後、溶媒が完全に除去されるまで無菌条件で放置した。培養24〜48時間を経たヘリコバクターピロリをブルセラ寒天培地に塗抹し、その上にディスクを置いた後、プレートを10%CO2培養器で37℃で72時間培養した。分画物の活性はディスク周囲に形成された抑制環の大きさで確認した。
【0033】
2)分画物の分析
分画物の分析はTLCとHPLCにより行われた。TLCプレートはメルク社の製品(silica gel 60 F254, Germany)を用いた。展開溶媒はCHCl3/MeOH/AcOH=7:1:0.5とトルエン/CHCl3=1:1の2種を使用し、ヨード蒸気とUV(254nm)で確認した。
【0034】
HPLC分析に使用されたカラムはウォーターズ社の製品(microbondapak,C18,300×4.6mm)であり、移動相は水/MeOHを1.0ml/分の流速にして用いた。分析は285nmで行い、20μlを注入して分析した。
【0035】
3)有機溶媒による水溶性物質の分画
有機溶媒に対する溶解度と極性の差を用いて蘇葉抽出物内の物質を水溶層と有機溶媒層に分離した。適切な有機溶媒の選定のため、クロロホルム、ジクロロメタン、ジエチルエーテル、酢酸エチルの4種の有機溶媒を比較した結果、クロロホルムとジクロロメタンでは0.9%(w/w)の物質が移動し、残りの有機溶媒では、0.2%以下しか移動しなかった。また、ジクロロメタンがクロロホルムより人体にもっと有害であるので、クロロホルムを利用し、抽出物を20mg/mlの濃度で蒸留水に溶かした後、これに同じ容積のクロロホルムを分離ファネル(separatory funnel)で2回分画して水層から非極性物質を除去した。
【0036】
4)XAD−7カラムクロマトグラフィ
水溶層を濾過紙(Whatman No.4)で濾過して沈殿物を除去した後、減圧濃縮し、再び蒸留水を加えて25mg/ml濃度の抽出溶液を製造した。アンバーライトXAD−7(Amberlite XAD−7)(Nonionic polymeric adsorbent, Sigma Chemical Co.)をオープンカラム(open column)に充填した後、メタノールで十分に洗浄し、再び2倍容積の蒸留水を注いでメタノールを除去した。樹脂に対して1:14(乾燥抽出物重量/樹脂重量)の抽出物溶液をカラムに滴下した後、標本容積の60倍の蒸留水でカラムを溶出させて糖類を含む水溶性物質を除去した。標本容積の80倍のメタノールを再び溶出させて非水溶性物質を得、最後にメタノール容積の半分のアセトンを加えて洗浄した。アセトン分画物とメタノール分画はTLCで確認した結果、同じパターンを示し、抗菌活性も同じ水準であったので、2分画物を合わせた。
【0037】
各溶離剤(eluent fraction)を減圧濃縮した後、定量的にヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性を測定した結果を以下の表1に示した。水溶層では抗菌活性が全く表われなかったし、活性が有機溶媒層に全て移動されたことが確認できた。溶出液から得られた水溶性分画とメタノール分画に対して1.0mlずつを取った後、フェノール−サルファリック法(phenol−sulfuric method)を実施して2分画内の総当量を定量した。抽出液溶液をXAD−7により溶出させた場合、水層での糖含量は97.0mg/Lと表われ、有機溶媒層では2.9mg/Lの糖含量が測定された。すなわち、XAD−7カラムを用いて抽出物から96%以上の糖を除去することができた。

5)シリカカラムクロマトグラフィ
XAD−7を通過した有機溶媒分画を少量のメタノールに溶かした後、十分な量のセライト(celite)(Yakuri,Japan)を注ぎ、減圧濃縮器でメタノールを全て除去して抽出物をセライトに吸着させた。カラムにグラスウールを詰めた後、その上にセライトを表面が水平となるようにパッキングを行った。シリカゲル(Cat.No.1.09385,Merck,Germany)を高さ8.0cmとなるように注いだ後真空状態で20分間圧力を加えて確実にパッキングした。減圧下で200mlのアセトンを注いで不純物を除去した後、アスピレータ(吸引器)を用いて12時間乾燥させた。蘇葉抽出物が吸着されたセライトをシリカカラム上に充填した後、減圧下でメタノールの比率が0%から50%まで段階的に増加したクロロホルム/メタノール溶液を順に溶出させた後、チューブに受けた。各分画をTLCで確認した結果、6分画に分けることができ、このなかでFr.5で高活性が観察された。
【0040】
6)予備TLC(Preparative TLC)
活性分画を減圧濃縮した後、TLC板(TLC plate)(Cat.No.,1.05744,Silica Gel 60 F254,0.5mm,Merck,Germany)の出発線上に吸着させ、MeOH/CHCl3/AcOH=7:2:0.5に展開した。板を280nmで観察したとき、Rfの値がそれぞれ0.11〜0.15、0.15〜0.21、0.22〜0.37、0.37〜0.64、0.69〜0.71である五つのバンドを確認した後、スクレーパで掻いた。掻き出したシリカはアセトンとクロロホルム/MeOH(7:1,v/v)溶液で溶出して、吸着された物質を分離した。抗菌活性を確認した結果、Rf値が0.15〜0.21である分画(Fr.5−M)でのみ活性が表われた。

ベルベリンの構造分析
クロマトグラフィの実施により活性成分が単一物質として分離されることによりESI−MS(electrospray ionization massspectroscopy)とNMR(nuclear magnetic resonance)によりその構造を決定して、活性物質が図2の構造を有することを確認し、この構造はイソキノリン系列のアルカロイド物質であるベルベリンであると同定された。ESI−MS測定で[M]+が336と観察され、1H−NMR(図3、表2)と13C−NMRスペクトル(図4、表3)で水素と炭素の数を確認して、分子式がC2121NO3であることが分かった。以下、1H−1H COSY(図5)、DEPT(図6)、HMQC(図7)、HMBC(図8)などの2D−NMR実験及びFT−IR(図9)スペクトルから物質の構造式が図2のようであることを確認し、このような結果はベルベリン標準物質のスペクトルと正確に一致した。

培地分散(Well diffusion)方法によるヘリコバクターピロリ抗菌活性比較
前記実施例1及び2から得られた蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンに対してヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性を培地分散(well diffusion)法により確認した。まず滅菌されたシリンダをペトリ皿の適当な位置に立てた後、25mlのブルセラ寒天培地を注いで固めた。予め培養されたヘリコバクターピロリをブルセラブロスに懸濁して吸光度(450nm)を1.2となるようにした。菌懸濁液200μlを液体状態のソフト寒天(0.8%)培地に添加し、これをすぐシリンダ板に注いで均等に分散させた。この板を10%の二酸化炭素インキュベータ(CO2 incubator)に入れて培地を固めた後、シリンダをピンセットで除去し、各試料をシリンダにより形成された培地に170μlずつ加えた。この板を37℃、10%CO2の条件で72時間培養した後、形成されたクリアゾーンの大きさを測定して抗菌効果を比較した。
【0045】
培地分散法による蘇葉抽出物と蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンのヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性結果を表4に示した。蘇葉抽出物は2.0mg/mlと20.0mg/mlの2濃度でブルセラブロスに溶かした後、フィルトレーションで除菌して使用し、ベルベリンは2.0mg/mlの濃度でDMSOに溶かし除菌して使用した。対照群でDMSOの抗菌活性の有無を確認した。蘇葉抽出物は2.0mg/mlの濃度ではクリアゾーンを形成することが全くできなかったが、20.0mg/mlの濃度では18mm程度のクリアゾーンを形成して高い抗菌活性を表した。その有効成分であるベルベリンの場合は、2.0mg/mlの濃度でクリアゾーンが25mm程度と非常に高い活性を表わした。反面、対照群であるDMSOはクリアゾーンを全く形成できなかったので、ベルベリン活性に対する溶媒の影響がないことを確認した。

最小阻止濃度測定によるヘリコバクターピロリ(H.pylori)抗菌活性の比較
前記実施例1及び2から得られた蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンに対してヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性を最小阻止濃度(MIC:Minimal inhibitory concentration)測定により確認した。
【0048】
各試料を24培地板(well plate)に2倍希釈法で希釈して900μl/培地となるようにした。24時間培養したヘリコバクターピロリブロス培養物から1.0mlを取り、106cfu/mlの濃度に希釈し各培地に100μlずつ添加した(total volume,1.0ml)。板を10%CO2条件でシェーキング培養しながら時間別に標本を取り、生菌数、ウレアーゼ活性、細胞懸濁度による最小阻止濃度(MIC)を測定した。
【0049】
1)生菌数の測定による最小阻止濃度(MIC)
生菌数の測定は培養36時間後に板から培地当たり100μlを取り103倍希釈した後、ブルセラ寒天板に塗抹し、10%CO2インキュベータで37℃、72時間培養した後、現れた菌の集落を計数した。
【0050】
2)ウレアーゼ活性測定による最小阻止濃度(MIC)
ウレアーゼ活性の測定は培地当たり100μlを取り、1.0mlのウレアRブロスに添加し、これを10%CO2インキュベータで6時間培養した後、560nmで吸光度を測定した。
【0051】
3)細胞懸濁度の測定による最小阻止濃度(MIC)
細胞懸濁度の測定は、培養完了後、各培地からブロスを全てエッペンドルフチューブに移し、再度培地に1.0mlの蒸留水で洗浄して加えた。チューブを12,000×gで5分間遠心分離した後、上澄み液を捨て、細胞ペレットを400μlの蒸留水に懸濁させた後、200μlを取り、96培地板に移し660nmで吸光度を測定した。
【0052】
ヘリコバクターピロリに対する蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンの抗菌活性を生菌数の測定による最小阻止濃度(MIC)結果を表5に示した。蘇葉抽出物の場合、1,000μg/ml以上の濃度では2.0×108cfu/mlのヘリコバクターピロリが完全に阻止されることを確認し、ベルベリンの場合は25μg/ml以上の濃度でヘリコバクターピロリが完全に阻止されることを確認し、12.5μg/mlの濃度でも50%以上が阻止されることが分かった。
【0053】
【表5】
Figure 0004888750
【0054】
△対照群(Control):2.0×108cfu/ml
++:菌数が多くて計数不可
蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンによるヘリコバクターピロリウレアーゼ活性抑制程度による最小阻止濃度(MIC)結果を図10に示した。同図に示すように、各素材のヘリコバクターピロリに対する最小阻止濃度(MIC)を決定するため、ヘリコバクターピロリ培養60時間後、ウレアーゼの活性をRブロスにより測定した。
【0055】
図10に示すように、蘇葉抽出物の場合、ウレアーゼ分析試験により測定された最小阻止濃度(MIC)は250mg/mlの濃度と決定され、これは以前の実験結果である100mg/mlと違いを表す。このことは、測定時、培養時間(48hr vs.60hr)の違いと測定方法(Viable cell counting vs.urease assay)によって違いを表すことで説明される。ベルベリンの最小阻止濃度(MIC)は12.5μg/mlと決定された。ベルベリンに対する溶媒として使用されたDMSOも高濃度では細胞成長に影響を及ぼすことが分かるが、分画物の活性が依然として存在する低濃度では全く阻害効果が表われないので、分画物の最小阻止濃度(MIC)の決定には影響を及ぼさないことが分かる。
【0056】
そして、細胞懸濁度による最小阻止濃度(MIC)の決定は蘇葉抽出物とベルベリンにより培養されて60時間後に現われた増殖抑制程度を細胞懸濁度により測定したもので、その結果は図11に示されたとおりである。蘇葉抽出物は0.5mg/mlの濃度までは完全な抗菌活性を表し、250、125mg/mlの濃度ではそれぞれ50、30%の阻止率を表わした。この結果は、以前に生菌数の測定により確認された最小阻止濃度(MIC)(100μg/ml)と一致する結果と考えられる。また、ベルベリンの最小阻止濃度(MIC)は12.5μg/mlで、ウレアーゼ分析試験での結果と同じに決定された。

ヘリコバクターピロリ胃内定着抑制効果
ヘリコバクターピロリの胃内定着抑制効果をつぎのように予防治療の観点で確認した。
【0058】
A.予防効果の測定
AGS細胞(AGS cell,106cfu/well)を6−培地板に付着させた後、各素材とRPMI 1640(10% FBS)培地を入れ3時間インキュベーションを行った。ヘリコバクターピロリを107細胞/ウエル濃度で摂取し再び1時間インキュベーションを行った。板シェーカーで3回ウォッシングした後、滅菌蒸留水1.0mlを入れ1時間反応してAGS細胞をリシス(溶離)させた。細胞を収集して遠心分離した細胞ペレットにウレアRブロス1.0mlを入れ、37℃で1時間反応させてO.D(560nm)を測定した。
【0059】
B.処理(Treatment)
AGS細胞(106細胞/ウエル)を6培地板に付着させた後、ヘリコバクターピロリを107cfu/ウエル(0.1ml)接種して3時間インキュベーションを行った。0.2mlの素材と2.7mlのRPMI 1640(10% FBS)培地を入れ、1時間反応させた。板シェーカーで3回ウォッシングした後、滅菌蒸留水1.0mlを入れ1時間AGS細胞をリシス(溶離)させた。細胞を収集して遠心分離したセルペレットにウレアRブロス1.0mlを入れ37℃で1時間反応させてO.D(560nm)を測定した。
【0060】
蘇葉抽出物をそれぞれヘリコバクターピロリ接種前と接種後にAGS細胞培地に添加し、その付着阻害率を測定した結果を図12に示した。同図に示すように、0.5%、1%、2%の添加時、濃度の異なる実験群でヘリコバクターピロリ感染以前に蘇葉を投与した群が感染以後に蘇葉を投与した群よりは高い活性を示すことが分かった。特に、予防と治療群とも2%では98%と82%の高い阻害効果を示し、その以下の濃度では活性に大きい違いがないことが示された。
【0061】
実施例8
ヘリコバクターピロリ感染により誘導されるインターロイキン−8生成抑制効果
ヘリコバクターピロリの感染により誘導される胃上皮細胞でのインターロイキン−8の生成量の変化により蘇葉抽出物の感染抑制効果を測定した。
【0062】
まず寒天培地で培養されたヘリコバクターピロリを10mlのPBS緩衝液で洗浄した後、4℃、9,000rpmで10分間遠心分離した。沈殿された細胞を1mlのハンクス液 F12培地に懸濁し、懸濁液の少量を取り1:50に希釈した後、660nmで懸濁度を測定して下記のように濃度を実験条件に合わせた。
【0063】
細胞濃度(細胞集団)=16.95×A660×(希釈因子)×108/mlヘリコバクターピロリ=1.084×16.95×50×108=9.18×108
AGS培養液はA、B、C、Dの4群に分け2回繰り返して処理した。A群はAGSのみを培養した群であり、B群とC群はそれぞれAGSに蘇葉抽出物とヘリコバクターピロリのみをそれぞれ処理した。D群は培地に溶かした蘇葉抽出物を1%(w/v)となるように添加し、1時間後にヘリコバクターピロリ懸濁液100μlを7.5×108cfu/mlで再び添加した。全群から、培養後0、2、4、6、9時間にそれぞれ培地を取り、4℃、12,000rpmで3分間遠心分離し、その上澄み液を取った後、エリザ法(QuantikineTMHuman IL−8 Immunoassay kit,R&D System Europe Ltd.)でインターロイキン−8の量を測定した。
【0064】
A:対照群
B:蘇葉抽出物処理群
C:ヘリコバクターピロリ処理群
D:蘇葉抽出物+ヘリコバクターピロリ処理群
1)サンプリング
板培地(Plate well)内の培地を収集した後、4℃、12,000rpmで3分間遠心分離した。上澄み液をエペンドルフチューブに移した後、−70℃で貯蔵した。
【0065】
2)標準溶液
RD5P(5×)2.0mlをD.W.で5倍に希釈した後、5.0mlを取り、IL−8標準溶液バイアルに添加して2,000pg/mlのストック(stock)を製造した。2倍希釈により8濃度の100μl標準溶液を準備した。
【0066】
3)分析試験(Assay)
分析希釈液(Assay diluent)(RD1−8)100μlを板培地に入れ、50μlの標本と標準溶液を添加した。共役(Conjugate)溶液100μlを加えた後、常温で2時間半の間シェーキングを行った。板を400μlのウォッシング緩衝液で6回洗浄し、これに試薬Aと試薬Bをそれぞれ1:1で混ぜ合わせた基質溶液200μlを添加した。板を30分間定置した後、色変化を観察しつつ492nmで吸光度を観察した。
【0067】
ヘリコバクターピロリが胃粘膜の上皮細胞と相互作用するとき、多様なサイトカインの生成を促進することになり、このなかでもIL−8の分泌が最も著しく現れる。そして、IL−8は胃炎の直接的な原因となる好中球又はマクロファージまで誘導することになる。したがって、ヘリコバクターピロリ感染により誘導されるIL−8の生成を抑制することが胃炎発生を抑制するための1方法となり得る。
【0068】
図13に培養時間による4群でのインターロイキン−8の生成量の変化を示した。ヘリコバクターピロリに感染されていない群(A、B群)では、9時間経過後にもインターロイキン−8の生成が殆どなかったが、ヘリコバクターピロリ感染群(C群)では、6時間経過時まで急に増加し、その以後におよそ2,500pg/ml水準でインターロイキン−8の量が維持された。反面、AGSを蘇葉抽出物とともに1時間培養した後、ヘリコバクターピロリを感染させたとき(D群)、インターロイキン−8の生成量は著しく減少して、培養9時間後にも300pg/ml程度とC群の15%水準に止まることが現れた。したがって、蘇葉抽出物がヘリコバクターピロリ感染により誘導、生成されるインターロイキン−8の生成量をおよそ85%程度減少させることにより胃炎の発生率も減少させることを確認することができた。
【0069】

動物実験によるヘリコバクターピロリ感染の予防と治療効果の確認
ヘリコバクターピロリの感染に対する蘇葉抽出物の予防と治療効果をマウスにより確認した。実験に使用されたBALB/cマウスはマウスの胃腸管内に存在してウレアーゼ活性を表すヘリコバクターフェリス(Helicobacterfelis)が存在しないものだけを選別して使用した。使用したBALB/cマウスは4週齢の雌性で、予防と治療各群当たり40匹を使用し、陽性、陰性対照群には群当たり20匹を使用した。マウスは25℃、50%湿度、SPF条件で飼育しながら実験した。この際に、陰性対照群としては、ヘリコバクターピロリ懸濁液の代わりに7.5%重炭酸ナトリウム緩衝液のみを0.5mlずつ経口投与した15匹のマウスを使用し、陽性対照群としては、ヘリコバクターピロリを7.5%重炭酸ナトリウム緩衝液に2〜4×109cfu/mlの濃度に懸濁して経口投与した15匹のマウスを使用した。
【0070】
1)予防効果
マウスに蘇葉熱水抽出物を飲用水に1mg/mlの濃度で混合して一日に1匹当たり10mlずつ14日間投与した後、7.5%重炭酸ナトリウム緩衝液に懸濁した2〜4×109cfu/mlのヘリコバクターピロリ菌液を2日間マウス当たり0.5mlずつ6回にわたり感染させた。感染6週後、各実験群の胃を摘出し、胃組織内のヘリコバクターピロリ生菌数とウレアーゼ活性有無を測定することで、ヘリコバクターピロリ感染に対する予防効果を確認した。
【0071】
2)治療効果
ヘリコバクターピロリを7.5%重炭酸ナトリウム緩衝液に2〜4×109cfu/mlの濃度に懸濁し、この菌液を2日間マウスに0.5mlずつ6回にわたり感染させた。ヘリコバクターピロリがマウスの胃内に完全に定着した感染6週後、蘇葉熱水抽出物を飲用水に1mg/mlの濃度で混合して1匹当たり1日に10mlずつ3週間投与した。投与後、各実験群の胃を摘出し、胃組織内のヘリコバクターピロリ生菌数とウレアーゼ活性を測定することで、ヘリコバクターピロリ感染に対する治療効果を確認した。
【0072】
3)胃組織内のヘリコバクターピロリ生菌数とウレアーゼ活性の測定
摘出した胃組織は、胃内固形分を除去した後、迅速に2等分して1/2は10%馬血清の添加されたブルセラブロスに浸漬させた後、均質化してブルセラ寒天板に分散させておいた。板は湿度の高い10%CO2培養器で37℃で5〜7日間培養した後、現れたコロニーを確認してヘリコバクターピロリの存在有無を確認する。残りの1/2はウレアブロスに浸漬させ、湿度の高い10%CO2培養器で37℃で5日間培養しつつ色の変化を観察してヘリコバクターピロリの存在有無を判断した。
【0073】
ヘリコバクターピロリの感染に対する蘇葉熱水抽出物の予防と治療効果を下記の表6に示した。陰性対照群の場合、感染6週後にもヘリコバクターピロリは全く感染しておらず、陽性対照群の場合は、感染6週後に100%ヘリコバクターピロリ感染率を示した。しかし、蘇葉熱水抽出物をまず投与してヘリコバクターピロリの感染を予防した場合、ヘリコバクターピロリのウレアーゼ活性の測定結果とウレアーゼ活性測定の結果、それぞれ92.5%と87.5%の予防率を示した。
【0074】
また、ヘリコバクターピロリをまず感染させた後、選択された乳酸菌を投与した治療の側面において、蘇葉熱水抽出物を投与した場合、生菌数とウレアーゼ活性の測定結果、それぞれ82.5%と80.0%の治療率を示した。
【0075】
したがって、ヘリコバクターピロリの感染に対して蘇葉熱水抽出物を使用すると、高い予防、治療効果が得られることを確認した。

実施例10
熱、pH及び消化酵素に対する安定性
蘇葉抽出物が実際胃内でヘリコバクターピロリを阻害するためには、胃内の消化酵素及び胃酸による酸性条件で安定性を維持しなければならない。また、発酵乳のような低酸性条件の食品への利用性を高めるためには、製品自体が低酸性条件で素材の活性が長時間維持されなければならない。また、食品又は薬品の製造工程上加わる熱処理条件でもその活性が維持されなければならない。したがって、蘇葉抽出物に対して熱、pH、消化酵素に対する安定性を確認した。
【0078】
1)熱安定性
蘇葉抽出物を5mg/mlの濃度で蒸留水に溶解し五つのキャップチューブ(cap tube)に移した。熱処理を行わない対照群を除くそれぞれのキャップチューブを60、80及び100℃で1時間ずつ、121℃で15分間処理し、各サンプルを0.45μm濾過膜で除菌した。除菌されたサンプルをディスク分散テスト(disc diffusion test)を用いて抗ヘリコバクターピロリ活性を測定した。
【0079】
2)pH安定性
蘇葉抽出物70mgを、pHをそれぞれ2.0、3.0、4.0、5.0に調製した酢酸ナトリウム緩衝液とpH7.0のPBS緩衝液6.0mlに溶かした後、酢酸と水酸化ナトリウムにてそれぞれのpHを合わせ、最終容積が7.0mlとなるようにした。緩衝溶液を37℃で2時間反応させた後、各サンプルを酢酸と水酸化ナトリウムでpH7に中和させて容積が10.0mlとなるようにした。濾過膜にて除菌した後、ディスク分散テストにより活性の変化を測定した。
【0080】
3)胃液安定性
胃液は4人の成人からそれぞれ食事後30、60、90、120分後、そして空腹状態で採取し冷凍させたものを解凍して使用した。胃液400μlの入ったテストチューブに100mg/mlの濃度で蒸留水に溶かした素材50μlを添加した。対照群は胃液の代わりにPBS緩衝液を使用した。各テストチューブを37℃の水浴で30分間反応させた後、5%炭酸ナトリウムでpH7に合わせた(最終容積、500μl)。各サンプルに対する活性変化をディスク分散テストで測定した。
【0081】
蘇葉抽出物をそれぞれの熱処理条件に置いた場合、図14に示すように、ヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性は対照群と比較して、変化がないものとして現れた。特に、121℃、15分の殺菌条件でも活性は全然減少しなかったので、蘇葉の活性は製品の生産工程上の加熱処理条件により影響を受けないことを確認した。
【0082】
また、pH安定性の場合、pH2〜5の条件で蘇葉抽出物の活性をpH7の条件で対照群と比較した結果、図15に示すように、蘇葉抽出物のヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性は全てのpH条件で安定した。
【0083】
胃液に対する蘇葉抽出物の安定性を各胃液サンプルと素材を30分間反応させた後、ヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性を確認した。表7に示すように、蘇葉抽出物の抗菌活性は胃液により全然影響を受けないことが分かり、このことは、実際の胃腸環境でも蘇葉抽出物がヘリコバクターピロリの増殖を抑制することができることを意味する。

乳酸菌に対する影響
蘇葉抽出物を発酵乳に添加する場合、蘇葉抽出物が有する抗菌活性が乳酸菌の生育には影響を及ぼさず、一方ヘリコバクターピロリにのみ選択的に作用できなければならない。
【0086】
発酵乳の種菌として使用されるラクトバシルス(乳酸菌)、ストレプトコッカス(連鎖球菌)、ビフィドバクテリウムに対する蘇葉抽出物の影響をつぎのように確認した。まず、ラクトバシルスアシドフィラス、ラクトバシルスカセイ、ストレプトコッカスサーモフィルス、ビフィドバクテリウムロンガム(Bifidobacterium longum)を12%スキムミルクに接種し37℃で9時間混合培養した。培養の完了後、それぞれの選択培地を用いて初期生菌数を測定した。蘇葉抽出物は減圧濃縮して60brix°の濃縮液を製造した後、1.0%(v/v)の濃度で乳酸菌培養液に添加した。蘇葉抽出物が添加された乳酸菌培養液を10日間4℃で冷蔵保管しながら2日間隔で各乳酸菌に対する選択培地を用いて生菌数を測定した。各乳酸菌に対する生菌数の測定条件は表8のようである。
【0087】
【表8】
Figure 0004888750
【0088】
乳酸菌培養液の初期生菌数はラクトバシルス5×106cfu/ml、ビフィドバクテリウム3×106cfu/ml、エス.サームフィリウス3.0×109cfu/mlであり、60brix°蘇葉抽出物1.0%(v/v)を乳酸菌培養液に添加し10日間冷蔵保管した後にも、それぞれの乳酸菌数が初期生菌数をそのまま維持していることを確認した。したがって、蘇葉抽出物のヘリコバクターピロリに対する抗菌活性は乳酸菌の影響がなく、ただヘリコバクターピロリに対してのみ選択性を持っていることを確認した。

蘇葉抽出物を用いる発酵乳の製造
脱脂粉乳で無脂乳固形分含有量を8〜20重量%に調整した原料乳を72〜75℃で15秒間殺菌した。殺菌された原料乳を一定温度に冷却した後、ラクトバシルスカセイHY 2782を106cfu/mlの濃度で接種し、培養液がpH4〜5となるまで37℃で培養し冷却させた。シロップは果汁濃縮液0.1〜50重量%、食餌繊維0.1〜20重量%、ブドウ糖0.5〜30重量%、オリゴ糖0.1〜15重量、カルシウム0.001〜10重量%、ビタミン0.0001〜5重量%、蘇葉抽出物0.1〜5重量%などを溶かして製造し殺菌してから冷却した。こうして製造されたシロップを前記培養液と一定割合で混合、撹拌して均質化した後、容器に包装して発酵乳を製造した。製造された発酵乳は官能検査の結果、風味、物性、全体的な味において良好な結果を示した。

More specifically, it has antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori known as a causative agent of gastritis and gastric ulcer. The present invention relates to a soy leaf extract effective for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcer, its use, and a process for obtaining berberine therefrom.

[Prior art]
Helicobacter pylori was isolated by Warren and Marshall in 1983 (Lancet, 1983, 1, 1273-1275) and then revealed to be the causative agent of gastritis and duodenal ulcer (J. Infect. Dis., 1990, 161, 626-633) Am. J. Med., 1991, 91, 566-572), currently recognized as one of the factors causing gastric cancer and is the subject of worldwide interest and research. Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative hepatobacterium that inhabits the junction between gastric mucosal epithelial cells, and has an optimum pH of 7.0 to 7.4 and grows under microaerobic conditions of 30 to 37 ° C. If the new conditions are not met or if environmental changes occur, a change to a coccoidal morphology is observed. There are flagella (flagella) etc. that enable strong urease production ability and the adhesion and movement to the gastric mucosa layer, which are the most typical features as the pathogenic factor, etc. Also, Vag A, Cag A, lipopolysaccharide, etc. Cytotoxins containing are being studied.
[0003]
Until now, prophylaxis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori has depended on various antibiotics represented by triple chemotherapy, but it still remains due to the emergence of resistant bacteria or the risk of recurrent disease due to continuous use. The limit is pointed out. In an effort to overcome this, immunological methods for vaccine development or approaches using lactic acid bacteria (J. Appl. Bacterial., 1995, 79, 475-479; J. Clin. Microbial., 1989, 27, 2328-2330) have been tried.
[0004]
Recently, efforts to find an active ingredient capable of suppressing Helicobacter pylori from various natural product materials have been continued. Ota and others have reported and reported various active substances from garlic extract (Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 1999, 43, 1811-1812), Mabe and others are catechins in green tea. The compound has been confirmed to inhibit Helicobacter pylori in vivo as well as in vitro (Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 1999, 43, 1788-1791). In addition, strong activity from Ibusuki Sou (J. Appl. Bacterial., 1996, 80, 667-672) or various flavonoids (Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug Res., 1995, 45, 697-700). Has been reported. In particular, recently, efforts to search for active plants from Kampo materials have been actively developed mainly in Japan and Korea (J. Trad. Med., 1995, 12, 129-136; 1997, 46, 49-53; Biol. Pharm. Bull., 1998, 21, 990-992).
[0005]
The present inventors tried to use the resuscitation used simultaneously for food and medicine for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcer. The soba (Perilla frucescens var. Acuta KUDO) is also referred to as shiso and has been used in Chinese medicine for sweating, hemostasis, cough suppression, wind (medium wind), analgesia, sedation, diuresis and the like. Soba is an annual grass belonging to Labiatae, and the flowers bloom in pale purple from August to September. In Japan, it is called “shiso” and occupies an important position as a spice and food coloring. Soba mainly contains a variety of anthocyanins, and many glucoside substances such as periloside have been reported (Phytochem., 1994, 37, 543-546; Phytochem., 1992, 31, 3265-3267). ).

Preferably, the amount of water added to the leaf is about 5 to 20 times the weight of the leaf, extracted with hot water at 80 to 120 ° C. for 6 to 15 hours, and concentrated under reduced pressure at 40 to 70 cmHg. Manufactured by.
[0015]
In Example 1 of the present invention, 150 g of reed leaves are placed in a heated circulation extraction tank, 1350 ml of water is added and extracted at 95 ° C. for 8 hours, then filtered through a filter cloth of 149 μm, and the pressure is reduced at 50 ° C. at 40 to 70 cmHg. By concentrating, 37 g of a 65-brix ° reef concentrate was obtained (see Example 1).
[0016]
Manufacture of soba solvent extract
The solvent extract is produced by adding a certain amount of ethanol to the soba leaf, extracting at a high temperature for a certain time, and then concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. Preferably, ethanol is added by approximately 5 to 20 times with respect to the weight of the leaf, extracted at 50 to 90 ° C. for 4 to 8 hours, and concentrated under reduced pressure at 40 to 70 cmHg.
[0017]
In Example 2 of the present invention, 1 kg of soba leaves are placed in a heated circulation type extraction tank, 10 kg of 50 to 70% ethanol is added and extracted at 55 to 85 ° C. for 4 to 15 hours, and then filtered through a 149 μm filter cloth. The extract with a solid content of 0.1 to 20% was obtained by concentration under reduced pressure at 40 to 70 cmHg. This was mixed with a co-solvent such as dextrin to obtain a soy solvent extract having a concentration of 10 to 70 brix ° (see Example 2).
[0018]
Isolation of berberine from soba
In order to separate berberine from Soba, distilled water (water) and an organic solvent are added to and mixed with the Soba extract, the organic solvent layer is removed, the aqueous layer is put into XAD-7 column chromatography, and acetone is added. And methanol are added to obtain an organic solvent eluate, and a fraction liquid is obtained from the organic solvent eluate by silica column chromatography, and berberine can be separated from the fraction liquid by preparative TLC (preparative TLC).
[0019]
Preferred examples of the organic solvent are chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate.
[0020]
A variety of natural products have been reported as secondary metabolites of soba, but there are no known substances with anti-Helicobacter pylori activity. The active substance was separated by various separation techniques. After the water-insoluble fraction was separated by organic solvent fractionation for the Soba extract, XAD-7 column chromatography was performed on the water-soluble fraction to remove a large amount of sugar components present in the aqueous layer. Thereafter, a single active ingredient can be obtained from the active fraction separated by a separation technique such as silica column chromatography and thin layer chromatography (TLC). The activity of the fractions obtained in each separation step was monitored by the inhibition ring method, and the degree of separation of the active substance was confirmed by TLC and HPLC analysis (see Example 3).
[0021]
Identification of berberine
By separating the active component as a single substance by chromatography, the structure of the active substance is confirmed by determining its structure by ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy) and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), and this structure is isoquinoline. It was identified as berberine, a family of alkaloid substances. [M] + was observed to be 336 by ESI-MS measurement, and the number of hydrogen and carbon was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. twenty one H twenty one NO Three It turns out that. In the following, the structural formula of the substance is confirmed from 2D-NMR experiments such as 1H-1H COSY, DEPT, HMQC, and HMBC and the FT-IR spectrum, and it is confirmed that such a result exactly matches the spectrum of the berberine standard substance. (See Example 4).
[0022]
Antibacterial activity
The antibacterial activity of Soba extract and its active ingredient berberine against Helicobacter pylori was confirmed in Helicobacter pylori agar and liquid medium, respectively. In the suppression ring measurement using an agar medium, the Soyo Extract could not form a suppression ring at a low concentration of 10 mg / ml or less, but it could form a suppression ring with a diameter of 18 mm at a concentration of 20 mg / ml. Observed. In the case of berberine, strong antibacterial activity was exhibited by forming a 25 mm inhibitory ring even at a low concentration of 2.0 mg / ml. By confirming the strong antibacterial activity of the Soba extract and berberine in the experiment, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract and berberine against Helicobacter pylori was measured through liquid culture of Helicobacter pylori. Materials with different concentrations were dissolved in a liquid medium by the 2-fold dilution method, and each medium was inoculated with bacteria, and then the growth inhibition of the bacteria was observed by measuring the number of viable bacteria, urease activity, and the degree of suspension of the bacteria. In all three measurement methods, it was observed that the material suppressed the growth of the fungus in a concentration-dependent manner, and it was determined that the leaf inhibitory extract and berberine had minimum inhibitory concentrations of 250 μg / ml and 12.5 μg / ml, respectively. (See Examples 5 and 6).
[0023]
Helicobacter pylori suppression effect in gastric colonization
In addition to the antibacterial activity, in order to observe the inhibitory effect of the soy extract on gastric epidermal cell colonization of Helicobacter pylori, materials were added to the AGS cell culture solution, which is gastric epithelial tumor cells, before and after inoculation with Helicobacter pylori. Thus, the suppression ability was measured by two methods of prevention and treatment. Prior to the Helicobacter pylori inoculation, the preventive effect measurement group to which the material was administered showed an effect of 98% at the material concentration of 2%, and a high effect of 60% or more at the 1% and 0.5% concentrations. In the treatment effect measurement group administered after inoculation of the material, the effect of 2% material concentration was 80%, 1% and 0.5% were observed to be 40% or more, but the inhibitory ability was lower than the preventive effect (See Example 7).
[0024]
Inhibition of interleukin-8 production induced by Helicobacter pylori infection
When the gastrointestinal and small intestinal epithelial cells are exposed to bacteria, they induce the production of cytokines, and the increase in such cytokines is known to cause an inflammatory response due to Helicobacter infection. In the case of Helicobacter pylori, interleukin-8 is known as a representative cytokine that activates neutrophils or macrophages in gastric epithelial cells. Therefore, the effect of the infection suppression by a raw material can be confirmed by the reduction | decrease of the production amount of interleukin-8 of the infected tissue cell. After infecting ALS cells with Helicobacter pylori, a 1% (w / v) concentration of soy extract was administered, and the amount of interleukin-8 produced was measured. It was observed that the production of 8 was reduced by 85% (see Example 8).
[0025]
Confirmation of Helicobacter pylori infection suppression effect by animal experiment
The prophylactic and therapeutic effects of the soba extract against Helicobacter pylori infection were confirmed in 4-week-old BALB / c mice. As a result, when the infection with Helicobacter pylori was prevented by first administering the Soba hot water extract, as a result of the measurement of urease activity and urease activity of Helicobacter pylori, the prevention rates were 92.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Indicated.
[0026]
In addition, in the aspect of treatment in which Helicobacter pylori was first infected and then administered with the selected lactic acid bacteria, when the soba hot water extract was administered, the results of the measurement of viable water and urease activity were 82.5% respectively. It showed a treatment rate of 80.0%.
[0027]
Therefore, it was confirmed that high preventive and therapeutic effects can be obtained by using the soba extract against Helicobacter pylori infection (see Example 9).
[0028]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples. However, the following examples do not limit the scope of the present invention, and ordinary changes can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
[0029]
Example 1
Hot water extraction of Soba
A hot water extract was produced from the soba leaves used both edible and medicinal. 150 g of soba was placed in a heated circulation extraction tank, and 1350 ml of water was added, followed by extraction at approximately 95 ° C. for 8 hours to obtain a crude extract. The crude extract was filtered through a filter cloth of 149 μm, and then concentrated under reduced pressure at 55 cmHg to obtain 37 g of a reed concentrate at 60 brix ° or higher.
[0030]
Example 2
Soyo solvent extraction
1 kg of soba leaves are placed in a heated circulation extraction tank, 10 kg of 60% ethanol is added and extracted at 60 ° C. for 10 hours, filtered through a filter cloth of 149 μm, and concentrated under reduced pressure at 55 cmHg to obtain an extract with a solid content of 10%. . This was mixed with a co-solvent such as dextrin to produce a crude drug concentrate having a concentration of 40 brix °.
[0031]
Example 3
Berberine separation from soba
In order to identify the anti-Helicobacter pylori active substance present in Soba, the single main active substance is obtained by sequentially performing a chromatographic technique on the Soyo extract produced in Example 1 as shown in FIG. separated. For the fractions separated at each separation step, the activity was confirmed by the inhibition ring method, and the degree of separation was observed by TLC and HPLC analysis.
[0032]
1) Confirmation of antibacterial activity by inhibition ring
The fraction to be confirmed for activity was dissolved in methanol at a constant concentration, and then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter. 20 μl of the filtrate was absorbed on a sterilized disc (BactoConcentration Disk, Difco, USA) and when the disc dried, 20 μl was further added dropwise and left under aseptic conditions until the solvent was completely removed. . After 24 to 48 hours of culture, Helicobacter pylori was smeared on Brucella agar medium, and a disk was placed on it. 2 The cells were cultured in an incubator at 37 ° C. for 72 hours. The activity of the fraction was confirmed by the size of the inhibition ring formed around the disk.
[0033]
2) Analysis of fractions
Analysis of the fractions was performed by TLC and HPLC. The TLC plate used was a Merck product (silica gel 60 F254, Germany). Developing solvent is CHCl Three /MeOH/AcOH=7:1:0.5 and toluene / CHCl Three = 1: 1 were used and confirmed by iodine vapor and UV (254 nm).
[0034]
The column used for the HPLC analysis was a Waters product (microbondapak, C18, 300 × 4.6 mm), and the mobile phase was water / MeOH at a flow rate of 1.0 ml / min. Analysis was performed at 285 nm and 20 μl was injected for analysis.
[0035]
3) Fractionation of water-soluble substances with organic solvents
Using the difference in solubility and polarity with respect to organic solvent, the substance in the sorghum extract was separated into an aqueous layer and an organic solvent layer. As a result of comparing four types of organic solvents, chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate, in order to select an appropriate organic solvent, 0.9% (w / w) of the substance moved in chloroform and dichloromethane, and the rest In the organic solvent, only 0.2% or less migrated. In addition, since dichloromethane is more harmful to human body than chloroform, chloroform is used and the extract is dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 20 mg / ml, and then the same volume of chloroform is separated by 2 in a separation funnel. Fractionation was performed to remove non-polar substances from the aqueous layer.
[0036]
4) XAD-7 column chromatography
The aqueous layer was filtered through a filter paper (Whatman No. 4) to remove precipitates, concentrated under reduced pressure, and distilled water was added again to produce an extraction solution having a concentration of 25 mg / ml. After filling Amberlite XAD-7 (Anonlite polymer adsorbent, Sigma Chemical Co.) into an open column, thoroughly wash with methanol and pour again 2 volumes of distilled water. Methanol was removed. After dropping an extract solution of 1:14 (dry extract weight / resin weight) to the resin, the column was eluted with distilled water 60 times the sample volume to remove water-soluble substances including saccharides. . Methanol of 80 times the sample volume was eluted again to obtain a water-insoluble substance, and finally, acetone was added to half the methanol volume and washed. As a result of confirming the acetone fraction and the methanol fraction by TLC, the same pattern was exhibited and the antibacterial activity was also at the same level, so the two fractions were combined.
[0037]
Table 1 below shows the results of quantitative measurement of antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori after concentration of each eluent under reduced pressure. It was confirmed that the antibacterial activity did not appear at all in the aqueous layer, and that all the activity was transferred to the organic solvent layer. After taking 1.0 ml each of the water-soluble fraction and methanol fraction obtained from the eluate, the phenol-sulfuric method (phenol-sulfuric method) is performed to determine the total equivalent amount in the two fractions. did. When the extract solution was eluted with XAD-7, the sugar content in the aqueous layer was 97.0 mg / L, and the sugar content of 2.9 mg / L was measured in the organic solvent layer. That is, 96% or more of sugars could be removed from the extract using an XAD-7 column.
[0038]
[Table 1]

[0039]
5) Silica column chromatography
After the organic solvent fraction that has passed through XAD-7 is dissolved in a small amount of methanol, a sufficient amount of celite (Yakuri, Japan) is poured, and all the methanol is removed with a vacuum concentrator to extract the extract into celite. Adsorbed. After packing glass wool into the column, Celite was packed thereon so that the surface was horizontal. Silica gel (Cat. No. 1.09385, Merck, Germany) was poured to a height of 8.0 cm and then packed in a vacuum by applying pressure for 20 minutes. After removing impurities by pouring 200 ml of acetone under reduced pressure, it was dried for 12 hours using an aspirator (aspirator). After the celite adsorbed with the soba extract is packed on a silica column, a chloroform / methanol solution in which the methanol ratio is gradually increased from 0% to 50% is eluted in order under reduced pressure, and then received in a tube. It was. As a result of confirming each fraction by TLC, it can be divided into 6 fractions. High activity was observed at 5.
[0040]
6) Preparative TLC
The active fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure and then adsorbed on the starting line of a TLC plate (Cat. No., 1.05744, Silica Gel 60 F254, 0.5 mm, Merck, Germany) and MeOH / CHCl. Three /AcOH=7:2:0.5. When the plate was observed at 280 nm, the values of Rf were 0.11 to 0.15, 0.15 to 0.21, 0.22 to 0.37, 0.37 to 0.64, and 0.69 to 0, respectively. After confirming five bands of .71, they were scratched with a scraper. The scraped silica was eluted with acetone and chloroform / MeOH (7: 1, v / v) solution to separate the adsorbed material. As a result of confirming the antibacterial activity, the activity appeared only in the fraction (Fr.5-M) having an Rf value of 0.15 to 0.21.

The number of viable cells was measured after 36 hours of culturing by taking 100 μl per medium from the plate, diluting it 103 times, and smearing it on a Brucella agar plate. 2 After culturing at 37 ° C. for 72 hours in an incubator, colonies of the bacteria that appeared were counted.
[0050]
2) Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by measuring urease activity
Urease activity is measured by taking 100 μl per medium and adding to 1.0 ml of urea R broth, which is added to 10% CO 2. 2 After culturing for 6 hours in an incubator, the absorbance was measured at 560 nm.
[0051]
3) Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by measuring cell suspension
The cell suspension was measured by transferring all broth from each medium to an Eppendorf tube after completion of the culture, and again washing the medium with 1.0 ml of distilled water. After centrifuging the tube at 12,000 × g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, the cell pellet was suspended in 400 μl of distilled water, 200 μl was taken, transferred to a 96 medium plate, and the absorbance was measured at 660 nm.
[0052]
Table 5 shows the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results obtained by measuring the number of viable bacteria for the antibacterial activity of Soba extract and berberine against Helicobacter pylori. In the case of the soba extract, it was confirmed that 2.0 × 10 8 cfu / ml of Helicobacter pylori was completely blocked at a concentration of 1,000 μg / ml or more. In the case of berberine, Helicobacter pylori at a concentration of 25 μg / ml or more. It was confirmed that 50% or more was blocked even at a concentration of 12.5 μg / ml.

FIG. 10 shows the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) result according to the degree of inhibition of Helicobacter pyloriurease activity by the soba extract and berberine. As shown in the figure, in order to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each material against Helicobacter pylori, the activity of urease was measured with R broth after 60 hours of Helicobacter pylori culture.
[0055]
As shown in FIG. 10, in the case of the soya extract, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measured by the urease analysis test was determined to be 250 mg / ml, which is different from the previous experimental result of 100 mg / ml. Represents. This is explained by expressing the difference according to the difference in culture time (48 hr vs. 60 hr) and the measurement method (Viable cell counting vs. urea assay) during measurement. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of berberine was determined to be 12.5 μg / ml. DMSO, used as a solvent for berberine, can also be seen to affect cell growth at high concentrations, but there is no inhibitory effect at low concentrations where the fraction activity is still present, so minimal inhibition of the fraction It can be seen that the determination of concentration (MIC) has no effect.
[0056]
The determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) based on the degree of cell suspension was determined by measuring the degree of growth inhibition after 60 hours after cultivating with the leaf extract and berberine based on the degree of cell suspension. It is as shown in. The soba extract exhibited complete antibacterial activity up to a concentration of 0.5 mg / ml and 50 and 30% inhibition rates at concentrations of 250 and 125 mg / ml, respectively. This result is considered to be consistent with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (100 μg / ml) previously confirmed by viable counts. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of berberine was 12.5 μg / ml, which was the same as the result in the urease analysis test.

Helicobacter pylori suppression effect in gastric colonization
The inhibitory effect of Helicobacter pylori on gastric colonization was confirmed from the viewpoint of preventive treatment as follows.
[0058]
A. Measurement of preventive effect
After attaching AGS cells (AGS cell, 106 cfu / well) to the 6-medium plate, each material and RPMI 1640 (10% FBS) medium were added and incubated for 3 hours. Helicobacter pylori was ingested at a concentration of 107 cells / well and incubated again for 1 hour. After washing three times with a plate shaker, 1.0 ml of sterile distilled water was added and reacted for 1 hour to lyse (elute) AGS cells. Cells were collected and centrifuged, and 1.0 ml of urea R broth was added to the cells and allowed to react at 37 ° C. for 1 hour. D (560 nm) was measured.
[0059]
B. Treatment (Treatment)
After AGS cells (106 cells / well) were attached to 6 medium plates, Helicobacter pylori was inoculated with 107 cfu / well (0.1 ml) and incubated for 3 hours. 0.2 ml of raw material and 2.7 ml of RPMI 1640 (10% FBS) medium were added and allowed to react for 1 hour. After washing three times with a plate shaker, 1.0 ml of sterile distilled water was added and AGS cells were lysed (eluted) for 1 hour. Cells were collected and centrifuged, and 1.0 ml of urea R broth was added to the cell pellet and allowed to react at 37 ° C. for 1 hour. D (560 nm) was measured.
[0060]
FIG. 12 shows the results of adding the Soba extract to the AGS cell medium before and after inoculation with Helicobacter pylori and measuring the adhesion inhibition rate. As shown in the figure, when 0.5%, 1%, and 2% were added, in the experimental groups with different concentrations, the group that administered resuscitation before Helicobacter pylori infection was more effective than the group that received resuscitation after infection. It was found to show high activity. In particular, the prevention and treatment groups showed high inhibitory effects of 98% and 82% at 2%, and it was shown that there was no significant difference in activity at concentrations below that.
[0061]
Example 8
Inhibition of interleukin-8 production induced by Helicobacter pylori infection
The infection inhibitory effect of the soba extract was measured by changing the amount of interleukin-8 produced in gastric epithelial cells induced by Helicobacter pylori infection.
[0062]
First, Helicobacter pylori cultured on an agar medium was washed with 10 ml of PBS buffer, and then centrifuged at 4 ° C. and 9,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The precipitated cells were suspended in 1 ml of Hank's solution F12 medium, a small amount of the suspension was taken and diluted 1:50, and then the degree of suspension was measured at 660 nm and the concentration was adjusted to the experimental conditions as follows. .
[0063]
Cell concentration (cell population) = 16.95 x A660 x (dilution factor) x 108 / ml Helicobacter pylori = 1.084 x 16.95 x 50 x 108 = 9.18 x 108
The AGS culture solution was divided into 4 groups of A, B, C, and D and treated twice. Group A was a group in which only AGS was cultured, and Group B and Group C were each treated with AGS extract only with a soy extract and Helicobacter pylori. In group D, the leaf extract extracted in the medium was added to 1% (w / v), and 1 hour later, 100 μl of Helicobacter pylori suspension was added again at 7.5 × 10 8 cfu / ml. From all groups, the culture medium was taken at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 9 hours after culturing, centrifuged at 4 ° C. and 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes, and the supernatant was collected, followed by the Eliza method (Quantikine ™ Human IL-8). (Immunoassay kit, R & D System Europe Ltd.). The amount of interleukin-8 was measured.
[0064]
A: Control group
B: Soyo extract treatment group
C: Helicobacter pylori treatment group
D: Soyo extract + Helicobacter pylori treatment group
1) Sampling
After collecting the medium in the plate medium, it was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes at 4 ° C. The supernatant was transferred to an Eppendorf tube and stored at -70 ° C.
[0065]
2) Standard solution
2.0 ml of RD5P (5 ×) W. Then, 5.0 ml was taken and added to an IL-8 standard solution vial to produce a 2,000 pg / ml stock. A 100 μl standard solution of 8 concentrations was prepared by 2-fold dilution.
[0066]
3) Analytical test (Assay)
100 μl of assay diluent (RD1-8) was placed in the plate medium, and 50 μl of sample and standard solution were added. After adding 100 μl of the conjugate solution, the mixture was shaken at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The plate was washed 6 times with 400 μl of washing buffer, and 200 μl of a substrate solution in which reagent A and reagent B were mixed 1: 1 respectively was added thereto. After the plate was placed for 30 minutes, the absorbance was observed at 492 nm while observing the color change.
[0067]
When Helicobacter pylori interacts with epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, it will promote the production of various cytokines, among which the secretion of IL-8 is most prominent. And IL-8 induces to neutrophils or macrophages which are the direct cause of gastritis. Therefore, suppressing the production of IL-8 induced by Helicobacter pylori infection can be one method for suppressing the occurrence of gastritis.
[0068]
FIG. 13 shows changes in the production amount of interleukin-8 in the four groups depending on the culture time. In the group not infected with Helicobacter pylori (groups A and B), there was almost no production of interleukin-8 even after 9 hours, but in the group infected with Helicobacter pylori (group C), it suddenly reached 6 hours. The amount of interleukin-8 was maintained at approximately 2,500 pg / ml level thereafter. On the other hand, when AGS was cultured for 1 hour with the soy extract and then infected with Helicobacter pylori (group D), the amount of interleukin-8 produced was markedly reduced to about 300 pg / ml even after 9 hours of culture. It appeared to remain at the 15% level of Group C. Therefore, it was confirmed that the incidence of gastritis was reduced by reducing the production amount of interleukin-8 induced and produced by Helicobacter pylori infection by about 85%.
[0069]
Example 9
Confirmation of prevention and treatment effect of Helicobacter pylori infection by animal experiments
The prevention and treatment effect of the soy extract against Helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed by mice. The BALB / c mice used in the experiment were selected and used only in mice that do not have Helicobacterferis, which is present in the gastrointestinal tract of mice and exhibits urease activity. The BALB / c mice used were 4 week old females, 40 per prevention and treatment group were used, and 20 per group for positive and negative control groups. The mice were tested while being reared at 25 ° C., 50% humidity and SPF conditions. At this time, as a negative control group, 15 mice that were orally administered with 0.5% sodium bicarbonate buffer alone in place of Helicobacter pylori suspension were used, and as a positive control group, Fifteen mice orally administered with Helicobacter pylori suspended in 7.5% sodium bicarbonate buffer at a concentration of 2-4 × 10 9 cfu / ml were used.
[0070]
1) Preventive effect
The mouse was mixed with the hot spring extract of soba at a concentration of 1 mg / ml in drinking water and administered 10 ml per mouse for 14 days, then suspended in 7.5% sodium bicarbonate buffer. 4 × 10 9 cfu / ml Helicobacter pylori solution was infected 6 times with 0.5 ml per mouse for 2 days. Six weeks after infection, the stomach of each experimental group was removed, and the preventive effect against Helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed by measuring the number of living Helicobacter pylori and the presence or absence of urease activity in the stomach tissue.
[0071]
2) Therapeutic effect
Helicobacter pylori was suspended in 7.5% sodium bicarbonate buffer at a concentration of 2-4 × 10 9 cfu / ml, and the bacterial solution was infected 6 times with 0.5 ml of mice for 2 days. Six weeks after infection, when Helicobacter pylori was completely established in the stomach of the mouse, the Soba hot water extract was mixed with drinking water at a concentration of 1 mg / ml and administered at 10 ml per mouse for 3 weeks. After administration, the stomach of each experimental group was removed, and the therapeutic effect on Helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed by measuring the number of viable Helicobacter pylori and urease activity in the stomach tissue.
[0072]
3) Measurement of viable Helicobacter pylori and urease activity in stomach tissue
The removed stomach tissue is quickly divided into two parts after removing the solid content in the stomach, and 1/2 is immersed in Brucella broth supplemented with 10% horse serum, then homogenized and dispersed on Brucella agar plates. I was allowed to. The board is 10% CO with high humidity 2 After culturing at 37 ° C. for 5 to 7 days in an incubator, the appearing colonies are confirmed to confirm the presence or absence of Helicobacter pylori. The other half is immersed in urea broth, and the humidity is 10% CO2. 2 While culturing at 37 ° C. for 5 days in an incubator, the color change was observed to determine the presence or absence of Helicobacter pylori.
[0073]
Table 6 below shows the preventive and therapeutic effects of the soba hot water extract against Helicobacter pylori infection. In the case of the negative control group, Helicobacter pylori was not infected at all even 6 weeks after the infection, and in the case of the positive control group, a 100% Helicobacter pylori infection rate was exhibited 6 weeks after the infection. However, when infection with Helicobacter pylori was prevented by first administering the Soba hot water extract, the results of measurement of urease activity and measurement of urease activity of Helicobacter pylori were 92.5% and 87.5%, respectively. showed that.
[0074]
In addition, in the aspect of treatment in which Helicobacter pylori was first infected and then administered with a selected lactic acid bacterium, when the soba hot water extract was administered, the measurement results of viable cell count and urease activity were 82.5%, respectively. It showed a treatment rate of 80.0%.
[0075]
Therefore, it was confirmed that a high preventive and therapeutic effect can be obtained by using the Soba hot water extract against Helicobacter pylori infection.

Example 10
Stability to heat, pH and digestive enzymes
In order for the Soba extract to actually inhibit Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, it must remain stable under acidic conditions due to digestive enzymes and gastric acid in the stomach. Moreover, in order to improve the utilization to the food of low acid conditions like fermented milk, the product itself must maintain the activity of a raw material for a long time in low acid conditions. Moreover, the activity must be maintained even under heat treatment conditions applied in the production process of food or medicine. Therefore, heat, pH, and stability against digestive enzymes were confirmed for the soya extract.
[0078]
1) Thermal stability
The soya extract was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 5 mg / ml and transferred to five cap tubes. Each cap tube except the control group not subjected to heat treatment was treated at 60, 80 and 100 ° C. for 1 hour at 121 ° C. for 15 minutes, and each sample was sterilized with a 0.45 μm filter membrane. The sterilized sample was measured for anti-Helicobacter pylori activity using a disc dispersion test.
[0079]
2) pH stability
70 mg of the soy extract was dissolved in sodium acetate buffer adjusted to pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 ml PBS buffer pH 7.0, and then acetic acid and The pH was adjusted with sodium hydroxide so that the final volume was 7.0 ml. After the buffer solution was reacted at 37 ° C. for 2 hours, each sample was neutralized to pH 7 with acetic acid and sodium hydroxide so that the volume became 10.0 ml. After sterilization with a filter membrane, the change in activity was measured by a disk dispersion test.
[0080]
3) Gastric fluid stability
The gastric juices were collected from four adults at 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes after meals, and frozen and collected after hunger. 50 μl of a material dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 100 mg / ml was added to a test tube containing 400 μl of gastric juice. In the control group, PBS buffer was used instead of gastric juice. Each test tube was reacted in a 37 ° C. water bath for 30 minutes and then adjusted to pH 7 with 5% sodium carbonate (final volume, 500 μl). The change in activity for each sample was measured by a disk dispersion test.
[0081]
As shown in FIG. 14, when the soya extract was placed under each heat treatment condition, the antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori appeared to be unchanged compared to the control group. In particular, since the activity did not decrease at all even under sterilization conditions at 121 ° C. for 15 minutes, it was confirmed that the activity of the leaf was not affected by the heat treatment conditions in the product production process.
[0082]
In addition, in the case of pH stability, as a result of comparing the activity of the soba extract with the control group under the condition of pH 2 to 5 under the condition of pH 2 to 5, as shown in FIG. Stable at all pH conditions.
[0083]
The stability of the soy extract against gastric juice was reacted with each gastric juice sample for 30 minutes, and then the antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori was confirmed. As shown in Table 7, it can be seen that the antibacterial activity of the soy extract is not affected at all by the gastric juice, which means that the soy extract can suppress the growth of Helicobacter pylori even in the actual gastrointestinal environment. Means.

Example 11
Effects on lactic acid bacteria
When adding a soba extract to fermented milk, the antibacterial activity of the soba extract must not affect the growth of lactic acid bacteria, but must be able to selectively act only on Helicobacter pylori.
[0086]
The effect of the soba extract on Lactobacillus (lactic acid bacteria), Streptococcus (Streptococcus), and Bifidobacterium used as seeds for fermented milk was confirmed as follows. First, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Bifidobacterium longum were inoculated into 12% skim milk and mixed and cultured at 37 ° C. for 9 hours. After completion of the culture, the initial viable cell count was measured using each selective medium. The soy extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to produce a 60-brix ° concentrate, and then added to the lactic acid bacteria culture solution at a concentration of 1.0% (v / v). The number of viable bacteria was measured using a selective medium for each lactic acid bacterium at intervals of 2 days while refrigerated and storing the lactic acid bacterium culture solution to which the soy extract was added at 4 ° C. for 10 days. Table 8 shows the measurement conditions for the number of viable bacteria for each lactic acid bacterium.
[0087]
[Table 8]
Figure 0004888750
[0088]
The initial viable cell count of the lactic acid bacteria culture solution was Lactobacillus 5 × 10 6 cfu / ml, Bifidobacterium 3 × 10 6 cfu / ml, The number of lactic acid bacteria was initial viable even after adding 30% sac fillius 3.0 × 10 9 cfu / ml and 60% brix ° sorghum extract 1.0% (v / v) to the lactic acid bacteria culture solution and refrigerated for 10 days. It was confirmed that the number of bacteria was maintained as it was. Therefore, it was confirmed that the antibacterial activity of the Soba extract against Helicobacter pylori was not affected by lactic acid bacteria, but only selective against Helicobacter pylori.
[0089]
