Description
本発明は、グルタチオン産生促進剤、グルタチオンの欠乏に起因する疾患の予防・治療剤及び飲食品に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a glutathione production promoter, a preventive / therapeutic agent for diseases caused by deficiency of glutathione, and food and drink.
グルタチオンは、グルタミン酸、システイン、グリシンの3つのアミノ酸からなるトリペプチドであり、細胞内の主要なシステイン残基を有する化合物である。このグルタチオンは、細胞内においてラジカルの捕捉、酸化還元による細胞機能の調節、解毒機構への関与及び各種酵素のSH供与体等としての役割を果たすことが知られている。 Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids, glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, and is a compound having a major cysteine residue in the cell. This glutathione is known to play a role as a SH donor for various enzymes, such as radical scavenging, regulation of cell function by redox, involvement in detoxification mechanisms, and various enzymes.
このような役割を果たすグルタチオンの細胞内濃度が低下すると、紫外線曝露による細胞傷害、炎症、黒色化、シミ又はソバカスの生成、急性又は慢性アルコール肝障害、肝臓病、慢性腎不全、喫煙等が要因の肺疾患、特発性肺線維症、白内障、虚血性心疾患、パーキンソン病、アルツハイマー病、胃潰瘍、成人呼吸器障害症候群、免疫不全、骨髄形成不全、後天性免疫不全症候群、潜伏性ウイルス感染症、生理学的な加齢に伴う老化現象、及び癌化等の病状が引き起こされることが知られている。このようなグルタチオンの細胞内濃度の低下によって引き起こされる病状の治療には、従来、細胞内グルタチオン濃度の低下した細胞にグルタチオンを取り込ませることを目的として、グルタチオンを含有するグルタチオン製剤が用いられていた(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、グルタチオン製剤の経口摂取による治療は、治療対象部位によっては思うような効果が期待できず、また、グルタチオン製剤の静脈注射による治療は、経口摂取による治療より効果は期待できるものの、痛みを伴うこと、通院が必要なこと等の問題を抱えていた。 When the intracellular concentration of glutathione that plays such a role decreases, factors such as cytotoxicity due to UV exposure, inflammation, blackening, generation of spots or freckles, acute or chronic alcohol liver injury, liver disease, chronic renal failure, smoking, etc. Lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cataract, ischemic heart disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, gastric ulcer, adult respiratory dysfunction syndrome, immunodeficiency, myelogenesis deficiency, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, latent viral infection, It is known that pathological conditions such as aging and canceration accompanying physiological aging are caused. In the treatment of pathological conditions caused by such a decrease in glutathione intracellular concentration, a glutathione-containing preparation containing glutathione has been conventionally used for the purpose of incorporating glutathione into cells having a decreased intracellular glutathione concentration. (See Patent Document 1). However, treatment with oral ingestion of glutathione preparations cannot be expected to be effective depending on the site to be treated, and treatment with intravenous injection of glutathione preparations is expected to be more effective than treatment with oral ingestion, but is painful And had problems such as the need to visit the hospital.
したがって、生体内細胞におけるグルタチオンの産生を促進することにより細胞内グルタチオン濃度を上昇させることができれば、加齢により衰える酸化ストレスに対する防御能を高めるとともに、紫外線の照射による酸化ストレスに対する傷害を抑制することにつながり、皮膚の老化、シミ等の色素沈着症の予防、治療又は改善が期待できるとともに、グルタチオンの欠乏によって起こる各種臓器の機能低下や種々の疾患の予防又は治療が期待できると考えられる。このような考えに基づき、グルタチオン産生促進作用を有するものとして、ビルベリー抽出物及びウォルナット抽出物(特許文献2参照)、クチナシ属植物の抽出物(特許文献3参照)等が知られている。 Therefore, if the intracellular glutathione concentration can be increased by promoting the production of glutathione in cells in vivo, the ability to protect against oxidative stress that declines with aging will be enhanced and the damage to oxidative stress caused by ultraviolet irradiation will be suppressed. Therefore, it is expected that the prevention, treatment or improvement of pigmentation diseases such as aging of skin and spots, and the prevention or treatment of various organ functions and various diseases caused by deficiency of glutathione are expected. Based on this idea, bilberry extract and walnut extract (see Patent Document 2), gardenia plant extract (see Patent Document 3), and the like are known as having glutathione production promoting action.
また、生体内において、グルタチオンは、活性酸素種を除去する作用を有する還元型グルタチオン、及び還元型グルタチオンと活性酸素種との反応により生産される酸化型グルタチオンとして存在する。近年、この酸化型グルタチオンが、神経細胞の興奮を抑制し、睡眠を促進する睡眠促進物質であることが確認されている。そのため、グルタチオンの産生を促進し、還元型グルタチオンのみならず、酸化型グルタチオンの細胞内濃度をも上昇させることができれば、不眠症等の睡眠障害の予防、治療又は改善に有効であると考えられている。このような考えに基づき、従来、酸化型グルタチオンを有効成分とする催眠剤が知られている(特許文献4参照)。 In vivo, glutathione exists as reduced glutathione having an action of removing reactive oxygen species, and oxidized glutathione produced by the reaction of reduced glutathione and reactive oxygen species. In recent years, it has been confirmed that this oxidized glutathione is a sleep promoting substance that suppresses excitation of nerve cells and promotes sleep. Therefore, if it is possible to promote the production of glutathione and increase the intracellular concentration of oxidized glutathione as well as reduced glutathione, it is considered effective for the prevention, treatment or improvement of sleep disorders such as insomnia. ing. Based on such an idea, a hypnotic agent containing oxidized glutathione as an active ingredient has been known (see Patent Document 4).
生体細胞においては、γ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼの作用により、システインとグルタミン酸とが反応してγ−グルタミルシステインが生合成され、グルタチオンシンテターゼの作用により、γ−グルタミルシステインとグリシンとが反応してグルタチオンが生合成されることが知られている。そのため、グルタチオンの前駆体であるγ−グルタミルシステインを生合成するための触媒的役割を果たすγ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼの発現を促進することで、生体細胞内グルタチオン濃度を上昇させることができると考えられる。
本発明は、安全性の高い天然物の中からグルタチオン産生促進作用及びγ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼmRNA発現促進作用を有するものを見出し、それを有効成分とするグルタチオン産生促進剤を提供することを目的とする。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a glutathione production promoter having an activity of promoting glutathione production and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA expression among highly safe natural products and using it as an active ingredient. To do.
上記課題を解決するために、本発明のグルタチオン産生促進剤及びグルタチオンの欠乏に起因する疾患の予防・治療剤は、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAからなる群より選ばれる1種又は2種以上を有効成分として含有することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, the glutathione production promoter of the present invention and the prophylactic / therapeutic agent for diseases caused by glutathione deficiency are selected from the group consisting of liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A. 1 type or 2 types or more are contained as an active ingredient, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

後述する実施例において示されるように、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、皮膚線維芽細胞及び表皮角化細胞におけるグルタチオンの産生を効果的に促進することができるため、これらの化合物を含有するグルタチオン産生促進剤によれば、皮膚線維芽細胞及び表皮角化細胞内で活性酸素種を消去することができ、皮膚線維芽細胞及び表皮角化細胞を酸化的ストレスによる傷害等から保護することができ、結果として、皮膚の老化等を効果的に防止することができる。 As shown in the examples described later, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A can effectively promote the production of glutathione in dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes, According to the glutathione production promoter containing these compounds, reactive oxygen species can be eliminated in skin fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes, and skin fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes are damaged by oxidative stress. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent skin aging and the like.
また、グルタチオンがチロシナーゼの成熟化を抑制する作用を有していることから、グルタチオンの産生を促進することによってチロシナーゼの成熟化をより抑制することができ、メラノサイトにおけるメラニンの生成を抑制することができる。そのため、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAからなる群より選ばれる1種又は2種以上を含有するグルタチオン産生促進剤によれば、メラノサイトにおけるグルタチオンの産生を効果的に促進し、チロシナーゼの成熟化をより抑制することができるため、結果として、皮膚色素沈着症、皮膚の黒化、シミ、ソバカス等を予防することができる。 In addition, since glutathione has an action of suppressing tyrosinase maturation, it is possible to further suppress tyrosinase maturation by promoting the production of glutathione and to suppress the production of melanin in melanocytes. it can. Therefore, according to the glutathione production promoter containing one or more selected from the group consisting of liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A, it effectively promotes the production of glutathione in melanocytes. Since tyrosinase maturation can be further suppressed, skin pigmentation, skin darkening, spots, buckwheat, and the like can be prevented as a result.
さらに、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、肝細胞におけるグルタチオンの産生を効果的に促進することができるため、これらの化合物を含有するグルタチオン産生促進剤は、グルタチオンの欠乏に起因する肝臓疾患を効果的に予防・治療することができる。 Furthermore, since liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A can effectively promote glutathione production in hepatocytes, glutathione production promoters containing these compounds are deficient in glutathione. It is possible to effectively prevent and treat liver diseases caused by the disease.

Detection was performed by real-time 2 Step RT-PCR reaction using TaKaRa SYBR PrimeScript RT-PCR Kit (Perfect Real Time, code No. RR063A) using a real-time PCR device Smart Cycler (Cepheid). The expression level of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA is corrected with the value of the expression level of GAPDH mRNA in the same sample, and then the correction value of “when no sample is added” is set to 100 ”Was calculated, and then the expression promotion rate (%) of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA was calculated based on the following formula.
mRNA発現促進率(%)=B/A×100
式中、Aは「試料無添加時のmRNA発現量(対照)」を表し、Bは「試料添加時のmRNA発現量」を表す。
結果を表7に示す。
mRNA expression promotion rate (%) = B / A × 100
In the formula, A represents “mRNA expression level when no sample is added (control)” and B represents “mRNA expression level when sample is added”.
The results are shown in Table 7.
表7に示すように、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、いずれも肝細胞においてγ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼmRNAの発現を効果的に促進し得ることが確認された。 As shown in Table 7, it was confirmed that all of liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A can effectively promote the expression of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA in hepatocytes.
上述した試験例1〜4から明らかなように、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、いずれも優れたグルタチオン産生促進作用を有している。また、試験例5〜7から明らかなように、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、いずれも優れたγ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼmRNA発現促進作用を有している。このことから、リクイリチン、リクイリチゲニン、イソリクイリチン、イソリクイリチゲニン及びリコカルコンAは、γ−グルタミルシステインシンテターゼmRNA発現促進作用を通じて、グルタチオンの前駆体であるγ−グルタミルシステインの生合成を促進し、それにより生体内でのグルタチオンの産生を促進しているものと推察される。 As is clear from Test Examples 1 to 4 described above, all of liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A have an excellent glutathione production promoting action. Further, as is clear from Test Examples 5 to 7, all of liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A have an excellent γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA expression promoting action. From this, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and lycochalcone A promote the biosynthesis of γ-glutamylcysteine, which is a precursor of glutathione, through the action of promoting γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase mRNA expression. It is presumed that the production of glutathione in vivo is promoted.
