Description

本発明は、ペプチドに関する。また、本発明は、炎症性腸疾患の予防又は治療剤、大腸がんの治療剤に関する。 The present invention relates to peptides. The present invention also relates to a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for inflammatory bowel disease and a therapeutic agent for colorectal cancer.

潰瘍性大腸炎やクローン病を代表とする炎症性腸疾患(Inflammatory bowel disease:以下IBD)は原因不明の慢性再燃性消化管炎症疾患である。近年、IBDの病態における免疫機構や腸内細菌の関与などが明らかとなっており、それらを標的とする様々な治療が提唱されている。その治療効果の目標は臨床的寛解ではなく、内視鏡的に確認する「粘膜治癒」が重要であり粘膜治癒が得られれば、臨床的寛解の維持、手術率の低下につながることが示されている。IBDに対しては近年多くの治療薬が臨床応用されており、治療成績も向上しているが、同時に治療抵抗性で手術を余儀なくされる症例も依然として多く存在している。また、炎症性腸疾患の患者数は年々増加の一途をたどっており、内科治療に抵抗性で手術にいたる症例も増加している。したがって、既存の内科治療に加え、粘膜治癒を促すことによる長期寛解維持効果を発揮する治療の開発が急務である。 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), represented by ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic relapsed gastrointestinal inflammatory disease of unknown cause. In recent years, the immune system and the involvement of intestinal bacteria in the pathophysiology of IBD have been clarified, and various treatments targeting them have been proposed. It has been shown that the goal of the therapeutic effect is not clinical remission, but endoscopically confirmed "mucosal healing" is important, and if mucosal healing is obtained, it will lead to maintenance of clinical remission and reduction of surgical rate. ing. In recent years, many therapeutic agents have been clinically applied to IBD, and the treatment results have improved, but at the same time, there are still many cases in which surgery is unavoidable due to treatment resistance. In addition, the number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease is steadily increasing year by year, and the number of patients who are resistant to medical treatment and undergo surgery is also increasing. Therefore, in addition to the existing medical treatments, there is an urgent need to develop a treatment that exerts a long-term remission maintenance effect by promoting mucosal healing.

一方、進行した大腸癌に対しては分子標的薬の開発などで治療効果は向上しているが、いまだに死亡率は増加傾向にある。進行大腸癌に対する内科治療は、複数の治療を繰り返して実施する過程で治療抵抗性を示し、治療の継続が不可能になってしまう。したがって、既存の抗癌剤治療に加え、別のメカニズムによる大腸癌化学療法の開発が急務である。 On the other hand, for advanced colorectal cancer, the therapeutic effect has been improved by the development of molecular-targeted drugs, but the mortality rate is still on the rise. Medical treatment for advanced colorectal cancer shows resistance to treatment in the process of repeatedly performing a plurality of treatments, making it impossible to continue the treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop colorectal cancer chemotherapy by another mechanism in addition to the existing anticancer drug treatment.

本発明は、炎症性腸疾患、大腸がんの治療薬を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a therapeutic agent for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
