Description
本発明は、マメ科植物であるイナゴマメ(Ceratonia siliqua L.)から分離、精製して得られる新規な多糖類及びその用途に関し、さらに、この新規多糖類の製造方法に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a novel polysaccharide obtained by separating and purifying Ceratonia siliqua L., a leguminous plant, and uses thereof, and further to a method for producing the novel polysaccharide.
イナゴマメ(Ceratonia siliqua L.)は、主に地中海地方を原産とするマメ科植物である。イナゴマメの種子からは、ガラクトマンナン多糖類のローカストビーンガムが得られ、増粘剤やゲル化剤などの食品添加物として利用されている。また、イナゴマメの莢果、すなわち、イナゴマメの莢及び果肉はキャロブ(carob)と呼ばれ、古くから食用又は食品原料として利用されてきた。成熟した莢果は長さ10~25cm程度で、甘味を呈する。イナゴマメの莢果には、多糖類、セルロース及びミネラル類が多く含まれ、タンパク質や非炭水化物系の低分子化合物等が少量含まれている。 Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a leguminous plant mainly native to the Mediterranean region. Locust bean gum, which is a galactomannan polysaccharide, is obtained from carob seeds, and is used as a food additive such as a thickening agent and a gelling agent. In addition, carob pods, that is, carob pods and pulp, are called carob, and have long been used as food or food ingredients. Mature pods are about 10-25 cm long and have a sweet taste. Carob pods contain large amounts of polysaccharides, cellulose and minerals, and small amounts of proteins and non-carbohydrate low-molecular-weight compounds.
近年、イナゴマメの莢果の新たな機能に関する研究が進められており、イナゴマメの莢果(pod)の水抽出物が、消化管における止瀉、抗酸化、抗菌、抗潰瘍及び抗炎症作用等の複数の薬理作用を有し、潰瘍性大腸炎や胃潰瘍などの消化器疾患の予防及び治療効果を有することが報告されている。また、イナゴマメの莢果から分離されたポリフェノール化合物、フェニルプロパノイド化合物及びイソフラボン化合物がそれぞれ所定の薬理作用を奏する活性成分であることが報告されているが、イナゴマメの莢果に含まれる多糖類に関する研究はこれまでほとんどなされていなかった。 In recent years, research on new functions of carob pods has been progressing, and aqueous extracts of carob pods have multiple effects such as antidiarrheal, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiulcer and anti-inflammatory effects in the gastrointestinal tract. It has been reported that it has a pharmacological effect and has preventive and therapeutic effects on gastrointestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis and gastric ulcer. It has also been reported that polyphenol compounds, phenylpropanoid compounds and isoflavone compounds isolated from carob pods are active ingredients exhibiting specific pharmacological actions. Very little has been done so far.
他方、メタボリックシンドローム(MetS)とは、内臓脂肪型肥満をベースとして、高血圧、高血糖及び脂質代謝異常といった危険因子が集積した病態のことをいい、高血圧症、糖尿病、動脈硬化性疾患及び心血管疾患のリスク増加と強く関連することが知られている。しかしながら、今のところ、メタボリックシンドロームを統合的に治療できる医薬品はなく、メタボリックシンドロームに対する治療は、高血圧症、糖尿病又は脂質異常症といった個々の疾病や病態に応じた薬物療法のほか、運動や食生活の改善、減量が実施されているのみである。そのため、メタボリックシンドロームを統合的に治療、改善又は予防できる薬剤が期待されている。そして、イナゴマメの莢果をメタボリックシンドロームの統合的な予防、改善又は治療のために用いることについての検討はこれまでなされておらず、その有効性はまったく不明であった。 Metabolic syndrome (MetS), on the other hand, is based on visceral fat obesity and refers to a condition in which risk factors such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia are accumulated. It is known to be strongly associated with an increased risk of disease. However, at present, there are no drugs that can treat metabolic syndrome in an integrated manner, and treatment for metabolic syndrome consists of drug therapy according to individual diseases and conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, as well as exercise and dietary habits. Only improvement and weight reduction are being implemented. Therefore, a drug that can comprehensively treat, improve, or prevent metabolic syndrome is expected. Further, no study has been made so far on using carob pods for the integrated prevention, improvement or treatment of metabolic syndrome, and the effectiveness thereof has been completely unknown.
したがって、本発明は上述した点に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、イナゴマメの莢果由来の新規な活性成分及びその用途を提供することにある。 Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a novel active ingredient derived from carob pods and uses thereof.

In addition, the effect of Cycarney, a carob polysaccharide, on TC and TG was significantly different in the high-dose group compared to the model control group. A significant difference was also shown compared to the positive group. The effect of the carob polysaccharide Cycarney on TC and TG was almost the same as that of the positive (PC) group. Combined with the fact that no significant difference was observed between the solvent control group and the model control group, we determined that the carob polysaccharide Cycarney had the effect of lowering TC and TG.

図9によれば、Cycarney投与群のACE阻害活性は、ブランク対照群と比較して有意に高いことが明らかとなった(P<0.01)、対照群とブランク対照群の間に有意差はなく。これらのことから、Cycarneyが優れたアンジオテンシン変換酵素阻害作用を有すること、そして、このACE阻害作用に基づく高血圧の改善効果を有することが示された。 According to FIG. 9, the ACE inhibitory activity of the Cycarney-administered group was found to be significantly higher than that of the blank control group (P<0.01), indicating a significant difference between the control group and the blank control group. Not. These results indicate that Cycarney has an excellent angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory action, and that it has an improvement effect on hypertension based on this ACE inhibitory action.
実施例7 Cycarneyの腸蠕動運動改善作用の検討
実施例2で得たCycarneyを用いて、高血糖及び高脂肪モデルラットにCycarneyを投与したときの腸蠕動運動に与える影響を調べた。
Example 7 Examination of Cycarney's Intestinal Peristalsis Improving Action Using the Cycarney obtained in Example 2, the effect on intestinal peristalsis when Cycarney was administered to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia model rats was investigated.
実施例4実験動物とグループ分けの方法は、血中脂質と血糖の異常代謝の影響に関する上記の実験と同じで、各グループのラットは水を飲んで正常に食べました。各グループのラットには1 mL/100が与えられました。BWインク1g(アラビアゴム100g、水800mLを加え、溶液が透明になるまで煮沸し、活性化炭素を秤量した)上記の溶液に50gを加え、3回煮沸した。冷却し、水を加えて容量を1000mLにした)強制経口投与。25分後、エーテル麻酔下にてラットを安楽死させた。各個体の腹腔を開いて腸間膜を分離し、幽門部から回腸部までの腸管を切断した。回収した腸管をトレーに載せて直線状にし、腸管の長さを「小腸の全長」、幽門部からエバンスブルーのインク端までの長さを「インク進入距離」として測定した。これらの測定値に基づき、「インク進入率(%)={インク進入距離(mm)/小腸の全長(mm)}×100」の式により、インク進入率(%)を求めた。結果を下記表5に示す。 Example 4 The experimental animals and grouping methods were the same as the above experiments on the effects of abnormal metabolism of blood lipids and blood sugar, and the rats in each group drank water and ate normally. Rats in each group were given 1 mL/100. 1 g of BW ink (100 g of gum arabic, 800 mL of water were added, boiled until the solution became clear, and the activated carbon was weighed) 50 g was added to the above solution and boiled three times. cooled and water added to bring the volume to 1000 mL) administered by oral gavage. Twenty-five minutes later, rats were euthanized under ether anesthesia. The abdominal cavity of each individual was opened, the mesentery was separated, and the intestinal tract from the pylorus to the ileum was cut. The collected intestinal tract was placed on a tray and straightened, and the length of the intestinal tract was measured as the "total length of the small intestine" and the length from the pylorus to the end of the Evans blue ink as the "ink penetration distance". Based on these measured values, the ink penetration rate (%) was determined by the formula "ink penetration rate (%)={ink penetration distance (mm)/total length of small intestine (mm)}×100". The results are shown in Table 5 below.
表5に示すように、対照群、高血糖・高脂肪モデル群と陽性対照物質投与群は、インク進入率の値が20%代と小さく、この値は正常対照群と比較して有意差があることから、高血糖・高脂肪モデル群と陽性対照物質投与群のラットの腸の蠕動運動は鈍化していることが明らかとなった。また、高血糖・高脂肪モデル群と陽性対照物質投与群のラットは、排便状況からも便秘が観察されていた。他方、Cycarneyの中用量投与群及び高用量投与群は、インク進入率の値が35%を超えており、この値は正常対照群との有意差がなく、高血糖・高脂肪モデル群及び陽性対照物質投与群との有意差はあることがわかった。これらのことから、Cycarneyが高血糖・高脂肪モデル群の腸の蠕動運動の鈍化を改善する効果を有し、Cycarneyの投与によって便秘が改善され、正常対照群の腸の状態にまで回復され得ることが示された。 As shown in Table 5, the control group, the hyperglycemic/high-fat model group, and the positive control substance-administered group had a low ink penetration rate value of 20%, and this value was not significantly different from the normal control group. It was clarified that the intestinal peristalsis of rats in the hyperglycemic/high-fat model group and the positive control substance-administered group was sluggish. Constipation was also observed in the rats in the hyperglycemic/high-fat model group and the positive control substance-administered group. On the other hand, in the Cycarney medium-dose administration group and high-dose administration group, the value of the ink penetration rate exceeded 35%, and this value was not significantly different from the normal control group. It was found that there was a significant difference from the control substance administration group. From these facts, Cycarney has the effect of improving the blunting of intestinal peristalsis in the hyperglycemic/high-fat model group, and administration of Cycarney improves constipation and can restore the intestinal condition to that of the normal control group. was shown.
