The present invention relates to an antihyperlipidemic agent containing ginseng-C20-prosapogenin as an active ingredient. Ginseng-C20-prosapogenin, the active ingredient of the present invention, is derived from medicinal ginseng (Panax ginseng CA).
It is obtained by acid hydrolyzing ginsenosides Rb 1 , Rb 2 , Rb 3 , Rc, and Rd among various saponins contained in Meyer's root (Meyer's root) to cleave the glycosidic bond at the C20 position. This acid hydrolysis causes epimerization, producing two stereoisomers, C20R- and C20S-. C20R-prosapogenin and C20S-prosapogenin were isolated by the present inventors from the acid hydrolysis reaction system of carrot saponin, and their chemical structures were confirmed, and of course they do not exist in nature. [Arzneim Forsch. 30, vol. 30 , p. 936, 1980.
936 (1980))] Medicinal ginseng has been known to have a wide variety of pharmacological actions. In addition, various components of medicinal ginseng have been recently isolated, and their relationship with medicinal efficacy is gradually being clarified. The present inventors previously isolated various ginseng saponin components and discovered that ginsenoside Rb 1 has a cholesterol-lowering effect (antihyperlipidemic effect) (102nd Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (1982)) ).
However, not all isolated ginseng saponins have such pharmacological effects, and the relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological effects is also poorly understood. The present inventors have investigated the effects of ginsenosides Rb 1 , Rb 2 , Rb 3 , Rc, and Rd (C20S-
C20-prosapogenin, which is produced by the cleavage of the sugar chain at the C20 position of the saponin group whose genin is protopanaxadiol, has been found to have a significant blood cholesterol-lowering effect. Prosapogenin is a partially cleaved sugar chain of carrot saponin, especially C20R, which does not exist in nature.
The pharmacological effects of the type isomers are completely unexpected. As a method for examining the above-mentioned pharmacological action of prosapogenin used in the present invention, a method of measuring cholesterol content in rat serum is employed.
The measurement results are shown below along with the test method. Experiment 1 Test for suppressing increase in serum cholesterol concentration in rats fed a high-fat diet Using Wistar male rats (body weight around 100 g),

C20R-prosapogenin was administered intraperitoneally during the latter three days of the cholesterol diet feeding period. The breeding room was kept at constant temperature and humidity (25°C, relative humidity 60%) with a 12-hour light/dark cycle. Blood was collected from the carotid artery 20 hours after the final administration, and serum was obtained by cold centrifugation. Total cholesterol in serum is cholesterol

[Table] Experiment 2 Acute toxicity test Carrot-C20R-prosapogenin was suspended in physiological saline and administered to three ICR mice (7 weeks old, male).
500mg/Kg was administered intraperitoneally and observed for 7 days, but there were no deaths. As is clear from the above experiments, administration of carrot saponin-C20R-prosapogenin significantly suppresses the increase in serum cholesterol. Therefore, administration of this drug is effective in improving hyperlipidemia such as hypercholesterolemia, and is useful in preventing and treating arteriosclerosis. It is already well-established that an increase in the blood concentration of cholesterol (lipids) is an important cause of arteriosclerosis, and it is believed to be an important cause of arteriosclerosis, which can lead to serious diseases such as coronary arteriosclerosis, cerebral arteriosclerosis, renal arteriosclerosis, and peripheral arteriosclerosis. Administration of this drug is useful for the prevention and treatment of various medical conditions. C20-prosapogenin used in the present invention is
It can be administered orally or parenterally by itself or mixed with appropriate pharmaceutical carriers, excipients, and diluents in the form of powder, granules, tablets, capsules, injections, and the like. For adults, the dosage is, for example, 30 to 30 mg per day.
1000mg, preferably 50 to 300mg, is administered orally or injected in 1 to 3 doses, depending on age, weight, and symptoms.
Needless to say, the dose may be increased or decreased. Next, an example of preparing fine particles for oral administration of the antihyperlipidemic agent of the present invention will be described. Carrot-C20R-prosapogenin 100mg, lactose
616 mg of cornstarch and 264 mg of corn starch are mixed uniformly, and a 10% aqueous hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) solution is used as a sizing agent to prepare granules according to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia General Rules for Preparations Granules section.
