본 발명은 골다공증 예방 및 치료에 효과를 갖는 연근 추출물(lotus root)에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 조골세포 생성과 파골세포 억제능이 우수하여 골다공증 예방 및 치료효과를 갖는 연근 추출물에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a lotus root extract (lotus root) having an effect on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and more particularly, to a lotus root extract having an osteoporosis prevention and treatment effect with excellent osteoblast production and osteoclast inhibition ability.

골다공증(Osteoporosis)은 골 조직의 석회가 감소되어 뼈의 치밀질이 엷어지 고 그로 인해 골수강이 넓어지는 상태로, 증세가 진전됨에 따라 뼈가 약해지기 때문에 작은 충격에도 골절되기 쉽다. 골량은 유전적 요인, 영양섭취, 호르몬의 변화, 운동 및 생활습관의 차이 등 여러 요인들에 의해 영향을 받으며, 골다공증의 원인으로는 노령, 운동부족, 저체중, 흡연, 저칼슘 식이, 폐경, 난소 절제 등이 알려져 있다. 한편 개인차는 있지만 백인보다는 흑인이 골 재흡수 수준 (bone resorption level)이 낮아 골량이 더 높으며, 대개 골량은 14~18세에 가장 높고 노후에는 1년에 약 1%씩 감소한다. 특히 여성의 경우 30세 이후부터 골 감소가 지속적으로 진행되며, 폐경기에 이르면 호르몬 변화에 의해 골 감소가 급격히 진행된다. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mineralization is thinned due to the reduction of bone tissue and thus the bone marrow cavity is widened. As osteoporosis progresses, the bone becomes weaker as the symptoms progress. Bone mass is influenced by several factors, including genetic factors, nutritional intake, hormonal changes, differences in exercise and lifestyle, and the causes of osteoporosis include old age, lack of exercise, low weight, smoking, low calcium diet, menopause, and ovaries. Ablation and the like are known. On the other hand, although there are individual differences, blacks have lower bone resorption levels than whites, resulting in higher bone mass. Usually bone mass is highest at 14-18 years of age and decreases by about 1% per year in old age. Especially in women, bone reduction continues after 30 years of age, and when menopause reaches bone growth rapidly due to hormonal changes.

이와 같이 골다공증은 정도에 차이는 있으나 노년층, 특히 폐경기 이후의 여성에게 있어서는 피할 수 없는 증상으로, 선진국에서는 인구가 노령화됨에 따라 골다공증 및 그 치료제에 대한 관심이 점차 증가되고 있다. 또한 전세계적으로 골질환 치료와 관련되어 약 1300억 달러의 시장이 형성되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있으며 앞으로 더 증가할 것으로 예상되기 때문에, 세계적인 각 연구 기관과 제약회사에서는 골질환 치료제 개발에 많은 투자를 하고 있다. As described above, osteoporosis is unavoidable for elderly people, especially postmenopausal women, and as the population ages in developed countries, interest in osteoporosis and its therapeutics is gradually increasing. It is also known that there is a market of about $ 130 billion related to the treatment of bone diseases worldwide and is expected to increase further. Therefore, many research institutes and pharmaceutical companies around the world are investing heavily in the development of bone disease treatments. .

골다공증과 관련하여 과거에는 주로 골의 무기질, 즉 칼슘과 인의 대사이상을 중심으로 그 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 이의 발병기전 규명에는 진전을 보지 못하였다 그러나, 최근 골형성에 중요한 무기질 뿐만 아니라 골기질 단백질의 대사에 관한 연구의 중요성이 새로이 부각되고 있다. 현재 이용되는 골다공증의 치료 및 예방법으로는 대개 칼슘이 함유된 식이요법, 폐경기의 여성들에게는 에스트로젠 (estrogen)을 투여하거나 비타민 D를 투여하여 골다공증의 진행을 완화시키는 방법이다. 골다공증 치료제로 널리 사용되는 칼슘 보강제재는 부갑상선 호르몬의 분비를 억제하며 골흡수에 의한 골량 감소를 방지하지만, 골량 유지의 개인 차이가 심하다고 알려져 있다 (Heaney, R.P., Princeples of Bone Biology, Academic press, 1007-1017, 1996). 에스트로젠이나 칼시토닌을 이용한 호르몬 요법의 경우 골밀도를 증가시키고, 직장암의 발생을 감소시킨다는 보고도 있으나, 유방암, 심근경색, 정맥 혈전증 등의 부작용이 보고된 바 있다 (Nelson, H.D. et al., JAMA, 288: 872-881, 2002; Lemay, A., J. Ostet. Bynaecol. Can., 24: 711-715). 비스포스포네이트는 파골세포를 억제하는 골흡수 억제제로써 새로운 대체 치료제로 주목받고 있으나, 올바르지 않은 경구 투여시 상기도에 병소가 관찰되기도 한다(Fleisch, H., Principles of Bone Biology, Academic press, 1007-1017, 1996; Cryer, R. and Bauer, D.C., Mayo. Clin. Proc., 77: 1031-1043, 2002). In the past, the research has been conducted mainly on bone minerals, namely, calcium and phosphorus metabolic abnormalities, and no progress has been made in the pathogenesis. However, recently, not only minerals important for bone formation but also bone matrix proteins The importance of research on metabolism is emerging. Currently, the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis is a calcium-containing diet, and estrogen or vitamin D is administered to postmenopausal women to alleviate the progression of osteoporosis. Calcium adjuvant, widely used as a treatment for osteoporosis, suppresses secretion of parathyroid hormone and prevents bone loss due to bone resorption, but it is known that individual differences in bone mass maintenance are severe (Heaney, RP, Princeples of Bone Biology, Academic press, 1007). -1017, 1996). Hormonal therapy with estrogen or calcitonin has been reported to increase bone density and reduce the incidence of rectal cancer, but side effects such as breast cancer, myocardial infarction and venous thrombosis have been reported (Nelson, HD et al., JAMA, 288). : 872-881, 2002; Lemay, A., J. Ostet. Bynaecol. Can., 24: 711-715). Bisphosphonates are attracting attention as a novel alternative therapeutic agent for inhibiting osteoclasts, but lesions can be observed in the upper respiratory tract with incorrect oral administration (Fleisch, H., Principles of Bone Biology, Academic press, 1007-1017, 1996 Cryer, R. and Bauer, DC, Mayo. Clin. Proc., 77: 1031-1043, 2002).

따라서, 새로운 작용 및 골격구조를 가지면서 독성 및 부작용이 적어 골다공증의 예방 및 치료에 효과적인 신물질의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 또한, 이러한 신물질은 민간요법으로 예로부터 적용되어 온 천연물에서 발견될 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 천연물, 특히 생약으로부터 신약을 제조하려는 시도가 활발히 진행되고 있다. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of new substances effective in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis due to the new action and skeletal structure and less toxicity and side effects. In addition, since these new substances are very likely to be found in natural products that have been applied to folk medicine since ancient times, attempts are being actively made to produce new drugs from natural products, particularly herbal medicines.

한편, 연근(lotus root)은 수련과에 속하는 다년생 초본인 연꽃(학명 Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn)의 뿌리줄기로, 재배는 표토(表土)가 깊고 유기질이 많은 양토(壤土)나 점질양토(粘質壤土)가 적당하며, 유기질 비료를 주로 사용한다. 주성 분은 당질로서 대부분이 녹말이다. 아미노산으로는 아스파라긴산, 이르기닌, 티로신이 함유되어 있으며 레시틴, 펙틴도 많다. 또한 일반 식물에는 적은 비타민B12가 함유되어 있는 것이 특색이다. On the other hand, lotus root is the root stem of the perennial herbaceous lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn), which belongs to the water lily family, and the cultivation is a loam or viscous loam with a deep topsoil and a lot of organic matter. Is suitable, and organic fertilizer is mainly used. The main component is sugar, most of which is starch. Amino acids contain aspartic acid, ylangine and tyrosine, as well as lecithin and pectin. It is also characterized by low levels of vitamin B12 in common plants.

효능으로는 정력강장, 피로회복, 정신안정에 도움을 주며, 폐병, 빈혈, 하혈, 각기, 출혈성 위궤양이나 위염에 좋은 것으로 알려져 있으며, 니코틴 (담배의 독) 등 각종 독성물질에 대한 중화, 해독작용 또한 알려져 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 상기 연근과 골다공증과의 상관 관계에 대한 보고는 없는 실정이다. Efficacy in helping to strengthen stamina, fatigue, mental stability, and is known to be good for lung disease, anemia, bleeding, each, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer or gastritis. Neutralizes and detoxifies various toxic substances such as nicotine Also known. However, there is no report on the correlation between the lotus root and osteoporosis.

이에, 본 발명자들은 연근 추출물이 골다공증 유발 억제작용이 뛰어남을 발견하여 연근 추출물을 골다공증 치료제 또는 예방제 및 건강식품으로 유용하게 사용할 수 있음을 밝힘으로써 본 발명을 완성하였다.Accordingly, the present inventors have found that the lotus root extract is excellent in inhibiting osteoporosis-induced action, thereby completing the present invention by revealing that the lotus root extract can be usefully used as a therapeutic agent or a preventive agent and a health food for osteoporosis.

본 발명의 목적은 골다공증 예방 및 치료효과를 갖는 연근 추출물, 이를 포함하는 약학적 조성물 및 건강식품을 제공하는 것이다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a lotus root extract, a pharmaceutical composition and health food comprising the same, having an osteoporosis prevention and treatment effect.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위해, 본 발명은 조골세포의 증식 활성과 파골세포의 증식 억제활성 및 골밀도 증가효능을 갖는 연근 추출물을 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lotus root extract having proliferative activity of osteoblasts and proliferation inhibitory activity of osteoclasts and bone mineral density increasing effect.

또한, 본 발명은 연근 추출물을 유효성분으로 하는 골다공증 예방 및 치료용 약학적 조성물을 제공한다.The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis using lotus root extract as an active ingredient.

또한, 본 발명은 연근 추출물을 유효성분으로 하는 골다공증 예방 및 치료용 건강식품을 제공한다.In another aspect, the present invention provides a health food for preventing and treating osteoporosis using lotus root extract as an active ingredient.

이하, 본 발명을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

본 발명은 조골세포의 증식 활성 및 파골세포의 증식 억제활성을 갖는 연근 추출물을 제공한다.The present invention provides a lotus root extract having proliferative activity of osteoblasts and inhibitory activity of osteoclasts.

추출을 위한 용매는 물, 알코올 또는 이의 혼합물이고 알코올은 C1 내지 C4의 저급 알코올이고 바람직하게는 5 내지 100%, 보다 바람직하게는 20 내지 80%, 보다 더 바람직하게는 20 내지 50%의 에틸알콜(ethyl alcohol) 또는 바람직하게는 5 내지 100%, 보다 바람직하게는 20 내지 80%, 보다 더 바람직하게는 20 내지 50%의 메틸알콜(methyl alcohol)이다. 물 추출은 열수추출일 수 있다. The solvent for extraction is water, alcohol or mixtures thereof and the alcohol is C 1 to C 4 lower alcohols and is preferably 5 to 100%, more preferably 20 to 80%, even more preferably 20 to 50%. Ethyl alcohol or preferably 5 to 100%, more preferably 20 to 80%, even more preferably 20 to 50% methyl alcohol. Water extraction may be hot water extraction.

본 발명자들은 연근에 각각 70% 에탄올, 30% 에탄올 및 증류수를 첨가하여 환류 추출 및 동결건조하여 연근 추출물을 수득한 후, 이를 조골세포에 첨가하여 조골세포 증식효과를 알아보았다(도 1A 참조). 특히, 30% 에탄올 연근 추출물은 대조군 보다 높은 증식효과가 나타남을 확인하였다(도 2 참조).The present inventors added 70% ethanol, 30% ethanol and distilled water to reflux extract and lyophilized to obtain lotus root extract, and then added it to osteoblasts to examine the osteoblast proliferation effect (see FIG. 1A). In particular, it was confirmed that the 30% ethanol lotus root extract showed a higher proliferative effect than the control (see Fig. 2).

연근 추출물 첨가 후 조골세포의 특징 중 하나인 ALP(Alkaline phosphatase) 활성이 어떻게 변화하는지 알아본 결과, 연근 추출물 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 ALP 활성이 증가하였다(도 1B 참조). 특히, 30% 에탄올 연근 추출물은 대조군에 비해 ALP 활성이 농도의존적으로 증가함을 확인하였다(도 3 참조). As a result of examining how the ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) activity, which is one of the characteristics of osteoblasts, changes after the addition of lotus root extract, the ALP activity of the lotus root extract added group was increased compared to the control group (see FIG. 1B). In particular, 30% ethanol lotus root extract was found to increase the concentration-dependent ALP activity compared to the control (see Figure 3).

파골세포는 골수내의 단핵구/대식세포 계통의 세포로부터 유래하고, 이 단핵전구세포는 혈액내로 순환되며 골내막층에서 전구세포들이 증식되어 다핵세포를 형성하기 위해 융합된다고 알려져 있으며 (Scheven, B.A.A. etal., Nature, 321:79-81, 1986), 파골세포에는 특징적으로 타르트레이트 (tartrate)에 대해 저항성을 나타내는 산성 포스파타제 (acid phosphatase)인 TRAP을 가지며 이는 다른 골조직 세포와 구별할 수 있는 파골세포의 세포화학적 표지효소로 이용된다고 알려져 있다(Minkin, C., Calcif. Tissue Int., 34: 285-290, 1982). 본 발명자들은 연근 추출물에 의한 파골세포의 생성 억제와 세포 활성도 감소 확인을 위하여, 하기와 같은 실험을 실시하였다.Osteoclasts are derived from cells of the monocyte / macrophage lineage in the bone marrow, which are circulated into the blood and are known to proliferate and proliferate in the endothelial layer to form multinucleated cells (Scheven, BAA et al. , Nature, 321: 79-81, 1986), osteoclasts have an acidic phosphatase, TRAP, which is characteristically resistant to tartrate, which is a cell of osteoclasts that can be distinguished from other bone tissue cells. It is known to be used as a chemical marker (Minkin, C., Calcif. Tissue Int., 34: 285-290, 1982). The inventors carried out the following experiment to confirm the inhibition of the production of osteoclasts and decrease in cell activity by the lotus root extract.

구체적으로, ICR 마우스의 대퇴골과 경골을 적출하고 골수를 모아 파골세포의 전구세포가 되는 미부착세포를 수득하였다. 이에, 실시예에서 제조한 연근 추출물을 처리한 뒤, 파골세포의 생성을 검사하기 위하여, TRAP(Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) 염색을 실시하였다. TRAP에 양성(+)이며 다핵(3개 이상의 핵)을 갖는 TRAP-양성 다핵세포들을 파골세포로 측정하고 다핵세포수의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 연근 추출물을 처리한 군은 대조군에 비해 TRAP(+) 다핵세포의 수가 현저히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. TRAP 활성도도 현저히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 상기 결과로부터, 본 발명의 연근 추출물이 농도 의존적으로 파골세포의 생성 억제 작용을 한다는 것을 확인하였다(도 4 및 5 참조). Specifically, the femur and tibia of the ICR mouse were removed, and the bone marrow was collected to obtain unattached cells that become progenitor cells of osteoclasts. Thus, after treating the lotus root extract prepared in Example, to test the production of osteoclasts, TRAP (Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) staining was performed. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells positive (+) and multinuclear (more than 3 nuclei) in TRAP were measured as osteoclasts and the change in the number of multinucleated cells. As a result, the group treated with lotus root extract was found to significantly reduce the number of TRAP (+) multinucleated cells compared to the control group. It was also confirmed that the TRAP activity was also significantly reduced. From the above results, it was confirmed that the lotus root extract of the present invention has a concentration-dependent inhibition of the production of osteoclasts (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

<3-2> 골 밀도 측정기(Bone mineral densitometer ; BMD )를 이용한 골다공증 예방 및 치료효능 시험 <3-2> Osteoporosis prevention and treatment test using Bone mineral densitometer ( BMD )

250g 내외의 백서를 선택하여 실험군(군당 7마리)과 대조군(7마리)으로 나누어 난소 절개를 하고, 물에 녹인 약물을 8주간 마리당 400mg 약물을 경구 투여하였다. 난소절개 전 골밀도 측정을 시행한 후 2주, 4주, 8주 후에 반복하여 골밀도(BMD) 측정을 시행하였다. BMD 측정은 독일에서 제조한 XCT 540 Research SA를 이용하였다.The white paper of about 250g was selected and divided into the experimental group (7 per group) and the control group (7). The ovary was incision, and the drug dissolved in water was orally administered with 400mg drug per 8 weeks. BMD was measured at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after ovarian bone mineral density measurement. BMD measurement was performed using XCT 540 Research SA made in Germany.

케이지 안에 사육중인 백서를 Ketamin HCl(ketara 10mg/Kg)과 2% xylazine HCl(Roupun 0.15ml/Kg) 혼합액을 복강에 투여하여 전신 마취시킨 후 voxel size0.1mm× 0.1mm, BMD 산출을 위한 Threshould값은 280mg/cm2(해면골 측정), 500mg/cm2(치밀골 측정)으로 설정하였다. Scout scan(10mm/sec)를 통하여 경골(Proxima tibia)의 측정위치를 정하고 CT scan(7mm/sec)을 통해 정해진 위치에서 3개의 slice에서 골밀도(BMD)값을 측정하였으며 동일 위치에서 2회 이상 촬영하고 2, 4, 8주간 매회 반복하였다.White rats in cages were administered with a mixture of Ketamin HCl (ketara 10mg / Kg) and 2% xylazine HCl (Roupun 0.15ml / Kg) intraperitoneally for general anesthesia, and then voxel size0.1mm × 0.1mm, Threshould value for BMD Was set to 280 mg / cm 2 (spongy bone measurement) and 500 mg / cm 2 (dense bone measurement). The measurement position of the tibia (Proxima tibia) was determined through a scout scan (10mm / sec), and the bone density (BMD) value was measured at three slices at the specified position by CT scan (7mm / sec). And repeated every 2, 4, 8 weeks.

그 결과, 난소절제를 시행한 대조군에서는 시간이 경과함에 따라 골밀도가 평균 27%정도 감소하였으나 연근 추출물을 투여한 실험군에서는 난소절제 전과 비슷한 상태를 계속 유지하였으며 4주 후에는 난소절제 전보다 더 증가된 골밀도를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 발명의 연근 30%에탄올 추출물은 골밀도 변화, 즉 골 형성 및 감소에 영향을 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있고 골다공증 예방 및 치료에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다(표 1).As a result, in the control group treated with ovarian resection, bone density decreased by 27% on average, but the experimental group administered with lotus root extract remained similar to that before ovarian resection, and after 4 weeks the bone density increased more than before ovarian resection. Indicated. Therefore, the lotus root 30% ethanol extract of the present invention can confirm that it affects the bone density change, that is, bone formation and reduction, it can be seen that it is effective in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis (Table 1).
