Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and a food composition for antioxidant anti-inflammatory activity,

The present invention relates to an antioxidant, antiinflammatory activity pharmaceutical composition and a food composition containing an extract of Ainsliaea apiculata .

The antioxidant function inhibits or slows down the oxidation reaction occurring in the body. Oxidation reaction in the body induces aging and cell transformation to generate cancer cells. Therefore, the antioxidant activity is a preventive measure to suppress the negative reaction in the body, and the public is also interested.

On the other hand, in the body, mitochondria, which are main functions of ATP production, generate free radicals, which are byproducts of respiration, in addition to cell respiration, and they are unstable, And react indiscriminately. Therefore, if we can prevent the generation of these free radicals, we can prevent the oxidation of the body, and indirectly, we can prevent aging and cancer.

These antioxidant effects are difficult to experiment with free radicals occurring in the human body and use DPPH and ABTS radicals as biomarkers. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay is one of the methods for measuring the antioxidant activity of a sample. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay is a method for measuring the antioxidative activity of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picyl-hydrazyl) This method of decolorizing antioxidant activity is a widely used method because it can measure antioxidative activity in a relatively short time and has a high correlation with the antioxidant activity of plants.

Inflammation is one of the defenses of the body against physical stimuli, chemical stimuli, bacterial infections, etc. It is one of the mechanisms to remove external substances and regenerate damaged areas. Once an inflammation-related stimulus is applied, vasoactive substances such as histamine, serotonine, bradykinin, prostaglandin, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), leukotriene And the vascular permeability is increased to cause inflammation.

Monocytes are transformed into macrophages that are activated by bacterial infection and act as phagocytic cells. Macrophages induce inflammation by secretion of NO, prostaglandin E2, and proinflammatory cytokines, and regulatory cells important in both inflammation and immune response In order for macrophages to function in this way, they must undergo an activation process.

LPS (lipopolysaccharide), one of the cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria and well known as endotoxin, is the most well-known external factor involved in macrophage activation. Particularly, in monocytes and macrophages such as RAW 264.7 cells, proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 (interleukin-6) and IL-1β (interleukin- -inflammatory cytokine secreted by LPS (lipopolysaccharide) in the inflamed area.

When LPS stimulates macrophages, nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the process of converting L-arginine into L-citrulline by an enzyme called iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) Phagocytes produce NO.

In mammals, NO is synthesized by three kinds of NO synthase (NOS): nNOS (neuronal NOS), eNOS (endothelial NOS) and iNOS (inducible NOS). Among these, NO produced by nNOS and eNOS is produced for normal biological function, and the concentration in tissues is kept low to a certain level. However, the amount of NO produced by iNOS is excessively high, and it is harmful to living organisms such as pathological vasodilation, cytotoxicity and tissue damage. In addition, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an inflammatory factor, stimulates phospholipid, which is a constituent of cell membrane, stimulated by LPS, and arachidonic acid liberated by an enzyme called phospholipase A2 causes catalytic action of an enzyme called COXs (cyclooxygenase) And is induced to induce an inflammatory reaction.

COX is classified as COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 acts on normal biological functions such as platelet formation, gastric wall protection and maintenance of renal function in the body. COX-2 synthesizes PHE2 as an inflammatory mediator. PHE2 is known to be deeply involved in the development of cancer, such as promoting inflammation (pain, fever, etc.), immune response, and angiogenesis. Inhibition of iNOS is mostly due to its mechanism of action being linked to inhibitors of COXs. Therefore, iNOS inhibition materials that are relatively easy to search are discovered and developed as anti-inflammatory materials.

On the other hand, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including selective COX-2 inhibitors, have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects. However, the long-term use of these drugs can sometimes lead to serious side effects. For example, secondary anemia due to gastrointestinal peptic ulcer bleeding, platelet function suppression, inhibition of induction of labor, side effects to the kidney, liver damage, hypersensitivity.

In order to overcome the side effects of these drugs, natural products such as plants are more preferable as a safer material. In this regard, researches are being actively carried out to find and use the anti-inflammatory materials in natural products.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

Example 1: Preparation of Chopped Extracts

The outcrops of Ainsliaea apiculata , which is native to Korea, were sampled and dried for 14 days in the shade and then crushed to a size of 20 mesh or less.

1 liter of ethanol was added to 100 g of the dried beaten egg powder, and the mixture was cooled at 25 ° C for 7 days. The mixture was extracted three times and filtered to obtain a filtered extract by filtration under reduced pressure (Wattmann, USA). The filtrate was subjected to removal of ethanol at 40 ° C using a vacuum rotary condenser to obtain 12-20 g of a slightly scooped extract residue. 10 mg of the sample was used as a sample for the detection of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

Example 2: Anti-inflammatory activity

The antiinflammatory effect of extracts of Horseradish was confirmed by measuring the amount of NO and using iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) assay.

RAW 264.7 cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate at a density of 10 × 10 ⁴ cells / well using DMEM medium and cultured for 12 hours. The RAW 264.7 cells were inoculated with 20 μl of scarlet extract (AD) 20, 4, or 0.8 μg / ml LPS (1 [mu] g / ml) at the same time, and cultured for 24 hours. From the cultured samples, the amount of NO ^{2 -} present in the cell culture was measured using a Griess reagent, and the amount of NO produced and iNOS activity were measured. Specifically, 500 μl of the cell culture supernatant of the above cultured samples and 50 μl of a grease reagent (2.5% sulfanilamide, 0.25% naphthylethylenediamine dissolved in 10% phosphoric acid) were mixed and reacted on a 24-well plate for 10 minutes, The absorbance at 540 nm was measured using a reader. The standard concentration curve was obtained by serial dilution of DMSO, and the amount of produced NO and the activity of iNOS were evaluated. The results are shown in FIG. 1 and Table 1. In addition, the antiinflammatory activity was compared between the negative control and the positive control using aspirin in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. The aspirin used inhibited iNOS activity by 50% at a concentration of about 3.2 μg / mL , And 100 μg / mL, respectively.

division Concentration (μg / ml) iNOS activity (%) Positive control group
(Aspirin) 3.2 50 Negative control group
(Negative control) - 100 A bitch extract 20 45.25 4 87.10 0.8 94.94

Referring to FIG. 1, it was confirmed that the sacculifera extract effectively reduced NO production in RAW 264.7 c cells induced by LPS, and the degree of reduction was dose-dependent. NO is synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Under pathologic conditions, increased NO promotes the development of inflammation, which is synthesized by iNOS, a synergistic agent with other inflammatory mediators. In addition, iNOS is strongly stimulated by exposure to inflammatory cytokines and bacterial endotoxins. Therefore, a substance capable of reducing NO production by iNOS can be utilized as an anti-inflammatory agent.

In addition, referring to Table 1 above, it was also confirmed that the safflower extract showed an inhibitory effect on iNOS in RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS, which was concentration-dependent in relation to the safflower extract. NO produced by activated iNOS in inflammatory conditions has deleterious effects on the organism such as pathological vasodilation, cytotoxicity, and tissue damage. RAW 264.7 showed a strong inhibitory effect on the effect of LPS on NO and proinflammatory cytokine. The extracts showed a concentration-dependent reduction of LPS-induced NOS production and that the scarlet extract had a strong inhibitory effect on iNOS protein expression in RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS .

Example 3 Evaluation of antioxidative activity of extracts

The antioxidant activity of the scarlet extract prepared in Example 1 was measured using a free Radical-scavenging activity test (DPPH). Twenty microliters of TBHQ (positive control), methanol (negative control), and methanol extract of chopped extract (2000, 1000, 200, and 125 μg / ml) were injected into each well of a 96-well microplate and incubated with 0.2 mM DPPH Sigma chemical Co. USA) methanol solution was added to the reaction mixture. The plate was wrapped with a foil to block the light, reacted at room temperature for 20 minutes, and the absorbance at 517 nm was measured. The results are shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, it was confirmed that the scarlet extract extracts scavenged DPPH free radicals in a concentration-dependent manner, and exhibited a remarkably superior antioxidative activity, indicating that the extract had an excellent antioxidative activity equivalent to that of quinone equivalent to that of the conventional antioxidative function.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, Of the right.
