Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury comprising alpha-asarone,

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury comprising alpha asarone.

Spinal cord injury is one of the most common accidents in adults. According to US statistics, there are 2,500,000 patients worldwide, 130,000 patients each year, and the annual incidence of patients is increasing. These statistics are not exceptions in Korea. According to National Health Insurance Corporation analysis of health insurance fee payment data from 2013 to 2014, about 800 patients were born and this trend continued to increase. In particular, the degree of loss to individuals and society is very serious, as the disease occurs in the form of trauma from relatively young patients.

Damage to the spinal cord is a secondary regression that leads to mechanical damage and consequent loss of tissue progression. The pathologic phenomenon that occurs after spinal cord injury is classified into two stages, primary damage and secondary damage, over time. Primary injury occurs within minutes after traumatic injury, and necrosis of cell death occurs mainly in wound area. The cause of this reaction is mediated inflammatory reaction induced mainly by pro-inflammatory cytokine. Secondary damage following primary injury progresses slowly from hours to days and not only the cells in the wound area die, but also the surrounding neurons gradually undergo apoptosis. Inflammatory responses from primary damage are a major mechanism of these secondary injuries and are involved in causing neuropathies of chronic spinal cord injury. As the inflammatory reaction continues, apoptosis gradually enlarges and the damaged area inside the spinal cord becomes wider, resulting in a permanent loss of function.

Currently, the direction of spinal cord injury treatment is to minimize the damage of the secondary spinal cord and restore the neurological function to its maximum extent. First, if a spinal cord injury occurs, there is a method of preventing cell necrosis due to the inflammation reaction of neurons using a high-dose steroid drug while eliminating the fragment or dislocation that compresses the spinal cord through surgical treatment. However, administration of steroid drugs to patients at high doses has limited clinical efficacy because of the enormous side effects of sepsis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and pneumonia. Because of the above reasons, there is no stable therapeutic agent that can restore the damaged spinal nerve. That is, there is a need for a therapeutic agent capable of treating spinal cord injury, having potent anti-inflammatory activity without side effects.

One aspect is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury comprising alpha-asarone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient.

Another aspect is to provide a health functional food for preventing or ameliorating spinal cord injury comprising alpha-asarone as an active ingredient.

One aspect provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury comprising an essential oil component of Acorus gramineus , for example, alpha-asarone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient.

The term "seokchangpo" is the scientific name Acorus It is a gramineus , a perennial plant with green leaves of the genus Agate . The rootstock is thick and hard, has many nodes, and is attached to the same spot as a rock gap by taking out roots. Leaves grow from roots to base layers overlapping each other. Narrow strips are brittle and shiny. The tip of the leaf is pointed like a knife, the edge is plain and always smells good. Flowers blend in the shape of a round stick in the middle of the flower-like peduncle. The length of the stick is 5cm and the color is yellowish blue. It is also called white whitish, iris, stony grass and gypsum, and it contains 0.5 ~ 0.8% essential oil in rootstock. Essential oils are Asarone, Palmitinsaure and Phenol.

In the present specification, the term "alpha asarone" may be mixed with "asarone ", and may be a compound represented by the following formula (1).

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Example  1: alpha-asarone (alpha- asarone ) As an active ingredient in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury

Alpha asarone was purchased and prepared by stirring 1% carboxymethylcellulose solution and 1% Tween 80.

Thus, a composition for preventing or treating spinal cord injury comprising alpha asarone according to the present invention was prepared, and the effect of treating spinal cord injury using Example 1 was confirmed in the following experimental examples.

Experimental Example  1: Preparation of spinal cord injury animal model and drug administration

1.1. Animal varieties and supply of spinal cord compression model

Sprague Dawley female rats aged 9-11 weeks, 250-300 g, and animals were examined for their breeding and appearance by Orient Bio. After that, breeding was carried out within the scope of the animal ethics committee regulation of the University of Science.

1.2. Animal anesthesia and sacrifice

SD rats (8-10 weeks old) are anesthetized with 1ul of 1: 1 ratio of zoletile (50 mg / kg, Virbac Laboratories, France) and rumun (10 mg / kg, Bayer, Korea) at a ratio of 1: 1. After the end of the experiment, we refer to the euthanasia guideline for euthanasia and guilt for the case and USE OF LABORATORY ANIMALS Eighth Edition.

1.3. Spinal cord compression model (Compression Model)

The spinal cord injury was applied using a fall-fall method. The weight and weights of 20g, 35g, and 50g were used to construct a laryngeal laminectomy at the T10 site to remove the vertebral bone plate. An impactor, which is further coupled to the support rod, causes spinal cord injury. Weights may be used in different weights, and a schematic diagram thereof is shown in Fig.

Specifically, the body weight was first measured, and the epilator was used to epilate in a circle having a radius of about 4 cm around the 10th thoracic vertebra region. The epilating area was sterilized with 70% alcohol. The surgical site was disinfected with povidone and 70% alcohol. After confirming the position of the thoracic 10 (T10), only the surgical site was covered with the exposed sterile surgical catheter, and the epidermis was incised by a surgical knife about 5 cm. The muscle layer exposed after the incision was incised by about 2 cm in the 10th thoracic region using a surgical knife. When the 10th thoracic spinous process was exposed, the extensor was removed using an Offset Bone Nipper (FST, Germany) and the spinal bone plate (lamina) was exposed to the posterior spinal cord without damage to the dura meter. The 8th thoracic and 11th thoracic spiral surgeries were fixed with Allis Forceps to expose the posterior spinal cord without damaging the dura. Then, the spinal cord was squeezed at 10th thoracic position for 5 minutes by using weights (20g, 35g, and 50g) to produce a spinal cord compression model.

1.4. Administration of the pharmaceutical composition

The composition prepared in Example 1 was orally administered at 1 mg / kg of the above 1.3.

1.5. all Experimental group

For the whole experiment, 54 rats were used, and each experimental group was as follows.

Control 1: Positive control [sham] (spinal cord exposure without damage to the dura) = 6 mice

Experimental group 1: Negative control (no treatment, only injury) = 24

Experimental group 2: Injury + alpha-asarone = Oral administration up to 7 days after injury of 24 spinal cord

Experimental Example  2: Behavior analysis _ Rain  BBB Open field score test

The BBB score test was performed to measure the motor function of the spinal cord trauma mice administered with the drug.

The BBB score test is a test method that can evaluate various exercise functions in a complex manner. The score is divided from the minimum score of 0 to 21 points when the hind legs can not be used at all according to the 21 items. Which means improved functionality.

From 3 to 14 days after the spinal cord trauma, three skilled subjects observed the movement of the hind legs of each mouse to determine the BBB score and the results are shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, all mice immediately after the spinal cord trauma showed 0 point with no movement of the hind legs, and after 3 days, the BBB score of the spinal cord injured subjects to which the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention was administered, Of the total population. The spontaneous recovery was 13.2 ± 7.65 points in the control group after 14 days of spinal cord trauma and 16.4 ± 6.12 points in the spinal cord injured group treated with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention. It was confirmed that the function recovery effect was exhibited.

Experimental Example  3: Hematoxylin eosin staining (H & E staining)

The spinal cord of the asarone group (the spinal cord injured population treated with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention) and the Injury group (control group) were placed in 4% PFA on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 after spinal cord injury, Cut 1 cm from the damaged area and make a paraffin block as a longitudinal section. The blocks were cut to a thickness of 5 μm and then treated with hematoxylin eosin through a deparaffinization process.

As shown in FIG. 3A, cut-off histological analysis of the injured area of the treated group of the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention and the control group on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 after spinal cord injury showed that asarone It was confirmed that the recovery of injury was remarkably faster in the treated group.

Experimental Example  4: Immunohistochemical staining ( Immunohistochemistry: IHC )

The spinal cord of the asarone group (the spinal cord injured population treated with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention) and the Injury group (control group) were placed in 4% PFA on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 after spinal cord injury, A 1-cm section was cut from the damaged area and a paraffin block was made as a longitudinal section. Blocks were cut to a thickness of 5 μm and subjected to immunofluorescent staining.

FIG. 3B shows the results of GFAP immunohistochemical staining of 1 cm of the damaged area of the group administered with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 after spinal cord injury, FIG. 3c shows the results of CD68, CD86, Fig. 3 is a photograph of DAPI and GEAP immunohistochemical staining. Fig.

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the ratios of arg1, iNOS and CD68 immunohistocytic staining (FIG. 4A) and arg1, iNOS, and CD68 of the control group and the group administered with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention on days 7 and 14 after spinal cord injury (Fig. 4B), and the graph shows the results of the difference between the upper two of 7 days and the lower 2 of 14 days.

FIG. 5 is a graph (FIG. 5A) showing the Ang1 and VEGFR immunohistochemical staining images (FIG. 5A) and intensity of the control group (FIG. 5B) of the group administered with the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention at 14 days after injury of the spinal cord.

As can be seen from FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, in the asazol-treated group, arg1 + / CD68 + was higher than that of the control, and iNOS + / CD68 + was significantly lower. This was more prominent in the 14th day than in the 7th day (Fig. 4B). On the other hand, ANG-1 and VEGFR were higher in asazol-treated group than in control group.

Thus, it was confirmed that the spinal cord injured individuals to which the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention was administered exhibited a remarkable recovery effect as compared with the control group.
