Description

Cheongwitang Composition

The present invention relates to a cheongwi-tang composition, and more particularly, to a cheongwi-tang composition comprising extracts of hyangbuja, chrysanthemum, dermis, hubak, banha, jeokbokryeong, yeonkyo, nabokja, jisil, gold and hwangryeon as active ingredients.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GRD) has been a common disease in Western countries such as Europe and the United States for a long time.

Heartburn is the most common symptom of reflux esophagitis. This usually refers to a burning pain, burning, bitterness, or discomfort that seems to rise from the tip of the cervix to the throat. These symptoms may radiate to the back or neck and may be accompanied by dysphagia, a feeling of difficulty swallowing food.

Acid reflux is also an important symptom, which refers to the return of sour, bitter, or digested food back into the mouth. Sometimes you may experience chest pain or a feeling of choking, and you may feel like you have a lump in your throat even when you are not eating. Repetitive pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen (concave chest) or a chronic cough may also be symptoms of reflux esophagitis.

Heartburn in gastroesophageal reflux disease can occur at any time of the day, but it is an important characteristic that it worsens mainly after eating or in a supine position. It is often confused with heartburn, but it is a symptom that appears more frequently in functional indigestion, gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Therefore, the symptoms and heartburn of reflux esophagitis are very similar, but the location and time of onset are slightly different.

The biggest problem with this disease is that once symptoms appear, they can often develop chronically and reduce quality of life. In other words, if the feeling of a foreign body in the throat persists, as well as chronic cough, bacteria act to break it down, and bad breath occurs, which interferes with group life. In addition, in the case of reflux esophagitis, if left untreated, it may develop into esophageal stricture or esophageal cancer, although rare. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to visit a hospital for an accurate diagnosis and treatment when symptoms are felt. In particular, in drug treatment that simply suppresses gastric acid, symptoms often recur when the drug is stopped or the dose is reduced, so fundamental treatment and dietary adjustment are necessary.

Various drugs that suppress gastric acid secretion are used for the treatment of reflux esophagitis, and the most commonly prescribed drugs are hydrogen pump inhibitors such as omeprazole or rabeprazole. This reduces the secretion of gastric acid by more than 90% and prevents the progression of esophageal lesions without causing symptoms even if reflux continues. Drugs that control the motility of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter are also used, and in some cases, the above drugs are used together. Drugs such as Zantac and Mylanta are used to suppress the secretion of gastric acid, or to cover the stomach acid with a membrane, which covers the esophagus in advance to relieve inflammation. If non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used as inflammatory diseases, heartburn may occur due to the gastric acid secretion effect of the anti-inflammatory drugs. These include medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

If symptoms do not improve despite the above methods, surgery is recommended. There are some cases where surgery is required because of some complications, but these cases are very rare. Recently, a surgical method using a laparoscopy without opening the abdomen or chest has been developed.

However, the chemical synthetic drug treatment as described above may have an adverse effect on the human body during long-term treatment, and surgery has a disadvantage in that it places a great burden on the patient and the effect is not excellent.

For 120 g of Hyangbuja, 10 kg of water was extracted from medicinal herbs of 40 g of Chrysanthemum, 40 g of dermis, 40 g of squash, 40 g of Banha, 40 g of Jeokbokryeong, 40g of Yeongyo, 40g of Nabokja, 40g of Jisil, 28g of golden lily and 28g of Hwangryeon at 80~100℃ for 20 hours. filtered.

(Example 2)

It was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 15 g of dandelion flowers and 15 g of evening primrose were further used as medicinal materials.

(Example 3)

It was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2, except that 15 g of goryanggang, 15 g of turmeric root, 15 g of osuyu and 15 g of blackberry fruit were further used as medicinal materials.

(Test Example 1)

Hydrochloric acid is the main component of gastric acid, and reflux esophagitis is caused by an inflammatory reaction caused by damage to esophageal cells caused by acid reflux. Therefore, an in vitro test was conducted on whether the extract inhibits esophageal cell damage caused by hydrochloric acid. At this time, each extract was concentrated under reduced pressure and freeze-dried.

First, human esophageal cells Het-1a were purchased from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) and cultured in a 37° C., 5% CO ₂ incubator using BEGM™ medium (Lonza). The cultured human esophageal cells, Het-1a cells, were dispensed in a 96-well plate at 2×10 ⁴ cells/well and cultured for 24 hours, and then 10 μg/mL of each extract and hydrochloric acid were added to a final concentration of 10 mM, respectively. processed to be this. After 6 hours of the hydrochloric acid treatment, MTT solution (SIGMA, M5655) was added and incubated for an additional hour, then the generated formazan was dissolved by adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and absorbance at 540 nm was obtained. By measuring the cell viability was measured.

On the other hand, the control group was tested in the same manner as above except that the same amount of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was treated instead of the extract.

The results are shown in Table 1 below.

Test Example 1 Results division Cell viability (%) Example 1 90.1 Example 2 91.7 Example 3 92.5 control 75.8

As can be seen in Table 1, in the control group, about 25% of apoptosis was achieved, whereas in Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention, it was confirmed that the death of esophageal cells was significantly reduced.

(Test Example 2)

It has been reported that IL-6, an inflammatory cytokine, is an important factor in the inflammatory response of esophageal cells by acid. Therefore, an in vitro test was performed on whether each of the extracts inhibits the esophageal cell inflammatory response by inhibiting IL-6 increased by acid. At this time, each extract was concentrated under reduced pressure and freeze-dried.

Het-1a cells, which are human esophageal cells, were aliquoted in a 96-well plate at 2×10 ⁴ cells/well and cultured for 24 hours, and then each extract was treated to a final concentration of 10 μg/ml. After 1 hour of treatment with the extract, the medium was removed and the medium was replaced with a medium in which the pH of the medium was lowered from 7.2 to 4.5 by the addition of hydrochloric acid. After 1 hour of pH 4.5 medium treatment, the medium was removed again and replaced with a normal medium of pH 7.2, and then the cells were cultured in a 37° C., 5% CO ₂ incubator for 6 hours. After 6 hours of incubation, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS (phosphate buffered saline), and then treated with trizol reagent (sigma) in each well to isolate total RNA. After quantification, the same amount of isolated total RNA was taken and cDNA was synthesized using the High Capacity cDNA Kit (thermofisher), and then qPCR was performed using SYBR Premix Ex Taq™ (Takara) and IL-6 primer (Hs00174131_m1, thermofisher). Thus, the relative expression level of IL-6 was measured.

On the other hand, the control group was tested in the same manner as above except that the pH4.5 medium was not treated and the extract was not treated, and the positive control group was tested in the same way as above except that the extract was not treated. did

The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Test Example 2 Results division Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 positive control control IL-6 expression (Fold) 3.74 3.51 3.15 5.21 One

As can be seen in Table 2, in the case of the positive control of the present invention, the expression of IL-6 was greatly increased by hydrochloric acid, whereas in Examples 1 to 3, it was confirmed that the expression of IL-6 by hydrochloric acid was reduced. . This indicates that when gastric acid reflux stimulates esophageal cells, Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention can suppress the inflammatory response caused by gastric acid at the gene level.
