It relates to the Astragalus extract and a pharmaceutical composition having the same as an active ingredient.
미국 내에서만 4000,0000명 이상의 여성이 매년 폐경기에 접어든다. 마지막 월경기에 도달한 여성의 평균 연령은 약 28세이고, 이중 약 75 ~ 85%는 에스트로젠 결핍증으로 발전할 것이라고 1982년 한 연구에서 지적하였다 (Hammond et al.,Fertil. Steril., 37(1):5-25, 1982). 난소부전의 시작에 따르는 가장 일반적인 질환의 하나는 '핫 플래쉬 (hot flash)' 또는 혈관운동 증 (症) 콤플랙스로서 이는 돌연히 시작되어 일반적으로 수분간 지속되는 온기, 빈번하게 관찰되는 붉은 플래쉬 및 종종 현기증, 구역질, 두통, 심계항진 및 발한을 동반하는데, 적당한 에스트로젠을 공급함으로써 이러한 증상들의 90% 이상을 경감할 수 있다.In the United States alone, more than 4000 million women enter menopause each year. The average age of women who reached the last menstrual age was about 28 years, of which about 75 to 85 percent would develop estrogen deficiency (Hammond et al., Fertil. Steril. , 37 (1)). : 5-25, 1982). One of the most common diseases following the onset of ovarian failure is 'hot flash' or vasomotor complexes, which are suddenly occurring and generally last for several minutes, frequently observed red flashes and often Accompanying dizziness, nausea, headache, palpitations, and sweating, more than 90% of these symptoms can be alleviated by providing adequate estrogen.
만성적인 저 (低) 에스트로젠에 의한 후폐경기 증상이 많이 있으며, 이중 가장 심각한 것은 골다공증과 허혈성(虛熱性) 심장질환이다. 60세 이상의 여성 중 25%는 에스트로젠 결핍에 관련된 골다공증의 결과로서 척추압박골절을, 50%는 75세에척추골절로 발전된 것이 보고되었다. 고령에서 둔부골절의 비율이 매우 높은 것 역시 이러한 골다공증에 기인하는 것이다.There are many postmenopausal symptoms caused by chronic low estrogen, the most serious of which are osteoporosis and ischemic heart disease. It has been reported that 25% of women older than 60 years have developed vertebral compression fractures as a result of osteoporosis associated with estrogen deficiency, and 50% have developed vertebral fractures at age 75. The very high rate of hip fractures in old age is also attributable to this osteoporosis.
에스트로겐 또는 에스트로겐/게스타겐 배합물로의 호르몬 대체 치료 (hormone replacement therapy, HRT)는 현재 폐경기와 관련된 증상을 치료하기 위한 표준 방법으로 알려져 왔다 (Ernster, V. L. et al.,Prev. Med., 17:201-223, 1988).Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogens or estrogen / gestagen combinations is now known as the standard method for treating symptoms associated with menopause (Ernster, VL et al., Prev. Med ., 17: 201-223, 1988).
에스트로겐은 심장혈관계, 골 (골다공증의 위험의 감소) 및 중추 신경계 (핫 플래쉬의 회피)에 대해 보호작용을 한다. 그러나, 호르몬 대체 치료에서 에스트로겐의 만성적인 사용은 자궁내막암의 위험을 증가시킨다 (Ernster, V. L. et al.,Prev. Med., 17:201-223, 1988). 이러한 위험을 감소시키기 위하여 게스타겐을 동시에 사용함으로써 자궁내막에 대한 에스트로겐의 자극 효과가 억제되지만 (Gibbson, W. E.,Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol., 154: 46-61, 1986), 반대로 에스트로겐 및 게스타겐의 배합 치료의 경우 혈장 지질에 대한 에스트로겐 성분의 보호 효과가 악화되는 문제점이 지적되고 있다 (Lobo, R. Am.J. Obstet. Gynecol., 166: 1997-2004, 1992).Estrogens protect the cardiovascular system, bone (reduced risk of osteoporosis) and central nervous system (avoid hot flashes). However, chronic use of estrogen in hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of endometrial cancer (Ernster, VL et al., Prev. Med ., 17: 201-223, 1988). Simultaneous use of gestagen to reduce this risk inhibits the stimulating effect of estrogen on the endometrium (Gibbson, WE, Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. , 154: 46-61, 1986), but in contrast, estrogen and In the case of the combination treatment of gestagens , there is a problem of deteriorating the protective effect of the estrogen component on plasma lipids (Lobo, R. Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol ., 166: 1997-2004, 1992).
게다가, 경구용 피임약을 사용하는 것 보다 낮은 호르몬 투여량을 기준으로 한 에스트로겐/게스타겐으로, 바람직하지 않은 주기내 월경 출혈이 일어날 수 있다 (Hillard , T. C. et al.,Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol., 167: 1-7, 1992). 마지막으로, 최근 논문은 많은 게스타겐이 유방암의 위험을 증가시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다 (Staffa, J. A. et al.,An Epidemiologic Review, 57: 473-491, 1992; King, R. J. B.,J. Ster. Biochem. Molec. Bio., 39: 8111-8118, 1991).Moreover, with estrogen / gestagen based on lower hormonal dosages than using oral contraceptives, undesirable intra-menstrual bleeding can occur (Hillard, TC et al., Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. , 167: 1-7, 1992). Finally, recent papers show that many gestagens may increase the risk of breast cancer (Staffa, JA et al., An Epidemiologic Review , 57: 473-491, 1992; King, RJB, J. Ster. Biochem Molec. Bio ., 39: 8111-8118, 1991).
특히, 에스트로젠 대체 치료는 자궁이 있는 여성에게 더 복잡한 이슈이다. 에스트로젠 치료는 연속적인 '경쟁이 없는' 에스트로젠에 의해 유도된 자궁내막의 증식 때문에 자궁내막암의 발생 빈도 증가와 관련된다. 규칙적인 프로제스틴의 투여는 반증식 효과를 통하여 자궁내막의 연속적인 에스트로젠 자극을 억제하여, 몇 개의 주름에 의해 에스트로젠을 받는 폐경기 여성에 있어서 자궁내막암의 비율을 감소시키는 것으로 보인다 (Barbieri et al.,Menopause Management, 7/8월, 12-24, 1992). 그러나, 에스트로젠과 프로제스틴의 조합은 바람직하지 않은 자궁출혈을 빈번하게 일으키며 프로제스틴에 의해 에스트로젠의 심혈관 효과가 최소화될 수 있는 단점이 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 일련의 동시 발생적인 프로제스틴을 더한 에스트로젠의 섭생은 현재 자궁이 있는 폐경기 여성에게 호르몬 대체 치료의 일반적인 형태로 사용된다.In particular, estrogen replacement therapy is a more complex issue for women with the uterus. Estrogen treatment is associated with an increased incidence of endometrial cancer due to proliferation of the endometrium induced by continuous 'competitive' estrogens. Regular administration of progestin seems to reduce the rate of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women who receive estrogen by several folds through the antiproliferative effect (Barbieri et al., Menopause Management , July / August, 12-24, 1992). However, the combination of estrogen and progestin frequently causes undesirable uterine bleeding and has the disadvantage that the cardiovascular effect of estrogen can be minimized by progestin. Nevertheless, estrogen's regimen, plus a series of concurrent progestins, is now used as a common form of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.
또한, 에스트로젠은 치매 치료에 효과적인 것으로 보고되었으며 (Black SE, Patterson C., Feightner J.,Can. J. Neurol. Sci.,Feb:28 Suppl 1:S56-66, 2001), 신경 보호 작용 (Dubal DB., Wise PM.,Endocrinology,Jan;142(1):43-8, 2001) 및 퇴행성 신경 질환에 대한 개선효과 (Kim H., Xia H., Li L., Gewin J.,Biofactors,12(1-4):243-50, 2000)를 나타낸다고 보고된 바 있다.In addition, estrogens have been reported to be effective in treating dementia (Black SE, Patterson C., Feightner J., Can. J. Neurol. Sci., Feb: 28 Suppl 1: S56-66, 2001), neuroprotective action (Dubal DB., Wise PM., Endocrinology, Jan; 142 (1): 43-8, 2001) and improvement effects on neurodegenerative diseases (Kim H., Xia H., Li L., Gewin J., Biofactors, 12 (1-4): 243-50, 2000).
한편, 황기 (Astragalus membranaceus)는 콩과 (Leguminosae)에 속하는 한약재로서, 신농본초경의 이시진의 해설에 따르면 색이 노랗고 오랜 동안 인체를 보한다는 의미에서 황기라는 이름이 붙여졌다고 한다. 우리나라에서는 예로부터 황기 뿌리를 인삼 다음의 보기약으로서 민간에서 많이 사용하여 왔고, 이외에도 강장제, 이뇨제, 지한제로서 다양하게 이용되었다. 특히, 한방에서는 보증익기탕, 황기건중탕, 십전대보탕, 가미대보탕, 팔보회춘탕, 청서익기탕 등 수백개 처방에 황기를 사용하고 있다.On the other hand, Astragalus membranaceus is a herb belonging to the legume (Leguminosae), according to the commentary of Ishjin of the New Farm, the color is yellow and is named in the sense of protecting the human body for a long time. Since ancient times, Astragalus root has been used a lot as a medicine after ginseng in the private sector, and it has been used variously as a tonic, diuretic, and antiperspirant. In particular, in oriental medicine, Hwanggi is used for hundreds of prescriptions such as Bogiikgitang, Hwanggigunjungtang, Jeopjeondaebotang, Kamidaebotang, Palbohoechuntang, and Cheongseoikgitang.
황기는 한국 이외에도 중국, 내몽고, 일본 (Hara;Pallas Subsp.Kita; Hands-Mazz.), 이집트, 불가리아 등에 분포하고, 우리나라에서는 중부 지방인 강원도 정선에서 양질의 황기가 많이 생산되는 것으로 알려져 있다.Astragalus is distributed not only in Korea, but also in China, Inner Mongolia, Japan (Hara; Pallas Subsp.Kita; Hands-Mazz.), Egypt, and Bulgaria.
지금까지 황기로부터 트리테르페노이드 글루코사이드 (triterpenoidglycoside) 계통과 플라보노이드 중 이소플라보노이드 계통이 구성 성분으로 주로 많이 보고되어 왔다. 구체적으로 황기에서 분리한 다당류가 암 환자에서 저하된 T 세포의기능을 향상시키는 것으로 보고된 바 있으며, 트리테르페노이드 및 플라보노이드는 항산화 활성, 항염증 활성 및 혈압 저하 활성이 있음이 알려져 있다 (Huaping, L., Yau, Z. O. and Bo, G., 1994, 3(102), 138-141; Geng, C. S., 1986, 6(1), 62-64); Zhang, Y. D. et al., 1992, 27(6), 401-406; Harborne, J. B. and Baxter, H., 1993, Taylor &Francis, London, Washington DC., pp 673; Tang, W. and Eisenbrand, G., 1992, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg,New York, pp.191).Until now, the triterpenoid glucoside (triterpenoidglycoside) line and the isoflavonoid line among flavonoids have been reported mainly as components. Specifically, polysaccharides isolated from Astragalus have been reported to improve the function of T cells in cancer patients, and triterpenoids and flavonoids are known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and blood pressure lowering activities (Huaping L., Yau, ZO and Bo, G., 1994, 3 (102), 138-141; Geng, CS, 1986, 6 (1), 62-64); Zhang, Y. D. et al., 1992, 27 (6), 401-406; Harborne, J. B. and Baxter, H., 1993, Taylor & Francis, London, Washington DC., Pp 673; Tang, W. and Eisenbrand, G., 1992, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, pp. 191).
이에 본 발명자들은 에스트로젠 대체 치료에 사용될 수 있는 천연물을 찾고자 예의 노력한 결과, 황기 추출물이 인간 에스트로젠 수용체에 대한 결합활성을 나타내는 에스트로젠 유사물질로서 폐경기 여성의 호르몬 대체 치료에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 밝힘으로써 본 발명을 완성하였다.Accordingly, the present inventors have made efforts to find a natural product that can be used for the treatment of estrogen replacement.

이하, 본 발명을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
본 발명은 에스트로젠 수용체에 결합활성을 나타내는 에스트로젠 유사물질을 생성하는 황기 추출물을 유효성분으로 하는 호르몬 대체 치료용 약학적 조성물을 제공한다.The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for hormone replacement therapy comprising the extract of Astragalus to produce an estrogen-like substance showing binding activity to the estrogen receptor.
본 발명의 약학적 조성물에 유효성분으로 함유되는 황기 추출물은 황기로부터 물 또는 저급 알콜을 이용하여 통상의 방법으로 추출하여 얻을 수 있다.Astragalus extract contained as an active ingredient in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be obtained by extracting from astragalus by a conventional method using water or lower alcohol.
예를 들어, 열수 추출방법은 황기를 건조시키고 분쇄하여 중량비로 1 내지 20배의 물을 가한 후 60 내지 100℃에서 1 ∼ 6시간 정도 추출하여 여과 또는 원심분리하고 상등액을 감압농축하여 황기의 추출물을 제조한다For example, the hot water extraction method is dried and pulverized sulfuric acid, added 1 to 20 times the water by weight ratio, and then extracted for 1 to 6 hours at 60 to 100 ℃ filtration or centrifugation and the supernatant concentrated under reduced pressure to extract the sulfuric acid Manufactures
또한, 저급 알콜 추출방법은 황기에 5 내지 20배의 저급 알콜을 가하고 60 내지 100℃로 가열하면서 1 내지 6시간 동안 환류하고 냉각 및 여과한 후 회전증발기를 이용하여 감압농축하여 황기 추출물을 얻으며, 이때 여과 후 남은 잔사에 대하여 여과 과정을 2회 이상 반복하여 실시할 수 있다. 이때, 저급 알콜로는 메탄올 또는 메탄올 수용액, 에탄올 또는 에탄올 수용액, 노말프로판올, 이소-프로판올, 노말 부탄올 및 이들의 혼합물을 사용할 수 있으며, 60 내지 80%의 에탄올이 가장 바람직하다.In addition, the lower alcohol extraction method is added to 5 to 20 times lower alcohol in sulfuric acid, refluxed for 1 to 6 hours while heating to 60 to 100 ℃, cooled and filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain a sulfuric acid extract, In this case, the filtration process may be repeated two or more times with respect to the residue remaining after filtration. In this case, as the lower alcohol, methanol or methanol aqueous solution, ethanol or ethanol aqueous solution, normal propanol, iso-propanol, normal butanol and mixtures thereof may be used, and ethanol of 60 to 80% is most preferred.
상기 추출방법에 의해 황기로부터 추출된 에탄올 추출물이 호르몬 활성 (hormonal activity)을 나타내는지 조사하기 위하여, 인간 에스트로젠 수용체 (human estrogen receptor)를 발현하는 재조합 효모 (recombinant yeast)에 상기 황기의 에탄올 추출물을 적용하여 반응 여부를 측정하였다.In order to investigate whether the ethanol extract extracted from Astragalus by the extraction method shows hormonal activity, the ethanol extract of Astragalus is applied to a recombinant yeast expressing a human estrogen receptor. The reaction was measured.
시험물질을 1 ㎎/㎖과 100 ㎍/㎖로 처리한 결과, 양성 대조군으로 사용된 17β-에스트라디올 (17β-estradiol, E2)과 비교할 때 유의적인 차이를 나타내었는데, 양성 대조군인 E2에 비하여 황기 추출물이 적용된 효모에서 높은 에스트로젠 생성능 (estrogenicity)이 관찰되었다.As a result of treatment of test substance with 1 mg / ml and 100 ㎍ / ml, there was a significant difference in comparison with 17β-estradiol (E2) used as a positive control.
