항암치료 부작용을 억제하는 효능을 가진 한약재 조성물{Composition for Suppressing the toxicity of anti-cancer treatment}Composition for Suppressing the toxicity of anti-cancer treatment

본 발명은 항암치료의 부작용을 억제하는 효능을 가진 한약재 조성물에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 현재 임상적으로 활용도가 가장 높은 화학요법제 5-플루오로우라실 (FU)과 방사선 조사의 부작용에 대한 억제 효능을 가진 한약재 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a herbal composition having an effect of suppressing side effects of chemotherapy, and more particularly, to inhibit side effects of fluorotherapy agent 5-fluorouracil (FU) and irradiation, which are currently the most clinically available. It relates to a herbal composition having efficacy.

수십 년 전부터 화학합성 또는 천연물 분리의 방법에 의해 많은 우수한 항암제 및 항암요법이 개발되어왔고 최근 국내에서도 SK에서 선플라주 화학요법제를 국내신약 1호로 개발한 바 있다. 이러한 노력에 의해 지난 수십 년간 암의 치료율이 획기적으로 향상되었으나 국소적인 암 병소의 제거에만 초점을 맞춘 기존 암 치료법은 환자의 삶의 질 저하라는 큰 문제를 야기하여 최근에는 화학요법 및 방사선 요법의 부작용으로 인한 삶의 질 저하를 개선해야할 필요성이 시급히 대두되고 있다.Decades ago, many excellent anticancer agents and anticancer therapies have been developed by chemical synthesis or natural product separation methods. Recently, SK has developed SunPlae chemotherapeutic agents as the first domestic drug in Korea. These efforts have dramatically improved the rate of cancer treatment over the past decades, but existing cancer therapies that focus solely on the elimination of local cancer lesions have caused a major problem of poor quality of life for patients. There is an urgent need to improve the deterioration of quality of life.

화학요법제 5-플루오로우라실 (FU)은 1957년 최초로 합성되었으며 아직까지도 임상에서 널리 쓰이고 있다 (Duschinsky 등, 1957). 암세포 내에서 활성 뉴클레오티드로 전환되어 티미딜래이트 합성효소를 억제함으로써 세포의 DNA 합성을 저해하는 항암제인 5-플루오로우라실 는 유방암, 대장암, 직장암, 위암, 췌장암, 식도암, 간암, 두경부암, 방광암에 임상적으로 광범위하게 쓰이며 피부암에도 국소적으로 사용되고 있다. 조혈독성이 용량제한적(dose-limiting) 부작용으로 알려져 있으며 그 밖의 부작용으로는 심각한 위염, 식도염, 직장염, 설사 등의 소화기계 부작용이 강하며 또한 피부의 색소과다증도 종종 보고되고 있다 (Skeel, 1999b). 또한 실험동물을 이용한 기초연구를 통하여 5-플루오로우라실은 마우스에서 백혈구 수치의 감소 등의 조혈독성과 소장점막 슈크라제 활성 감소, 설사유발 등의 소화기 독성, 비장중량감소, 임파구감소 등의 면역독성을 유발함이 보고되었다 (Kumura 와 Okuda, 1999).The chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (FU) was first synthesized in 1957 and is still widely used in clinical practice (Duschinsky et al., 1957). 5-Fluorouracil, an anticancer agent that converts into active nucleotides in cancer cells and inhibits thymidylate synthase, inhibits DNA synthesis of the cells, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, head and neck cancer, It is widely used clinically for bladder cancer and is also used topically for skin cancer. Hematopoietic toxicity is known as a dose-limiting side effect. Other side effects are severe gastrointestinal side effects such as severe gastritis, esophagitis, proctitis, and diarrhea, and hyperpigmentation of the skin is often reported (Skeel, 1999b). . In addition, 5-Fluorouracil has been shown to reduce hematopoietic toxicity, such as decreased white blood cell counts, decreased intestinal mucosal sucrase activity, digestive toxicity such as diarrhea, spleen weight loss, and lymphocyte reduction. Toxicity has been reported (Kumura and Okuda, 1999).

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 항암제 및 방사선의 항암효능에 영향을 주지 않으면서 부작용의 억제효능을 가진 한약재 조성물을 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a herbal composition having an inhibitory effect of side effects without affecting the anticancer efficacy of anticancer agents and radiation.

방사선 단독치료군의 혈중백혈구 수치는 최초 5240 cells/uL에서 4주간의 치료후 3900 cells/uL로 감소하였다. 방사선-KH 병용치료군에서는 최초 백혈구 수치는 5250 cells/uL이었고 4주후의 백혈수 수치는 4680 cells/uL으로 감소폭이 미미하였다. 방사선-KH 병용군은 방사선단독치료군에 비해 3주 후 및 4주 후에 뚜렷한 백혈구 수치의 증가경향성을 보여주었다. 통계분석결과 3주후 및 4주후에 있어서 p value는 각각 0.077과 0.083으로 일반적인 기준으로 널리 쓰이는 0.05보다는 약간 크지만 0.1보다는 충분히 작으므로 통계적인 의미가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 샘플 수(n)가 각 군 당 10명으로 작은 점을 볼 때에 샘플수를 늘인다면 통계적 유의성이 높아질 것으로 보인다.Serum leukocyte levels in the radiation alone group decreased from the initial 5240 cells / uL to 3900 cells / uL after 4 weeks of treatment. In the radiation-KH combination group, the initial leukocyte count was 5250 cells / uL and the leukocyte count after 4 weeks was 4680 cells / uL. The radiation-KH group showed a marked increase in leukocyte counts after 3 and 4 weeks compared to the radiotherapy group. As a result of statistical analysis, at 3 weeks and 4 weeks, p value is 0.077 and 0.083, respectively, which is slightly larger than 0.05 widely used as a general standard, but smaller than 0.1, which is statistically significant. In addition, when the number of samples (n) is small as 10 persons in each group, increasing the number of samples seems to increase the statistical significance.

방사선 단독치료군의 혈중백혈구 수치는 최초 232700 cells/uL에서 4주간의 치료후 200700 cells/uL로 약간 감소하였다. 방사선-KH 병용치료군에서는 최초 백혈구 수치는 246700 cells/uL이었고 4주후의 백혈수 수치는 196000 cells/uL으로 방사선단독치료군에 비해 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 통계분석결과 전 치료기간에 있어서 p value는 0.7이상으로 통계적인 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 본 결과는 방사선에 의한 조혈독성의 주요 Target은 혈소판보다는 백혈구임을 제시하고 있으며 또한 KH가 혈소판 보다는 백혈구를 보호하는 작용이 있음을 보여주고 있다. 결과를 표 10 및 도 13에 게시하였다.Serum leukocyte levels in the radiation alone group decreased slightly from the original 232700 cells / uL to 200700 cells / uL after 4 weeks of treatment. In the radiation-KH combination group, the initial leukocyte count was 246700 cells / uL and the leukemia level after 4 weeks was 196000 cells / uL, which was not significantly different from the radiotherapy group. As a result of statistical analysis, the p value was more than 0.7 in all treatment periods. The results suggest that the main target of hematopoietic toxicity by radiation is leukocytes rather than platelets, and that KH has a protective effect on leukocytes rather than platelets. The results are posted in Table 10 and FIG. 13.

2-3. 백혈구 감소증2-3. Leukopenia

KH가 백혈구 회복 작용이 강하게 관찰되었으므로 치료기간중의 백혈구 감소증 발생 빈도를 비교하여 보았다. 결과를 하기 표 11 및 도 14에 게시하였다. 4주간의 치료기간에 있어서 방사선 단독치료군의 40%에서 백혈구 감소증이 발생하였으나, 방사선-KH 병용치료군에서는 20%에서만 백혈구 감소증이 발생하여 발생률을 절반으로 감소시켰다.Because KH showed strong leukocyte recovery, we compared the incidence of leukopenia during the treatment period. The results are published in Table 11 and FIG. 14 below. In 4 weeks of treatment, leukopenia developed in 40% of the radiation alone group, but only 20% in the radiation-KH combination group reduced the incidence rate by half.

상기 실시에에서 확인한 바와 같이, 5-플루오로우라실(FU) 처리후의 조혈독성에 있어서 본 발명의 한약재 조성물의 농도에 따라 혈소판 수치가 유의적으로 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었고, 백혈구 수치에 있어서도, 본 발명의 조성물의 복용량e에 따라 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. IL2와 IFN-γ의 발현량으로 알아본 면역증강 효과는, IL2의 경우 1HD KH에서 거의 정상치 만큼 회복하였고, IFN-γ의 발현은 10HD에서 92%정도 회복되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. In situ hybridization을 통해 알아본 비장에서 IL2의 mRNA 발현량에 있어서도, 본 발명의 조성물을 병용 처리시 발현량의 현격한 상승을 보였다. 반면에 항암효능에 있어서는 5-FU 단독처리시와 비교하여 여러 복용량의 본 발명의 조성물의 병용 처리시에도 동일한 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과들로 미루어볼 때, 본 발명의 조성물은 5-FU의 항암효능을 그대로 유지하면서 조혈계의 부작용을 선별적으로 억제하는데 유용하다.As confirmed in the above embodiment, in hematopoietic toxicity after 5-Fluorouracil (FU) treatment, it was confirmed that the platelet level significantly increased with the concentration of the herbal composition of the present invention. There was a tendency to increase with the dose e of the composition of the present invention. The immunopotentiating effects of IL2 and IFN-γ expression levels were restored to almost normal levels at 1HD KH for IL2 and IFN-γ expression was restored to 92% at 10HD. The mRNA expression level of IL2 in the spleen determined through in situ hybridization also showed a marked increase in the expression level when the composition of the present invention was treated in combination. On the other hand, the anti-cancer effect showed the same effect in the combination treatment of the composition of the present invention in various doses compared with the 5-FU treatment alone. In view of these results, the composition of the present invention is useful for selectively suppressing side effects of the hematopoietic system while maintaining the anticancer efficacy of 5-FU.

또한, 방사선치료 환자에서 본 발명의 조성물의 복용을 병행하는 경우 방사선치료 완성률이 2배 증가하며 백혈구 감소증 발생률이 50%로 감소함이 관찰되었다.In addition, when the combination of the composition of the present invention in combination with the radiation therapy patients, it was observed that the completion rate of radiation therapy was increased by 2 times and the incidence of leukopenia decreased by 50%.
