Description

Crude drug composition for treating or alleviating inflammatory disease

The present invention relates to a composition for the treatment or improvement of inflammatory diseases containing herbal extracts.

Inflammation is the expression of in vivo defense mechanisms against various forms of infection or stimulants in metabolites in vivo, and various chemical mediators are involved in the mechanism of inflammation. Complex. Existing anti-inflammatory drugs are classified into steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Most of the synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs have various side effects in addition to the main action, so the effects are excellent and the development of anti-inflammatory drugs with fewer side effects is urgently required. It is true.

Arthritis is a disease characterized by symptoms such as swelling and redness in which softening and pain last for more than two weeks. Arthritis can be classified into at least 100 forms, but the most common causes are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative arthritis, is caused by the destruction of the cartilage that surrounds the bones due to ageing of the joints, causing severe pain and joint stiffness, and in most cases called 'spurs'. The protrusions on the bone grow, making the pain even worse. Osteoarthritis, in particular, is a degenerative disease that occurs in older people with reduced metabolism and cell regeneration, and its basic treatment is almost impossible. Surgical surgery, drug therapy, and physical therapy are being performed. There are many risks of side effects. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that causes chronic non-bacterial inflammatory reactions in the synovial membrane of the joints or tendons (tendons), causing the synovial membrane to proliferate and the amount of synovial fluid to increase, leading to swelling and pain in the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory reaction that affects many tissues and organs (skin, blood vessels, heart lungs, muscles) in the human body, especially the joints, which causes irreversible proliferative synovitis, which leads to the destruction of articular cartilage and Proceeds to rigidity. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not known yet, but autoimmune reactions are known to play an important role in the chronic and progression of the disease. In other words, T cell plays an important role with local release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, resulting in a sustained autoimmune reaction that destroys joints. The main symptoms are fatigue, weakness, and pain. As it progresses, it is accompanied by fever and weakness. In addition, muscle atrophy and muscle spasm appear near the inflamed joint, affecting joint movement.

In modern times, arthritis is a general disease that has become low and widespread due to the rapid increase in obesity patients due to changes in eating habits and the development of traffic, but there is no selective treatment drug since the mechanism of arthritis is not known yet. Therefore, the purpose of the treatment of arthritis is to reduce the pain and inflammation of the joint, and to prevent the deformation of the joint. Since there is no fundamental treatment for arthritis, basic therapy is physical and exercise therapy, and moderate nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to relieve inflammation, and if inflammation is severe, gold salt therapy or penicillamine ) Therapy is performed. If the above method is ineffective, a steroid (steroid) agent is used, and if refractory is used, an immunosuppressant is used, and when transitioned to osteoarthritis, surgery is performed. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects on arthritis, mainly inhibit cyclooxygenase and inhibit the production of prostaglandin, which is involved in inflammatory reactions. Among them, indomethacin and phenylbutazone have stronger anti-inflammatory effects than other NSAIDs. Indomethacin is one of the most potent drugs that inhibit the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, and is well absorbed by oral administration.In addition to the common gastrointestinal side effects seen in NSAIDs, indomethacin is associated with dizziness, delirium, and rarely hallucinations. Psychosis is severe enough to be reported and has many side effects, such as 33% of patients at high doses have to stop taking the drug. Phenylbutazone has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gouty arthritis in comparison to other NSAIDs in the early stages of use, but is not currently used due to severe toxicity including hematologic abnormalities causing granulocytopenia or aplastic anemia. Compared to these NSAIDs, steroid preparations are the fastest methods available to patients, and are known to have fast and dramatic anti-inflammatory effects and delight patients. However, as is widely known, the drug weakens resistance to bacterial infections, causes diabetes to worse, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, and mental dysfunction. It is known to be difficult to use because it is difficult and should be prohibited if possible. As described above, since synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs often have various side effects, the development of anti-inflammatory drugs having strong effects and relatively low side effects as described above are constantly required. In particular, in terms of efficacy and side effects, herbal medicines and natural products, which have abundant clinical experience and excellent evaluation in terms of safety, are considered to be more likely to be developed as arthritis therapeutic drugs. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy of herbal combinations, which are used clinically in patients with arthritis and anti-inflammatory and anti- analgesic effect.

After 14 days of oral administration of the test substance using SD male rats weighing 150-170 g, 0.1 ml of a 1% type IV lambda carrageenan-saline solution was used as a prophylactic agent on the 15th day of the rat's right hind paw. Edema was induced by subcutaneous injection of the plantar central part of the plant (Winter et al . , Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med ., 111 , pp544-547. 1962). 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours after the administration of the basement, the volume of the foot was measured with a plethysmometer (Ugo Basile, Italy). The increase rate of edema was calculated by comparing with (Equation 1). In addition, the edema inhibition rate was calculated by comparing the edema growth rate of the control group and the edema growth rate of the test substance administration group (see Equation 2). Phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

After repeated administration of CML-Ex for 2 weeks, the results of observing the changes in the foot edema of rats that caused foot edema with 1% carrageenan are shown in Table 3 below.

In the control group administered only the physiological saline solution, the volume of the foot was increased by 29.1% after 1 hour by carrageenan administration, and then increased continuously to 76.6% by 4 hours. Two hours after induction of edema, the CML-Ex 100, 300 and 600 mg / kg dose groups showed edema growth rates of 33.4%, 37.4% and 36.9%, respectively, significantly inhibiting edema compared to the control edema growth rate of 50.5%. . This edema inhibition lasted up to 6 hours of edema induction. The phenylbutazone-administered group, a positive control drug, showed significant edema inhibition compared to the control group over the entire time period of carrageenan-induced edema.

1-3. Anti-inflammatory efficacy test: Carrageenan-induced granuloma

According to the method of Churufuji et al. (Tsurufuji TS, et al . ; J. Pharmacobiodyn. , 2 , pp113-118, 1979), 8 ml of air was injected into the dorsal subcutaneous of 180-200 g of the SD male rats. An air bag was made and after 24 hours 4 ml of 2% carrageenan-physiological saline solution was injected into the bag. On day 8, the granulation bag was dissected and the volume of intracapsular effusion and the wet weight of granulation were measured and compared with the control group. Test substance was orally administered from day 1 for 7 days, and phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

After forming granulomas as described above, CML-Ex was administered for 7 days, and the granules were dissected to measure the amount of exudates in the capsule and the wet weight of granulation.

In the control group administered only the physiological saline solution, the weight and exudates of the granuloma formed by carrageenan were 7.3 g and 18.3 ml, respectively. Granulocytes produced at the administration of CML-Ex 30 and 300 mg / kg were 5.6 g and 3.9 g, respectively, which significantly inhibited the formation of granulomas. However, the amount of exudates in all doses of CML-Ex did not differ from the control. The phenylbutazone-administered group used as a positive control drug significantly reduced granulomas and exudates, respectively, to 4.6 g and 8.1 ml, respectively.

1-4. Anti-inflammatory efficacy test: Adjuvant-induced arthritis

According to the method of Claude VW, et al., Arthritis and Rheumatism , 12 , pp472-482, 1969, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was achieved using 150-170 g of SD male rats. Complete Freund's adjuvant, contained at a concentration of mg / ml, was injected intradermal at a dose of 0.1 ml / paw in the center of the right hind plantar of the rat. Test substance is administered orally at the same time for 20 days after adjuvant administration, and once every two days, the degree of edema is measured by a plethysmometer, an edema measuring instrument, and the edema growth rate and edema inhibition rate according to Equations 1 and 2 above. Was calculated and compared with the control. Indomethacin (1 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

As described above, after inducing arthritis of the rat with a complete-problem adjuvant, the change in the edema rate when 20 days repeated administration of CML-Ex is shown in Table 5 below.

The average edema rate of the control group was maintained at a constant level throughout the test at 59.5% after 2 days of adjuvant administration, 51.2% after 10 days and 53.5% after 20 days. In the CML-Ex 30 mg / kg dose group, the mean edema rate was 39.6% at 18 days of administration, which showed a significant inhibition of edema compared to the mean edema rate of 54.9% of the same time control group. There was no difference. The CML-Ex 100 mg / kg dose group had an average edema rate of 72.2% and 57.7% at 4 and 12 days, respectively, compared with the control group. In contrast, the CML-Ex 300 mg / kg dose group significantly suppressed edema from the 4th day of administration, and the average edema rates were 22.2% and 23.7% at 8 and 10 days of administration, respectively. The percentage of edema was significantly reduced compared to%, and this reduction persisted over the entire trial period except days 14, 16 and 20 of dosing. In the CML-Ex 600 mg / kg dose group, the average edema rate was 28.6% at 10 days of administration, which was significantly reduced compared to the control group. Indomethacin, used as a positive control drug, suppressed adjuvant-induced edema over the entire test period except days 12 and 16.

1-5. Anti-inflammatory efficacy test Acetic acid-induced vascular permeability

According to the method of Whittle BA . ; Brit. J. Pharmacol. , 22 , pp246-253, 1964, test substances were orally administered to 25-28 g of ICR male mice fasted 12 hours before the test. . 30 minutes after administration, 2.5% Evans blue solution (0.1 mL / 10 g body weight) was administered through the tail vein, and 20 minutes later, 0.1 mL / 10 g of 0.6% acetic acid saline solution. Intraperitoneal injection at a dose of body weight induced vascular permeability hyperactivity. After 20 minutes, the mouse was lethal to the cervical dislocation, 5 ml of saline was added to the abdominal cavity, the abdomen was gently shaken, and the washing solution was taken. The wash solution was centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then the supernatant was taken and the absorbance was measured at 630 nm using a spectrophotometer to calculate the amount of Evans Blue leaked into the abdominal cavity. Phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

Table 6 summarizes the results. In the control group administered only the physiological saline solution, the amount of Evans Blue leaked into the abdominal cavity was 52.7 mg / 10 g body weight. In the CML-Ex 30, 300 and 600 mg / kg dose group, the amount of Evans Blue intraperitoneally decreased to 34.2, 34.8 and 28.9 mg / 10 g body weight, respectively, compared to the control group. In the CML-Ex 100 mg / kg dose group, the amount of Evans Blue leaked into the abdominal cavity was 39.1 mg / 10 g body weight, but there was no statistical significance, but it was decreased. Phenylbutazone, which was used as a positive control drug, significantly inhibited the amount of acetic acid-induced intraperitoneal Evans Blue exudation.

2-2. Analgesic evaluation experiment: Acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome

The test substance CML-Ex was orally administered to 25-28 g of ICR male mice fasted 12 hours before the test. Thirty minutes after administration, 0.7% acetic acid-physiological saline solution was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 0.1 ml / 10 g body weight to determine the incidence of writhing syndrome for 10 minutes from 5 minutes after pain was induced (Koster Et al., Fed. Proc ., 18 , pp 412-418. 1959). As a positive control drug, phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used.

As shown in the following Table 8, in the control group administered only the preparation solvent, the number of occurrences of the warpage phenomenon was 26.7 times / 10 minutes. Doses of CML-Ex 30, 100 and 300 mg / kg were 22.9, 23.3 and 18.7 times / 10 min, with no difference from the control group, respectively. However, in the CML-Ex 600 mg / kg dose group, the number of distortions was 13.1 times / 10 minutes, which showed a significant inhibition compared to the control group. Phenylbutazone used as a positive control significantly inhibited the recovery of torsion induced by acetic acid.

2-3. Analgesic test: Randall-Selitto assay

The test was performed according to the method of Randall LD, Selitto JJ . ; Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn ., 111 , pp 409-419, 1957. That is, the test substance was orally administered to 220-240 g SD male rats fasted 18 hours before the test. Thirty minutes after administration, 20% Brewer's yeast suspension was injected subcutaneously into the posterior foot plantar area of the rat to induce inflammation, using analgesymeter (Ugo Basile, Italy) at 32 g / sec. When the weight was applied, the weight of the rat at the moment when the rat was about to remove the foot was multiplied by the weight and expressed as a threshold value. Pressure thresholds were measured at 30 minutes before yeast administration, 30 minutes after administration, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours. Phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

The results are shown in Table 9. The tenderness threshold in the control group administered only the preparation solvent was continuously decreased to 139.4 g, 99.3 g and 82.8 g at 30 minutes, 2 hours and 4 hours after yeast administration, respectively. The pressure threshold of yeast-induced inflammatory tissue in all doses of CML-Ex did not differ from the control. Phenylbutazone, a positive control drug, significantly increased the tenderness threshold at 2, 3, and 4 hours after yeast administration, 160.6 g, 168.6 g, and 140.8 g, respectively.

2-4. Analgesic efficacy evaluation experiment: hot plate test

25-28 g of ICR male mice were fasted 12 hours before the test, and the pain response was carefully placed on a hot plate (Ugo Basile, Italy) maintained at 55 ° C and jumped from touching the hot plate. The pain response due to the sensation was measured by measuring the time to sec (Wolfe G, MacDonald AD . ; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther ., 80, pp 300-307, 1944). Test substance CML-Ex was administered orally 30 minutes prior to testing, and phenylbutazone (50 mg / kg body weight) was used as a positive control.

As shown in the results of Table 10, the reaction time was 57.9 seconds in the control group administered only the preparation solvent. Pain response time was not significantly different from the control group in all CML-Ex dose groups. The response time in the phenylbutazone-administered group, a positive control drug, was 85.6 seconds, which was significantly increased compared to the control group.

Experimental Example 3. Toxicity Test

3-1. Single dose toxicity test

To investigate the presence of toxicity by oral administration of test substance CML-Ex to rats, five male and female rats of SD line were administered at three doses of 1 g / kg, 2 g / kg and 5 g / kg, respectively. Single oral administration was followed for 14 days of death, general symptoms, body weight change, and autopsy findings. The result of this test is as follows.

(1) During the test period, there were no deaths observed in all the CML-Ex administration groups during the whole test period, and no change in general symptoms observed compared to the control group.

(2) Body weight change showed significant weight loss on day 3 post-administration in 5 g / kg dose group of male CML-Ex, but not in all other groups.

As a result, no clinical symptoms were observed in all the test substance-treated groups compared to the death and control groups, and there were almost no specific symptoms in the anatomical changes at the time of body weight and autopsy. In addition, since CML-Ex did not show a clear toxicity at doses of 5 g / kg or less, LD ₁₀ (lethal dose) in rats of CML-Ex by oral administration was determined to be 5 g / kg or more.
