The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including fortified wormwood extract, the fortified wormwood extract of the present invention is excellent in the protective effect of the body in vivo as a prophylaxis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease Can be used.

강화약쑥 (Artemisa spp)은 쑥잎의 생김새가 꼭 사자발 모양으로 갈라져서 마디마디 착생하고 뒷면에 흰 털이 나있기 때문에 사자발쑥이라고 부르며, 전통 재래쑥인 싸주아리쑥과 비슷하다. 이 강화약쑥은 유기질이 많고, 물빠짐이 좋으면 햇볕이 잘 드는 바닷가의 해발 100 m 내외의 산자락에 자생하며, 잎과 뿌리 줄기에 각기 다른 효능을 가진 약액 성분이 함유되어 있어서 각종 질병의 예방 및 치료제로 널리 이용되고 있다. 키는 70 ㎝ 내외로 곧게 자라며, 특유의 향을 발하고, 비타민 A, B, C, 카로틴, 치네올, 아밀라제 성분 등이 있으며, 그 효능으로는 지혈조경, 항균소염, 위장병, 호흡기 질환 등에 약효가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다.Ganghwa wormwood ( Artemisa spp ) is called lion foot wormwood because the appearance of wormwood leaves is divided into lion foot shape and the node grows with white hairs on the back. This strengthened medicinal plant is rich in organic matter, and if it is well drained, it grows in the foot of 100 m above sea level on sunny beaches, and the leaf and rhizome contain the medicinal ingredients with different effects, preventing and treating various diseases. It is widely used as. It grows up to about 70 cm in height, gives off a distinctive scent, and contains vitamins A, B, C, carotene, cineol, amylase, etc., and its effects include hemostasis, antibacterial, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. It is known that there is.

염증성 장질환 (Inflammatory bowel disease, IBD)은 위장관 내에 만성적인 염증을 유발하는 질환으로, 흔히 궤양성 대장염 (Ulcerative colitis, UC)과 크론 병 (Cron's disease, CD)의 2가지 형태로 분류된다. 상기 염증성 장질환의 발병 원인 및 치료에 있어 중요한 면역학적 요인으로는 선천적 면역성, 시토카인 (Cytokine)의 생성, CD4의 활성화 등이 포함된다. 염증성 장질환의 발명과 연구에 있어서 시토카인의 역할에 대한 증거는 명확하다.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disease that causes chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, and is commonly classified into two types: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Important immunological factors in the cause and treatment of the inflammatory bowel disease include innate immunity, production of cytokines, activation of CD4, and the like. Evidence for the role of cytokines in the invention and research of inflammatory bowel disease is clear.

시토카인은 염증 및 면역반응 조절에 영향을 주는 중요한 요인으로, 최근 전염증성 시토카인 (pro-inflammatory cytokine)의 생성에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 또한, 염증 부위에서 종양괴사인자 (Tumor nerosis cytokine; TNF-α), 인터루킨 (Interluekin; IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 생성이 궤양성 대장염과 크론병 환자에게 현저하게 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 환자들의 시토카인에 생산 조절에 대한 연구는 이들 질병에 있어서 병리 생리학적으로 매우 중요함을 보여 준다 (Sartor RB, Cher, D. J et al., 1987).Cytokines are important factors influencing the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. Recently, studies on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine have been made. In addition, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), Interluekin (IL) -1, IL-6, and IL-8 production at the site of inflammation were significantly increased in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's patients. It became. Studies on the regulation of cytokine production in patients show that the pathophysiology is very important in these diseases (Sartor RB, Cher, D. J et al ., 1987).

IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10은 궤양성 대장염 및 크론병에서의 염증의 시작, 조절, 기능에 있어 중요한 요인들이다 (Lin CC et al., 1996; Kojouharoff et al., 1997; Obermeier F et al., 1999; Neurath MF et al., 1995; Schreiber S et al., 1995; Seder RA et al., 1993). 이와 같이 면역학적 요인은 염증성 장질환의 발병 원인 뿐 아니라 치료에 있어서도 중요시 되고 있다.IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 are important factors in the initiation, control and function of inflammation in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (Lin CC et al ., 1996; Kojouharoff et al ., 1997; Obermeier F et al ., 1999; Neurath MF et al ., 1995; Schreiber S et al ., 1995; Seder RA et al ., 1993). As such, immunological factors are important in the treatment as well as the cause of the development of inflammatory bowel disease.

임상실험을 위하여 염증성 장질환 동물 모델의 확립은 필수적이다. 염증성 장질환 동물 모델을 확립하는 방법으로는, 덱스트란 소듐 설페이트 (Dextran sodium sulfate; DSS) 등의 외인 시료 (Exogenous agent)를 사용하는 방법과, IL-2, IL-10, T 세포 수용체 결핍 쥐(T cell receptor-deficient mice)를 만드는 유전 적 처리 (genetically engineered) 방법 등 여러 가지가 있으나, 5% 덱스트란 소듐 설페이트 (DSS)로 궤양성 대장염을 유발한 동물 모델이 가장 좋은 모델임이 보고되었다. The establishment of animal models of inflammatory bowel disease is essential for clinical trials. In order to establish an inflammatory bowel disease animal model, exogenous agents such as dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) are used, and IL-2, IL-10, and T cell receptor deficient mice. Although there are many ways of genetically engineered to make T cell receptor-deficient mice, it has been reported that the animal model that caused ulcerative colitis with 5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) is the best model.

또한, DSS로 대장염을 유발시킨 동물 모델은 사람의 궤양성 대장염 증상과 유사한 증상을 나타내었다.In addition, animal models of colitis induced by DSS showed symptoms similar to those of ulcerative colitis in humans.

한편, 대식세포는 면역반응에서 여러 자기 역할을 하는데, 특이적인 면역반응을 일으키는 과정에서 임파구에 항원을 노출시킬 때 항원제시세포 (antigen presenting cell, APC)로서 중요한 역할을 하며, 부분적으로는 시토카인을 비롯한 여러 가지 물질을 분비함으로서 임파구에 의한 면역반응에 대하여 보조 역할을 하고 있다.On the other hand, macrophages play several roles in the immune response, which play an important role as antigen presenting cells (APCs) when exposing antigens to lymphocytes in the process of generating specific immune responses. By secreting a variety of substances, it plays a role in the immune response caused by lymphocytes.

대식세포는 여러 가지 생리학적, 약물학적으로 중요한 관심을 끌고 있는 지질다당질 (Lipopolysaccharide; LPS) 와 같은 자극 물질로 자극하면 반응하는 성질이 있다. 대식세포가 이러한 물질에 반응하면 시토카인을 비롯한 분자량이 32 내지 440 kDa 까지 다양한 물질을 생성하고, 세포 융해성 단백질 분해효소와 종양괴사인자 (TNF-α)와 같은 암세포 분해 효소를 분비한다.Macrophages have the property of reacting when stimulated with stimulants such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are of physiological and pharmacological interest. When macrophages react to these substances, they produce a variety of substances, including cytokines, ranging from 32 to 440 kDa, and secrete cancer cell lytic enzymes such as cytolytic proteolytic enzymes and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α).

실험예 3. 아질산염 (Nitrite) 측정Experimental Example 3. Measurement of nitrite

시토카인에 의하여 Raw 264.7 세포에서 발생하는 아질산염을 측정하기 위하여 Griess 반응을 이용하였다. 이 방법은 Griess 시약의 디아조 (diazo) 기가 아질산염과 만나면 분홍색으로 변하게 되는 색깔 반응을 이용한 것이다.The Griess reaction was used to measure the nitrites generated in Raw 264.7 cells by cytokines. This method uses a color reaction in which the diazo group of the Griess reagent turns pink when it meets nitrite.

Raw 264.7 세포 1×106 개/㎖를 6 well plate에 2 ㎖씩 페놀 레드 (phenol red)가 포함되어 있지 아니한 DMEM 배지에 심어 37℃, 5% CO2 배양기에서 24시간 동안 배양한 후, 상기 실시예 1에서 제조한 강화약쑥 추출물 및 LPS로 처리하여 시간대별로 배양하였다. 6 ml of raw 264.7 cells / ml 6 ml / ml in 6 well plates were planted in DMEM medium containing no phenol red and incubated in a 37 ° C., 5% CO 2 incubator for 24 hours. It was incubated with time zone by treatment with fortified wormwood extract prepared in Example 1 and LPS.

배양 후, 아질산염 측정을 위해 상층액 100 ㎕를 96 well/plate에 취하고, 동량의 Griess 시약 (시그마 케미칼사, St. Louis, MO, 미국)을 첨가하여 상온의 어두운 곳에서 10분간 반응시킨 다음, 마이크로리더를 이용하여 UV 550 ㎚에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 아질산염 농도는 아질산나트륨 (NaNO2)을 사용하여 얻은 표준 직선과 비교하여 산출하고, 그 결과를 도 2 에 나타내었다.After incubation, 100 μl of the supernatant was measured in 96 wells / plate for nitrite measurement, and reacted for 10 minutes in a dark place at room temperature by adding an equal amount of Griess reagent (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO, USA).

The nitrite concentration was calculated by comparing with a standard straight line obtained using sodium nitrite (NaNO 2 ), and the results are shown in FIG. 2.

일산화질소 (NO)는 자유라디칼 (free radical) 중 하나로, 매우 불안정한 분자이다. 일산화질소는 산소나 초산화물 (superoxide) 에 의하여 NO2, N2O3, N2O4, 아질산염 (nitrite; NO2-) 및 질산염 (nitrate; NO3-)와 같은 안정한 질소산화물로 바뀌어 진다. 일산화질소는 L-아르기닌 (L-arginine)으로부터 NOS (nitric oxide synthase)에 의해 만들어지며, NOS는 항상성 유지에 필요한 일산화질소를 생성하는 내피 (endothelial) NOS 및 신경세포 NOS (neuronal NOS; nNOS)와 염증성 인장 등에 의해 유도되는 iNOS 로 분류할 수 있다.Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is one of the free radicals and is a very unstable molecule. Nitrogen monoxide is converted to stable nitrogen oxides such as NO 2 , N 2 O 3 , N 2 O 4 , nitrite (NO 2- ) and nitrate (NO 3- ) by oxygen or superoxide. . Nitrogen monoxide is produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) from L-arginine, which is composed of endothelial NOS and neuronal NOS (nNOS), which produce nitric oxide, which is required for homeostasis. Or iNOS induced by inflammatory tension or the like.

Raw 264.7 세포의 배양액에 강화약쑥 추출물의 농도를 달리하여 아질산염의 생성을 농도 의존적으로 처리한 결과, LPS군에서는 아질산염의 생산량이 증가한 반면, 본 발명의 강화약쑥 추출물을 첨가함에 따라 아질산염의 생산량이 대조군(CON군)까지 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다 (도 2 참조).As a result of the concentration-dependent treatment of the production of nitrite by varying the concentration of the extract of Fortified Mugwort in the culture medium of Raw 264.7 cells, the production of Nitrite was increased in the LPS group, whereas the amount of Nitrite was added to the control group according to the present invention. (CON group) was confirmed to decrease (see Fig. 2).

즉, 강화약쑥 추출물의 농도가 100 ㎍/㎖ 일 때 아질산염의 생성량은 LPS 1 ㎍/㎖ 처리했을 경우 보다 아질산염의 생성량이 감소하여 강한 면역반응을 나타냄을 확인하였다. That is, it was confirmed that when the concentration of the extract of strengthened wormwood extract is 100 ㎍ / ㎖ nitrite production was reduced nitrite production than LPS 1 ㎍ / ㎖ showed a strong immune response.

The amount of was analyzed.

TNF (종양괴사인자)는 두 종류가 있는데, 주로 TNF-α는 단핵구나 대식세포에서 생산되고, TNF-β는 림프구에서 생산된다. 이중 TNF-α는 염증매개성 시토카인으로서 생체 내에서 단독 또는 INF-γ와 같은 시토카인과 작용하여 종양의 혈관을 손상시킴으로써 종양괴사인자를 유발시키거나 미생물에 의한 감염에 대하여 숙 주의 저항성을 유도시킨다. 그러나, 방사선이나 극심한 자극체에 대해서는 급격한 과다 생성은 생체에 매우 해로운 영향을 미친다. TNF-α는 조직, 장기, 종양, 세포주 (cell line) 등 광범위하게 iNOS의 발현을 유도할 수 있다.There are two types of TNF (tumor necrosis factor), mainly TNF-α is produced in monocytes or macrophages, and TNF-β is produced in lymphocytes. TNF-α is an inflammation mediated cytokine, either in vivo or by interacting with a cytokine such as INF-γ to induce tumor necrosis factor or induce host resistance to microbial infection. However, for radiation or severe stimuli, rapid overproduction has a very detrimental effect on the living body. TNF-α can induce iNOS expression in a wide range of tissues, organs, tumors, cell lines, and the like.

한편, T 세포는 Th1 과 Th2 세포로 나뉘어져 있는데, Th1 림프구에서 INF-γ가 발현이 되는데, 이 INF-γ는 염증을 유발시키는 많은 시토카인 중에 하나이다. INF-γ는 STAT1의 발현에 의해서 생성이 되고, 염증 유발을 촉진시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 염증성 장질환 동물모델에서 STAT1, p-STAT1, INF-γ의 단백질 발현을 분석한 결과, DSS군에서는 STAT1, p-STAT1, INF-γ의 발현량이 증가한데 반해, 강화약쑥 군에서는 발현량에는 변화가 없었고, DSS + 강화약쑥 군에서는 DSS 군과 비교해 볼 때 발현량이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 상기 결과는 도 6 및 도 7 에 나타내었다.On the other hand, T cells are divided into Th1 and Th2 cells, and INF-γ is expressed in Th1 lymphocytes, which is one of many cytokines that cause inflammation. INF- [gamma] is produced by expression of STAT1 and is known to promote inflammation. Protein expression of STAT1, p-STAT1, and INF-γ was analyzed in inflammatory bowel disease animal model, but the expression level of STAT1, p-STAT1, and INF-γ was increased in DSS group, whereas expression level was increased in wormwood group.
