Description

Method for preparing ginseng extract containing high concentration of ginsenosides {A METHOD OF PREPARING GINSENG EXTRACT COMPRISING MINOR SAPONIN IN HIGH CONCENTRATION}

The present invention relates to a method for preparing ginseng extract containing a high concentration of ginsenosides.

Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous genus belonging to the ginseng of the Ogapi family, and there are about 11 species of ginseng (ginseng, Panax) grown in the Korean Peninsula. ginseng CA Meyer) is known to have excellent efficacy. It is reported that ginseng contains saponin, phenolic component, polyacetylene component, alkaloid component, polysaccharide, and the like.

Commonly referred to as ginseng refers to ginseng or white ginseng (about 75% moisture) dried white ginseng (about 12% moisture), red ginseng strictly steamed four to six years old ginseng, steamed and dried without peeling It refers to pale yellow brown or light red brown ginseng. Red ginseng obtained through the steaming process, which is a traditional method, is known to increase the efficacy of ginseng due to the use of more saponin than white ginseng.

Among the efficacy of ginseng known to date, there is an antioxidative activity, antimicrobial activity anticancer activity or anti-inflammatory activity and the like, the efficacy is known to be different for each person.

The main function of the ginseng is known to be due to ginsenosides contained in ginseng. The ginsenoside is named by specially distinguishing only the saponin component of ginseng among the various saponins present in the plant, and the ginsenoside has been reported to have various pharmacological effects. For example, the ginsenoside has been reported to have anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, mental stability, analgesic, memory improvement, liver function enhancement, anti-diabetic, anti-stress, antioxidant, immunoregulatory and anti-aging activity .

However, ginsenosides of ginseng are linked to a polymer component, so they are not easily absorbed by the body after ingestion. For example, red ginseng is specific to ginsenosides such as ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenoside Rh1, or ginsenoside Rh2, which are present in ginsenosides. It has ingredients The specific components of the red ginseng are ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rb2, ginsenoside Rc, or ginsenoside Rd, which are originally included in the fresh ginseng. Saponins, such as (ginsenoside Rd), are components in the form of prosaponins produced by hydrolysis of the ginseng saponin glycosides by the heat applied during the preparation of red ginseng.

Therefore, the difference in the efficacy of the ginseng is different from person to person because the total number and activity of E. coli bacteria is different, the degree of degradation by the intestinal microorganisms of ginsenosides contained in the ingested ginseng is different, This is because the degree of absorption in the body is different.

Therefore, in order to enhance the efficacy of ginseng, that is, to increase the content of ginsenoside that is easily absorbed and to manufacture excellent ginseng or ginseng products, ginseng such as ginseng is not included or contained in trace amounts, but it is known to have various pharmacological effects. There is a need for development of methods for improving the content of ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenoside Rk1, ginsenoside Rg5, and compound K (Compoun K, CK).

The methods developed to date have limitedly increased the content of certain ginsenosides, such as Rg2, Rg3 or Rh2, and there is a need for the development of methods for increasing the content of various ginsenosides reported to have various physiological activities. do.

In addition, the innate immune response is the body's defense mechanism, which is when immune cells responsible for immune function induce a series of inflammatory reactions that promptly repair the damaged area when surrounding cells or tissues are damaged.

The immune cells move to damaged areas through blood vessels with the help of histamine, nitric oxide (NO) or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to initiate an inflammatory response. The immune cells that migrated to the damaged area were cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, or interleukin-6, MIP-1, IL Chemokines such as -8 or MCP-1 secrete chemoine to destroy direct external invaders or to gather other immune cells to initiate an inflammatory response.

Inflammatory substances such as interferon-γ, lipoteichoic acid, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that cause the inflammatory response or when exposed to various inflammatory-induced cytokines, iNOS (inducible Nitric Oxide synthase) and COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) expression As a result, excess nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 are produced. These various inflammation initiators (iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-6, etc.) are promoted transcription by activated NF-κB, which causes the expansion of shock-induced vasodilation, It causes tissue damage, mutagenesis, and nerve tissue damage caused by inflammatory reactions. In addition, COX-2 over-expression causes an inflammatory response.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention is a method for preparing a ginseng extract containing a high concentration of ginsenoside, ginseng extract prepared by the method and an anti-inflammatory comprising the ginseng extract as an active ingredient It is an object to provide a composition.
