Description

Silk peptide composition having complex function of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia {SILK PEPTIDE FOR IMPROVING HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA AND HYPERLIPIDEMIA}

The present invention relates to a silk peptide composition having a complex function of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, and more particularly, to a silk protein hydrolyzed to have a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 50,000, and a combination of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia improvement. A silk peptide composition that functions.

Silk is a protein-based fiber composed of fibroin and sericin, which was previously used only for making fabrics, but recently has been manufactured and used as a functional food and cosmetics by research. In order to use such silk proteins as active ingredients of functional foods or pharmaceuticals, various methods for obtaining low molecular weight silk peptides from silk proteins have been proposed. For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0443785 discloses a method for producing silk amino acids using hydrochloric acid, and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0420824 discloses a method for preparing silk peptides using alkali, and Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0881210 discloses a method for producing silk peptides using enzymes.

In addition, the low molecular weight silk peptides having a molecular weight of about 100 to 2,000 thus produced have been shown to have various effects such as diabetes improvement and cognitive function. For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0947547 discloses a silk peptide having a therapeutic and prophylactic effect of diabetes, and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0494358 discloses a silk peptide effective for improving brain cognitive function. The contents are disclosed.

Conventional silk peptide production methods have been focused on developing a method of hydrolyzing a silk silk in the form of fiber using hydrochloric acid or an enzyme to decompose to a very low molecular weight peptide or amino acid level. Therefore, the molecular weight of the final product is mostly about 100 to 2,000 amino acids or about the size of the small molecule peptide, and the molecular weight of the large hydrolyzed products is composed of about 10,000. Since silk fiber cannot be digested and absorbed by itself, research has focused on how to lower the molecular weight by using various methods to increase digestive absorption rate, and the most representative method developed by using acid and enzyme It is a method of hydrolysis. Amino acids and low molecular weight peptides made by acids and enzymes could be absorbed by the human body more than 90%. The amino acids and low molecular weight peptides were found to be effective in improving diabetes and cognitive function. Further studies are underway to show this efficacy.

However, for the high molecular weight high molecular silk peptide of 10,000 or more, there is no manufacturing or research on this because of the fact that these substances are not absorbed in the human body.

The present inventors earnestly researched to develop a silk peptide composition having a complex function that can improve hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, and as a result, the polymer silk peptide having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or more obtained through hydrolysis has excellent complex functional activity. By confirming that the present invention has been completed, the present invention was completed.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a silk peptide composition having a multifunctional activity that improves hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a silk peptide composition hydrolyzing silk protein having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000-100,000 and having a combined activity of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia improvement.

A cocoon is used as starting material in the process of the invention. As used herein, the term "silk" means a fiber made by silkworm insects, and preferably means a silkworm sanded by a silkworm (Bombyx mori).

Silk cocoon silk protein consists of fibroin and sericin, fibroin and sericin are present on average 75% and 25%, respectively. Fibroin protein and sericin are different proteins with completely different amino acid compositions. According to recent research results, silk fibroin has a structure in which H-chain (350 kDa) and L-chain (26 kDa) are SS-bonded, and glycoprotein P25 (30 kDa) is non-covalently linked to the two chains. It was identified as a macromolecular protein having a mole composition of 6: 6: 1, and this structure has a polymer property of a block form in which crystalline and amorphous regions are continuously exchanged.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the silk protein used is silk fibroin.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hydrolysis of silk fibroin can be carried out through the method of (a) refining, (b) decomposition in inorganic salt solution, (c) removal of inorganic salt. The weight average molecular weight of the silk peptides produced by decomposition by the above method may range from about 10,000-100,000, and has a complex function of improving diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia.

The refining is carried out by heating the cocoon in hot water, preferably 80 to 130 ℃, more preferably at 120 ℃ to remove sericin. Moreover, it can also carry out by adding sodium carbonate and surfactant to hot water.

The decomposition in the inorganic salt solution is usually used hydrochloride, preferably calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, more preferably calcium chloride. In addition, ethanol may be further mixed and used therein.

Step (b) is preferably performed by dissolving silk fibroin in a solution containing calcium chloride, water and ethanol at 60-95 ° C, more preferably 70-95 ° C, most preferably 75-85 Dissolve at ° C. By the decomposition in the calcium salt solution, silk fibroin is decomposed into a relatively high molecular peptide of about 10,000-50,000 molecular weight.

The method of removing the salt in step (c) may be carried out through various methods known in the art, for example, dialysis, ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography or electrodesalting, etc., and only a specific weight molecular weight range. These methods can be used in combination for selective separation.

Silk peptides prepared by the method of the present invention have a high molecular weight and are not well absorbed by the body. Silk fibroin's unique porous structure has high adsorption properties, so it can strongly adsorb fat components ingested with silk fibroin. As a result, the fat component adsorbed on silk fibroin is not excreted in the body and is excreted to inhibit the absorption of fat. As a result, it is possible to reduce blood fat concentration and lower blood cholesterol concentration.

The present invention provides a silk peptide composition having a combined activity of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia improvement. The present invention provides a high molecular weight silk peptide composition that is almost not absorbed into the body, having a combined activity of improving hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia from silk proteins.

As illustrated in the examples below, silk peptides prepared by the methods of the present invention can be used for the treatment and prevention of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. These examples are only for illustrating the present invention more specifically, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples according to the gist of the present invention.

Example 1 Refining Silk Fibroin

The silk protein used in the present invention was used after removing pupa from the cocoon obtained by breeding the gambo (Bombyx mori). 50 times of water was added to the cocoon from which the pupa was removed, heated at 120 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes, washed with clean water and dried to obtain pure silk fibroin protein from which sericin protein was removed.

Example 2. Preparation of Polymer Silk Peptides

The refined silk fibroin protein obtained in Example 1 was placed in a 5M calcium chloride solution, and ethanol was added while heating at 90 degrees Celsius to completely dissolve and hydrolyze the silk fibroin protein. Multiple layers of gauze were stacked to remove large foreign objects such as pupa pieces, and filter paper (Whatman No. 1) was used to remove insoluble matters. Calcium chloride was removed by using a) dialysis in water, b) using an electrodesulfate, c) using ultrafiltration, and d) using gel chromatography. Calcium chloride was well removed in all methods and the same result was obtained in subsequent work. However, the electrodesalter method has the advantage of being able to process a large amount of samples in a fast time, while there are many disadvantages of silk protein loss. The remaining methods had the disadvantages of being difficult and time-consuming to process a large amount of samples, while having the advantage of low loss of silk protein. The calcium chloride-free polymeric silk fibroin peptide solution was freeze-dried to prepare a powder.

Example 3. Determination of Molecular Weight of Polymer Silk Peptides

The molecular weight of the polymer silk peptide prepared in Example 2 was calculated by gel permeation chromatography. The polymer silk peptide was dissolved in 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer and chromatographed to calculate the molecular weight distribution from the absorbance value of 280 nm. As a result, the weight average molecular weight of the polymer silk peptide was 26 kDa.

Total Cholesterol (%)
22.0% 22.7% 23.7%

Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides exceeded the normal range at the start of the clinical trial, but there was no change in the control group for 2 months after ingesting the polymer silk peptide, whereas these levels gradually decreased in the experimental group. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides were all improved to near normal levels. HDL cholesterol was in the normal range from the beginning, and remained in the normal range after 2 months, and the ratio of HDL cholesterol to total cholesterol improved from 23.5% to 25.1%.

From these results, it was confirmed that the polymer silk peptide is excellent in improving total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride.

As described above, by ingesting the silk peptide of the polymer prepared according to the present invention, as a result, it has a combined function of improving hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia can be used for the treatment and prevention of these diseases.
