Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of diabetic complications and angioedema containing an antipyretic extract or a purified fraction thereof as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of diabetic complications and angioedema comprising Euphorbia pekinensis

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing and treating diabetic complications and angioedema containing an antipark extract or a purified fraction thereof as an active ingredient.

The number of people with diabetes now exceeds 240 million worldwide and will rise to 380 million by 2025 and 60% will be in Asia, announced by the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2009, The incidence of diabetic complications is rapidly increasing with the entry into the aging society and the onset of diabetes mellitus. In Korea, the prevalence of diabetes reaches 10%. Especially, diabetic complication patients are exploding due to the fact that the onset of diabetes is drawn to the younger generation and the life span is prolonged.

In the past five years, diabetic complications have increased by 60% and medical expenses have increased by 54% to KRW 203.5 billion (National Health Insurance Corporation, Aug. 2011). In other words, after 10 to 15 years of the onset of diabetes, almost all the organs of the body are damaged, resulting in retinopathy (diabetic retinopathy), diabetic cataract, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, Diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic heart disease, diabetic osteoposis, or diabetic arteriosclerosis.

Although diabetic medicines (metformin, rosiglitazone, gemiglo, and januvia) that are currently being administered are used to regulate the blood sugar level in the early stage of diabetes, there is a possibility that diabetic complications such as diabetic eye disease, , Neuropathy, foot ulceration, etc.) can not be fundamentally prevented or treated. Although diabetic complications start with diabetes, the mechanism of transition to diabetic complication is different from diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary to delay, prevent, or treat diabetic complications by using drugs that can be delayed or prevented by diabetic complications while controlling with a blood sugar modulating agent.

Chronic diabetic nephropathy requires hemodialysis and organ transplantation. Diabetic cataracts and retinopathy cause blindness. In the United States, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the 25 to 74 year old age group. A diabetic foot ulcer causes a terrible situation that requires the limb to be severed, and diabetic neuropathy is accompanied by knife-like pain. Diabetic heart disease causes sudden death. Therefore, even if the complication of diabetes mellitus is delayed for several years, the quality of life of the patient and the family will be changed, and it will greatly contribute to the national finances.

Representative factors inducing such diabetic complications have been reported, including production of the final glycation end product, activation of aldose reductase, activation of PKC isomer, and increase of hexosamine pathway ( Nature , 414, 813-820, 2000; Diabetologia , 38: 357-3941, 1995). The irreversible reaction of these factors accelerates the oxidative stress, making diabetic complications worse.

Nonenzymatic glycation of proteins is a process in which amino acid groups such as lysine residues of proteins and reducing sugars produce advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) by a condensation reaction (milliad reaction) without enzymatic action It says. That is, the Schiff base, which is an early stage product, is formed, and the Schiff base and the adjacent ketoamine adduct are condensed with each other to produce an amadori-type early glycation product, , The reversible amorphous early glycosylation product is rearranged without degradation, resulting in a final glycation end product, which is an irreversible product. The resulting final glycation products bind or cross-link with proteins or lipids to produce irreversible products of glycated proteins or glycosylated lipids.

This final glycation product binds (crosses) with proteins or lipids such as basement membrane, plasma albumin, lens protein, fibrin, collagen and accumulates in tissues during the lifetime of the protein or lipid to change the structure and function of the tissue abnormally It causes complications. In addition, blood glucose is restored to the normal state, and the reaction with the already generated final glycation end product and protein or lipid continues, resulting in complications ( N. Engl. Med. , 1988, 318, 1315-1321). Also, in this state, the defensive system function against oxygen free radicals is degraded and oxidative stress is induced ( J. of Trad. Med . 2001, 18: 107-112). Based on these mechanisms, it has been reported that it is important to inhibit the production of final glycation products in order to delay or prevent the onset of diabetic complications ( N. Engl. Med . 1998, 318, 1315-1321).

Diabetic retinopathy leads to non-proliferative retinopathy and eventually to proliferative retinopathy, resulting in blindness and blindness of the retinal blood vessels and nerve cells in the chronic hyperglycemic state. In the hyperglycemic environment, the pericytes surrounding the capillaries of the retina begin to be damaged, leading to microaneurysm, leading to endothelial damage, and to the acellular capillary, which can not function as a blood vessel ). These abnormal neovascular vessels are very fragile due to their very weak walls, causing blood components to leak out, eventually leading to blindness. Several pathological phenomena occur because the intercellular tight-junction proteins that connect the endothelial cells with surrounding cells such as occludin or claudin are damaged. In order to prevent such diabetic retinopathy, it is necessary to prevent peripheral cell damage, which is an early symptom. Fenofibrate (Lipidil, Abott), approved by the FDA in December 2013, has been approved as a PPARα agonist for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. The ACCORD study and the FILD study reported that 33% of strictly controlled diabetic patients prevented metastatic diabetic retinopathy, but delayed the transition to diabetic retinopathy by approximately 40%.

In 2014, the US FDA approved IIuvien (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant, Alimera Science) was approved for treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Diabetic nephropathy is an important factor causing chronic diabetic nephropathy due to glycated albumin combined with a final glycoprotein and protein. Glycated albumin enters the ganglion cell more easily than normal albumin, and chronic high concentration of glucose stimulates mesangial cells to increase extracellular matrix synthesis. Glycosylated albumin and increased extracellular matrix result in fibrosis of the spermatid sphere. If the spermatozoa continue to be damaged by such a mechanism, extreme treatment methods such as hemodialysis or organ transplantation can only be used It will be.

Angioedema refers to a disease in which blood vessels that are deep in the skin, under the skin, or under the mucous membrane are increased in permeability and fluid is drained from the blood vessels and accumulated in the surrounding tissues (i.e., edema occurs) (Retina) edema or macular degeneration due to angioedema caused by damage to the retinal blood barrier, or the macular edema due to retinal hemorrhage. Varicose veins, etc. occur.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an irreversible disease that affects many elderly people and is a leading cause of blindness. It is increasingly prevalent due to the global aging of the population. In the United States, macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness, environmental and genetic factors also affect the onset, and smoking has been reported to be the most fatal disease. In addition, obesity, excessive antioxidant, and dietary fat intake also cause macular degeneration and have a more progressive effect. Therefore, eating a healthy diet, weight control, proper exercise, smoking cessation will reduce the incidence of macular degeneration. The prevalence of premature (dry) macular degeneration in the United States was 3.9% in the 40-50 age group, but 22.8% in the age group 75 and older (Beaver Dam Eye Study). Elderly patients over 75 years old had a 5.4% incidence and 7.1% had end stage AMD. 1.9% of Caucasians living in Australia are terminal Macular Degenerative, and during the 5-year period, the incidence was 0% in the young age group below 55 and 18.5% in the elderly group above 85 years. It is also similar for Asian Malay peoples (Blue Mountain Eye Study, Progress in Retinal and Eye Research , 1-15, 2014).

In Korea, the number of patients with mild macular degeneration has increased 7.4-fold in the past year, and the incidence in the 40-50 age group has increased nine-fold (2011). However, the most serious of these is the lack of macular degeneration. Lucentis of Switzerland Novartis is an antibody treatment and is very expensive and has a disadvantage that its vision can not be restored because it stops the progress of the disease.

Macular changes are classified as dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration. Dry macular degeneration is caused by the accumulation of a waste substance drusen in the maculae, which damages the macular connection between the choroid and the macular upper part, resulting in damage to the macula. As this progresses, it progresses to wet AMD. In other words, the blood vessels do not function normally due to accumulation of waste materials in the macular area, and nutrients and oxygen are not supplied, so new abnormal blood vessels start to be formed (choroidal neovascularization: CNV). The resulting blood vessels are very weak in the walls, causing proteins or red blood cells in the blood vessels to seep into the macula and the retina, eventually resulting in various factors such as photoreceptor (rod-cone photoreceptor) and retinal pigment epithelial layer death ( Nutrition Research , 34, 95-105, 2014; Plos one , 8, e71064, 2013).

Retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPEs) play an important role in maintaining healthy eyes by supporting the Bruchs membrane (BrM) while maintaining a non-proliferative state. Cystatin C secreted from the retinal pigment epithelium is a powerful cysteine proteinase inhibitor that plays an important role in normal regulation of protein circulation in BrM. However, excessive accumulation of the final glycation end product results in a decrease in the expression and secretion of cystatin C protein, leading to an imbalance of proteolytic activity in the RPE basal part, resulting in macular degeneration. Thus, it has been reported that macular degeneration can also be prevented (inhibited) when inhibiting the production of the final glycation end product (Kay P, et al., IOVS , 2014, 55 (2), 926-34).

VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is secreted from the retinal pigment epithelium layer to regulate the periphery of the Bruchs membrane (BrM) and regulate the growth and density of the capillary endothelial cells. In steady state, VEGF secretion is very tightly controlled to prevent neovascularization. However, if VEGF secretion is not tightly regulated, it is a crucial factor in reaching late stages of macular degeneration. Abnormal elevation of VEGF secretion results in abnormal and weak blood vessels and destruction of blood vessels ( J. Cell. Mol. Med. , 17, 7, 833-843, 2013).

The varicose vein is a disease in which the vein is visible outside the skin. Veins distributed in the limbs include a large deep vein between the muscles, a superficial vein that is directly under the skin, The vein wall is weakened when the pressure in the lower limb is increased, and the flow of blood in the vein is reduced. It is always caused by the backflow of the blood to the heart and the veins stretching, which can damage the valve that keeps it constant toward the heart.

Recently, it has been disclosed that Euphorbia ebracteolata belonging to the major pole can be used as a composition for prevention and treatment of arthritis. Ingenol-3-palmitate or Ingenol-3-myristinate compounds, which are extracted from the Korean counterpart, exhibit a potent anti-inflammatory activity against arthritis and are toxic And no side effects (Korea, Application No. 10-2011-0125873).

Accordingly, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies for the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications and angioedema, and found that the antipark extract or its purified fraction inhibits excessive production of ultrafine glycoconjugates that occur in the chronic diabetic state, Inhibits the production of glycoconjugates, prevents the widening of the diameter of the vitreous retinal vessels due to hyperglycemia in the animal model zebrafish diabetic ophthalmic model, causes end-stage symptoms of diabetic retinopathy or retinitis (macular) edema Inhibition of blood-retinal barrier breakage (BRB) by VEGF, inhibition of blood retinal barrier in type 2 diabetic model, inhibition of occludin damage, It has been shown to prevent (cure) the disease, reduce proteinuria, reduce the accumulation of 8-OHdG in urine and kidneys, Inhibiting renal injury by inhibiting accumulation of glycation products, and exhibiting an effect of suppressing lower limb edema in the animal model of the lower limb. Thus, the present invention has been completed upon confirming that diabetic complications and angioedema are effectively prevented and treated.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating diabetic complications and angioedema containing an extract of Euphorbia pekinensis or a purified fraction thereof as an active ingredient.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of diabetic complications and angioedema containing an extract of Euphorbia pekinensis or a purified fraction thereof as an active ingredient.

The present invention also provides a diabetic complication and a dietary supplement for prevention and improvement of angioedema, which comprise a dipole extract or a purified fraction thereof as an active ingredient.

In a specific example of the present invention, the present inventors confirmed the effect of inhibiting the production of final glycation endproducts of the extract of the major pole, the purified fraction and the reflux extract, and the fraction of the antipark (EP70C) (EP70) was 25.8 times higher than aminoguanidine and 150 times higher than that of the antifouling fraction (EP70C). In addition, the reflux of 30%, 50% and 70% ethanol was 3.3 times, 3.5 times and 1.8 times higher than that of the antiprotozoal extract (EP70) and 84.5 times, 89.3 times and 47.3 times higher than that of aminoguanidine, respectively (See Table 1), and it was confirmed that human RPE cell line also significantly inhibited the production of the final glycation end product (see FIG. 2).

In order to examine the therapeutic effect of diabetic retinopathy in the zebrafish model of the fractional fraction (EP70C), the diabetic zebrafish embryos were raised in a 130 mM glucose environment and the diameter of vitreous blood vessels in the hyperglycemic group was 13.86 ± 0.42 AU was significantly increased (P <0.001), but in the 5 ㎍ / ㎖ antiprotozoal fraction (EP70C) treated group was 12.33 ± 0.73 AU and in the 10 ㎍ / ㎖ antiprotozoal fraction (EP70C) treated group was 11.52 ± 0.53 AU (P < 0.01) and inhibited vasodilation (see FIG. 3).

Six-week-old male (db / db) mice were divided into two groups: normal (NOR), diabetic (DM), antipyretic (DM) (EP70C-100), 100 mg / kg of fraction (EP70C), 250 mg / kg of EP70C, and 100 mg / kg of Fenofibrate , And the amount of 8-OHdG in urine and proteinuria was significantly decreased in the 250 mg / kg administration group (EP70C-250) of the antifouling fraction (EP70C) (see FIG. 4). In addition, the accumulation of 8-OHdG in the shrines was found to be decreased in the Feno-treated group and the 100 mg / kg-administered group (EP70C-100) of the antifouling fraction (EP70C-100) In the group treated with ㎎ / kg (EP70C-250), it was confirmed that the accumulation of 8-OHdG was restored to the normal group level (see FIG. 5).

In addition, the present inventors confirmed that the accumulation of the final glycation products in the shrines was reduced in the Feno-administered group and the 100 mg / kg administered group (EP70C-100) of the antiprotozoal fraction (EP70C-100) EP70C) 250 mg / kg administration group (EP70C-250) confirmed that the accumulation of the final glycation products recovered to the normal group level (see FIG. 6).

In addition, the present inventors analyzed the degree of leakage by injecting a fluorescent substance at the time of autopsy in order to confirm whether or not the fractional fraction (EP70C) was prevented and treated for blood retinal barrier damage. As a result, And the effect of preventing and treating retinal vascular damage was confirmed (see FIG. 7). In addition, a dose-dependent significant inhibition of the damage and the therapeutic effect were confirmed in the administration group of occludin (EP70C) of occludin, which is one of the tightly linked proteins of the retina (see FIG. 8).

In order to confirm the effect of retinal (macular) edema (degeneration) effect in the animal model of the major pole extract (EP70) and the major pole fraction (EP70C), the present inventors measured the VEGF protein (P <0.05) due to blood retinal barrier damage in all subjects of the VEGF-treated group, which was 2.8 times more efflux than that of the control group (P <0.05) (EP70C) treated group did not prevent the fluorescent substance from leaking out of the blood vessel due to damage of the blood retinal barrier.

&Lt; 1-2 > Production of fractionated tablet fraction

The mobile phase and stationary phase conditions were used to prepare the counter-electrode fraction from the counter electrode extract (40 g) prepared in Example <1-1>.

Specifically, 50% ethanol (5 L) was added to 100% primary distilled water (3 L) and then the eluted solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and lyophilized to obtain 12 g of a counter-current fraction (EP70C) (Fig. 1).

&Lt; 1-3 > Preparation of antigorous reflux extract

The extract was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure and lyophilized to obtain 0.46 g of a 30% ethanol reflux extract (EP30R), 0.55 g of a 50% ethanol reflux extract (EP50R) and 0.46 g of a 70% ethanol reflux extract (EP70R) Respectively.

Experimental Example 1 Confirmation of Inhibitory Effect on Formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs)

The nonenzymatic glycation of protein is the result of the condensation reaction (milliad reaction) of amino acid groups such as lysine residues of proteins and reducing sugars without enzymatic action, resulting in final glycation products. Unlike the reversible amido type early saccharide, the final glycation end product produced in the chronic hyperglycemic environment is an irreversible reaction product. Once formed, it does not decompose when the blood glucose is restored to normal, but accumulates in the tissue during the protein survival period Gene, and so on, thereby causing diabetic complications by abnormally changing the structure and function of the tissue. In the present invention, the following experiment was conducted in order to confirm the inhibitory effect of the extract of the counter electrode, the purified fraction and the reflux extract on the final glycation endogenesis.

Specifically, the protein source was 10 mg / ml bovine serum albumin (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) dissolved in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) M glucose were each used. The compositions of the present invention prepared in Example 1 and aminoguanidine as a positive control were dissolved in 30 μl of 0.2% DMSO and dissolved again in 15% tween 80. The protein source, the sugar source, and the compositions of the present invention thus prepared were mixed to prepare a total of 1 ml, and the mixture was incubated at 37 ° C for 7 days. At that time, 0.02% sodium azide was added to prevent bacterial growth during the incubation period. After the incubation, the fluorescence was measured at 450 nm (Spectrofluorometric detector: Bio-TEK, Synergy HT, USA; Ex: 350 nm; Em).

As a result, as shown in Table 1, the antifouling fraction (EP70C) had a 5.8-fold higher inhibitory effect on the final glycation endproduct than the major fraction extract (EP70) It was confirmed that the purified fraction (EP70C) was 150 times higher. The reflux of 30%, 50%, and 70% ethanol was 3.3, 3.5 and 1.8 times higher than that of the major extract (EP70) and 84.5 times, 89.3 times and 47.3 times higher than that of aminoguanidine, respectively. (EP70C) and counter-current reflux extracts (EP30R, EP50R and EP70R) were superior to each other in inhibiting the production of final glycation products, considering that aminoguanidine is a synthetic single compound Table 1).
