Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating an oral disease including alkanin,

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating oral diseases including alkanin, and more particularly, to a quasi-drug composition having an effect of preventing or ameliorating dental caries, periodontal diseases, toothache, acne and bad breath. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an alkanin, a food composition and an oral composition comprising an alkanin.

Healthy teeth are one of the most important factors that determine the quality of life. Among oral diseases, dental cavities and periodontal diseases are diseases with high incidence worldwide and they have various clinical symptoms such as pain, chewing dysfunction, destruction of periodontal tissue, bad breath, And is known to be the main cause of tooth loss. The causes of oral diseases are increasing due to dietary changes.

It is known that about 600 to 800 or more microorganisms exist in human oral cavity, and these microorganisms are controlled by enzymes such as lysozyme secreted by saliva. However, nutrients and water-rich oral environments are good conditions for microbial growth, and dental plaques provide excellent microbial habits. Some of these microorganisms are opportunistic pathogens, causing diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, and acin (dentin hypersensitivity) and bad breath.

There are antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of oral pathogens that induce dental caries, periodontal disease, bad breath, and acinar infestation, and various kinds of antimicrobial agents including antibiotics that have a sterilizing and bacteriostatic action against oral pathogens, Have been developed as inhibitors and remedies for periodontal disease, dental and periapical infections.

However, since antibiotics can cause systemic adverse effects on our bodies and induce resistance to oral bacteria and superinfection, they are difficult to use for a long time and can only be used as therapeutic agents. The antimicrobial agents used in mouthwash are Sangquinarine, Listerine, Peroxide, and Chlorhexidine. The effect of bacteria on oral bacteria is unclear in the oral cavity The treatment effect of periodontal disease is more unclear, and the price is also high. Listerine is a major ingredient of alcohol and has a slight bacteriostatic effect. However, it has a temporary effect only in the oral cavity. There are drawbacks that can appear. In addition, the recently added pyridoxine for the whitening effect is toxic to bacteria but at the same time toxic to human tissues, which is not only problematic in safety but also resistant to bacterial fungi in bacteria. In addition, chlorhexidine is known to be one of the best known agents for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease as well as suppression of plaque formation. However, chlorhexidine induces irritation of tissues, pigmentation and degeneration of tissues, and especially stimulant taste and odor In addition, there is a disadvantage in that it can not be used for a long time for the purpose of treatment or especially prevention, such as the occurrence of bacterial diabetes, carcinogenicity and limited use in pregnant women.

On the other hand, Alkannin has a molecular formula of C ₁₆ H ₁₆ O ₅ , molecular weight of 288.3 and is a reddish brown needle crystal (recrystallized in benzene). It acts on alkali hydroxide to exhibit blue color and is insoluble in alkali hydrogencarbonate.

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have conducted studies to derive natural materials excellent in prevention and improvement of oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, toothache, syringe and bad breath without fear of side effects as described above . As a result, as a naturally-occurring composition which can be used safely and safely in the body, alkanin exhibits antibacterial effect, PGE2 inhibitory effect, gingivitis formation inhibitory effect, siline inhibitory effect, and bad breath removing effect on dental caries and periodontal disease-causing bacteria And has completed the preparation of a quasi-drug composition, a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition and an oral composition using the same.

In the present invention, " Alkannin " is an optically isomer of a shikonin having the molecular formula C ₁₆ H ₁₆ O _{5 and a} molecular weight of 288.3, which is one of plant pigment.

The present invention is not particularly limited to the method for obtaining an alkanine, and may be chemically synthesized by a method known in the art, or a commercially available material may be used.

The alkanines of the present invention may exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms. The alkanines of the present invention may exist in crystalline or amorphous form, and all such physical forms are included within the scope of the present invention.

The present invention provides a quasi-drug composition for preventing or improving oral diseases, which comprises the alkanine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one oral cavity selected from the group consisting of dental caries, periodontal disease (periodontitis or gingivitis), toothache, syringitis and bad breath comprising the alkanin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient A quasi-product composition for preventing or ameliorating a disease can be provided.

In the present invention, " oral disease " refers to various diseases occurring in the oral cavity region, and the oral cavity region refers to a space in the mouth which is connected to the pharynx from the front lip to the rear mouth. In the present invention, the oral disease refers to a disease that occurs in the oral cavity, regardless of its pathology. Examples of the oral disease include dental caries, periodontal disease (periodontitis or gingivitis), toothache, And the like.

In the present invention, " dental cavities " is an infectious disease caused by bacteria in the tooth surface, which is also called tooth decay. Specifically, a milky translucent and hard material that covers the surface of the head of a tooth and protects the tooth dentin is called tooth enamel or enamel. By the acid generated by decomposition of sugar and starch by the oral pathogenic bacteria in the mouth It means that tooth enamel is damaged and tooth decay occurs. The main cause of dental caries is dental plaque (plaque), which is a bacterial membrane formed on the surface of the teeth. The saliva forms a thin and sticky film on the tooth, and on top of it, Streptococcus sobrinus ( Streptococcus sobrinus ) and Streptococcus mutans mutans and the like attach themselves to biofilms to form dental plaques and become thicker by Fusobacterium . The dental caries of the present invention includes all kinds of dental caries causing dental caries irrespective of its kind, but specifically includes Streptococcus mutans mutans , Streptococcus sanguinis , Streptococcus sobrinus , Streptococcus spp. ratti , Streptococcus criceti , Streptococcus spp. anginosus , and lactic acid bacteria. More specifically, it may be Streptococcus mutans.

The Streptococcus mutans is a type of streptococcus, Gram-positive bacteria, and is also referred to as carnivorous. Streptococcus mutans proliferate only on the surface of the teeth, but not until 30 months after birth. Therefore, it is difficult for Mythans to multiply until after this period. When other oral bacteria in the mouth are not infected by the mutans bacteria from the mouths of adults during infancy, it is difficult for the mutans bacteria to enter the already balanced ecosystem in the oral cavity. . If you are already infected with causative organisms through adults' mouths, brush your teeth frequently and keep your mouth clean to help prevent tooth decay. However, once mutans bacteria are in the oral cavity, it is impossible to eradicate mutans.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the size of the growth inhibition circle after inoculation of a disk containing alkanin in the medium coated with Streptococcus mutans was measured. As a result, in the case of the experimental group containing the alkanin, the growth inhibition diameter The antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans was more than 11.0 mm, and it was confirmed that the composition containing alkanin could be used for prevention or improvement of dental caries (Table 2).

In the present invention, " periodontal disease " refers to a disease in which gingiva, periodontal ligament, and bone tissue injure the teeth, and is often referred to as a style. Depending on the severity of the disease, gingivitis and periodontitis, . It is a relatively light and fast-acting periodontal disease called gingivitis that is limited to gingiva or soft tissue, and it is called periodontitis when the inflammation progresses to the gums and the gums. There is a V-shaped gap between the gum (gums) and the teeth, where oral pathogens attack the area under the gum line of the sulcus to release the inflammatory stimulant Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Inflammation occurs, such as swelling of the gums and bleeding, which can damage the periodontal ligament and adjacent tissue. If periodontal disease progresses, the periodontal ligament, and even the alveolar bone, will be damaged and eventually the teeth will be lost. Malnutrition such as protein and vitamins, hormonal disorders such as pregnancy and diabetes, smoking, AIDS and the like can aggravate the disease. Other causes of periodontal disease include plaque and calculus. The periodontal disease of the present invention includes all kinds of periodontal disease causing irregular periodontal disease, but specifically includes Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , Porphyromonas gingivalis , Tannerella forsythia , Treponema denticola , and Fusobacterium nucleatum . More specifically, it may be Poppyromonas japonica varis.

The Poppyromonas jinx valis is a kind of Bacteroide-type bacteria and is gram-negative bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. The Poppyromonas jinx valis is found in the oral cavity with periodontal disease, as well as in the upper gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and colon. In patients with chronic periodontal disease, collagen is degraded by the collagenase enzyme of the bacterium, and the bacterium can enter the gingival fibroblast, and can survive even at a considerable concentration of antibiotics. In addition, the bacterium can enter the gingival epithelial cells and survive for a long time.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the size of the growth inhibition ring was measured after inoculating a disk containing the alkanin in the medium coated with Poppyromonas japonica, and as a result, in the experimental group containing the alkanin, the growth inhibition diameter Showed a remarkably excellent antimicrobial activity against Porphyromonas japonicus var. At 11.0 mm or more. It was confirmed that a composition containing alkanin could be used for prevention or improvement of periodontal disease (Table 2).

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, a test subject having gingival inflammation was selected and subjected to clinical tests. As a result, in the experimental group using the alkanin-containing toothpaste, the gingival inflammation suppression effect was excellent. It was confirmed that the composition containing alkanin could be used for prevention or improvement of periodontal disease including gingivitis (Table 4).

In the present invention, " toothache " refers to a pain in a tooth when eating a sweet food or a very cold or hot food. In general, not only the pain of the tooth itself, but also the periodontal tissue supporting the tooth on the jaw Pain is also included. It usually causes pain when chewing, and the gums are swollen and emit a strong odor. Toothache is slightly different according to the cause disease. Specifically, pain caused by dental caries is not pain at first, but gradually progresses to pain in the deep tooth nerve. When there is impacted tooth, If the tooth is broken or cracked, when it touches cold food or when it bites strongly, the tooth is split and the nerve is stimulated to cause pain. In the case of dental infection, it is painful when cold food is initially exposed, and pain is felt in hot food when it is advanced. When inflammation progresses and dental tissue is dying, there is no cold reaction, no reaction to hot, Of the pain caused by inflammation.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the PGE2 inhibitory effect, known as pain and inflammation markers, was examined. As a result, the test group containing the alkanin showed a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on PGE2, It can be used for improvement purposes (FIG. 1).

In the present invention, " syringe " refers to dentin hypersensitive dentine, and silent refers to dentine hyperesthesia. This symptom is felt when the dentin part of the exposed tooth touches cold air or irritating food or the like, and it shows symptoms in 60 ~ 98% of adults with periodontal disease. This symptom may be caused by incorrect brushing habits, excessive occlusal force, dissolution of the tooth due to acid dissolution, gum breakage, poor oral hygiene, periodontal treatment, restorative treatment, . As the root cause of the symptoms is acne, many tubules present in the dentin of the teeth are exposed to the outside. By exposure, all the stimuli are transmitted to the nerve in the dentine as they are, and they react more sensitively to the same stimuli than usual. have. Symptoms can range from mild symptoms to intense and persistent pain, and due to the nature of teeth, the use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory agents is not a fundamental solution to the symptoms. Symptoms may occur throughout the tooth, either in the maxilla or mandible, or even in certain areas, such as the right or left side. The most common site is the canine, the small molar area, and the most severe pain area is the cervical area where more than 90% is the boundary between the gum and the tooth.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the subjects who had dentin hypersensitive teeth were selected and subjected to clinical tests. As a result, in the experimental group using the alkanin-containing toothpaste, (Table 6). ≪ tb > < TABLE >

In the present invention, " bad breath " refers to the odor derived from the oral cavity and adjacent organs, and 85 to 90% of the bad breath is originated from the oral cavity, in particular from the back of the tongue. The major component of halitosis is volatile sulfur compounds, in which 90% of total volatile sulfur compounds are methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide produced from hydrogen sulfide and methionine produced from cysteine. These components are produced mainly by protein enzymes secreted by anaerobic bacteria, and the back of the tongue is the most important habitat. This area is not well cleansed by saliva, and there are many small depressions, making it a place where bacteria live on. The formation of volatile sulfur compounds by anaerobic bacteria is the most important cause of halitosis, but it is also caused by oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontitis and dry mouth. Many types of anaerobic bacteria are involved in generating bad breath, and a non-limiting example of causative organisms of halitosis is Porphyromonas gingivalis , which secretes many species and large amounts of enzymes.

In an embodiment of the present invention, clinical trials were conducted on subjects who did not have dental caries, and as a result, the test group using the dental caries containing the alkanin showed excellent odor removal effect and the composition containing alkanin Can be used for preventing or improving bad breath (Table 7).

FIG. 1 shows the results of confirming the inhibitory effect of PGE2 by treating LPS (control group), LPS and alkanin (experimental group), which are inflammatory stimuli, on macrophages.

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

Experimental Example  One : Dental caries  And antimicrobial effect against periodontitis causing bacteria

Antibacterial activity tests were performed to confirm the preventive or therapeutic effect of the alkanin on dental caries and periodontitis. Streptococcus mutans , a representative dental caries-inducing bacterium, and Porphyromonas , a representative bacterium for periodontal disease, gingivalis ) was used for the test of antimicrobial activity.

Each of the oral pathogens was cultivated for 4 to 6 hours in an optimal medium after increasing the activity under the optimal culture conditions shown in Table 1 below. The turbidity of the culture was determined by Macfarland turbidity No. 1. 0.5 (1.5 x 10 ⁸ ), and 0.1 ml of each of the oral pathogens was evenly plated on a plate medium. Then, the alkanin was inoculated on the sterilized paper disk at a concentration of 10 mg / disc and absorbed and dried for 1 hour. Then, after culturing at the optimal temperature of each of the oral pathogens for 24 to 48 hours, the size (diameter mm) of the growth inhibition rings was measured. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Results of Antimicrobial Activity Measurement of Oral Pathogens of Alkanin Growth inhibition diameter (mm) Streptococcus mutans Porphyromonas gingivalis No treatment - (Growth is not inhibited) - (Growth is not inhibited) Alkanine treatment 11.9 11.0

As shown in the above Table 2, the group treated with alkanin had a growth inhibition diameter of about 11.0 mm for the two oral pathogens, compared with the non-treated group not treated with alkanine, And < RTI ID = 0.0 > Porphyromonas jinx valis. ≪ / RTI > Therefore, it has been found that alkanin can be used for preventing or treating dental caries or periodontal disease.

Experimental Example  2: Gingivitis formation inhibitory effect

In order to confirm the preventive or therapeutic effect of the alkanin in the gingivitis, the experimental group was selected and the clinical experiment was performed.

First, there are used carboxymethylcellulose sodium, sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerin, colloidal silicon dioxide, silica, sodium cocoyl sulfate, sodium dodecanoate, sweetener, flavoring agent, coloring agent, To prepare a control toothpaste. To the toothpaste of the control group, 0.01% by weight of the alkanine was contained to prepare an experimental toothpaste.

In order to select the subjects, a thorough oral examination was performed on 30 patients of gingival inflammation without dentition and between 30 and 50 years of age at 10-year intervals according to gender. After the screening, 60 patients were divided into two groups.

Specifically, the test subjects were divided into a control group and an experimental group, and the control group was instructed to use the prepared control toothpaste three times a day before sleeping 2 hours after the meal, and the test group was used three times a day at the same time . Thereafter, the initial gingival index was scored and the oral gingivitis was scored at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the control toothpaste was prepared and the experimental toothpaste was used in the experimental group. Gingivitis index was examined. The method of measuring the gingival index was performed by inserting a periodontal probe into the gingival fissure, burning the circumference of each tooth without applying any force, measuring the bleeding state after 30 seconds, The scores were recorded according to the results, and the results are shown in Table 4.

Gingivitis index standard score Contents 0 point No bleeding state 1 point Normal bleeding state 2 points Hemorrhage 3 points Triangle Bleeding 4 points Gingival hemorrhage

Gingival inflammation inhibitory effect time Control group Experimental group 0 weeks 1.04 1.04 1 week 1.67 1.04 1 month 2.70 1.05 3 months 2.80 1.06 6 months 2.88 1.06

As shown in Table 4, the test group using alkanine-containing toothpaste maintained the normal bleeding state even after 6 months, and the gingival inflammation-suppressing effect was maintained as compared with the control group. Therefore, it was found that the alkanin can be used for preventing or treating gingivitis.

Experimental Example  3: Pain and inflammation Marker Inn PGE2  Inhibitory effect

In order to confirm the preventive or therapeutic effect of the alkanin on toothache, PGE2 inhibitory effect, known as pain and inflammation marker, was confirmed.

First, macrophages were inoculated in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS at a concentration of 1.5 × 10 ⁵ cells / ml and cultured in a 24-well plate at 37 ° C and 5% CO ₂ for 24 hours. After incubation for 24 hours with 1 μg / ml LPS and alkaline phosphatase, the PGE2 ELISA assay kit (Thermo SCIENTIFIC) was purchased and the PGE2 inhibitory effect of alkanin concentration (Fig. 1).

As shown in Fig. 1, the alkanin concentration of 2 ppm was effective to suppress PGE2 up to about 80%, and the alkanol concentration of 20 ppm was inhibited to about 95% when compared to the group treated with LPS alone. Therefore, it was found that alkanin can be used for preventing or treating toothache.

Experimental Example  4 : Cyrin  Inhibitory effect

In order to confirm the preventive or therapeutic effect of the alkynin, the subjects were selected for clinical trials. The control toothpaste and the experimental toothpaste used in the clinical experiment were prepared in the same manner as the toothpaste of Experimental Example 2, respectively.

The subjects were 40 volunteers who agreed to participate in this experiment as dentin hypersensitive teeth, and 80 teeth were used for the total test. Of the subjects, 20 were male and 20 were female and the ages ranged from 20 to 50 years. The subjects were not allowed to know the contents of toothpaste, and the total duration of the experiment was 2 weeks.

The experiment was performed by measuring the response of the subject after applying the temperature stimulus. Before the experiment, the dentin hypersensitivity areas of dentin hypersensitivity teeth of each subject were checked in advance, and cold water of about 5 ° C was dropped on the syringe area of the teeth with a syringe. The teeth were rated according to the criteria shown in Table 5, The control toothpaste was used in the experimental group, and the toothpaste of the test group was used three times a day for two weeks. After about two weeks, cold water of about 5 ° C was dropped on the syringe and evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired Student's t-test before and two weeks after the experiment, and the response score after two weeks to the temperature stimulation is shown in Table 6 below.

Evaluation criteria of subjects after stimulation score Contents 0 point There is no sense of inconvenience. 1 point Somewhat uncomfortable or seiri. 2 points It is a lot. 3 points pain.

Degree of inhibition time Control group Experimental group 0 weeks 2.15 + 0.11 2.13 + 0.03 2 weeks 2.14 ± 0.23 1.75 + 0.08 p > 0.05 * p < 0.05

※ p> 0.05: 95% reliability, no statistically significant difference. * p <0.05: 95% confidence, statistically significant difference.

As shown in Table 6, in the test group using the alkanine-containing toothpaste, the syringe phenomenon was suppressed after 2 weeks as compared with the control group. Therefore, it was found that the alkanine can be used as a preventive or therapeutic agent for acylin.

Experimental Example  5: Bad breath removal effect

In order to confirm the effect of preventing or treating bad breath of the alkanin, a subject was selected and a clinical experiment was conducted. The control toothpaste and the experimental toothpaste used in the clinical experiment were prepared in the same manner as the toothpaste of Experimental Example 2, respectively.

Fifty men and women without dental caries were selected as subjects and cross-over tests were performed on the toothpaste of the control group and the toothpaste of the experimental group. The commercially available garlic powder was dispersed in water, allowed to stand for 24 hours, and diluted so that the measured value of halimeter was 700 ppb or more. The diluted solution was used as a source of bad breath. The subjects were gagged with 15 ml of garlic min diluted solution for 30 seconds and after 1 minute, the degree of halitosis was measured with a halimeter, then the control group was used the control toothpaste and the experimental group was used for 30 seconds to 1 minute using the test group toothpaste . After 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes after brushing, the degree of halitosis was measured with a halimeter to measure the persistence of halitosis suppression. The results are shown in Table 7 below.

Bad breath removal effect time Control group Experimental group 1 minute 55.2% 97.9% 5 minutes 48.6% 93.3% 30 minutes 40.0% 91.8%

As shown in Table 7, in the experiment group using the alkanine-containing toothpaste, about 98% of the odorant was removed after 30 minutes compared to the control group, and the odor removal rate was 93% The removal efficiency was much better than the control group. Therefore, it has been found that alkanin can be used for preventing or treating bad breath.
