Description

전처리된 콩의 발효물을 포함하는 전립선비대증 치료용 조성물{The composition for treatment or prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia comprising pretreated fermented soybean}The composition for treatment or prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia comprising pretreated fermented soybean

본 발명은 전처리된 콩의 발효물을 포함하는 전립선비대증 치료용 조성물에 관한 것으로서, 보다 구체적으로는, 수침 후 건조시키는 과정을 반복수행한 콩의 발효물을 유효성분으로 포함하는 전립선비대증 예방, 치료 또는 개선용 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia comprising a fermented product of pretreated soybeans, and more specifically, to the prevention and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, comprising, as an active ingredient, a fermented soybean obtained by repeatedly drying after water immersion. Or it relates to a composition for improvement.

전립선은 샘 조직과 섬유근조직으로 구성된 남성의 부속생식선으로 전립선에 관련한 질환으로는 전립선염, 전립선비대증 및 전립선암이 있고, 이 중 50세 이상의 남성에게 가장 흔하게 나타나는 질환은 전립선비대증(benign prostatic hyperplasia. BPH)이다. 전립선비대증은 남자 노인들의 삶의 질을 저해하는 대표적인 질환이다. 전립선비대증은 요도 주위에 위치한 전립선의 부피가 증가하여 요도를 압박하고 이로 인해 빈뇨, 절박뇨 등의 방광 저장 증상과 지연뇨, 단절뇨, 배뇨시 힘을 주어야 하는 현상 등 방광의 배출 장애를 나타내는 증상을 통칭한 것이라 할 수 있다.The prostate is an accessory gonad in men composed of glandular tissue and fibromuscular tissue. Diseases related to the prostate include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. BPH). BPH is a representative disease that impairs the quality of life of the elderly male. BPH is characterized by an increase in the volume of the prostate located around the urethra, which compresses the urethra, resulting in bladder storage symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency, and symptoms indicating bladder discharge disorders such as delayed urination, interrupted urination, and the need to exert force during urination. It can be called a generic name.

전립선비대증의 약물 치료제는 크게 알파차단제와 안드로겐억제제(5알파환원효소 억제제)로 분류된다. 알파차단제는 전립선요도의 압력과 긴장을 낮추어주는 약물로서 시중에서 판매되는 알파차단제로는 테라조신(terazosin), 독사조신(doxazosin), 탐스로신(tamsulosin), 알푸조신(alfuzosin) 등이 있다. 그러나 알파차단제는 전립선의 비대된 현상을 줄여주는 효과는 없으므로 일시적인 치료방법일 뿐이며, 어지럼증, 무기력증, 두통, 시야 장애 등의 부작용이 보고되었다. 안드로겐억제제는 전립선의 비대 과정에서 핵심적인 역할을 수행하는 5알파 환원효소를 억제하여 전립선의 비대를 막아주는 약물이다. 5알파환원효소 억제제로서 시중에는 피나스테리드(finasteride)와 두타스테리드(dutasteride)가 판매되고 있다. 그러나 이들 약물은 복용 후 효과가 나타날 때까지 시간이 오래 걸리며, 성기능 관련 부작용이 있다.Drug treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia is largely divided into alpha blockers and androgen inhibitors (5-alpha reductase inhibitors). Alpha blockers are drugs that lower the pressure and tension of the prostatic urethra, and commercially available alpha blockers include terazosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin, and alfuzosin. However, alpha blockers have no effect on reducing the enlarged prostate, so they are only a temporary treatment method, and side effects such as dizziness, lethargy, headache, and visual field disturbance have been reported. Androgen inhibitors are drugs that prevent enlargement of the prostate by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, which plays a key role in the process of enlargement of the prostate. As 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride are commercially available. However, these drugs take a long time to take effect after taking them, and there are side effects related to sexual function.

이와 같이, 현재까지 개발 중이거나 시판되고 있는 약물은 대부분 부작용이 많이 나타나므로, 부작용이 적으면서 효능이 우수한 새로운 치료제의 개발이 요구되고 있다.As described above, since most of the drugs being developed or marketed to date have many side effects, there is a demand for the development of a new therapeutic agent with few side effects and excellent efficacy.

한편, 콩은 대표적인 식물성 단백질(35 ~ 45%) 식품일 뿐만 아니라 지방질(10 ~ 15%), 탄수화물(10%) 및 무기질(5%)의 균형적인 급원으로 특히 한국인에게는 두부, 장류, 두유, 콩기름 등의 식품의 형태로 소비되고 있다. 콩은 영양학적 측면뿐만 아니라 사포닌, 이소플라본, 레시틴과 같은 생리활성 물질에 관한 연구가 활발해지면서 기능성 식품의 재료로서 각광받고 있다. 특히, 특히 대두 이소플라본은 항산화활성 뿐만 아니라 유방암 및 전립선암 등에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. On the other hand, soybeans are not only a representative plant protein (35 ~ 45%) food but also a balanced source of fat (10 ~ 15%), carbohydrates (10%) and minerals (5%). It is consumed in the form of foods such as soybean oil. Soybeans are in the spotlight as a functional food ingredient as research on physiologically active substances such as saponins, isoflavones, and lecithins, as well as nutritional aspects, is active. In particular, soy isoflavones are known to be effective for breast and prostate cancer as well as antioxidant activity.

보다 구체적으로, 발효된 콩을 동결건조 후 각각의 시료 1g을 취하여 70% 에탄올 25ml를 넣고 30분간 교반하였고 이를 여과지(Whatman No.2)를 이용하여 필터링하였다. 얻어진 용액을 50ml로 정량하고 syringe filter로 다시 필터링하여 준비하였다. 이소플라본 분석기기는 UPLC(Waters, Acquity UPLC I-Class, USA)로 분석하였다. 컬럼은 BEH C18(2.0×50mm, 17㎛)을 이용하였으며, 시료 주입량은 1㎕였다. 유속은 0.2㎖/min이었고 260nm 파장에서 검출하였다. 이동상 A는 0.1% acetic acid(in water), 이동상 B는 acetonitrile를 이용하였다.More specifically, after freeze-drying fermented soybeans, 1 g of each sample was taken, 25 ml of 70% ethanol was added, stirred for 30 minutes, and filtered using filter paper (Whatman No. 2). The obtained solution was quantified to 50 ml and prepared by filtering again with a syringe filter. The isoflavone analyzer was analyzed by UPLC (Waters, Acquity UPLC I-Class, USA). As a column, BEH C18 (2.0×50 mm, 17 μm) was used, and the sample injection amount was 1 μl. The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min and detection was performed at a wavelength of 260 nm. Mobile phase A was 0.1% acetic acid (in water), and mobile phase B was acetonitrile.

상기 실험방법에 따라 상기 실시예 2를 통해 준비된 콩 (무처리, 건조처리 1회, 2회, 3회)에 대하여 이소플라본 성분을 분석하였고, 실험은 2번(2017년, 2018년) 수행하였으며, 분석 결과를 도 6a 및 도 6b에 나타내었다.According to the experimental method, isoflavone components were analyzed for the soybeans prepared in Example 2 (untreated, dried 1 time, 2 times, 3 times), and the experiment was performed twice (2017, 2018). , the analysis results are shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B .

상기 도 6a 및 도 6b에 나타낸 바와 같이, 전처리 과정을 수행에 따른 총 이소플라본 함량의 변화에는 차이가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다.As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, it was confirmed that there was no difference in the change in the total isoflavone content according to the pretreatment process.

상기 결과로부터, 전처리 과정 수행에 따른 콩 발효물의 전립선비대증 효과 증진이 이소플라본 함량 증가에 의한 것은 아님을 알 수 있었다.From the above results, it could be seen that the enhancement of the prostatic hyperplasia effect of the soybean fermented product according to the pre-treatment was not due to the increase in the isoflavone content.
