Description

Composition for preventing, treating or improving muscle disease containing levodropropizine as an active ingredient {Pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating muscle disease containing Levodropropizine as an active ingredient}

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating muscle diseases containing levodropropizine as an active ingredient.

Muscles are classified into skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle in terms of structure and function. Among these, skeletal muscle is located directly under the skin of the hands, feet, chest, and stomach, and supports bones and tendons throughout the body. There are about 600 voluntary muscles attached to bones. Skeletal muscle accounts for 40 to 50% of body weight and performs functions such as maintaining body temperature and generating energy. Additionally, skeletal muscles move or support bones through contraction, and at this time, muscle contraction occurs and is controlled by nerve signals.

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a condition in which the amount of skeletal muscle is reduced or completely lost, resulting in a decrease in the ability to support the human body or exercise. Skeletal muscle atrophy occurs due to denervation due to trauma, and causes conditions such as resting recumbency or joint immobilization. It is classified into skeletal muscle atrophy (pulmonary atrophy) that occurs due to immobility.

Skeletal muscle atrophy is generally associated with reduced blood supply to the muscles, lack of exercise (immobilization), persistent weight loss, malnutrition or starvation, cancer, AIDS, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is known to be caused by a variety of causes, including pulmonary disease, renal failure, and severe burns.

Among them, dexamethasone is used to treat several diseases such as cancer, but it reduces the rate of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and increases the rate of protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, causing muscle atrophy. Two muscle ubiquitin ligases are related to Atrogin-1 and MuRF1. Dexamethasone reduces MyoD (myogenic differentiation antigen) through Atrogin-1, and this mechanism leads to a decrease in muscle mass.

A common method to treat skeletal muscle atrophy is prevention of muscle loss through exercise, but no fundamental treatment currently available on the market has been reported.

Accordingly, the present inventors completed the present invention by conducting research to develop a therapeutic agent that is excellent in preventing, treating, and improving muscle atrophy.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through one or more examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Example 1. Preparation of dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy model

To confirm the effect of skeletal muscle atrophy or muscle loss caused by dexamethasone, 10 mg/kg of dexamethasone was administered intraperitoneally (IP) for 14 days to create a skeletal muscle atrophy model, and then the muscle mass of the skeletal muscle atrophy model was measured. To confirm the reduction effect, leg thickness, grip strength, muscle length of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle, and lean body mass were analyzed.

Specifically, the thickness of the anterior tibial leg was photographed using DexaScan, and to measure muscle strength, strength adaptation training was performed at least 3 times before drug administration, and once every 3 days from the start of the test to the completion of the test. Muscle strength was evaluated for each repetition. To evaluate muscle strength, the mouse was placed in a muscle strength measuring device so that it could grab the grid with its front paws, and then its tail was slowly pulled with a constant force until it released the grid with its front paws. The maximum strength to grab the grid was measured five times, and the average value was obtained. was derived in Newton (N) units. Additionally, to analyze the length of the tibialis anterior muscle (T1), the length from the upper limb to the medial dissection of the tibia in mice (tibia length: L) and the vertical distance from half the length of the tibia to the outer edge of the hindlimb muscle (muscle The thickness, T) was measured. Lastly, to measure lean muscle mass, lean body mass was measured targeting the tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius muscle (GS), and photographs were taken to minimize errors in test results due to stress. was limited to once a week.

As a result, the leg thickness of the dexamethasone-treated model was found to be reduced compared to normal mice (Figure 1(a)), and muscle strength, length of the tibialis anterior muscle, and lean muscle mass were all decreased (Figure 1(a)). In b) to (d)), the effect of dexamethasone on muscle mass reduction was confirmed, and it was confirmed that a skeletal muscle atrophy model was constructed.

Example 2. Confirmation of excellent muscle mass improvement effect of levodropropizine on dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy model

The inhibitory effect of levodropropizine on muscle mass reduction compared to the muscle mass reduction effect caused by dexamethasone was confirmed.

Specifically, levodropropizine (恩, China) dissolved in 0.5% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and 0.1% Tween80 solvent was administered to the skeletal muscle atrophy model prepared in Example 1 at a dose of 30 mg/kg, and the control group was administered levodropropizine (恩, China). Instead of pidgin, 100 μl of solvent was administered. It was administered orally once a day for a total of 21 days, starting 7 days before and 14 days after dexamethasone treatment. Thereafter, the change in thickness of the anterior tibia, lean muscle mass, muscle length, and lean muscle mass of the gastrocnemius muscle of the control and levodropropizine treated groups were measured in the same manner as in Example 1.

As a result, it was visually confirmed that the leg thickness of the levodropropizine-treated group was thicker than that of the control group (Figure 2(a)), and the lean muscle mass, muscle length, and gastrocnemius muscle of the anterior tibia of the levodropropizine-treated group were confirmed with the naked eye. Lean muscle mass was found to decrease gently compared to the control group (Figures 2(b) and (d)).

In addition, the rate of change in anterior tibial length, lean muscle mass, total lean muscle mass, and gastrocnemius muscle mass in the levodropropizine treatment group, as measured by photographs taken on days 0, 7, 14, and 21, was 21 It was shown to significantly increase on day 1 (Figure 4), confirming that levodropropizine inhibits skeletal muscle atrophy or reduction activity caused by dexamethasone.

Additionally, in the case of muscle strength, the strength of the control group decreased, while the strength of the levodropropizine-treated group showed a gradual increase over 14 days. In particular, after 5 days of dexamethasone administration, muscle strength was found to increase in the levodropropizine group compared to the control group, confirming that levodropropizine increases skeletal muscle while suppressing the effect of dexamethasone on muscle strength reduction (Figure 3).

Example 3. Confirmation of the excellent improvement effect of levodropropizine on muscle atrophy activity caused by TNF-α

When ATP, an intracellular energy, is activated, differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes occurs. Therefore, by analyzing mitochondrial activity when skeletal muscle cell atrophy is induced in differentiated myotube cells by the atrophic factor TNF-α, the effect of levodropropizine on improving skeletal muscle atrophy was confirmed.

Specifically, C2C12 mouse myogenic cells (ATCC, CRL-1772TM) were purchased ^and dispensed into 96 well cell culture plates and ⁶ well culture plates at 5 Growth media (GM) medium (Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S)-high glucose (% CO ₂ , 95% O ₂ incubation) 4500 mg/L). In order to induce differentiation into myotube cells, it was confirmed that C2C12 mouse myoblasts were about 70 to 80% confluent, and then they were incubated with differentiation medium (Horse serum). DMEM-high glucose (4500mg/L) containing 2% HS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S) was replaced with DMEM-high glucose (4500mg/L)) and differentiated for 4 to 5 days. The formed myotube cells were injected with 10ng/ml of TNF-α and Luminescence assay and light microscope observation were performed 2 days after each treatment with 10 μM levodropropizine.

In order to confirm the effect of levodropropizine on improving muscle atrophy caused by TNF-α, ATP luminescence assay was performed on myotube cells prepared according to Example 3. Specifically, the C2C12 cells were seeded on a 96 flat clear black plate, washed once with 1×PBS the next day, and then treated with 10 μM of each drug prepared as differentiation medium. After drug treatment (2 days of differentiation), the medium on the plate was removed, 100 μL of ATP reagent was dispensed into each well, a dark environment was created with foil, and ATP luminescence was measured after 10 minutes (Room temperature (RT), veritas microplate luminometer; CellTiterGlo; integration time; 0.5sec). As a control, myotube cells that were not treated with levodropropizine were used.

After levodropropizine treatment, microscopic pictures of the myotube cells prepared according to Example 3 were analyzed to confirm the effect of improving muscle atrophy. Specifically , after C2C12 cell seeding, when confluency reached 70 to 80%, the cells were washed with 1×PBS and replaced with differentiation medium. After differentiation for 4 to 5 days, 10 ng/ml of each atrophic factor, TNF-α, and 10 μM of levodropropizine were prepared as GM at room temperature, then raised to 37°C and treated on myotubes. After 2 days, observation and photography were performed under a microscope (CCD, ×40, ×100), and the myotube diameter was measured using photos taken at 100x magnification (pixel).

As a result, the ATP activity of myotube cells was found to be superior to that of the control group, and it was confirmed that the mitochondria were activated following levodropropizine treatment, thereby increasing the production of ATP, and consequently suppressing skeletal muscle cell atrophy (Figure 5(a)). In addition, when treated with TNF-α, it was confirmed that muscle atrophy occurred due to a decrease in the diameter and area of myotube cells, whereas when treated with levodropropizine, the diameter of myotube cells was larger than when treated with TNF-α. Recovery was confirmed, and in particular, it was confirmed that the area of myotube cells was recovered to a level similar to that of the control group (Figures 5(b) and 5(c)).

Through these results, the excellent effect of improving muscle atrophy resulting from the use of levodropropizine was confirmed.
