Description

Antibacterial composition containing mugwort extract and antibacterial or deodorizing composition containing the same {ANTIBACTERIAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING FIELD ASTER EXTRACT AND ANTIBACTERIAL OR DEODORIZING COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAME}

The present invention relates to an antibacterial composition containing mugwort extract and an antibacterial or deodorizing composition containing the same. More specifically, the present invention provides a composition that exhibits excellent antibacterial properties, can be used directly on the body with excellent safety, and can be used as products of various formulations through excellent antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

In general, when microorganisms or bacteria ingest and decompose sweat, sebum, or contaminants secreted by the human body, inflammation is caused by strong skin irritation, and bacteria such as Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli A strong odor may be generated by these bacteria, and bacteria may multiply in everyday items such as clothing, bedding, and shoes contaminated with human secretions, threatening health.

In addition, in the case of offices or houses, places where humidity and temperature conditions are suitable, such as corners, closets, shoe cabinets, and under beds, are rich in nutrients for bacteria to consume, so various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, pathogenic bacteria, and mold fungi are present. They multiply and cause allergic diseases such as respiratory diseases, itching, and rashes, or create bad odors indoors.

Meanwhile, a variety of organic or inorganic synthetic antibacterial deodorants are being manufactured to suppress the growth of the above microorganisms and remove bad odors caused by microorganisms. The method for producing antibacterial agents by synthesizing these conventional chemicals is described in detail in Domestic Patent Registration No. 10-1180117.

However, the antibacterial deodorant synthesized from the conventional chemicals may cause harmful side effects to the human body, such as respiratory disease, itching, and rash, due to the antibacterial deodorant released when used in a closet, shoe cabinet, office, living room, etc., especially on the skin. There was a problem that it could corrode the skin if contacted directly.

In addition, commonly used antibacterial deodorizers include Rox, a chlorine-based disinfectant. Oxygen generated from hypochlorous acid (HClO) exerts an antibacterial and deodorizing effect, so it has a strong antibacterial effect. However, due to the toxicity of chlorine gas generated during use, it causes discomfort to users and concerns about human safety, so it is used in kitchens and There is a tendency to be reluctant to use it in indoor spaces, including the kitchen.

Conventional kitchen detergents are mainly composed of surfactants, cleaning aids, active ingredients, fragrance, water, etc. Among these detergent ingredients, those with cleaning performance and foaming properties are mainly surfactants, and in particular, anionic surfactants are mainly used in liquid detergents.

However, in the case of oil-based contamination and stubborn stains, which are among the main contaminants in the kitchen, anionic surfactants generally do not have a sufficient removal effect. In particular, fish, meat, fishy smells, and food odors after cooking, especially amine compounds such as basic ammonia and trimethylamine, and acidic hydrogen sulfide and methyl produced when many types of bacteria multiply due to residual moisture during food cooking and dishwashing. Sulfurized compounds such as mercaptan and odors such as acetaldehyde with a low volatile point are difficult to remove with conventional kitchen detergents. Conventionally, the following various methods have been used for deodorizing effects.

First, the chemical removal method uses chemical reactions such as neutralization, addition, polymerization, oxidation-reduction, and hydrolysis to react with highly reactive substances on antibacterial and odorous substances, thereby decomposing or changing the antibacterial and odorous substances into odorless compounds. This is a method to fundamentally remove the antibacterial and odorous substances.

Second, physical and chemical removal methods include adsorbing or collecting antibacterial and odorous substances on the surface with compounds with strong adsorption and capture ability such as activated carbon, silica, or cyclodextrin, or absorption by high boiling point solvents, surfactants, liquid paraffin, etc. This is a method of removing antibacterial and odor substances using high-grade alcohol, synthetic resin, etc.

Third, as a biological chemical removal method, the generation of odor components by bacteria is blocked through sterilization using amphoteric surfactants, disinfectants, etc., or the odor components are decomposed into organic acids using digestive enzymes, bacteria, yeast, etc. to remove odors. am.

Fourth, sensory antibacterial and deodorizing methods mainly include basic or volatile compounds such as ammonia, amines, acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, indoles, aromatics, polyaromatics, and sulfur compounds such as thiols, mercaptans, and sulfides. am.

Until now, antibacterial and deodorizing technologies have mainly focused on masking methods that use fragrance to prevent odors from appearing, rather than fundamental removal of the ingredients themselves. In this method, when the fragrance volatilizes, the odor ingredients remain. .

Recently, research has been actively conducted on antibacterial and deodorizing agents that can fundamentally eliminate antibacterial and deodorizing problems. Representative examples include cyclodextrin, a cyclic polysaccharide, and metal minerals as main ingredients, and adding a masking scent to the surface of clothing and textiles. A technology for deodorizing by spraying has been introduced. This is described as a method of removing antibacterial and odorous substances by chemically decomposing odorous substances through metal ions during masking with scent and decomposing cyclotextrin while the moisture is drying. .

This technology has the advantage of causing little damage to the fiber and showing an excellent deodorizing effect against volatile odorous substances such as indoor household odors and cigarette odors, but it also has the advantage of showing basic odors such as sebum contamination and odors such as excrement and odors in the kitchen. It has the disadvantage of being almost ineffective against putrid odor caused by bacterial growth due to moisture. In addition, cyclodextrin, which is composed of glucose, can cause microorganisms to grow and multiply if antibacterial agents and preservatives are not used properly, and even if left for a long period of time, mold can easily grow, causing odor or discoloration, as well as being unsatisfactory in terms of hygiene. There is a problem.

Therefore, there is a need for an antibacterial agent derived from natural products that exhibits antibacterial activity and does not cause irritation or side effects to the human body.

Meanwhile, some of the substances that play an important role in the process of maintaining homeostasis of living organisms are physiologically active substances derived from various living organisms. To date, much research has been conducted on numerous biologically active substances, and among them, research on antibacterial substances isolated from microorganisms, plants, or animals can be said to be a very important area in the fields of life science and medicine.

All living things are known to produce antibacterial and antifungal substances for survival, and much research is being conducted on microorganisms that produce antibacterial and antifungal substances. Research to develop antibacterial or antifungal agents has been attempted for a long time.

Antibacterial substances are substances that kill microorganisms, have low toxicity to humans or animals, and have selective toxicity that is not inactivated by enzymes in the body. They mainly involve the replication of DNA, the transcription and decoding of genetic information, and the use of electronic energy. It is effective through a mechanism that inhibits the growth of microorganisms by inhibiting transport and cell wall biosynthesis.

The main antibacterial substances developed to date can be divided into those of natural origin, such as microorganisms and plants, and those that are chemically synthesized. The first antibacterial substance isolated from nature was penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, and has since been classified as either naturally derived or chemically synthesized. Many chemically synthesized antibacterial substances are used to treat diseases caused by harmful bacteria, but recently, due to increasing resistance to chemically synthesized antibacterial substances, there is an increasing interest in developing antibacterial drugs using naturally derived antibacterial substances. am.

Technology related to naturally derived antibacterial or antifungal agents, including Sophora ginseng extract (KR 10-1994-0023496 A), grapefruit extract (patent application KR 10-1993-0006320 A), mixed extracts of fennel, fennel, sesame seeds, camphor plants, and cloves.

Excellent antibacterial effect.

Cytokines are protein immunomodulators secreted from immune cells and bind to specific receptors during autocrine signaling, paracrine signaling, and endocrine signaling to produce immune response. involved in There are various types of cytokines involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, or wound healing, and many are particularly involved in immunity and inflammation.

Among these, the most important immune functions are performed by a group of cytokines known as interleukin (Interleukin-1, -6, -12), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

Interleukin (IL) is secreted from white blood cells and is involved in immune system regulation. Currently, more than 30 types are known. Interleukin is a substance that plays an important role in the body's defense function by regulating the immune response by acting on various stages of the immune response. Its types include IL-1, 6, and 12.

Among these, IL-12 is a cytokine composed of p35 and p40 proteins, and has a very important immunological function in linking innate and acquired immunity. It is also involved in the removal of endogenous antigens by various effector cells, such as macrophages. ), induces the activation of NK cells and T-cells. NK cells and T-cells activated by stimulation of IL-12 have the characteristics of being major factors mediating the early innate immune response by stimulating the production of IFN-γ. In addition, it is the most important mediator of cellular immunity because it induces the immune system of T-cells to become Th-1-oriented.

Interferon (IFN) functions to prevent the proliferation of viruses or control cell proliferation and also plays an important function in the immune system. Interferons come in alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), and omega (ω) types. Interferon-α is mainly secreted by macrophages, and interferon-β is mainly secreted by fibroblasts. Interferon-γ is secreted by Th1 cells and NK cells, and interferon-ω is mainly secreted by trophoblasts or trophoblasts. In particular, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is produced by T lymphocytes and macrogranulocytes and is a substance that induces the killing of phagocytosed microorganisms or antigens. In addition, it has various immunomodulatory effects and activates macrophages.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cell signaling protein related to inflammatory response and is a cytokine that induces acute phase response. Tumor necrosis factor is divided into tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and tumor necrosis factor-β (TNF-β), also called lymphotoxin, but tumor necrosis factor generally refers to tumor necrosis factor-α. .

Therefore, in the case of the immune function improvement effect of the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immune function improvement composition of the present invention, natural products without human toxicity and side effects are used, and TNF-α and IL-12, which activate the immune response, are used. It increases the production of cytokines.

Therefore, when using the extract, the effect of preventing and improving allergic diseases or immune diseases including asthma, eczema, and rhinitis can be achieved.

[Preparation example: Preparation of extract]

1. Preparation of Aster mugwort extract

After washing and drying the mugwort, it was pulverized. The pulverized material was subjected to hot water extraction, filtered, and concentrated to prepare Artemisia Aster extract (AE).

2. Preparation of other extracts

In the same manner as the above-mentioned mugwort extract, hot-water extraction was performed on Gujeolcho, tangerine peel, Dalgae, Gaebulul, and Nasturtium, and the extracts of Gujeolcho (BE), Tangerine peel extract (CE), Dalgae extract (DE), Gabula extract (EE), and Nasturtium were obtained. Extract (FE) was prepared.

3. Preparation of mixed formulation

[Experimental example: activity evaluation]

1. Antibacterial activity evaluation

To evaluate the antibacterial activity of each extract and mixed formulation, Staphylococcus aureus KCTC1928 (SA), Escherichia coli (EC), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were tested. aureus) was used as a test strain.

The test strain was cultured using a medium (Muller hinton broth) at a temperature of 37°C until the McFarland turbidity reached 0.5, and then used in an antibacterial test.

Evaluation of antibacterial activity was performed using the paper disk diffusion method (Toama et al., 1978). 0.1 ml of culture medium for each of the four strains to be tested was spread on a sterilized agar medium, and the mixed extracts (M1 to M6) prepared in Preparation Example 1 were dissolved in the same solvent as the extraction solvent at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. After preparing the extraction sample, 10 μl or 20 μl was dropped onto a paper disk (Advantac, USA) with a diameter of 0.8 mm and cultured at 37°C. Afterwards, the antibacterial activity was measured based on the presence or absence of growth-inhibiting ring formation and the diameter of the growth-inhibiting ring.

Purified water was used as a control, and the antibacterial activity of each extract was evaluated and shown in [Table 2] below. For objective comparison, the results of the control group were fixed at an index of 10, and the results of the control group and the results of each extract were compared and evaluated on an index of 1 to 10. The lower the number, the better the antibacterial activity.

(Unit: index)

Referring to [Table 2] above, it can be seen that AE has excellent antibacterial activity. Therefore, it can be confirmed that when using a single extract, when using AE, it can show the best antibacterial effect compared to the same dose.

In addition, in order to determine whether the use of the mixed formulation resulted in an additional synergistic effect on antibacterial activity, M1 to M12 were evaluated in the same manner as above. In addition, for an objective comparative evaluation of the synergistic effect, the result of AE as a control group was fixed at 10, and the antibacterial activity of M1 to M12 was comparatively evaluated with an index of 1 to 10. The lower the number, the better the antibacterial activity. If the index is 10, it means that the antibacterial activity is equal to or lower than that of AE.

The results are shown in [Table 3] below.

A.E. M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10 M11 M12 SA 10 10 10 10 5 5 5 7 5 2 2 One 6 EC 10 10 10 9 5 5 4 8 5 2 One 2 5 PA 10 10 10 10 6 5 5 8 6 2 2 2 6 MRSA 10 10 10 10 7 6 6 8 6 3 2 One 7

Referring to [Table 3], it was confirmed that M1 to M2 had an overall low level of antibacterial activity compared to AE, and that a synergistic effect due to mixing was not observed.

However, in the case of the mixing range of M4 to M6, it can be confirmed that the antibacterial effect increases significantly due to the synergistic effect due to the interaction of the active ingredients included in each mixing composition. Therefore, it can be confirmed that excellent antibacterial activity can be achieved with a smaller amount using the above mixed composition. In addition, it can be seen that in the case of M9 to M11, additional synergistic activity appears compared to M5. This means that the above mixed formulations exhibit antibacterial activity through different mechanisms, and it can be assumed that a synergistic effect is achieved through interaction within a certain mixing range. Therefore, when within the above range, even a small amount can exhibit excellent antibacterial activity, making it possible to utilize it in various formulations.

2. Evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity

In order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of each extract and mixed composition, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were evaluated.

Specifically, in the hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability test, hydrogen peroxide solution (40 mM) was prepared in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Black kelp extract was added to hydrogen peroxide solution (0.6mL, 40mM). The absorbance of hydrogen peroxide at 230 nm was measured after 10 minutes against a blank solution containing phosphate buffer without hydrogen peroxide. The percent hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity of both sample and standard compounds was calculated:

[Equation 1]

Eliminated [H ₂ O ₂ ] = [(AC - AS)/AC] × 100

where AC is the absorbance of the control and AS is the absorbance in the presence of the sample or standard sample. The results are shown in [Table 4] below.

In addition, to evaluate the DPPH free radical scavenging ability, 10 mg DPPH was dissolved in 100 ml methanol (MeOH) to make it 100 ㎍/ml. A stock solution of the extract was prepared by dissolving 25 mg in 50 ml of MeOH. 1 ml DPPH was added to each solution and the solutions were kept dark and allowed to stand for exactly 30 minutes. The UV absorption of each solution was recorded at 516 nm. The reaction was carried out at 37 °C for 30 min and absorbance was monitored with a microplate reader at 516 nm. % radical scavenging activity (% RSA) was determined compared to the DMSO containing control. Scavenging of free radicals by DPPH as radical scavenging activity (%) was calculated as follows:

Referring to [Table 4], excellent anti-inflammatory activity was observed in AE among single compositions. In particular, it can be seen that it has superior activity compared to CE.

In addition, in the mixed formulation, it can be seen that the anti-inflammatory activity increases due to the interaction of each active ingredient in M4 to M6, and in the case of M9 to M11, it shows a much better effect than the simple combination due to additional synergistic activity compared to M5. You can check the point.

Therefore, in the case of the above mixed formulation, it may be possible to use it in various formulations as a functional product that shows better effects with a smaller amount.

Therefore, the AE or mixed formulation provided in the present invention can exhibit excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity, and can be provided in various formulations such as food and external preparations. In particular, in the case of the above mixed formulation, excellent effects can be achieved with a small amount, so it can be provided as a functional product that can be used for a long time without problems such as side effects.

In particular, it can oxidize or remove odorous components generated by microbial metabolism through its excellent antibacterial activity, so it can be provided as a deodorant in various formulations. The composition is a plant-derived ingredient that is not toxic to the human body and provides excellent antibacterial activity at a low content, so it can be easily applied to various products such as skin care products and wet tissues as well as fabric deodorizers that come in contact with the body to demonstrate functionality.

3. Evaluation of anti-allergic activity

In order to evaluate the resistance activity of allergic diseases for the AE and each mixed formulation, the production amount of prostaglandin D ₂ (PGD ₂ ) was measured. For measurements, the PGD ₂ EIA kit (Cayman, PGD2-MOX EIA kit, product no. 512011) was used.

Mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) were isolated from the bone marrow of BALB/C mice and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 ng/ml streptomycin and IL. BMMCs of over 90% homogeneity were obtained by culturing with -3 (a culture medium containing the final 20% supernatant obtained by stimulating rat spleen cells with pokeweed mitogen) for approximately 3 weeks. After 3 ^weeks of culturing the BMMC above, the cells were pre-treated with AE at different concentrations (50 μg/ml, 100 μg/ml, 150 μg/ml, 200 μg/ml, 250 μg/ml) at a cell concentration of 2×10 5 cells for 30 minutes. , PGD ₂ in the supernatant 8 hours after cell stimulation was measured by EIA (Enzyme linked immune assay) using a PGD ₂ analysis kit (Cayman). At this time, in order to inhibit the production of PGD ₂ produced by COX-1 (cyclooxygenase-1), BMMCs were pretreated with 10 ng/ml of aspirin 1 hour before use. Washed four times with washing buffer, treated with 200 μl of substrate solution each, reacted for 5-20 minutes, treated with 50 μl of stop solution, and measured absorbance at 450 nm using ELx800. (BIO-TEK, Instrument, Inc, USA).

The results are shown in [Table 5] below.

50 100 150 200 250 PGD ₂ (pg/ml) 275 150 145 130 90

Referring to [Table 5], it can be seen that when AE is used, the production of PGD ₂ is suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner.

Meanwhile, in order to evaluate the synergistic activity of the mixed formulation, the same anti-allergy evaluation was conducted on M3 to M12, excluding M1 and M2, for which no synergistic effects were observed in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. For objective comparative evaluation, the results of AE were fixed at an index of 10, and the results of M3 to M12 were compared with AE and evaluated with an index of 1 to 10. The lower the index number, the better the anti-allergy effect. Additionally, if the index is 10, it means that the effect is equal to or lower than that of AE and no synergistic effect is observed.

The results are shown in [Table 6] below.

A.E. M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10 M11 M12 PGD ₂ (index) 10 10 6 6 7 9 6 4 3 4 8

Referring to [Table 6], it can be seen that in the case of M4 to M6, the anti-allergy effect increases due to additional synergistic activity. In addition, it can be confirmed that in the case of M9 to M11, an additional synergistic effect can be exhibited compared to M5.

Therefore, in the case of the above mixed formulation, it is possible to show a prevention and improvement effect on allergic diseases with a small amount through synergistic activity. In addition, it can be used continuously without problems such as side effects even after long-term use.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims are also possible. falls within the scope of rights.
