Description

一種具降低肝臟脂肪用於治療非酒精性脂肪肝疾病(Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,NAFLD)症狀之無肝副作用化合物組合物 Compound composition for liver-free side effects with reduced liver fat for treating symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

本發明係關於一種用於治療降非酒精性脂肪肝疾病(Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,NAFLD)症狀之安全無副作用化合物組合物,特別是指含至少一種生物類黃酮化合物(bioflavonoids)之化合物組合物,其中該化合物組合物係用於降低肝臟脂肪、血脂肪症狀。 The present invention relates to a safe non-side-effect compound composition for treating symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in particular to a combination of compounds containing at least one bioflavonoids. The composition of the compound is used to reduce liver fat and blood fat symptoms.

肝臟是動物體消化系統的一部分,也是許多消化液製造與分泌的主要器官,肝臟亦具有吸收、代謝、清除有毒物質及免疫保護等功能。肝臟是脂肪代謝的重要器官,在脂肪類食物上的消化、吸收、分解、合成以及運輸的過程中扮演著極為重要的角色。肝臟由血液中所攝取的游離脂肪酸(free fatty acid,FFA),最終會在肝臟中合成三酸甘油脂(triglyceride,TG)並儲存起來,或以VLDL的形式將TG轉運出肝臟進入血液循環中。因此,一旦肝臟受到損傷後,均可導致脂質(尤指triglyceride,TG)在肝細胞內異常的代謝及堆積。 The liver is part of the animal's digestive system and is the main organ for the production and secretion of many digestive juices. The liver also has functions of absorption, metabolism, removal of toxic substances and immune protection. The liver is an important organ of fat metabolism and plays an extremely important role in the process of digestion, absorption, decomposition, synthesis and transportation of fatty foods. The liver is free fatty acid (FFA) in the blood, which will eventually synthesize triglyceride (TG) in the liver and store it, or transport TG out of the liver into the blood circulation in the form of VLDL. . Therefore, once the liver is damaged, it can cause abnormal metabolism and accumulation of lipids (especially triglyceride, TG) in liver cells.

正常情況下脂肪約佔肝臟重量的3%,臨床上所謂「脂肪肝」是指肝臟內的脂肪重量超過肝臟重量的5%,或肝組織切片中超過10%以上的肝細胞有脂肪空泡變現象(請參閱後附之參考文獻2)。肝臟脂肪變性(hepatic steatosis)特別是指非酒精性脂肪肝疾病(non-alcohol fatty liver disease,NAFLD),過去大都被認為是較良性且可逆的疾病,因此較不被重視,但近年來陸續的研究發現,其可能引發肝臟纖維化及肝硬化,甚至是肝癌,再隨著肥胖人口增加,亦有增加之趨勢。脂肪肝依照病因可區分酒精性(alcoholic fatty liver,AFLD)、非酒精性(non-alcohol fatty liver disease,NAFLD)或其他疾病,如obesity、diabetic、hyperlipidemia與insulin resistance所衍生的脂肪肝疾病,病理學外觀上不外呈現脂肪變性(fatty metamorphosis or steatosis)、脂肪性肝炎(steatohepatitis)以及肝纖維化(fibrosis)甚至肝硬化(cirrhosis)等表徵,輕度脂肪肝是指含脂肪變性的肝細胞少於33%,中度為介於33-66%,而重度則佔66%以上(請參閱後附之參考文獻3,9及21)。 Under normal circumstances, fat accounts for about 3% of the weight of the liver. Clinically, "fatty liver" means that the weight of fat in the liver exceeds 5% of the weight of the liver, or more than 10% of liver cells in the liver tissue section have fat vacuoles. Phenomenon (see Attachment 2 attached). Hepatic steatosis, especially non-alcohol fatty liver disease (non-alcohol fatty liver) Disease, NAFLD), in the past, is considered to be a more benign and reversible disease, so it is less valued, but in recent years, successive studies have found that it may cause liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, even liver cancer, followed by obesity Increase, there is also an increasing trend. Fatty liver can be distinguished from alcoholic fatty liver (AFLD), non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or other diseases such as obesity, diabetic, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Appearance is characterized by fatty metamorphosis or steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis and even cirrhosis. Mild fatty liver refers to less hepatocytes containing fatty degeneration. At 33%, the moderate is between 33-66%, while the severe is more than 66% (see references 3, 9 and 21 attached below).

歐美國家主要肝臟疾病係因長期飲酒過量,因絕大部份肝臟疾病皆因酒精傷害所致,但近15-20年,NAFLD卻成為歐美國家中,肝功能異常必先考慮的病因(請參閱後附之參考文獻2)。Thaler曾在1962年對NAFLD有所描述,1980年Ludwig在一群肥胖女性糖尿病及高脂血症患者中,發現伴隨的NAFLD中提出「非酒精性脂性肝炎」(Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis,NASH),隨後在1986年Schaffner更再次強調NASH在NAFLD病程中衍生纖維化的機制中扮演著重要的角色(請參閱後附之參考文獻21);直到1998年Day發現有15-50%的NASH患者衍生不同程度的纖維化(請參閱後附之參考文獻4),NAFLD才開始受到臨床醫師的重視。如今,在臨床上NASH不僅只是NAFLD自然病程發展中的一個階段,也由於其存在使得NAFLD不再被視為一種良性的肝臟疾病。 The main liver diseases in Europe and the United States are due to excessive drinking, because most of the liver diseases are caused by alcohol damage. However, in the past 15-20 years, NAFLD has become the cause of liver function abnormalities in Europe and the United States (see Attached reference 2). Thaler described NAFLD in 1962. In 1980, Ludwig discovered "Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis" (NASH) in a group of obese women with diabetes and hyperlipidemia. In 1986, Schaffner re-emphasized that NASH plays an important role in the mechanism of degeneration of fibrosis in the course of NAFLD (see Attachment 21); until 1998, Day found that 15-50% of NASH patients were derived to varying degrees. The fibrosis (see reference 4 attached below), NAFLD began to receive the attention of clinicians. Today, NASH is not only a stage in the natural progression of NAFLD, but also because of its existence, NAFLD is no longer considered a benign liver disease.

目前在北美、南美、日本、北歐、南歐、澳洲及中東地區之NAFLD研究,發現有10-39%的盛行率,而死後病理解剖組織病理學檢查 中,其盛行率約在20%上下,其中所伴隨的NASH之發現率約為3-18%不等;其中肥胖者中NAFLD的盛行率則高達57-74%(是正常人的4.6倍),其中20-25%存有NASH病變,罹患肝硬化者亦佔2-3%;在第二型糖尿病患中約有75%罹患NAFLD。臺灣地區近三十年來,由於經濟環境及飲食的改善,NAFLD盛行率亦有逐年增高趨勢,近年來盛行率約12-37%,與日本的9-13%相較不遠,其中非肥胖者盛行率約10%,而屬病態肥胖者(BMI大於30者)盛行率則高達80%(請參閱後附之參考文獻15及23)。 The current NAFLD study in North America, South America, Japan, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Australia and the Middle East has found a prevalence of 10-39%, and post-mortem pathological anatomical histopathology Among them, its prevalence rate is about 20%, and the accompanying rate of NASH is about 3-18%. Among them, the prevalence of NAFLD among obese people is as high as 57-74% (4.6 times that of normal people). Among them, 20-25% have NASH lesions, and those with cirrhosis also account for 2-3%; about 75% of type 2 diabetes suffer from NAFLD. In the past 30 years in Taiwan, due to the improvement of economic environment and diet, the prevalence of NAFLD has also increased year by year. In recent years, the prevalence rate is about 12.37%, which is not far from Japan's 9-13%, among which non-obese people The prevalence rate is about 10%, while the prevalence of morbidly obese people (BMI greater than 30) is as high as 80% (see references 15 and 23 below).

NAFLD致病機轉相當複雜,病程中衍生成NASH真正致病機轉仍尚不明確,英國Day與James根據大量臨床及動物實驗研究提出二次打擊假說(Two-hit hypothesis),第一個hit後出現脂肪肝(fatty liver),第二個hit後則出現脂肪性肝炎(steatohepatitis)。第一個hit肇因於肝臟內脂肪的過度堆積,原因有肥胖、高血脂症、糖尿病及胰島素抗性(insulin resistance,IR)等;第二個hit則是起因於氧化壓力(oxidative stress)及粒線體中reactive oxygen species(ROS)作用,造成肝細胞膜上脂質過氧化(lipid peroxidation),釋放出pro-inflammiatory cytokines及free radicals,活化星狀細胞(stellate cells)產生纖維化,導致肝細胞患壞死(請參閱後附之參考文獻4,5及19)(第一圖)。而NASH的致病機轉主要與三酸甘油脂過氧化作用、insulin resistance、oxidative stress、reactive oxygen species(ROS)reaction,增加肝細胞本身脂質的過氧化反應、或與cytokine及肝臟細胞色素P450(cytochrome P450,如:CYP2E1及CYP4A)的增進,導致一系列自體免疫的相互反應有關(請參閱後附之參考文獻12)。 The pathogenesis of NAFLD is quite complicated, and the pathogenesis of NASH is still unclear. The Day and James in the United Kingdom proposed a two-hit hypothesis based on a large number of clinical and animal experiments. The first hit Fatty liver appears after the second hit, and steatohepatitis occurs after the second hit. The first hit is due to excessive accumulation of fat in the liver, due to obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and insulin resistance (IR); the second hit is caused by oxidative stress and Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria cause lipid peroxidation on the membrane of the liver, releasing pro-inflammiatory cytokines and free radicals, and activating stellate cells to produce fibrosis, leading to liver cell disease. Necrosis (please refer to the attached references 4, 5 and 19) (first figure). The pathogenesis of NASH is mainly related to triglyceride lipid peroxidation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) reaction, increasing the peroxidation of lipids in hepatocytes, or cytokine and liver cytochrome P450 ( The enhancement of cytochrome P450, such as CYP2E1 and CYP4A, leads to a series of autoimmune interactions (see Attachment 12 below).

NAFLD致病因子有(1)insulin resistance:98% NAFLD患者 具insulin resistance,insulin有抑制脂分解作用,當周邊組織對insulin產生抗性,會促進肝細胞中三酸甘油脂的分解及抑制free fatty acids的酯化,導致free fatty acids增加,產生肝臟脂肪病變;(2)Obesity:70-100% NAFLD患者具obesity。脂肪細胞素(如TNF-α、leptin、adiponectin、resistin與interleukin-6)具有調節能量代謝及免疫的功能,許多報告指出脂肪細胞素分泌不正常將促使NAFLD患者肝臟發炎及纖維化,加重肝臟病變;(3)Oxidative stress:粒線體是細胞中ROS的主要來源,因insulin resistance,故NAFLD患者具游離脂肪酸偏高的現象,導致free radical的產生,破壞粒線體呼吸鏈,損害粒線體,造成肝毒性(請參閱後附之參考文獻5及7),所以氧化傷害一直被認為是導致NAFLD惡化成NASH、肝硬化的二次打擊(second hit)。 NAFLD virulence factors are (1) insulin resistance: 98% NAFLD patients With insulin resistance, insulin inhibits lipolysis. When peripheral tissues are resistant to insulin, it promotes the decomposition of triglycerides in hepatocytes and inhibits the esterification of free fatty acids, resulting in increased free fatty acids and liver fatty lesions. (2) Obesity: 70-100% NAFLD patients have obesity. Adipocytokines (such as TNF-α, leptin, adiponectin, resistin and interleukin-6) have functions of regulating energy metabolism and immunity. Many reports indicate that abnormal secretion of adipocytokines will promote liver inflammation and fibrosis in patients with NAFLD, aggravating liver disease. (3)Oxidative stress: mitochondria is the main source of ROS in cells. Due to insulin resistance, NAFLD patients have high free fatty acids, leading to the production of free radicals, destroying the mitochondrial respiratory chain and damaging the mitochondria. , causing hepatotoxicity (please refer to the attached references 5 and 7), so oxidative damage has been considered as a secondary hit that causes NAFLD to deteriorate into NASH and cirrhosis.

脂肪肝的形成大多是長期攝取過多動物性脂肪、蛋白質、碳水化合物,過剩的熱量在體內轉化成脂肪囤積起來,導致肥胖及脂肪肝。脂肪肝患者血中的GOT/GPT數值可能都正常,要正確診斷脂肪肝,必須透過腹部超音波檢查,目前準確率達97%以上。 The formation of fatty liver is mostly the long-term intake of excessive animal fat, protein, carbohydrates, excess calories in the body converted into fat accumulation, leading to obesity and fatty liver. The GOT/GPT values in the blood of patients with fatty liver may be normal. To correctly diagnose fatty liver, it is necessary to pass the ultrasound examination of the abdomen. The current accuracy rate is over 97%.

根據2009年FDA公告,目前NAFLD尚無特定療效的理想治療藥物,治療方針主要是改善潛在危險因子或使用藥物控制慢性疾病的進展為主,建議依形成脂肪肝原因對症加以治療,如:體重過重導致的脂肪肝,須適度減輕體重;酒精性脂肪肝,需靠戒酒及攝取均衡飲食才能改善;長期接觸傷害肝臟的化學物質或藥物,引起的脂肪肝,則須立即停止使用這些藥物;疾病引起的脂肪肝,如C型肝炎、糖尿病、血脂肪過高等,須針對源頭著手,治療C肝、血糖、控制血脂;若是體質因素導致三酸甘油脂(TG)太高,則須服用降血脂藥物,才能改善脂肪肝。醫學研究顯示,肝臟和血 中過高TG是造成NAFLD的危險因子,亦是罹患冠狀動脈心臟病、高血壓等慢性疾病的重要危險因子,因此如何降低肝臟和血中TG便成了預防NAFLD、心臟病、高血壓等慢性病的重要課題。 According to the 2009 FDA announcement, there is currently no ideal therapeutic drug for NAFLD. The treatment policy is mainly to improve the potential risk factors or use drugs to control the progress of chronic diseases. It is recommended to treat the disease according to the cause of fatty liver, such as: overweight Fatty liver caused by moderate weight loss; alcoholic fatty liver, need to rely on alcohol and a balanced diet to improve; long-term exposure to liver damage to chemicals or drugs, fatty liver, you must stop using these drugs immediately; Fatty liver caused, such as hepatitis C, diabetes, high blood fat, etc., must start at the source, treat C liver, blood sugar, control blood lipids; if the body factors cause triglyceride (TG) is too high, you must take hypolipidemic Drugs can improve fatty liver. Medical research shows that liver and blood Too high TG is a risk factor for NAFLD, and it is also an important risk factor for chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. Therefore, how to reduce TG in liver and blood has become a chronic disease such as prevention of NAFLD, heart disease and hypertension. Important topic.

然而目前臨床常用降低血清TG、膽固醇藥品常伴隨者肝毒性(hepatotoxicity)、肌痛、肌炎、橫紋肌溶解等肌肉病變(myopathy)副作用,其中降血脂藥物中,肌肉毒性是最值得關注的副作用,尤以Statins發生肌肉毒性比例最高,Fibric acid次之。目前研究證實:(1)多數如:Atorvastatin(Lipitor®立普妥)、Rosuvastatin(Crestor®冠脂妥)、Pravastatin、Fluvastatin(Lescol XL®)及Simvastatin(Zocor®)等Statin類藥物確有肝毒性風險,導致肝臟內膽汁淤積,引起黃疸或藥物肝損傷(drug-induced liver injury),甚至肝硬化和肝功能衰竭;(2)降血脂藥物具有“驅脂”作用,能將血液中的脂類“驅趕”到肝臟,而肝臟內本來就已有脂肪堆積,故對大量涌入的脂類難以進行處理,脂肪便會堆積在肝臟內,使得脂肪肝更加嚴重,如:Fenofibrate(Lipanthyl®)、Gemfibrozil(Lopid®)等Fibric acid衍生物,由此可知降血脂用藥並不適合用於治療NAFLD。 However, in the clinic, serum TG and cholesterol drugs are often accompanied by side effects such as hepatotoxicity, myalgia, myositis, rhabdomyolysis and other myopathy. Among the hypolipidemic drugs, muscle toxicity is the most important side effect. In particular, Statins has the highest rate of muscle toxicity, followed by Fibric acid. Current research confirms: (1) Most of the Statin drugs such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor®), Rosuvastatin (Crestor®), Pravastatin, Fluvastatin (Lescol XL®) and Simvastatin (Zocor®) do have hepatotoxicity. Risk, leading to cholestasis in the liver, causing jaundice or drug-induced liver injury, even cirrhosis and liver failure; (2) lipid-lowering drugs have a "lip-repellent" effect, can lipids in the blood "Driven" to the liver, and there is already fat accumulation in the liver, so it is difficult to treat a large amount of influx of fat, fat will accumulate in the liver, making fatty liver more serious, such as: Fenofibrate (Lipanthyl®), Fibric acid derivatives such as Gemfibrozil (Lopid®), it is known that hypolipidemic drugs are not suitable for the treatment of NAFLD.

生物類黃酮化合物(bioflavonoids)是一低分子天然植物酚類化合物,表現出多種多樣的藥理活性,且毒性副作用小,廣泛存於蔬果、穀物、根莖、花卉、茶葉與紅葡萄酒中,許多文獻證實bioflavonoids具抗氧化、抑制發炎、降低血膽固醇與血壓、預防心血管疾病、抗癌等作用。 Bioflavonoids are low-molecular natural plant phenolic compounds that exhibit a wide variety of pharmacological activities with low toxic side effects and are widely found in fruits, vegetables, grains, rhizomes, flowers, teas and red wines. Bioflavonoids have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and fight cancer.

由此可見,上述習用降血脂、膽固醇藥物有其缺失,不適用於伴有高血脂症之NAFLD患者,實非一良善之設計者,而亟待加以改良。本案發明人鑑於上述習用降血脂、膽固醇藥物來治療改善NAFLD患者,有 諸多需改善之處,乃亟思加以改良創新,苦心孤詣潛心研究,以生物類黃酮化合物(bioflavonoids)為篩選化合物群組,利用oleic acids誘導人類肝臟細胞株Hep G2發生脂肪堆積作為NAFLD肝細胞模式,成功研發完成本案一種可降低肝臟中、血液中脂肪與改善非酒精性脂肪肝疾病(Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,NAFLD)症狀之化合物組合,悉為世人之健康福祉,以提供天然複方之化合物組成。 It can be seen that the above-mentioned conventional hypolipidemic and cholesterol drugs have their defects, and are not suitable for patients with NAFLD accompanied by hyperlipidemia, which is not a good designer, and needs to be improved. In view of the above-mentioned conventional use of hypolipidemic and cholesterol drugs to treat patients with improved NAFLD, the inventors of the present invention have Many areas for improvement are thoughts of improvement and innovation, painstaking research, bioflavonoids as a screening group, and oleic acids to induce fat accumulation in human liver cell line Hep G2 as a NAFLD hepatocyte model. Successfully developed and completed a combination of compounds that can reduce the fat in the liver, blood and improve the symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and understand the health and well-being of the world to provide natural compound compounds. .

2.5 組織病理學的觀察:為觀察肝損傷時,肝細胞的受損、脂肪堆積、壞死或是否有纖維化等變化,將肝組織做H&E染色以評估肝脂肪堆積程度。為避免觀察主觀上的偏差,所有的組織病理切片都是由最大右葉肝的同一位置切取下來,再去做病理染色。至於病理的半定量分析之評估,應由人醫或獸醫病理醫師進行雙盲分析確認,在不清楚本實驗設計的情況下,對所有切片進行評分比較(Total HAI-score,請參閱Knodell RG,Ishak KG,Black WC,Chen TS,Craig R,Kaplowitz N,Kiernan TW and Wollman J.(1981)Formulation and application of a numerical scoring system for assessing histological activity in asymptomatic chronic active hepatitis.Hepatology 1:431-435)16,最後再以統計分析方法進行各組差異性的分析。 2.5 Histopathological observation: In order to observe the liver damage, liver cell damage, fat accumulation, necrosis or fibrosis, the liver tissue was H&E stained to assess the degree of liver fat accumulation. In order to avoid observing subjective deviations, all histopathological sections were cut from the same position of the largest right lobe liver and then pathologically stained. As for the semi-quantitative analysis of pathology, a double-blind analysis should be performed by a human or veterinary pathologist. All the sections are scored and compared without knowing the design of the experiment (Total HAI-score, see Knodell RG, Ishak KG, Black WC, Chen TS, Craig R, Kaplowitz N, Kiernan TW and Wollman J. (1981) Formulation and application of a numerical scoring system for assessing histological activity in asymptomatic chronic active hepatitis. Hepatology 1:431-435) Finally, the statistical analysis method was used to analyze the differences of each group.

3. 統計分析: 所有實驗數據均以means±SD表示,統計分析選擇使用ANOVA(analysis of variance),比較試驗前、後上述三組不同劑量試驗組各肝臟相關生化值變化,是否具統計學上之顯著差異(p<0.05),加以評估判斷試驗樣品是否具有保護肝臟或可降低其中某項危險因子之功能。 3. Statistical analysis: All experimental data were expressed as mean±SD. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA (analysis of variance). The liver biochemical values of the three groups of different doses before and after the test were compared. Is it statistically significant? Significant differences (p < 0.05) were evaluated to determine whether the test sample had the function of protecting the liver or reducing one of the risk factors.
