Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the recovery from drunken conditions and to the prevention of brain cell damage, and especially to novel compositions used to recover from a hangover by alcohol and to prevent brain cell damage, and to a process to produce the composition therein.
  • a hangover is a physical pain of the human body after one has drunk alcohol m excess.
  • a hangover involves the mam symptoms such as a headacne with vomiting, a stomachache and a brash of sour stomach, etc.
  • Intestinal brash and the like which are caused by excessive secretion of gastric juices, that is, gastric hyperacidity due to ethanol itself, can be improved and restored by internal use of antacid.
  • a headache due to a hangover is generally known to result from acetaldehyde as the metabolite of alcohol.
  • Acetaldehyde affects nerve cells in the cerebrum and the cerebellum and so on, and recently, is known to be accumulated m a large amount withm the cerebellum. Additionally, the anesthetic effect of ethyl alcohol is so strong that it makes one feel no headache, even though acetaldehyde is produced while drinking wine. However, it has been found that the headache caused by acetaldehyde does not occur until the ethanol level m blood is lowered, followed by a decrease in anesthetic effect. Acetaldehyde, in particular, causes the contraction of cerebral blood vessels and allows the blood flow rate to decrease so that it consequently causes severe pain.
  • cerebral cells generate ATPs (abbr. of "adenos e triphosphate” ) only from saccharides, compared to the cells in other areas of tne body that use carbohydrates, fats and saccharides to produce ATPs as an energy source.
  • Ethanol reduces the level of blood sugar so that the pain grows worse by the deficiency of energy.
  • Oxidative stress caused by ethanol and acetaldehyde has been disclosed to occur if antioxidant materials cells which are required to eliminate free radicals generated during the energy metabolism are decreased.
  • free radicals increase during the process of the metabolism of ethanol and derive oxidation of the glutathion (GSH) which shows the strongest antioxidation effect among different antioxidation enzymes and/or substances m cells.
  • the human body is exposed to various toxic materials contained m contaminated environments and can metabolize them to produce narmful free radicals.
  • the free radicals can induce brain cells damage and cause serious brain disease such as Alzheimer's disease.
  • Ginkgo biloba extract has been used to treat asthma or bronchitis as a Chinese medicine m China for a long time, and recently, it has been known that the extract of ginkgo leaves is on the market m the areas of Europe and Asia as a medical agent to treat senile peripheral neuropathy (or peripheral nerve disorder) , cerebrovascular disorder and/or asthma.
  • Taurine is an important suostance m the human body. Octopuses, squids, shrimps and clams are known to contain large amounts of taurine. It has been known that taurine can protect the liver, help one recover from fatigue, protect one's eyesight, and prevent and treat stomach ulcers and duodenum ulcers.
  • the present inventor studied the method to remove acetaldehydes inducing the headaches, thereby finding that the contents of the acetaldehydes m blood can be effectively reduced by combining acetaldehydes with taurine to form complexes, further, using the blood circulation effect of "Gmgko" and thus accomplishing the present invention.
  • the inventor has achieved the protection of cerebral oxidative damage caused by ethanol and acetaldehyde.
  • composition according to the present invention has a significant effect preventing brain cell damage due to exposure to various harmful materials .
  • the primary ob ect of the present invention is to provide new compositions to restore and recover the body from drunken conditions due to alcohol.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide new pharmaceutical compositions to prevent bram cell damage.
  • the present invention relates to a medicine or a composition comprising "Ginkgo biloba extract” and “Taurine” for recovering from a hangover.
  • composition above may contain sugar, Ostrea gigas and Amomum villosum.
  • Fig. 1 is a graphic representation of the effect of taurine (“Tau”) m reducing acetaldehyde (“AcH”) m blood.
  • Fig. 2 is a graphic representation of the relation between the amount and the reaction of AcH and Tau.
  • Fig. 3 shows the analysis result of the structure of the AcH + Tau complex by GC mass.
  • Fig. 4 is a graphic representation of the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract ( "Gbe” ) and Tau to the peroxidation of ethanol-denved lipids.
  • Fig. 5 is a graphic representation of the effects of Gbe and Tau to the carbonylation of ethanol-denved protein.
  • Fig. 6 is a graphic representation of the effects of Gbe + Tau on headaches induced by wme.
  • compositions of the present invention for recovering from a hangover and for preventing bram cell damage comprise Ginkgo biloba extract and taurine.
  • Ginkgo biloba extract contained in the composition can improve the antioxidative effect resistant to tne damage by ethanol-denved oxidation and facilitate the cerebrovascular circulation to remove acetaldehyde as the metabolite of ethanol in the cerebral blood vessels.
  • Taurine contained m the present composition generates a complex withm the acetaldehyde excluded from the bram and blood vessels so that it prevents the acetaldehyde along with hemokmesis to flow back into the bram.
  • the composition according to the present invention may preferably include 0.01-10.0wt% Ginkgo biloba extract and 0.01-10.0wt% taurine per 100 ml of the composition.
  • Ginkgo biloba extract is on the market or is directly obtained from ginkgo leaves by the processes of extracting the leaves and filtering and drying the supernatant .
  • the present composition can be prepared by adding Ginkgo biloba extract and Taurine into edible water, admixing them at room temperature and further adding known and acceptable additives such as preservatives and flavorings m sufficient amounts to produce the desired effect.
  • composition may optionally and/or totally contain sugar, Ostrea gigas extract or Amomum villosum extract.
  • Ostrea gigas extract which functions as an antacid to protect against intestinal brash owing to acid indigestion can be obtained by heating oyster shells.
  • Ostrea gigas extract may be on a market or directly obtained from oyster shells by the processes of extracting, filtering and drying Known m the art .
  • Amomum villosum extract from a ginger geneic nut which functions as a constipant to prevent diarrhea and effects to remove intestinal gas may be on a market or directly obtained by the known methods of extracting, filtering and drying it.

  • the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may be manufactured by 0.01-10.0 wt% Ginkgo biloba extract and 0.01-10 wt% taurine per each tablet together with other conventional additives such as diluent, binder, etc. by conventional pharmaceutical preparation.
  • the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may be manufactured to be in a granular form preparation.
  • compositions according to the present invention significantly reduce the concentration of aldehyde in blood compared to that of alcohol-treated group and prevent oxidative damage of bram cells.
  • compositions according to the present invention protect bram cells from oxidative damage as well as help m the recovery from a hangover.

  • Example 4 Tablets according to the composition of the invention are prepared by conventional pharmaceutical preparation methods with the following ingredients:
  • Example 5 The reduction of acetaldehyde concentration in blood by taurine
  • Oxidation damage of bram tissue was measured in rats 8 hours after oral administration of 2 ml of 25% ethanol at intervals of 30 minutes. 1 hour before sacrificing the animals, a 15mg/kg body weight dosage of taurine and 1.5mg/kg body weight of Ginkgo biloba extract was administered. Also, damage of brain tissue by oxidative stress was measured in a control group by sacrificing rats 30 minutes after oral administration of 2 ml of 10% acetaldehyde. Each group comprised 4 to 6 rats and the brain tissue of the sacrificed rats was preserved in liquid nitrogen. Within 3 days after sacrificing the rats, lg of brain tissue was sampled and homogenized in 3 m of 1.15% KCl buffer. Homogenized samples were centrifuged for 10 min.
  • Fig. 1 shows that acetaldehyde concentration in the blood for the taurine-treated group is 0.0013% whereas that for the acetaldehyde-control group is 0.012%. Therefore, acetaldehyde concentration in the blood was lowered ten times by administering taurine.
