フコィダン由来オリゴ糖  Fucoidan-derived oligosaccharides
技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は免疫力の増強、免疫機能の調節などを目的とした飲食品、健康食品、機 能性食品、医薬品、化粧品等に利用可能な新規ィ匕合物およびそれを含む組成物に 関する。  [0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound which can be used for foods and drinks, health foods, functional foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and the like for the purpose of enhancing immunity and regulating immune function, and a composition comprising the same Related to
背景技術  Background art
[0002] フコィダンは藻類に含まれる硫酸ィヒ多糖であり、抗血液凝固作用、脂血清澄作用( 血液中のコレステロールや過酸ィ匕脂質を除去する作用)、抗腫瘍作用、癌転移抑制 作用、抗エイズウイルス感染作用等の様々な活性を有することが報告されている。中 でも、生体の免疫機能を正常化する作用が注目されており、免疫機能調節作用を有 する飲食品や医薬品の素材として有用であると考えられている。  [0002] Fucoidan is a sulfite polysaccharide contained in algae, which has anti-blood coagulation, fat serum clarification (removing cholesterol and peracid lipids in blood), anti-tumor, and cancer metastasis It has been reported that it has various activities such as anti-AIDS virus infection. Among them, the action of normalizing the immune function of the living body is attracting attention, and it is considered useful as a material for foods and drinks and pharmaceuticals having the function of regulating the immune function.
[0003] 一方、フコィダンの構造は、由来となる藻類やその生育環境などにより異なることが 知られている。その理由の一つは、フコィダンの構成成分であるフコース、ガラクトー ス、キシロース、グルクロン酸等の組成力 藻類やその生育環境によって変動するた めである。また、それら構成糖上のエステル結合およびダルコシド結合の位置が変動 し得ることも、フコィダン構造の多様性に寄与している。そのため、未だに多くのフコィ ダンの構造が特定されて!ヽな ヽ。  [0003] On the other hand, the structure of fucoidan is known to vary depending on the algae from which it is derived and its growth environment. One reason for this is that it varies depending on the compositional algae such as fucose, galactose, xylose, and glucuronic acid, which are constituents of fucoidan, and their growth environment. In addition, the fact that the positions of ester bonds and dalcoside bonds on these constituent sugars can be varied contributes to the diversity of fucoidan structures. Therefore, many fucoidan structures have been identified!ヽ ヽ.
[0004] これらの理由により、フコィダンを利用して飲食品や医薬品などを開発する場合に は、それらに適切なフコィダンを選定するのに多大な時間を要することが多力つた。 また、消費者にとっても、どのフコィダンを選べばよいのか明確ではな力つた。さらに 、フコィダンは分子量が極めて大きい硫酸ィ匕多糖であり、このためそのまま飲食品や 医薬品として用いる際には、吸収性、抗原性、均一性、抗凝血活性等に関する問題 がある。  [0004] For these reasons, when developing foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc. using fucoidan, it often takes a lot of time to select an appropriate fucoidan. It was also clear for consumers which fucoidan to choose. Furthermore, fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide having a very large molecular weight, and therefore, there are problems relating to absorbability, antigenicity, homogeneity, anticoagulant activity and the like when used as it is as a food or drink.
[0005] これらの問題を解決するために、特定された構造と機能を有する低分子のフコイダ ン由来オリゴ糖が望まれる。  [0005] In order to solve these problems, a low-molecular fucoidan-derived oligosaccharide having a specified structure and function is desired.
[0006] これまでに、化学合成によるフコース含有オリゴ糖が報告されているが(非特許文献 1、 2および 3)、これらは有機合成反応により調製されているため食品などに使用す るのは好ましくなかった。 [0006] So far, fucose-containing oligosaccharides by chemical synthesis have been reported (non-patent literature). 1, 2 and 3), which are prepared by organic synthesis reactions, are not preferred for use in foods.
[0007] 一方、フコィダンを加水分解してフコィダンを低分子化する方法も報告されている。 [0007] On the other hand, a method for hydrolyzing fucoidan to lower the molecular weight of fucoidan has also been reported.
例えば、特許文献 1には、フコィダンを酸加水分解する方法が開示されており、得ら れた低分子フコィダンは、 5 X 103以下の分子量分布を有していたことが記載されて いる。また、特許文献 2には、酸を外部力も添加することなくフコィダンを加水分解し てオリゴ糖を得る方法が記載されている。また、特許文献 3のように酵素によりフコィ ダンを加水分解する方法も報告されて!ヽる。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for acid hydrolysis of fucoidan, and describes that the obtained low-molecular fucoidan has a molecular weight distribution of 5 × 10 3 or less. Patent Document 2 describes a method of hydrolyzing fucoidan to obtain an oligosaccharide without adding an acid or external force. A method of hydrolyzing fucoidan with an enzyme as described in Patent Document 3 has also been reported! Speak.
[0008] また、フコィダンの加水分解により得られ、構造が決定されたオリゴ糖カ^、くつか報 告されている。例えば、特許文献 4においては、モズク等の藻類カゝら得たフコィダンを 酸加水分解してオリゴ糖を製造したことが報告されており、数種の低分子フコィダン 由来オリゴ糖の構造が特定されている。また、特許文献 5および 6においては、フコィ ダンを酵素的に加水分解して得たオリゴ糖の構造が開示されている。 [0008] Further, some oligosaccharides obtained by hydrolysis of fucoidan and whose structure has been determined have been reported. For example, Patent Document 4 reports that an oligosaccharide was produced by acid hydrolysis of fucoidan obtained from algae such as mozuku, and the structures of several low-molecular fucoidan-derived oligosaccharides were identified. ing. Patent Documents 5 and 6 disclose the structures of oligosaccharides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of fucoidan.

It is hard to say that it is not safe. Further, the oligosaccharide described in Patent Document 5 has a problem that the molecular weight is large, and the production method described in Patent Document 6 has a problem that the operation is complicated.
[0011] そこで、様々な用途に用いることができる素材として、上記のように、特定された構 造を有し、簡便かつ正確に品質管理できるフコィダン由来オリゴ糖を開発することが 望まれている。また、飲食品や医薬品における用途を考慮すると、低分子で扱いや すくまた簡便に製造できるものであること、さらには安全性が高いものであることが必 要とされる。  [0011] Therefore, as a material that can be used in various applications, it is desired to develop fucoidan-derived oligosaccharides having the specified structure as described above and capable of quality control simply and accurately. . In addition, considering applications in foods and beverages and pharmaceuticals, it is necessary that they are easy to handle with small molecules and can be easily manufactured, and that they are highly safe.
そこで、本発明の目的は、構造が特定された新規なフコィダン由来オリゴ糖を提供 することである。  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel fucoidan-derived oligosaccharide having a specified structure.
[0012] また、本発明の別の目的は、安全性が高ぐ生体の免疫機能を正常化するのに寄 与するフコィダン由来オリゴ糖を提供することである。なお、ここでいう免疫機能の正 常化とは、例えばプレバイオテイクスとして知られているキシロオリゴ糖のように腸内細 菌叢を改善して間接的に免疫機能を整えるものではなぐいくつかのフコィダンで示 されているように直接的に免疫担当細胞を活性ィ匕するものを指す。  [0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a fucoidan-derived oligosaccharide that contributes to normalizing immune functions of a living body with high safety. The normalization of immune function as used herein refers to some of the functions that improve the gut microbiota and indirectly improve immune function, such as xylooligosaccharides known as prebiotics. As indicated by fucoidan, it directly activates immunocompetent cells.
[0013] 本発明のさらなる目的は、効果量を的確に飲食品、医薬組成物等に添加すること ができるフコィダン由来オリゴ糖を提供することである。  [0013] A further object of the present invention is to provide a fucoidan-derived oligosaccharide that can be accurately added in an effective amount to foods and drinks, pharmaceutical compositions, and the like.
[0014] 本発明のさらなる目的は、煩雑な工程を必要とせずに当該オリゴ糖を提供すること でもある。  [0014] A further object of the present invention is to provide the oligosaccharide without requiring complicated steps.

More preferably, about 1 hour at 90-100 ° C Extract between. The algae extract thus obtained can be cooled, suction filtered, desalted and dried to obtain a fucoidan fraction that is easily dissolved in water. The fucoidan fraction thus obtained may be used in the next step without further purification, or may be used after further purification.

The compound according to the present invention can be obtained by subjecting fucoidan or algae containing it to the subsequent hydrolysis step.
[0048] フコィダンオリゴ糖混合物の製造方法  [0048] Method for producing fucoidan oligosaccharide mixture
本発明のフコィダンオリゴ糖を製造するには、先ず、特許文献 1〜3に記載されてい るように、フコィダンを酸や酵素を用いる方法により加水分解することにより、フコイダ ンオリゴ糖の混合物を得る。好ましくは、以下の様な酸加水分解条件を用いる。  In order to produce the fucoidan oligosaccharide of the present invention, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, first, a fucoidan oligosaccharide mixture is obtained by hydrolyzing fucoidan by a method using an acid or an enzyme. Preferably, the following acid hydrolysis conditions are used.
[0049] 即ち、上記のようにして藻類力 得られたフコィダンを含む画分またはフコィダンを 、酸、好ましくは塩酸を用い分解する。より具体的には、 0. 1〜5. ON、好ましくは 0. 5〜4.0N、さらに好ましくは 0.5〜3.0Nの HC1を含む、 25〜100°C、好ましくは 30〜 95°C、さらに好ましくは 50〜90°Cの水性溶媒中で、 0.1〜3時間、好ましくは 0.25〜 2.5時間、さらに好ましくは 0.5〜2時間加水分解を行なう。得られた反応物を塩基、 例えば約 1Nの NaOHで中和した後、電気透析もしくはゲル濾過等の適切な手段で 脱塩し、乾燥 (例えば、凍結乾燥)することにより、フコィダンオリゴ糖混合物を得るこ とがでさる。  That is, the fraction or fucoidan containing fucoidan obtained as described above by algal power is decomposed using an acid, preferably hydrochloric acid. More specifically, 0.1 to 5. ON, preferably 0.5 to 4.0 N, more preferably 0.5 to 3.0 N containing HC1, 25 to 100 ° C, preferably 30 to 95 ° C, Preferably, the hydrolysis is carried out in an aqueous solvent at 50 to 90 ° C. for 0.1 to 3 hours, preferably 0.25 to 2.5 hours, more preferably 0.5 to 2 hours. The obtained reaction product is neutralized with a base such as about 1N NaOH, desalted by an appropriate means such as electrodialysis or gel filtration, and dried (for example, freeze-dried) to obtain a fucoidan oligosaccharide mixture. This comes out.
[0050] オリゴ糖の精製  [0050] Purification of oligosaccharide
このようにして得られる混合物力もフコィダンオリゴ糖をさらに精製するためには、ク 口マトグラフィー、再結晶、透析、アルコール沈殿等の方法を単独で、または組み合 わせて用いることができる。例えば、以下の操作に従ってオリゴ糖を精製する。  In order to further purify the fucoidan oligosaccharide, the mixture force obtained in this way can be used alone or in combination with methods such as chromatography, recrystallization, dialysis, and alcohol precipitation. For example, the oligosaccharide is purified according to the following procedure.
[0051] 先ず、フコィダンの加水分解により得られたオリゴ糖混合物を陰イオン交換榭脂を 用いたクロマトグラフィーに付して、吸着されずに通過する、硫酸基を含まないオリゴ 糖を含有する画分(中性 ·酸性糖画分)と、酸性溶出液により溶出する、硫酸基を多く 含むオリゴ糖を含有する画分 (硫酸化糖画分)とを分離する。  [0051] First, an oligosaccharide mixture obtained by hydrolysis of fucoidan is subjected to chromatography using anion exchange resin, and is passed through without adsorption and contains an oligosaccharide containing no sulfate group. The fraction (neutral / acidic sugar fraction) is separated from the fraction containing sulfated oligosaccharides (sulfated sugar fraction) that are eluted by the acidic eluate.
[0052] 中性 ·酸性糖画分をさらにゲル濾過に付すことにより、式 (I)で表される二糖と式 (II) で表される三糖を得ることができる。 [0052] By subjecting the neutral and acidic sugar fraction to gel filtration, the disaccharide represented by the formula (I) and the formula (II) Can be obtained.
[0053] 一方、硫酸ィ匕糖画分をクロマトグラフィーに付すことにより、硫酸ィ匕オリゴ糖 (III) 〜 (XI)の各成分を単離することができる。  [0053] On the other hand, each component of sulfated oligosaccharides (III) to (XI) can be isolated by subjecting the sulfated sucrose fraction to chromatography.
[0054] 各オリゴ糖は、精製、構造解析をより容易にするために適宜標識化または誘導体化 してもよい。例えば、オリゴ糖は、 4—ァミノ安息香酸ェチル (ABEE)のような試薬で 蛍光標識ィ匕することができ、これによりオリゴ糖の検出が容易となる。標識化された各 オリゴ糖を分離した後にその標識ィ匕部分を除去することにより、純粋なオリゴ糖を取 得することができる。  [0054] Each oligosaccharide may be appropriately labeled or derivatized for easier purification and structural analysis. For example, oligosaccharides can be fluorescently labeled with a reagent such as 4-amino benzoate (ABEE), which facilitates oligosaccharide detection. Pure oligosaccharides can be obtained by separating each labeled oligosaccharide and then removing the labeled portion.
[0055] こうして得られるフコィダンオリゴ糖は、例えば飲食品、医薬品、化粧品等に用いて 、これらに免疫機能調節作用を付与することができる。  [0055] The fucoidan oligosaccharide thus obtained can be used for, for example, foods and drinks, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and the like to impart an immune function-modulating action thereto.

C57BLZ6マウス(8週齢、雄、 日本チャールズリバ一株式会社)力 脾細胞を分離 し、 5 X 106cells/mlになるように調製し、 24wellプレートで培養した。化合物(1)、 (I I)のフコィダンオリゴ糖を 100 g/mlになるように各 wellに添加した。比較対照とし てフコースと硫酸化フコース (それぞれ MW164、 244)、キシロオリゴ糖 (XOS)を等 量用いた。 24時間培養後、培養上清を回収し IFN— γの産生量を ELISAキット(Ο ptEIA、 BD Pharmingen)を用いて測定した(図 29)。化合物(II)に強 、IFN— y 誘導作用が見られた。 C57BLZ6 mice (8 weeks old, male, Nippon Charles River Co., Ltd.) force Spleen cells were isolated, prepared to 5 × 10 6 cells / ml, and cultured in 24-well plates. The fucoidan oligosaccharides of compounds (1) and (II) were added to each well so as to be 100 g / ml. As comparative controls, fucose, sulfated fucose (MW164 and 244, respectively) and xylooligosaccharide (XOS) were used in equal amounts. After culturing for 24 hours, the culture supernatant was collected, and the amount of IFN-γ produced was measured using an ELISA kit (ΟptEIA, BD Pharmingen) (FIG. 29). Compound (II) exhibited a strong IFN-y inducing action.
[0085] さらに、オリゴ糖を添加して 30分後に、乳酸菌(Lactobacillus pentosus: FERM A BP- 10028) (死菌)を 0. 1 gZmlずつ各 wellに添カ卩して上記と同様の操作も行つ た。化合物 (I)に関しては、それを乳酸菌と併用すると著しく強い IFN— γ誘導能が 得られた。この作用は、化合物 (I)と乳酸菌をそれぞれ単独で用いて得られた結果( 図 29中、左力 2番目および右力 3番目)から予測できない程強ぐ両者を組み合 わせて用いることにより相乗的効果が生じることを裏付けて 、る。構成成分のフコース や硫酸ィ匕フコースにはこのような活性が無ぐプレバイオテイクスとして広く使われて いるキシロオリゴ糖にもこのような作用が無力つた。  [0085] Furthermore, 30 minutes after adding the oligosaccharide, lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus pentosus: FERM A BP-10028) (dead bacteria) were added to each well in an amount of 0.1 gZml. I went. With regard to compound (I), when it was used in combination with lactic acid bacteria, a remarkably strong IFN-γ induction ability was obtained. This effect can be achieved by using a combination of both compounds (I) and lactic acid bacteria that are so strong that they cannot be predicted from the results obtained by using the lactic acid bacteria alone (second left force and third right force in Fig. 29). Supports synergistic effects. Such an action is also ineffective in xylo-oligosaccharides widely used as prebiotics, which have no such activity in the constituent components fucose and sulfated fucose.
[0086] したがって、化合物(I)、化合物(II)のフコィダンオリゴ糖には脾細胞を活性ィ匕させ る機能があり、生体の免疫機能を調節できる。  Therefore, the fucoidan oligosaccharides of compound (I) and compound (II) have a function of activating splenocytes and can regulate the immune function of the living body.
[0087] また、同様に調製した脾細胞に、化合物 (I)〜 (VII)の化合物を任意に 3種類均等 に混合したものを 50 μ gZmlの濃度で添加し、 30分後に乳酸菌 (Lactobacillus pent osus ;FERM ABP- 10028) (死菌)を 0. 1 gZmlずつ各 wellに添カ卩した。 24時 間培養後、培養上清を回収し IFN— yの産生量を測定した(図 30)。図に示すとおり 、 (V)、 (VI)および (VII)の混合物、 (I)、 (V)および (VI)の混合物、および (I)、 (V)お よび (VII)の混合物を用いると、高い IFN— γ産生量が観測された。したがって、化 合物 (I)〜 (XI)が混在して ヽて ヽる場合でも乳酸菌と併用することで免疫機能調節 活性が上昇することがわ力つた。  [0087] In addition, to the spleen cells prepared in the same manner, an arbitrary mixture of three types of compounds (I) to (VII) was added at a concentration of 50 μgZml, and after 30 minutes, lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus pent osus; FERM ABP-10028) (dead bacteria) was added to each well in an amount of 0.1 gZml. After 24 hours of culture, the culture supernatant was collected and the amount of IFN-y produced was measured (FIG. 30). As shown in the figure, use a mixture of (V), (VI) and (VII), a mixture of (I), (V) and (VI), and a mixture of (I), (V) and (VII) And high IFN-γ production was observed. Therefore, even when the compounds (I) to (XI) were mixed together, the combined use with lactic acid bacteria increased the immune function regulating activity.

On the 3rd and 5th days from the start of the culture, the medium was changed to obtain adherent immature rod-like cells. Compounds (1), (11), (111), (V), (VI), and (VII) were each added to the obtained rod-shaped cells at a concentration of 50 gZml (pretreatment). After culturing for 2 days, the culture supernatant and cells were collected. In addition, 30 minutes after the pretreatment, lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus pentosus: FERM ABP-10028) (dead bacteria)) were added to each well in an amount of 0.1 μg Zml, and the same operation as described above was performed.
[0089] 回収した培養上清は ELISAキットを用いて IL— 12と IL— 10を測定した。結果をそ れぞれ図 31、 32に示した。化合物(11)、(111)、および (VI)は、単独で IL— 12誘導能 を示した。化合物 (I)は、それを乳酸菌と併用することで相乗的に IL— 12を誘導した (図 31)。また、化合物 (11)、(III)および (V)は乳酸菌と併用することで IL— 10を誘導 した(図 32)。これらのことにより、本発明で見つかったフコィダンオリゴ糖には生体の 免疫系を正にも負にも調節 (低下した免疫を活性ィ匕し、または過剰な免疫反応を抑 制する)する機能があることが分力つた。キシロオリゴ糖には、このような作用は認めら れなかった。  [0089] The collected culture supernatant was measured for IL-12 and IL-10 using an ELISA kit. The results are shown in Figs. 31 and 32, respectively. Compounds (11), (111), and (VI) alone showed IL-12 induction ability. Compound (I) induced IL-12 synergistically when used in combination with lactic acid bacteria (FIG. 31). Compounds (11), (III) and (V) induced IL-10 when used in combination with lactic acid bacteria (Fig. 32). For these reasons, the fucoidan oligosaccharides found in the present invention have a function of regulating the immune system of the living body positively or negatively (activate reduced immunity or suppress excessive immune responses). I was divided. Xylooligosaccharides did not show this effect.
[0090] 回収した細胞の表面の成熟化マーカーである CD86の陽性率をフローサイトメトリ 一 (EPICS XL、ベックマンコールター株式会社製)を用いて解析した。その結果、 フコィダンオリゴ糖には単独で榭状細胞を成熟化させる作用があることが確認できた [0090] The positive rate of CD86, a maturation marker on the surface of the collected cells, was analyzed using flow cytometry (EPICS XL, manufactured by Beckman Coulter, Inc.). As a result, it was confirmed that fucoidan oligosaccharides have the effect of maturating rod cells alone.

[0091] さらに、回収した細胞をカウントし、 1 X 105cellsZmlに調製後、 1mlの細胞懸濁液 中にマイトマイシン C (50 gZml)を処理し、 37°Cで 30分間反応させた。反応終了 後、 PBSの洗浄によりマイトマイシン Cを除去し、常法により調製した C57BL/6マウ スの脾細胞(5 X 106cells/ml)を lml添加し、 4日間混合培養した。培養後細胞を 回収し、 C57BLZ6マウスのァロ抗原を持つ P— 815細胞(SOOOcellsZlOO /z l)を ターゲットにし、 E :T比 40 : 1および 80 : 1の割合で 4時間反応させ、殺傷された P— 8 15の数をフローサイトメトリーでカウントすることにより CTL活性を求めた(図 34)。化 合物(11)、(VI)、(VII)は単独で CTL活性を高める作用があることを確認した。また、 化合物 (111)、(V)、(VI)、(VII)は乳酸菌と併用することで CTL活性が増強されること も分かった。 [0091] Further, the collected cells were counted and prepared to 1 X 10 5 cells Zml, and then 1 ml of cell suspension was treated with mitomycin C (50 gZml) and reacted at 37 ° C for 30 minutes. After completion of the reaction, mitomycin C was removed by washing with PBS, and 1 ml of C57BL / 6 mouse spleen cells (5 × 10 6 cells / ml) prepared by a conventional method was added and mixed and cultured for 4 days. After culturing the cells Targeted P-815 cells (SOOOcellsZlOO / zl) with the C57BLZ6 mouse alloantigen and killed by reacting for 4 hours at an E: T ratio of 40: 1 and 80: 1. P— 8 15 CTL activity was determined by counting the number of cells by flow cytometry (FIG. 34). It was confirmed that the compounds (11), (VI), and (VII) alone have the effect of increasing CTL activity. It was also found that compounds (111), (V), (VI), and (VII) enhance CTL activity when used in combination with lactic acid bacteria.
