Description

酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムによるS-アデノシルメチオニンの安定化Stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine by acidic sodium metaphosphate
 本発明は、酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムによるS-アデノシルメチオニンの安定化に関する。本発明は特に、S-アデノシルメチオニンと酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムとを含む飲食用組成物に関する。本発明はまた、安定化されたS-アデノシルメチオニンの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine with acidic sodium metaphosphate. The present invention particularly relates to a edible composition comprising S-adenosylmethionine and acidic sodium metaphosphate. The invention also relates to a process for the production of stabilized S-adenosylmethionine.
 S-アデノシルメチオニンは生体組織全体に存在し、ホルモン、神経伝達物質、リン脂質、およびタンパク質の合成および代謝における、メチル基供与体または酵素活性化因子として、数多くの生物反応に関与する生理学的化合物である。S-アデノシルメチオニンは、メチル基転移、硫黄基転移、およびアミノプロピル基転移の3つの代謝経路により代謝される。 S-adenosylmethionine is present throughout the body and is a physiologically involved in many biological reactions as a methyl group donor or enzyme activator in the synthesis and metabolism of hormones, neurotransmitters, phospholipids, and proteins. A compound. S-adenosylmethionine is metabolized by three metabolic pathways: methyl group transfer, sulfur group transfer, and aminopropyl group transfer.
 S-アデノシルメチオニンは、肝硬変などの肝障害、鬱病、関節炎、骨関節症、軟骨保護、アルツハイマー病、HIV感染による末梢神経障害または脊髄症等に対して、有用な効果を有することが報告されている。 S-adenosylmethionine has been reported to have useful effects on liver disorders such as cirrhosis, depression, arthritis, osteoarthritis, cartilage protection, Alzheimer's disease, peripheral neuropathy caused by HIV infection, or myelopathy. ing.
 しかしながら、S-アデノシルメチオニンは化学的に不安定な物質であり、常温においても急速に分解が進むため、医薬品やサプリメントとして使用する際の大きな障害となっている。これまでに、ポリアニオン(例えば、ヘキサメタリン酸ナトリウム)による安定化(特許文献1)、リン酸化合物による安定化(特許文献2)、硫酸塩やp-トルエンスルホン酸塩などのS-アデノシルメチオニン塩をアルコール溶媒中に懸濁することによる安定化(特許文献3)、および、有機カルボン酸および/またはキレート形成能を有する化合物による安定化(特許文献4)、フィチン酸およびシクロデキストリンによる安定化(特許文献5)などが報告されている。 However, since S-adenosylmethionine is a chemically unstable substance and rapidly decomposes even at room temperature, it is a major obstacle when used as a pharmaceutical or a supplement. Up to now, stabilization with polyanions (for example, sodium hexametaphosphate) (Patent Document 1), stabilization with phosphate compounds (Patent Document 2), S-adenosylmethionine salts such as sulfate and p-toluenesulfonate Is suspended in an alcohol solvent (Patent Document 3), and is stabilized by an organic carboxylic acid and / or a compound having a chelate-forming ability (Patent Document 4), stabilized by phytic acid and cyclodextrin ( Patent document 5) has been reported.

 本発明者らは、酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムを用いることにより、従来知られていたメタリン酸ナトリウムによる安定化と比べて、S-アデノシルメチオニンの顕著な安定化が達成されることを予想外に発見し、本発明を完成させた。酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムを用いることによってメタリン酸ナトリウムを用いる場合と比較してS-アデノシルメチオニンの優れた安定化が達成されることは従来知られていなかった。さらに、以下の実施例1および2に記載されるように、酸性条件下でメタリン酸ナトリウムをS-アデノシルメチオニンの安定化に用いた場合には、顕著な安定化効果は見られなかった。これらのことを考慮すると、メタリン酸ナトリウムの代わりに酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムを用いることにより顕著な安定化効果が得られることは予想外である。 The inventors have unexpectedly discovered that by using acidic sodium metaphosphate, significant stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine can be achieved compared to the previously known stabilization by sodium metaphosphate. The present invention has been completed. It has not been known in the past that superior stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine is achieved by using acidic sodium metaphosphate compared to using sodium metaphosphate. Furthermore, as described in Examples 1 and 2 below, when sodium metaphosphate was used for stabilizing S-adenosylmethionine under acidic conditions, no significant stabilizing effect was observed. Considering these facts, it is unexpected that a remarkable stabilization effect can be obtained by using acidic sodium metaphosphate instead of sodium metaphosphate.

In the case where acidic sodium metaphosphate is used, it has not been conventionally known that excellent stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine is achieved as compared with the case where sodium metaphosphate is used. Furthermore, as described in Examples 1 and 2 below, when sodium metaphosphate was used for stabilizing S-adenosylmethionine under acidic conditions, no significant stabilizing effect was observed. Considering these facts, it is unexpected that a remarkable stabilization effect can be obtained by using acidic sodium metaphosphate instead of sodium metaphosphate.

 メタリン酸ナトリウムは、リン酸(例えば、P)とアルカリ(例えば、苛性ソーダまたは炭酸ソーダ)との当モル反応生成物を高温で熔融し、脱水縮合させて得られる縮合リン酸塩の総称であり、分子構造的には、単一物でなく、環状体や長鎖の鎖状構造を含む中性の縮合リン酸塩の混合物である。
(Acid sodium metaphosphate)
Sodium metaphosphate is a general term for a condensed phosphate obtained by melting an equimolar reaction product of phosphoric acid (for example, P 2 O 5 ) and an alkali (for example, caustic soda or sodium carbonate) at a high temperature and subjecting it to dehydration condensation. In terms of molecular structure, it is not a single substance but a mixture of neutral condensed phosphates containing cyclic structures and long-chain structures.
 これに対して、酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムは、リン酸(例えば、P)と当モル未満のアルカリ(例えば、苛性ソーダまたは炭酸ソーダ)との反応生成物を熔融し、脱水縮合して得られる高分子の酸性縮合リン酸塩混合物であり、原料のモル比、反応温度等の製造条件により、異なる組成のものが得られるが、分子構造的には、環状体、鎖状体の他、中性のメタリン酸塩にはみられない網状体を含む点に特徴がある。 In contrast, acidic sodium metaphosphate is obtained by melting a reaction product of phosphoric acid (for example, P 2 O 5 ) and less than an equivalent amount of alkali (for example, caustic soda or sodium carbonate) and dehydrating and condensing it. It is a mixture of acidic condensed phosphates of macromolecules, and different compositions can be obtained depending on the production conditions such as the molar ratio of raw materials and reaction temperature. It is characterized in that it contains a network that is not found in sex metaphosphate.
 上記メタリン酸ナトリウムと酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムとは、リン酸(例えば、P)とアルカリ(例えば、苛性ソーダまたは炭酸ソーダ)との仕込比率を変更することによって、いずれも製造することができ、そのような製造方法は当業者には周知である。
メタリン酸ナトリウムおよび酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムは、いずれも、保水剤または金属イオン封鎖剤として使用される食品添加物である。最終製品をより酸性にしたい場合に酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムが使用されることが多いが、他に用途および効果においてこれら2つの添加物における差異は知られていなかった。
Both the sodium metaphosphate and acidic sodium metaphosphate can be produced by changing the charging ratio of phosphoric acid (for example, P 2 O 5 ) and alkali (for example, caustic soda or sodium carbonate), Such manufacturing methods are well known to those skilled in the art.
Both sodium metaphosphate and acidic sodium metaphosphate are food additives used as water retention agents or sequestering agents. Acidic sodium metaphosphate is often used when it is desired to make the final product more acidic, but no other difference in use and effectiveness in these two additives has been known.

The culture was centrifuged (8,000 rpm), the supernatant was removed, and the cells were collected. An appropriate amount of the supernatant liquid removed from the recovered cells was added to prepare a cell concentrate. The concentration of S-adenosylmethionine in the concentrate was measured and sodium pyrophosphate (Na 4 P 2 O 7 : tetrasodium pyrophosphate (crystal / anhydrous) manufactured by Taiyo Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), polyphosphorus Sodium phosphate (Na 5 P 3 O 10 : sodium tripolyphosphate manufactured by Taiyo Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and sodium metaphosphate ((NaPO 3 ) n : Taiyo Chemical Co., Ltd.

Lyophilization was performed for 72 hours to prepare yeast powder. The yeast powder was packed in an aluminum pouch and stored in an acceleration tester (Advantec, model THE051FA) (40 ° C., humidity 75%). One day storage of the accelerated testing machine under these conditions corresponds to six days of room temperature storage. Yeast powder was sampled regularly and S-adenosylmethionine was extracted using perchloric acid. Specifically, 1 mL of 10% perchloric acid was added to 0.02 g of yeast powder, extraction was performed for 1 hour, and the supernatant (extract) was collected by centrifugation (10,000 rpm, 10 minutes). For the measurement of S-adenosylmethionine, UPLC (Waters, model TUV) was used, and the extract was analyzed by a gradient of 0.1% formic acid + 5 mM sodium nonanesulfonate and acetonitrile. The column used was UK-C18 (Intact Corporation (Tokyo, Japan); 4.6 × 250 mm, 3 μm). The results are shown in Table 1 below. Note that the results are shown as relative values, with the value at the time of preparation of each sample being 100%.

 表1に示されるように、安定化剤無添加のS-アデノシルメチオニンと比較して、安定化剤としてピロリン酸ナトリウム、ポリリン酸ナトリウムまたはメタリン酸ナトリウムを添加したS-アデノシルメチオニンにおいては、ある程度の安定性の向上が観察された。しかしながら、この安定性の向上では不十分であると考えられるため、さらなる効率的な安定化法を検討した。 As shown in Table 1, compared to S-adenosylmethionine without addition of a stabilizer, in S-adenosylmethionine to which sodium pyrophosphate, sodium polyphosphate or sodium metaphosphate was added as a stabilizer, Some improvement in stability was observed. However, since this improvement in stability is considered insufficient, a more efficient stabilization method was investigated.

In order to examine the effect of pH on the stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine, stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine with sodium pyrophosphate, sodium polyphosphate, or sodium metaphosphate was carried out under acidic conditions. We verified the degree of. The acid treatment was performed by adding various phosphoric acid compounds in 4 times the amount of S-adenosylmethionine and then adjusting the pH to 1 with 78% sulfuric acid.

 表1および表2の結果を、図1にまとめる。 The results of Table 1 and Table 2 are summarized in FIG.
 以上の結果より、ピロリン酸ナトリウム、ポリリン酸ナトリウムおよびメタリン酸ナトリウムによって、無添加と比較すると一定の安定化効果が得られるが、それらは不十分であること、および酸性条件下でこれらの物質による安定化を行っても有意な安定性向上は観察されないことが実証された。 From the above results, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium polyphosphate, and sodium metaphosphate provide a certain stabilizing effect compared to no addition, but they are insufficient and due to these substances under acidic conditions It was demonstrated that no significant improvement in stability was observed with stabilization.

The culture was centrifuged (8,000 rpm), the supernatant was removed, and the cells were collected. An appropriate amount of the supernatant liquid removed from the recovered cells was added to prepare a cell concentrate. The concentration of S-adenosylmethionine in the concentrate was measured, and sodium acid metaphosphate ({Na x H y (PO 3 ) x + y } n (acid sodium hexametaphosphate manufactured by Rin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Toyama, Japan)) , S-adenosylmethionine 2.5 times, 5 times, 7.5 times, and 10 times the amount were added to the cell concentrate.

 驚くべきことに、酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムによって、S-アデノシルメチオニンの予想外に顕著な安定化が達成された。この安定化効果は、試験した2.5倍量~10倍量の全ての濃度において観察され、2.5倍量~7.5倍量の濃度においてより安定化が達成され、特に5倍量~7.5倍量の濃度において顕著な安定化が達成された。メタリン酸ナトリウムの添加、または酸性条件下でのメタリン酸ナトリウムの添加によっては顕著な安定化が達成されなかったことを示した実施例1の結果に鑑みると、表3において実証された酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムによるS-アデノシルメチオニンの顕著な安定化は全く予想外である。 Surprisingly, unexpectedly significant stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine was achieved with acidic sodium metaphosphate. This stabilizing effect is observed at all concentrations of 2.5 to 10 times tested, and more stabilization is achieved at concentrations of 2.5 to 7.5 times, especially 5 times. Significant stabilization was achieved at concentrations up to 7.5 times. In view of the results of Example 1 which showed that no significant stabilization was achieved by the addition of sodium metaphosphate or by addition of sodium metaphosphate under acidic conditions, the acidic metaphosphate demonstrated in Table 3 The remarkable stabilization of S-adenosylmethionine by sodium is totally unexpected.
 また、上記条件での加速試験機1日の保管は、常温保管の6日に相当することから、表3の結果より、酸性メタリン酸ナトリウムを添加したS-アデノシルメチオニンを常温保管した場合、約1年経過後においても約75~90%程度が安定のまま残存することが分かる。これは、S-アデノシルメチオニンの飲食用、栄養補助用、医薬用、生薬用又は獣医学用への応用において有用である。 In addition, storage of the accelerated test machine for 1 day under the above conditions corresponds to 6 days of storage at room temperature. From the results in Table 3, when S-adenosylmethionine added with sodium acid metaphosphate was stored at room temperature, It can be seen that about 75 to 90% remains stable even after about one year. This is useful in the application of S-adenosylmethionine to food and drink, nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical, herbal medicine or veterinary medicine.
