Description

ターメロンを有効成分とするβ‐セクレターゼ阻害剤、並びに該阻害剤を含む医薬製剤及び飲食品‐-Secretase inhibitor comprising termelon as an active ingredient, and pharmaceutical preparations and food and drink containing the inhibitor
 本発明は、ターメリック(Curcuma longa)の根茎由来の化合物を有効成分として含有するβ‐セクレターゼ阻害剤、並びに該阻害剤を含む医薬製剤及び飲食品に関する。 The present invention relates to a β-secretase inhibitor containing a rhizome-derived compound of turmeric (Curcuma longa) as an active ingredient, and a pharmaceutical preparation and food and drink containing the inhibitor.
 近年の急速な高齢化社会の到来に伴い、老人性痴呆症は、医学的、社会的にも重大な問題となっており、それにより有効な抗認知症治療薬の開発だけではなく、老人性痴呆症を効果的に予防できる薬の開発が強く望まれている。老人性痴呆症の代表的な疾患であるアルツハイマー型痴呆症(アルツハイマー病)は、脳の萎縮、老人班の沈着及び神経原繊維の形成を特徴とする変性疾患で、神経細胞の脱落によって痴呆症状が引き起こされると考えられている(非特許文献1)。 With the advent of the rapidly aging society in recent years, senile dementia has become a serious medical and social problem, and it is not only the development of effective anti-dementia drugs, but also senile disease. There is a strong demand for the development of drugs that can effectively prevent dementia. Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's disease), a typical disease of senile dementia, is a degenerative disease characterized by brain atrophy, deposition of senile plaques, and formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Dementia symptoms are caused by neuronal loss. Is considered to be caused (Non-Patent Document 1).
 アルツハイマー型痴呆症の原因について未だ定説はないが、病理組織学的研究により、老人班が沈着しそれにより神経細胞が脱落し脳の萎縮が生じると考えられている。老人班の主成分であるβ‐アミロイドは細胞毒性作用を有しており、アルツハイマー型痴呆症における神経細胞死を引き起こしていると考えられている(非特許文献2~5)。β‐アミロイドは、アミロイド前駆体タンパク質(APP)からβ‐セクレターゼという酵素の作用によって生成される。従って、このβ‐セクレターゼに対し阻害作用を有する化合物は、アルツハイマー型痴呆症の予防に有用であると考えられる。β‐セクレターゼに対し阻害作用を有する化合物に関する研究が、近年活発に行われている(特許文献1)。 Although the cause of Alzheimer's disease has not been determined as yet, it is thought by histopathological studies that senile plaques are deposited, which leads to loss of nerve cells and atrophy of the brain. Β-amyloid, which is the main component of senile plaques, has a cytotoxic action and is considered to cause neuronal cell death in Alzheimer's disease (non-patent documents 2 to 5). β-amyloid is produced from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the action of an enzyme called β-secretase. Therefore, compounds having an inhibitory action on this β-secretase are considered to be useful for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. Recently, research on compounds having an inhibitory action on β-secretase has been actively conducted (Patent Document 1).
 このようなβ‐セクレターゼに対して阻害活性を持つ化合物は、β‐アミロイドの生成のみならず、他の生体内での反応をも阻害する可能性がある。他の生体内での反応を阻害するような物質は、β‐アミロイドの生成を阻害したとしても、患者に深刻な副作用をもたらす虞があるため、アルツハイマー型痴呆症等の治療に利用することは困難である。よって、アルツハイマー型痴呆症の治療に使用することができる、安全性の高いβ‐セクレターゼ阻害剤が求められている。 Compounds having inhibitory activity against such β-secretase may inhibit not only the formation of β-amyloid but also other in vivo reactions. Other substances that inhibit the reaction in the living body may cause serious side effects to patients even if they inhibit the formation of β-amyloid, so it may be used for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, etc. Have difficulty. Thus, there is a need for a highly safe β-secretase inhibitor that can be used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
 安全性の高いβ-セクレターゼ阻害剤を探索した例として、本発明者らによる特許文献2記載の発明が挙げられる。
 特許文献2では、安全性の高いβ-セクレターゼ阻害剤を得るために、例えばコショウ、ゴマ、ターメリック等のスパイスとして一般的に用いられる天然物からβ-セクレターゼ阻害剤が抽出されている。特許文献2ではさらに抽出物に含まれる化合物の内β-セクレターゼ阻害活性を示す化合物が特定されている。
 しかし、より阻害活性が高く且つより安価で得られるβ-セクレターゼ阻害剤が求められている。
As an example of the search for a highly safe β-secretase inhibitor, the invention described in Patent Document 2 by the present inventors can be mentioned.
In Patent Document 2, in order to obtain a highly safe β-secretase inhibitor, β-secretase inhibitors are extracted from natural products generally used as spices such as pepper, sesame seeds and turmeric. Patent Document 2 further specifies a compound having β-secretase inhibitory activity among compounds contained in the extract.
However, there is a need for β-secretase inhibitors that have higher inhibitory activity and are cheaper.
 特許文献3は、スパイスからの抽出物を利用してアルツハイマー型痴呆症を罹患している患者を処置する方法について記載している。具体的には、クルクミノイド、ターメロン、多糖類及び/又はターメリンを含むウコン抽出物を使用することが記載されている。
 しかし、特許文献3はウコン抽出物がアミロイド凝集を阻害することが記載されているものの、具体的な作用機序が明らかにされていないという問題点を有する。
Patent Document 3 describes a method of treating a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease using an extract from Spice. Specifically, the use of curcuminoid, turmeric, polysaccharides and / or turmeric extract containing turmerin is described.
However, although Patent Document 3 describes that turmeric extract inhibits amyloid aggregation, it has a problem that the specific action mechanism has not been clarified.
 特許文献4には、アルツハイマー型痴呆症の治療に用いるARターメロン誘導体を含むアセチルコリンエステラーゼ阻害剤が記載されている。
 しかし、アセチルコリンエステラーゼ阻害活性を有する物質はβ-アミロイドの蓄積を緩和する対症療法に役立つが、アルツハイマー型痴呆症の予防に効果的であるとはいえないという問題点を有する。
Patent Document 4 describes an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor containing an AR turmerone derivative to be used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
However, a substance having acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity is useful for symptomatic treatment for alleviating the accumulation of β-amyloid, but has a problem that it is not effective for preventing Alzheimer's disease.
