Description

マイタケ抽出物のヘルペス感染症の治療及び/又は予防のための組成物Composition for treating and / or preventing herpes infection of Maitake extract
 本発明は、加熱乾燥マイタケ抽出物及び真空乾燥マイタケ抽出物を含むヘルペス感染症の治療及び/又は予防のための組成物、及び該組成物の製造方法等に関する。 The present invention relates to a composition for the treatment and / or prevention of herpes infections including a heat-dried maitake extract and a vacuum-dried maitake extract, a method for producing the composition, and the like.
 ヘルペスウイルスは2本鎖DNAをゲノムとするDNAウイルスであり、ヒトに対して様々な病気を引き起こす。生体内に侵入したヘルペスウイルスは、発症の有無にかかわらず特定の細胞、組織、又は臓器に潜伏感染する。潜伏感染部位はヘルペスウイルス種によって異なり、多様性を示す。ヘルペスウイルスはDNAの状態で潜伏しているが、宿主がストレスや免疫抑制といった状態に陥った時等に、潜伏感染しているヘルペスウイルスは、再活性化・増殖し、宿主に再び病態を引き起こす(回帰発症)。ヘルペスウイルス感染症状は患者の免疫状態に大きく左右され、ほぼ無症状から致死的感染まで様々な病態を呈する。ヘルペスウイルスは回帰発症と潜伏感染を繰り返して、宿主に終生存在する。 Herpes virus is a DNA virus whose genome is double-stranded DNA, and causes various diseases to humans. A herpesvirus that has entered a living body latently infects specific cells, tissues, or organs regardless of the presence or absence of onset. The site of latent infection varies depending on the herpesvirus species and shows diversity. Herpesviruses are latent in the DNA state, but when the host falls into a state of stress or immunosuppression, the latently infected herpesvirus reactivates and proliferates, causing pathological conditions to the host again (Regression onset). Symptoms of herpes virus infection are greatly affected by the patient's immune status, and exhibit various pathological conditions from almost asymptomatic to fatal infection. Herpesviruses persist in the host with recurrent episodes and latent infections.
 細胞、組織、又は臓器においてDNAの状態で潜伏しているヘルペスウイルスを、体内から除去あるいは減少させることができる抗ウイルス薬は今のところ無い。この為、抗ウイルス薬は、再発時の不快感の緩和や再発回数の減少、病気の期間の短縮を目的に使用されている。しかしながら、アシクロビル(ACV)等の化学物質の抗ウイルス薬は、長期に渡って使用すると必然的に薬剤耐性ウイルスを生じるという問題がある。加えて、アシクロビルには重大な副作用として、急性腎不全、肝機能障害、間質性肺炎、肺炎、血小板減少症、せん妄(意識障害)、てんかん発作、無顆粒球症、呼吸抑制、中毒性表皮壊死症等を生じることが知られている。 There are currently no antiviral drugs that can remove or reduce herpesviruses that are latent in the state of DNA in cells, tissues, or organs. For this reason, antiviral drugs are used for the purpose of alleviating discomfort at the time of recurrence, reducing the number of recurrences, and shortening the period of illness. However, chemical antiviral drugs such as acyclovir (ACV) inevitably produce drug-resistant viruses when used for a long time. In addition, acyclovir has significant side effects such as acute renal failure, liver dysfunction, interstitial pneumonia, pneumonia, thrombocytopenia, delirium (consciousness disorder), epilepsy, agranulocytosis, respiratory depression, toxic epidermis It is known to cause necrosis.
 化学物質だけでなく、天然物に由来する抗ヘルペス剤についても研究がなされている。例えば、特許文献1にはLPS(リポポリサッカライド)を含む抗ヘルペス剤が開示されている。また、本願出願人は、長年の食経験から安全性が高いと考えられるマイタケ抽出物について研究を行い、これまでに、マイタケ抽出物がヘルペスウイルス感染症の治療及び/又は予防に有効であることを見出している(特許文献2)。 Investigating not only chemical substances but also anti-herpes drugs derived from natural products. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an anti-herpes agent containing LPS (lipopolysaccharide). In addition, the applicant of the present application has studied maitake extract, which is considered to be highly safe from many years of eating experience, and so far the maitake extract is effective for the treatment and / or prevention of herpes virus infection. (Patent Document 2).
 しかしながら、これらの特許文献に開示される天然物由来の抗ウイルス剤のヘルペスウイルス感染症に対する効果は、必ずしも満足できるものではなかった。 However, the effects of natural products-derived antiviral agents disclosed in these patent documents on herpes virus infections are not always satisfactory.

1.ヘルペスウイルス感染症の治療及び/又は予防のための組成物
 一態様において、本発明は、加熱乾燥マイタケ抽出物及び真空乾燥マイタケ抽出物を含む、ヘルペスウイルス感染症の治療及び/又は予防のための組成物に関する。
1. Composition for treatment and / or prevention of herpes virus infection In one aspect, the present invention provides for the treatment and / or prevention of herpes virus infection comprising heat dried maitake extract and vacuum dried maitake extract. Relates to the composition.
 本明細書において、「マイタケ」とは、マイタケ属〔Grifola〕キノコを意味する。マイタケ属キノコには、狭義のマイタケ〔Grifola frondosa〕のみならず、シロマイタケ〔Grifola albicans〕、チョレイマイタケ〔Grifola umbellata〕、及びトンビマイタケ〔Grifola gigantea〕等が含まれるが、好ましくは、本明細書におけるマイタケは、狭義のマイタケ〔Grifola frondosa〕を指す。本発明の抽出物の原料としては、マイタケの子実体及び菌糸体のいずれも用いることができるが、子実体を用いることが好ましい。最近ではマイタケ〔Grifola frondosa〕及びシロマイタケ〔Grifola albicans〕の子実体の人工栽培が可能となっているため、安定した原料確保の点から上記二者の子実体を使用するのが好ましい。 In this specification, “maitake” means a genus Grifola mushroom. The mushroom genus mushrooms include not only maitake (Grifola frondosa) in the narrow sense, but also white maitake (Grifola albicans), chorei maitake (Grifola umbellata), and tomb maitake (Grifola gigantea), etc. Maitake in the book refers to “Grifola frondosa” in the narrow sense. As the raw material of the extract of the present invention, both fruit bodies and mycelia of maitake can be used, but it is preferable to use fruit bodies. Recently, the fruit bodies of maitake (Grifola frondosa) and white maitake (Grifola albicans) can be artificially cultivated. Therefore, it is preferable to use the above two fruit bodies from the viewpoint of securing a stable raw material.
 本明細書において、「乾燥マイタケ抽出物」とは、マイタケを加熱乾燥又は真空乾燥により乾燥させ、溶媒抽出するなどして、有効成分の含有量を高めたものを指す。具体的には、乾燥マイタケ抽出物には、乾燥マイタケを抽出原料として得られる抽出液、及びこれらの乾燥物のいずれもが含まれ、好ましくはマイタケ抽出液の乾燥物である。 In this specification, “dried maitake extract” refers to a product obtained by increasing the content of active ingredients by drying maitake by heat drying or vacuum drying and solvent extraction. Specifically, the dried maitake extract includes both an extract obtained by using dried maitake as an extraction raw material and these dried products, and preferably a dried product of the maitake extract.
 マイタケ抽出物を得るための溶媒の種類は限定しないが、例えば、水又は低級アルコール等のアルコール、例えばメタノール、エタノール、及びプロパノール等が挙げられる。これらの抽出溶媒は単独で又は2種以上を適切な混合比で組み合わせて使用することができる。マイタケ抽出物を得るための溶媒は、好ましくは水を主とする溶媒であり、例えば抽出溶媒中の水分重量が、70%以上、80%以上、90%以上、95%以上、98%以上、99%以上、又は100%であることが好ましい。水としては、蒸留水、イオン交換水、水道水、及び天然水のいずれも使用し得る。抽出溶媒は、抽出効率を著しく損なわない範囲で添加剤、例えば緩衝剤を含んでいてもよい。 The type of solvent for obtaining the maitake extract is not limited, and examples thereof include water or alcohols such as lower alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol. These extraction solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more at an appropriate mixing ratio. The solvent for obtaining the maitake extract is preferably a solvent mainly containing water, for example, the weight of water in the extraction solvent is 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 98% or more, It is preferably 99% or more or 100%. As water, any of distilled water, ion-exchanged water, tap water, and natural water can be used. The extraction solvent may contain an additive such as a buffer as long as the extraction efficiency is not significantly impaired.
 本発明の組成物において、加熱乾燥マイタケ抽出物Aを1としたときの真空乾燥マイタケ抽出物Bの重量比は、0.05以上、0.08以上、0.1以上、0.2以上、0.5以上、0.8以上、好ましくは1以上、1.5以上、2以上、2.5以上、又は3以上であってよく、また10以下、9以下、8以下、7以下、6以下、好ましくは5以下、4.5以下、4以下、3.5以下、又は3以下であってよい。抽出物Aを1としたときの抽出物Bの重量比は、例えば、0.05~10、0.1~5、好ましくは1~5、2~4、2.5~3.5、又は3であってよい。 In the composition of the present invention, the weight ratio of the vacuum-dried maitake extract B when the heat-dried maitake extract A is 1 is 0.05 or more, 0.08 or more, 0.1 or more, 0.2 or more, 0.5 or more, 0.8 or more, preferably 1 or more, 1.5 or more, 2 or more, 2.5 or more, or 3 or more, and 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, preferably 5 or less, 4.5 or less, 4 or less, 3.5 or less, Or it may be 3 or less. The weight ratio of the extract B when the extract A is 1 may be, for example, 0.05 to 10, 0.1 to 5, preferably 1 to 5, 2 to 4, 2.5 to 3.5, or 3.
 加熱乾燥マイタケ抽出物は、当業者に公知の方法により製造することができる。例えば、マイタケの菌糸体又は子実体、好ましくは子実体を加熱乾燥し、必要に応じて細断又は粉末化した後に、溶媒を加え、抽出を行うことができる。 The heat-dried maitake extract can be produced by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the mycelium or fruiting body of maitake, preferably the fruiting body, is dried by heating, and after chopping or powdering as necessary, extraction can be performed by adding a solvent.
 マイタケの加熱乾燥方法は特に限定せず、公知の加熱乾燥法、例えば、熱風乾燥を用いることができる。加熱温度は、低すぎると乾燥効率が低下し、高すぎるとマイタケの成分に化学変化が生じる恐れがあるため、適切な範囲に設定することが好ましい。乾燥は、40℃以上、50℃以上、60℃以上、好ましくは70℃以上、又は80℃以上、また150℃以下、120℃以下、100℃以下、好ましくは90℃以下又は80℃以下の条件で、例えば40℃~100℃、50℃~90℃、又は60℃~80℃の条件で、例えば熱風を目的の物質に送風することによって行うことができる。加熱時間はマイタケ中の水分が除かれる限り特に限定されず、例えば1時間以上、2時間以上、4時間以上、6時間以上、終夜、又は一昼夜とすることができる。 There is no particular limitation on the method of heat-drying the maitake, and a known heat-drying method such as hot air drying can be used. If the heating temperature is too low, the drying efficiency is lowered. If the heating temperature is too high, there is a possibility that a chemical change may occur in the components of the maitake. Therefore, it is preferable to set the heating temperature in an appropriate range. Drying is performed at 40 ° C or higher, 50 ° C or higher, 60 ° C or higher, preferably 70 ° C or higher, or 80 ° C or higher, 150 ° C or lower, 120 ° C or lower, 100 ° C or lower, preferably 90 ° C or lower or 80 ° C or lower. For example, it can be carried out by blowing hot air, for example, on the target substance under the conditions of 40 ° C. to 100 ° C., 50 ° C. to 90 ° C., or 60 ° C. to 80 ° C. The heating time is not particularly limited as long as moisture in the maitake is removed, and can be, for example, 1 hour or more, 2 hours or more, 4 hours or more, 6 hours or more, all night, or all day.
 マイタケ抽出物を得るための溶媒については、上記の通りであるからここでは記載を省略する。抽出工程は、上記溶媒を乾燥マイタケに加えることにより行うことができる。抽出溶媒の添加量は特に限定しないが、例えば乾燥マイタケに対して抽出溶媒を1~100倍、2~50倍又は4~30倍重量使用することができる。 Since the solvent for obtaining the maitake extract is as described above, description thereof is omitted here. An extraction process can be performed by adding the said solvent to dry maitake. The addition amount of the extraction solvent is not particularly limited. For example, the extraction solvent can be used in an amount of 1 to 100 times, 2 to 50 times, or 4 to 30 times the weight of the dried maitake.
 抽出工程は、常温で行ってもよいが、加熱を行って抽出効率を高めてもよい。マイタケ中の成分に影響を与えるような酵素は60℃を超える温度では働きが衰えるので、60℃以上、好ましくは70℃以上、又は80℃以上で抽出を行うのが好ましい。また、加圧加熱によりさらに抽出効率を高めることが好ましく、加圧加熱の場合の加熱条件は、110℃以上、115℃以上、又は120℃以上、また140℃以下、130℃以下、又は125℃以下であってよい。加圧条件は、限定しないが、例えば、圧力釜等を用いて1.2気圧~3気圧、1.5気圧~2.5気圧、1.8気圧~2.2気圧、1.9気圧~2.1気圧又は2気圧にすることができる。抽出時間は抽出条件に応じて適宜設定することができるが、例えば5分~1日、10分~6時間、15分~1時間、又は20分~40分であってよい。抽出は、好ましくは加圧下100℃以上で短時間、例えば加圧下115℃~125℃で5分~1時間行う。 The extraction step may be performed at room temperature, but heating may be performed to increase extraction efficiency. Enzymes that affect the components in the maitake mushrooms lose their function at temperatures above 60 ° C., and therefore extraction is preferably performed at 60 ° C. or higher, preferably 70 ° C. or higher, or 80 ° C. or higher. Further, it is preferable to further increase the extraction efficiency by pressure heating, and the heating conditions in the case of pressure heating are 110 ° C. or higher, 115 ° C. or higher, or 120 ° C. or higher, 140 ° C. or lower, 130 ° C. or lower, or 125 ° C.

 以上の通り、ACV及びMD Fr:YM-6A=1:3混合物の投与によって回帰発症率が減少した。さらに、中和抗体価に関しては、ACVは、ウイルスへ直接作用するため中和抗体価が上がっていないが、MD Fr:YM-6A=1:3混合物は、コントロールと比べ中和抗体価を大きく上昇させた。この結果から、MD Fr:YM-6A=1:3混合物が中和抗体を上昇させることによりウイルスの増殖を抑え、回帰発症率が低下したと推察された。 As described above, administration of ACV and MD Fr: YM-6A = 1: 3 reduced the regression rate. Furthermore, regarding neutralizing antibody titer, ACV does not increase the neutralizing antibody titer because it acts directly on the virus, but the MD Fr: YM-6A = 1: 3 mixture has a larger neutralizing antibody titer than the control. Raised. From this result, it was speculated that the MD Fr: YM-6A = 1: 3 mixture increased the neutralizing antibody, thereby suppressing the growth of the virus and reducing the regression rate.
