  • peri-implantitis is a disease that appears around the implant rather than a natural tooth, and thus requires most attentions after a procedure of the implant. It is reported that peri-implantitis occurs from 60% or more of the implants ever performed. In particular, the implant has a problem in that it does not have nerves distributed therein, unlike the natural tooth, and thus an outbreak of peri-implantitis may not be well recognized in an early stage of development, but recognized only after serious worsening of symptoms. However, if peri-implantitis leaves alone without any treatment in its early stage of development, peri-implantitis may even cause an alveolar bone to collapse in a severe case. Thus, peri-implantitis requires a careful treatment, and a serious bone loss around the implant may go so far as to require a re-operation due to a failure of the implant.

Description

COMPOSITION COMPRISING A HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating peri-implantitis, containing a horse chestnut extract as an effective component, and a food composition for preventing or reducing peri-implantitis, containing a horse chestnut extract as an effective component.
With a growing use of a dental implant, various diseases associated with the implant have occurred a lot.
Out of those diseases, peri-implantitis is a disease that appears around the implant rather than a natural tooth, and thus requires most attentions after a procedure of the implant. It is reported that peri-implantitis occurs from 60% or more of the implants ever performed. In particular, the implant has a problem in that it does not have nerves distributed therein, unlike the natural tooth, and thus an outbreak of peri-implantitis may not be well recognized in an early stage of development, but recognized only after serious worsening of symptoms. However, if peri-implantitis leaves alone without any treatment in its early stage of development, peri-implantitis may even cause an alveolar bone to collapse in a severe case. Thus, peri-implantitis requires a careful treatment, and a serious bone loss around the implant may go so far as to require a re-operation due to a failure of the implant.
Also, peri-implantitis progresses fast in comparison with other diseases developed in the natural tooth, and also tends to show a higher degree of severity.
However, the existing drugs used to prevent or treat peri-implantitis have not effectively or fundamentally treated peri-implantitis, but have simply alleviated its symptoms only. Thus, upon the occurrence of peri-implantitis, it has been difficult to treat peri-implantitis with a drug only, but other methods such as a surgical procedure, an operation or the like have been mainly used instead.
Thus, there is a need to develop a drug that may effectively prevent or treat peri-implantitis.
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating peri-implantitis, containing a horse chestnut extract as an effective component.
The present invention provides the pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating peri-implantitis, containing the horse chestnut extract as an effective component, in which the said horse chestnut extract contains quercitrin and afzelin.
Also, the present invention provides a method for preparing a horse chestnut extract, including: a first step of crushing a horse chestnut; and a second step of performing an extraction from the said crushed horse chestnut by means of an alcohol aqueous solution.
Further, the present invention provides a food composition for preventing or reducing peri-implantitis, containing a horse chestnut extract as an effective component.
Furthermore, the present invention provides the food composition for preventing or reducing peri-implantitis, containing the horse chestnut extract as an effective component, in which the said horse chestnut extract contains quercitrin and afzelin.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating peri-implantitis, containing a horse chestnut extract as an effective component.
The present invention provides the pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating peri-implantitis, containing the horse chestnut extract as an effective component, in which the said horse chestnut extract contains quercitrin and afzelin.
The horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may prevent or treat peri-implantitis. Conventional drugs have done nothing more than alleviating only the accompanying symptoms of peri-implantitis, and have failed to fundamentally treat peri-implantitis, and thus have caused a situation, in which patients are subjected to a surgical operation as a last resort or receive the implant again. However, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention achieves excellent effects of being able to alleviate symptoms of peri-implantitis and also being able to fundamentally prevent or treat peri-implantitis. For example, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may prevent or treat peri-implantitis by effectively inhibiting an activity of VEGF.
In the present specification, when any part is said to "include" a certain component, this means that the part may further include other components rather than excluding the other components, unless otherwise especially specified.
In the present specification, an "effective component" means a component that may show an intended activity when used alone, or may show the activity when used in combination with a carrier without an activity.
In the present specification, the said "prevention" means all the acts that inhibit or delay an outbreak of disease by means of administration of the said pharmaceutical composition containing the horse chestnut extract. Also, the said "treatment" includes an act, by which a disease gets better or takes a favorable turn by means of administration of the said pharmaceutical composition containing the horse chestnut extract, and an act, by which a progression of disease is inhibited or a speed of such progression is delayed.
In the present specification, the "horse chestnut" belongs to a horse chestnut family (Hippocastanaceae), and is also called conker tree as well as marronier in France.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the horse chestnut extract may be obtained from a leaf or seed ( Aesculus chinensis), particularly from the leaf.
For example, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may be also used in such a way that a horse chestnut leaf currently available or a leaf harvested from spring through to autumn is dried in the shade. Or the said horse chestnut extract may be a dry extract of the horse chestnut, which is prepared from a horse chestnut seed, and the one that contains triterpene glycosides, i.e. anhydrous aescin, in an amount of 10 wt% or more, may be used as a reference standard. More preferably, an extract of the horse chestnut leaf may be used.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said horse chestnut may be a Japanese horse chestnut ( Aesculus turbinata BLUME), Chinese horse chestnuts ( Aesculus chinensis Bge and Aesculus wilculus Rehd), an European horse chestnut ( Aesculus hippocastanum L.) and the like, particularly the European horse chestnut ( Aesculus hippocastanum L.), but is not limited thereto.
According to the present invention, the said horse chestnut extract contains quercitrin and afzelin.
In the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention, quercitrin may be represented by a following Formula 1:
[Formula 1]
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000001
In the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention, afzelin may be represented by a following Formula 2:
[Formula 2]
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000002
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said horse chestnut extract may contain the said quercitrin and the said afzelin at a weight ratio of about 2:1 to 30:1. Particularly, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may contain the said quercitrin and the said afzelin at a weight ratio of about 2:1 to 20:1. Also, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may contain the said quercitrin and the said afzelin at a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 10:1. More particularly, the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may contain the said quercitrin and the said afzelin at a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 6:1.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said horse chestnut extract may be an alcohol aqueous solution extract.
The said alcohol may be an alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and may be methanol, ethanol or a mixture thereof. For example, the horse chestnut extract (ALH-L1005) according to the present invention may be about 20 to 30% (w/v) ethanol aqueous solution extract, particularly about 20 to 25% (w/v) ethanol aqueous solution extract, and more particularly about 25% (w/v) ethanol aqueous solution extract.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said horse chestnut extract may contain the said quercitrin in an amount of about 0.5 wt% to 7 wt%, based on the total weight of the horse chestnut extract.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said horse chestnut extract may contain the said afzelin in an amount of about 0.02 wt% to 2.5 wt%, particularly in an amount of about 0.1 wt% to 1.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the horse chestnut extract.
If the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention contains the said quercitrin and the said afzelin in the said range of weight ratios, the inventive horse chestnut extract may have an excellent effect of preventing or treating peri-implantitis.
However, the contents of quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract may be subject to change depending on areas, years and harvest times within a range, in which such effect is maintained.
According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the contents of quercitrin and afzelin in the horse chestnut extract may be measured by quantifying the contents of the said quercitrin and afzelin contained in the extract.
The quercitrin and afzelin contained in the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may be converted into other substances during a quantification process. Thus, in order to accurately quantify the said components contained in the said horse chestnut extract, the quantification process needs to be strictly adjusted.
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the contents of quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract may be measured by converting the said compounds into quercetin represented by a following Formula 3 and kaempferol represented by a following Formula 4, respectively.
[Formula 3]
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000003
[Formula 4]
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000004
Particularly, the contents of quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract may be measured by converting the said substances in the extract into quercetin and kaempferol respectively without a separation between quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract, and thus quantifying such quercetin and kaempferol. For example, if the said horse chestnut extract is treated with hydrochloric acid, the quercitrin and afzelin in the said extract may be converted into quercetin and kaempferol.
Quercetin represented by the Formula 3 above and kaempferol represented by the Formula 4 above are relatively more stable than quercitrin and afzelin respectively and are not converted well during quantification, and thus quantification thereof is relatively easy and accurate quantification is also possible. In result, comparing with the case, in which the contents of quercitrin and afzelin in the horse chestnut extract are directly measured, the contents of the said substances in the horse chestnut extract may be consistently and accurately measured.
Also, because quercetin and kaempferol are not contained in the said horse chestnut extract, the contents of quercitrin and afzelin contained in the horse chestnut extract may be accurately identified by converting quercitrin and afzelin into quercetin and kaempferol respectively, and then measuring the contents of such quercetin and kaempferol.
According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an index substance of the said horse chestnut extract may be quercitrin and afzelin. However, the quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract may be measured by converting the said substances into quercetin and kaempferol respectively, and then quantifying such quercetin and kaempferol. In this case, the said horse chestnut extract may be specified by means of the contents of the said quercetin and kaempferol.
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an index substance of the said horse chestnut extract may be quercetin and kaempferol. In this case, the said horse chestnut extract may be specified by means of the contents of quercetin and kaempferol, not by measuring the contents of quercitrin and afzelin contained in the said horse chestnut extract, but by converting the quercitrin and afzelin in the said horse chestnut extract into quercetin and kaempferol, and then by quantifying the said quercetin and kaempferol.
A process for converting quercitrin represented by the Formula 1 above into quercetin represented by the Formula 3 above may be performed by means of various methods known in the field, particularly an acid hydrolysis method. For example, the quercitrin in the horse chestnut extract may be converted into quercetin by dissolving the horse chestnut extract in an organic solvent, and then treating with strong acid such as hydrochloric acid.
A process for converting afzelin represented by the Formula 2 above into kaempferol represented by the Formula 4 above may be performed by means of various methods known in the field, particularly an acid hydrolysis method. For example, the afzelin in the horse chestnut extract may be converted into kaempferol by dissolving the horse chestnut extract in an organic solvent, and then treating with strong acid such as hydrochloric acid.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said pharmaceutical composition may contain the said horse chestnut extract in an amount of about 0.005 wt% to 70 wt%, particularly the said horse chestnut extract in an amount of about 0.01 wt% to 50 wt%, more particularly the said horse chestnut extract in an amount of about 0.01 wt% to 20 wt%, and even more particularly the said horse chestnut extract in an amount of about 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%, based on the total weight of the said pharmaceutical composition.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the said pharmaceutical composition containing the horse chestnut extract may further contain a pharmaceutically acceptable additive.
The said additive may be a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, binder, glidant, filler, extender, humectant, disintegrant, surfactant, diluent, lubricant, preservative, etc., but is not limited thereto. For example, the pharmaceutically acceptable additive may be starch, gelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, copovidone, povidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, calcium hydrogen phosphate, lactose, mannitol, sucrose, taffy, gum Arabic, pregelatinized starch, maize starch, powdered cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, gelatin, opadry, sodium starch glycolate, carnauba wax, synthetic aluminum silicate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, aluminum stearate, calcium stearate, white sugar, magnesium, dextrose, sorbitol, talc, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oil like olive oil, injectable ester like ethyl oleate, liquid paraffin, Ringer's solution, wax, paraffin, tragacanth, silicon, bentonite, silica, talc, zinc oxide, chlorofluoro hydrocarbon, propane-butane, dimethyl ether or the like, but is not limited thereto.

The Examples of the present invention are provided to more completely describe the present invention to those having ordinary skill in the art.
Preparation Example 1. Preparation of a horse chestnut extract
The leaves of a horse chestnut ( Aesculus hippocastanum L.), collected at Doma-dong and Jeonmin-dong, Daejeon Metropolitan City, South Korea, were dried at room temperature in the shade, and then crushed. An extraction from about 30 g of resulting crushed leaves was performed by means of about 600 ml of about 25% (w/v) ethanol at about 80℃ for two hours, and a resulting extract was filtered. A resulting filtrate was concentrated, and thus a resulting extract of the horse chestnut leaves was obtained by about 3.4 g. Hereinafter, the horse chestnut extract prepared in Example 1 was designated as ALH-L1005.
Example 1. Identification of inhibitory effect on VEGF
A 96-well plate (Corning, USA) was inoculated with a HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) at a ratio of 3 x 10 4 cells/well, in which a medium was an EBM-2 + 2% FBS medium. In about 24 hours later, serum free media were treated with VEGF or VEGF + the horse chestnut extract (ALH-L1005) (concentrations of the horse chestnut extract: 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 ug/ml), then cultured for about 48 hours, then treated with about 50 ul of an XTT reagent per well, then reacted for four hours, and then an observance was measured at about 490 nm by means of an ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) reader (Molecular Devices, USA).
The results of the measurement above are shown in a following FIG. 1.
As identified in FIG. 1, it can be seen that a proliferation of the HUVEC was remarkably inhibited in a group treated with the said horse chestnut extract according to the present invention, in comparison with a group not treated with the horse chestnut extract. Accordingly, it can be seen that the horse chestnut extract inhibited the VEGF.
Thus, it can be seen that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention may effectively treat peri-implantitis by effectively inhibiting the VEGF.
Example 2. Identification of inhibitory effect on inflammatory response
A macrophage in an inflammatory response produces a pro-inflammatory cytokine like an inflammation mediator such as TNF-α, intereukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1*?*, then synthesizes an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and then produces NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Such pro-inflammatory cytokine induces an inflammatory response, and also may cause an inflammatory disease, if a host's immune response is not appropriate.
Thus, an anti-inflammatory effect may be identified by identifying that NO produced from the inflammatory response is inhibited and production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine is inhibited.
Example 2-1. Inhibition of NO production
A concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in a culture fluid was measured by means of a Griess response. RAW 264.7 cells were adjusted at a ratio of 1 x 10 6 cells/mL, then inoculated into a 24-well plate, and then pre-cultured in a about 5% CO 2 incubator at about 37℃ for two hours. After that, the cells were treated with the horse chestnut extract obtained in Example 1 at ratios of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL, then stimulated by means of an LPS of 1 ug/mL in one hour later, and then mainly cultured for about 24 hours. A resulting supernatant and a Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide + 0.1% naphthylendiamine dihydrochloride, 1:1) were reacted to each other at a ratio of 1:1 at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then an observance thereof was measured at about 540 nm by means of a microplate reader.
The results of the measurement above are shown in following Table 1 and FIG. 2. In the following Table 1, an absorbance of a control group without any treatment and that of a group treated with both the LPS and the horse chestnut extract were indicated as % based on an observance (100%) of a group treated with the LPS only.
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000005
From the results of Table 1 and FIG. 2 above, it may be identified that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention inhibited an NO production at concentrations of 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL.
Example 2-2. Cytotoxicity assay test
A murine macrophage cell line, i.e. RAW264.7 cells were divided into a 96-well plate (Corning, USA) so that the number of cells may amount to 1 x 10 4 cells/well, and then cultured in a CO 2 incubator (37℃, 5% CO 2) for two hours. After cultivation, the resulting cells were treated with the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention at each concentration of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL, and cultured at about 37℃ for one hour. After cultivation, the resulting cells were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) at a concentration of 1 ug/mL, and cultured at about 37℃ for about 24 hours. After that, the resulting cells were treated with an XTT reagent at a ratio of about 50 ul per well, then reacted for four hours, then an observance change thereof was measured at about 490 nm by means of the ELISA reader (Molecular Devices, USA), and then a cell viability thereof was indicated as a percentage.
The results of the measurement above are shown in following Table 2 and FIG. 3.
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000006
From the results of the said Table 2 and FIG. 3, it can be seen that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention had no cytotoxicity at concentrations of 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL, and it may be identified that an inhibitory effect on the NO production in Example 2-1 was not caused by cytotoxicity.
Example 2-3. Inhibition of intereukin-6 expression
An amount of intereukin-6 (IL-6) secretion from RAW 264.7 cells in a cell culture fluid was measured by using an ELISA kit (Mouse ELISA set, R&D Systems Inc.). To obtain the cell culture fluid, the RAW 264.7 cells were adjusted at a ratio of 5 x 10 6 cells/mL, then inoculated into a 24-well plate, then was pre-cultured for two hours, and then treated with the inventive horse chestnut extract at each concentration of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL as well as an LPS of 1 ug/mL. After that, a main cultivation was performed for about 24 hours, and thus supernatant was obtained through centrifugation. In case of the ELISA, an anti-mouse IL-6 was divided into a microplate as a capture antibody, and then coated overnight at room temperature. After that, the microplate was washed with a wash buffer (#WA126, R&D Systems Inc.), then blocked by means of a reagent diluent (#DY995, R&D Systems Inc.), then washed with the wash buffer, and then a supernatant of cell culture was divided into each microplate well and reacted at room temperature for two hours. After the reaction, the microplate was washed with the wash buffer, and then a diluted biotinylated anti-mouse IL-6 detection antibody and streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate were divided thereinto and reacted at room temperature for about 20 minutes. After that, the microplate was washed with the wash buffer again, then a substrate solution (#DY999, R&D Systems Inc.) was added thereinto, and then dark-reacted at room temperature for about 20 minutes. The reaction was ended by means of a stop solution (#DY994, R&D Systems Inc.), and then an observance thereof was measured at about 450 nm by means of a microplate reader.
The results of the measurement in the experiment above are shown in following Table 3 and FIG. 4.
Figure PCTKR2018016486-appb-img-000007
From the results of the said Table 3 and FIG. 4, it was identified that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention reduced an expression level of intereukin-6, i.e. the pro-inflammatory cytokine at concentrations of 25, 50, 75 and 100 ug/mL.
Considering all the experimental results above, it can be seen that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention inhibited an NO production, had no cytotoxicity, and reduced an expression level of intereukin-6, i.e. the pro-inflammatory cytokine. From the results above, it may be identified that the horse chestnut extract according to the present invention showed an anti-inflammatory action by reducing the NO production with regard to Raw264.7 of macrophage, in which inflammation was induced by means of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as well as an expression level of interleukin-6, i.e. an intracellular pro-inflammatory cytokine.
Example 2-4. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) in an in-vitro model of peri-implantitis
An amount of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) secretion from MG63 cells in a cell culture fluid was measured by using the ELISA kit (R&D Systems Inc.). To obtain the cell culture fluid, the MG63 cells were adjusted at a ratio of 1 X 10 6 cells/mL, then inoculated into a 60 mm culture plate, then pre-cultured for two hours, and then treated with the inventive horse chestnut extract at each concentration of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100ug/mL as well as 10 ug/mL of LPS. After that, the medium was discarded after a main culture for 48 hours, then the resulting cells were washed twice with PBS, then proteins were isolated therefrom by using a lysis buffer, and then used for the ELISA. For the ELISA, anti-human/mouse COX-2 was divided into a microplate as a capture antibody and then coated overnight at room temperature. After that, the microplate was washed with a wash buffer, then blocked by means of a block buffer, then washed again with the wash buffer, after which isolated cell proteins were divided into each microplate well, and then subjected to reaction at room temperature for two hours. After the reaction, the microplate was washed with the wash buffer, after which diluted biotinylated anti-human/mouse COX-2 detection antibody and streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate were divided thereinto, and then subjected to reaction at room temperature for 20 minutes. After that, the microplate was washed with the wash buffer, after which a substrate solution was added thereinto, and then subjected to a dark reaction at room temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction was ended by mean of a stop solution, and then an absorbance thereof was measured at 450 nm by means of a microplate reader.
The results of the measurement above are shown in following Table 4 and FIG. 5.
