Description

Cacb1 유래 펩타이드, Cacb1 유래 펩타이드의 변이체 및 이의 용도Cacb1-derived peptide, Cacb1-derived peptide variant and its use
본 발명은 Cacb1 유래 펩타이드, Cacb1 유래 펩타이드의 변이체 및 이를 포함하는 고혈압 예방 또는 치료용 조성물 및 혈관 이완용 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a Cacb1-derived peptide, a variant of the Cacb1-derived peptide, and a composition for preventing or treating hypertension comprising the same, and a composition for relaxing blood vessels.
고혈압은 대부분의 나라에서 성인 3명 중 한 명이 앓고 있을 정도로 높은 유병률을 보이는 질환으로, 2016년 국민건강영양조사에 따르면 국내 고혈압 유병인구는 1100만명이 넘는 것으로 조사되었다. 고혈압은 치료하지 않는 경우 대부분 아무런 증상 없이 심장과 혈관에 상처를 주고, 죽상동맥경화라는 과정을 거쳐 뇌졸중, 급성 심근경색증 및 사망에도 이르게 하므로 “소리 없는 살인자”라고 불리기도 한다.Hypertension is a disease with a high prevalence rate that one out of three adults in most countries suffers from it.According to the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey, the prevalence of hypertension in Korea was over 11 million. If not treated, hypertension is often referred to as a “silent killer” because it injures the heart and blood vessels without any symptoms, and leads to stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and death through a process called atherosclerosis.
.고혈압 치료는 1950년대부터 본격적인 약제 개발이 이루어져 왔으며, 강압작용이 효과적이며 안전성이 입증되고 부작용도 비교적 경미하여 강압 치료의 초기 약제로 인정되고 있는 강압제로는 다음 5가지 종류가 있다: 이뇨제, 베타 차단제 및 알파베타 차단제, 칼슘 길항제, ACE 억제제(Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, 안지오텐신 전환효소 억제제), ARB 차단제(Angiotensin receptor blocker). 이들 일차선택 강압제들은 강압효과의 강도에 있어서는 서로 비슷하나, 환자에게 개별적으로 적용했을 때는 이환율, 사망률, 부작용 발생에 있어서 큰 차이를 나타낼 수 있다.The hypertension treatment has been developed in earnest since the 1950s, and the coercive action is effective, the safety is proven, and the side effects are relatively minor, so there are five types of coercive agents that are recognized as early drugs for coercion therapy: diuretics, beta Blockers and alpha-beta blockers, calcium antagonists, ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), ARB blockers (Angiotensin receptor blockers). These primary-selective coercive agents are similar in intensity of coercive effect, but when applied individually to patients, they can show a large difference in morbidity, mortality, and occurrence of side effects.
한편, 기존에 사용되는 화합물들은 약학적 투여 형태에서 쉽게 분해되어 안정성이 떨어질 뿐만 아니라 다른 세포에도 작용하여 전신에 힘이 빠지거나, 구토, 기침, 두통, 식욕부진 및 미각이상을 일으키는 등 부작용과 관련된 문제가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 예를 들어, 티아지드계 이뇨제의 경우 효과와 안전성이 충분히 입증된 가장 오래된 항고혈압제로 일차 선택약으로 사용되나 통풍, 고요산혈증, 저칼륨혈증, 저나트륨혈증, 고칼슘혈증, 이상지질혈증, 내당능 장애, 발기장애 등을 유발할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 또한, 최근 10년 동안 새로운 개념의 고혈압제 출시는 미미하며 제약시장에서는 단지 기존 고혈압제 중 두 가지 이상의 계열 약물을 결합한 복합제를 출시하기 위하여 준비하고 있는 실정이다.On the other hand, compounds used in the past are easily decomposed in pharmaceutical dosage forms and are not only less stable, but also act on other cells, resulting in loss of strength in the body, vomiting, coughing, headache, loss of appetite, and taste disorders. It is reported to have problems. For example, in the case of thiazide diuretics, it is the oldest antihypertensive drug with sufficiently proven efficacy and safety, and is used as a first choice drug, but gout, hyperuricemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypercalcemia, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, It is known that it can cause erectile dysfunction. In addition, the launch of a new concept of hypertension in the last 10 years is insignificant, and the pharmaceutical market is preparing to launch a combination drug that combines two or more of the existing hypertension drugs.
고혈압의 경우 질병 특성상 약물을 장기 복용하여야 하고 갑작스레 복용을 중단할 경우 더 큰 부작용이 나타날 수 있어, 반복 투여 독성이 없으면서도 부작용이 문제되지 않고 안전성이 확보되어야 한다. 이에, 기존의 고혈압제를 대체하고, 기존 고혈압제로 치료 효과를 보지 못했던 환자에게 적용 가능한 새로운 고혈압 치료제의 개발이 절실하다.In the case of hypertension, due to the nature of the disease, long-term use of the drug is required, and if the drug is suddenly stopped, more side effects may occur. Therefore, safety should be ensured without repeated dose toxicity without side effects. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop a new hypertension treatment that can replace existing hypertension drugs and apply to patients who have not seen treatment effects with existing hypertension drugs.
이에, 본 발명자들은 펩타이드 기반의 신규 고혈압 치료제를 개발하고자 노력한 결과, Cacb1 유래 펩타이드 및 이의 변이체의 혈압 하강효과를 확인하고 본 발명을 완성하였다.Accordingly, the present inventors have tried to develop a new therapeutic agent for hypertension based on a peptide, and as a result, confirmed the blood pressure lowering effect of the peptide derived from Cacb1 and its variants, and completed the present invention.

In order to expose the femoral nervous system bundle, the femoral skin was incised, and the femoral sheath was removed by incision along the long axis between the femoral artery and vein. Thereafter, the femoral artery was pulled in the lateral direction and the femoral vein was pulled inward, and two silk sutures (4-0 silk) were inserted under the artery located just below the femoral heart artery (arteria profunda femoris), one loosely ligated. Then, pulled toward the body, the other was firmly ligated toward the leg at the furthest point possible. Similarly, two silk sutures (4-0 silk) were inserted under the vein located under the vena profunda femoris, and the silk threads were loosely ligated for subsequent proximal and distal ligation. Then, a microincision was made at about 2 mm in the distal ligation site of each femoral artery or femoral vein, and a catheter (PE50 tube) prefilled with a saline solution containing 300 U/L heparin was inserted with a 1 mL syringe. When the catheter was initially inserted, the proximal ligation was loosened and the catheter was completely inserted (>1cm), and then the proximal ligation was completed with a triple knot around the artery and catheter or around the vein and catheter to fix the catheter to the blood vessel. The blood inside the inserted catheter was checked, and the heparin-treated saline solution was flushed to confirm catheter patency.

Arterial blood pressure was analyzed by LabChart (version 7, ADInstruments). The systolic pressure was identified as a peak, and the diastolic pressure was identified as a valley between the maximum and maximum, and the mean arterial pressure was 1/ of the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. It was calculated by adding 3. Heart rate was determined as the number of cycles per minute. In the figure, the blood pressure change amount (Δ) was calculated by subtracting the blood pressure after injection from the blood pressure before injection of the peptide solution. Statistical analysis was performed by Student T-test (*p <0.05, **p <0.01), and analysis values were expressed as mean±standard error (SEM). The results are shown in Table 3 below.
