Description

헴프 껍질 추출물을 포함하는 인지기능 개선용 조성물Composition for improving cognitive function comprising hemp bark extract
본 발명은 인지기능 개선용 조성물에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 헴프 껍질 추출물을 포함하는 인지기능 개선용 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition for improving cognitive function, and more particularly, to a composition for improving cognitive function comprising a hemp bark extract.
고령화 사회에 접어들게 됨에 따라 치매 환자가 증가하면서 이에 따른 건강 및 사회적 비용이 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 점차적으로 치매는 개인의 문제가 아닌 국가적인 과제로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 치매(dementia)는 정상적인 노화와는 구분해야 할 병적인 현상이며, 그 원인에 따라 알츠하이머성 치매(Alzheimer's disease), 혈관성 치매(vascular dementia), 기타 알콜 중독, 외상, 파킨슨병의 후유증으로 오는 치매 등으로 구별되며, 60% 이상이 알츠하이머성 치매인 것으로 알려져 있다. 치매 환자에서는 기억·판단·언어 능력 등의 지적인 기능이 감퇴하거나, 일상생활 능력이 저하되고, 인격 또는 행동 장애 등의 임상적인 특징이 나타난다.As we enter an aging society, the number of dementia patients increases, resulting in an increase in health and social costs. Therefore, dementia is gradually emerging as a national problem rather than an individual problem. Dementia is a pathological phenomenon to be distinguished from normal aging, and depending on its cause, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, other alcoholism, trauma, dementia caused by sequelae of Parkinson's disease, etc. It is known that more than 60% are Alzheimer's dementia. In dementia patients, intellectual functions such as memory, judgment, and language ability decline, or daily living ability decreases, and clinical features such as personality or behavioral disorders appear.
치매 분류 중, 알츠하이머성 치매의 발병 기전은 명확히 알려져 있지 않으나, 신경독성단백질인 베타-아밀로이드(β-amyloid protein)의 독성이 가장 중요한 원인으로 제시되고 있다. 이 물질은 아밀로이드 전구단백질(APP: amyloid precursor protein)의 잘못된 대사로 인해 생성되는 것으로 알려져 있고, APP의 정상 대사물은 신경세포 보호작용이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 최근 유전공학적 방법을 이용한 연구 결과에서는 베타아밀로이드(β-amyloid) 등의 독성 단백질이 세포와 혈관에 쌓여 신경세포에 독성을 미침으로써 결과적으로 뇌기능에 장애가 초래된다는 사실이 밝혀졌다.Among the classifications of dementia, the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's dementia is not clearly known, but the toxicity of the neurotoxic protein beta-amyloid protein is suggested as the most important cause. This substance is known to be produced due to incorrect metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP), and it is reported that the normal metabolite of APP has a neuroprotective action. Recent research results using genetic engineering methods have revealed that toxic proteins such as beta-amyloid accumulate in cells and blood vessels and cause toxicity to nerve cells, resulting in impairment of brain function.
현재까지 치매 치료를 위한 약물 치료는 아세틸콜린 전구체를 투여하거나 아세틸콜린의 분해를 저해하는 약물을 투여하여 뇌의 아세틸콜린 농도를 높여 주는 치료 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 대표적인 약물로는 타크린(tacrine), 도네페질(donepezil), 리바스티그민(rivastigmine), 갈란타민(galantamine) 등이 있다.Until now, drug treatment for the treatment of dementia has been used to increase the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain by administering an acetylcholine precursor or a drug that inhibits the degradation of acetylcholine. Representative drugs include tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine.
현재 사용되고 있는 상기와 같은 치매 치료 약물은 아세틸콜린에스테라제 저해제 기반의 화합물로서, 오심, 구토, 식욕감퇴, 복통 등 소화기 계통의 부작용이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한, 알츠하이머성 치매에서는 상대적으로 부티릴콜린에스테라제의 활동성이 비약적으로 증가됨에 따라 알츠하이머성 치매를 보다 효과적으로 치료하기 위하여는 아세틸콜린에스테라제 활성의 저해뿐만 아니라 부티릴콜린에스테라제 활성도 저해하는 동시 저해제 개발이 절실하게 요구된다.The dementia treatment drugs as described above currently used are acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-based compounds, and are known to have side effects of the digestive system such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. In addition, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity as well as butyrylcholinesterase activity in order to more effectively treat Alzheimer's dementia as the activity of butyrylcholinesterase is relatively dramatically increased in Alzheimer's dementia The development of simultaneous inhibitors is urgently required.
본 발명이 해결하고자 하는 과제는 아세틸콜린에스테라제 활성과 부티릴콜린에스테라제 활성을 동시에 억제하여 보다 효과적으로 알츠하이머성 치매 등의 인지기능 장애를 개선시키는 천연 유래 물질을 제공하는 것이다.The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a naturally-derived substance that simultaneously inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity and butyrylcholinesterase activity to more effectively improve cognitive dysfunction, such as Alzheimer's dementia.
본 발명이 해결하고자 하는 과제는 이상에서 언급한 해결 과제로 제한되지 않으며, 언급되지 않은 또 다른 기술적 과제들은 아래의 기재로부터 본 발명이 속하는 기술 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 명확하게 이해될 수 있을 것이다.The problem to be solved by the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs from the description below.
