Abstract

The invention relates to the ACE-2 enzyme inhibitory effects of essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of the plants Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare.

Description

ACE-2 ENZYME INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF ESSENTIAL OILS OBTAINED FROM THE AERIAL PARTS OF THE PLANTS ORIGANUM MAJORANA, ORIGANUM MINUTIFLORUM, ORIGANUM ONITES AND ORIGANUM VULGARE
Technical Field
The invention relates to the ACE-2 enzyme inhibitory effects of essential oils obtained from the aerial parts, preferably leaves of the plants Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgar e.
State of the Art of the Invention (Prior Art)
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, ACE2 in short, is an enzyme bound to the outer surface of cells in the arteries, lungs, kidneys, heart, and intestines. ACE2 accelerates the hydrolysis of the angiotensin II hormone, which is a vasoconstrictor, to angiotensin, thereby reducing blood pressure. ACE-2 enzyme is located in the natural balance of our body and some disorders can be associated with this enzyme.
Especially since December 2019, this enzyme has come to the fore in coronavirus-induced infections, which have caused very serious health problems in the world, and materials that are thought to be effective against coronavirus through ACE-2 enzyme inhibition have been tried and published. ACE2 has been recognized as the specific receptor of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The strong interaction of the protein S of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the catalytic region of the ACE2 enzyme is the first step in the formation of the disease. Drug studies for SARS-CoV-2 are still ongoing due to the recent history of the disease, and there are no clear treatments with definite solutions in this regard. Although the effect of some treatments on the virus and the course of the disease has been proven, the detailed analysis continues and this issue remains a serious problem in the world.
Natural resources have become very popular in the treatment of diseases. Products and phytochemicals obtained from plants have been included in the preparations used in the pharmaceutical field from the past to the present. Natural products have attracted special attention with these effects because the products of plant origin give very good results in the fight against microorganisms. Today, very successful results have started to be obtained from herbal extracts and natural substances.
Muchtaridi Muchtaridi et al. summarizes natural flavonoids that have potential efficacy against COVID-19 through ACE2 receptor inhibition. However, these plants do not include Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare plants and the essential oils thereof.
In their study, Nazim §ekeroglu et al. disclose the antiviral effect of many plants including the species of thyme plant (Origanum vulgare L., Origanum majorana L ). However, it does not disclose that the essential oils obtained from these species show antiviral activity with ACE2 receptor inhibition.
The patent document numbered WO2014/036667 Al describes the method of extracting essential oils from plants, including the Origanum vulgare plant. However, it does not disclose that these essential oils show antiviral activity with ACE2 receptor inhibition.
Brief Description and Objects of the Invention
The primary object of the invention is to obtain essential oils with antiviral effects from the aboveground parts, preferably from the leaves of four different thyme plants, Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare. For this purpose, in vitro experiments including the following steps were performed.
- Analyzing ACE2 enzyme inhibitory effects from the essential oil of Origanum majorana (showing 85.53% ACE2 enzyme inhibition.)
- Analyzing ACE2 enzyme inhibitory effects from the essential oil of Origanum minutiflorum (showing 79.07% ACE2 enzyme inhibition.)
- Analyzing ACE2 enzyme inhibitory effects from the essential oil of Origanum vulgare (showing 74.31% ACE2 enzyme inhibition.) - Analyzing ACE2 enzyme inhibitory effects from the essential oil of Origanum onites (showing 42.79% ACE2 enzyme inhibition.)
In the invention, essential oils of four different thyme species were investigated in terms of ACE-2 enzyme inhibition. At this point, as a natural agent, these essential oils separately gave very good results in terms of ACE-2 enzyme inhibition at a concentration of 20 micrograms/mL.
The object of the invention is to discover and develop effective, natural and domestic agents against the coronavirus, which is of great importance for human health, by obtaining Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare essential oils.
The pharmaceutical composition obtained by the invention can be used in the preparation of the drug to be used in the treatment of coronavirus disease.
The pharmaceutical composition obtained by the invention can also be used as a supportive treatment in the treatment of coronavirus disease.
Definitions of Figures Describing the Invention
The figures and related descriptions required to better understand the invention are as follows.
Figure 1: % inhibition rate of essential oils of the aboveground parts of Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare against Angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention is a pharmaceutical composition and comprises the essential oils of the aerial parts of the oregano species Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare, and has inhibitory effects against the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The pharmaceutical composition of the invention optionally comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
The invention has shown the effect of high ACE2 enzyme inhibition of Origanum majorana, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum onites, and Origanum vulgare oregano essential oils.
Origanum majorana should be an essential oil containing 15-30% carvacrol, Origanum minutiflorum containing 70-80% carvacrol, Origanum onites containing 70-85% carvacrol and Origanum vulgare containing 60-70% carvacrol. ACE2 enzyme inhibition is since these components are at the specified rates.
Within the scope of the invention, the said pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may be selected from the group consisting of binders, dispersants, diluents, lubricants, brighteners, granulation agents, lubricants, coloring agents, buffering agents, emulsifying agents, solvents, or combinations of two, three or four of them.
The essential oils were obtained by water-steam distillation. In the Clevenger apparatus, the water vapor and volatile components of the dry plant were dragged and collected in a graded burin with the help of a cooler.
