Description

口腔環境改善用組成物Composition for improving oral environment
 本発明は、口腔環境の改善のために用いる組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a composition used for improving oral environment.
 口腔は全身の機能の恒常性維持に深く関連しており、健康な日常生活を送るうえで口腔環境の維持は必要不可欠といえる。口腔内に分泌される唾液は、抗菌物質や抗酸化物質を含んでおり、口腔内の洗浄など複数の作用により口腔環境の維持に重要な働きをしている。しかし、唾液の分泌量は加齢により減少することが報告されており、唾液分泌量の減少を引き金として嚥下障害や舌痛症などを発症する可能性がある。また、唾液分泌量の減少に伴い口腔内の洗浄機能が低下することで、口腔内の細菌が増加してう蝕や歯周病などに罹患するリスクも高まる。すなわち、加齢により低下する唾液分泌量を増加させることは、口腔環境の維持につながり人々の生活の質(Quality of life:QOL)を向上させることができる。 The oral cavity is closely related to the maintenance of homeostasis of the functions of the whole body, and it can be said that maintaining the oral environment is essential for leading a healthy daily life. Saliva secreted into the oral cavity contains antibacterial substances and antioxidant substances, and plays an important role in maintaining the oral environment through multiple actions such as cleaning the oral cavity. However, it has been reported that the amount of saliva secreted decreases with aging, and a decrease in the amount of saliva secreted may trigger the development of dysphagia, glossalgia, and the like. In addition, as the amount of saliva secreted decreases, the cleaning function of the oral cavity decreases, which increases the number of bacteria in the oral cavity and increases the risk of caries, periodontal disease, and the like. That is, increasing the amount of salivary secretion, which declines with aging, leads to maintenance of the oral environment and can improve people's quality of life (QOL).

 NMNは、人間が生命機能を維持するために必要なNicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide(NAD)の前駆物質であり、マウス等に投与することで多くの有用な作用が報告されている。NADは加齢により生体中の量が低下し、その維持あるいは増加にはNADの前駆物質であるNMNを摂取することが効果的であることが知られている。しかし、NMNの口腔環境に及ぼす影響や効果はほとんど知られていない。 NMN is a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) that humans need to maintain life functions, and many useful effects have been reported when administered to mice. The amount of NAD in the body decreases with aging, and it is known that ingesting NMN, which is a precursor of NAD, is effective in maintaining or increasing it. However, little is known about the effects of NMN on the oral environment.
 そこで、老齢マウスあるいは成人にNMNを摂取させることで、唾液分泌量や口腔内細菌に影響を与えるか否かを検証し、本発明を完成した。 Therefore, we verified whether ingesting NMN to aged mice or adults affects the amount of salivary secretion and oral bacteria, and completed the present invention.

 NADはすべての生物種に存在し、補酵素として働くが、近年、長寿遺伝子といわれるサーチュイン遺伝子との関係が注目されている。サーチュインは、NAD依存性である。またNADは、ポリADP-リボシル化酵素(Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1, PARP1 )の基質でもある。PARP-1は細胞内のNADを基質としてADPリボースをアクセプタータンパク質に結合させる。この反応はDNAに一本鎖切断が生じたとき高頻度に認められることから、DNA損傷に対する生体内応答機構であると考えられている。PARP1はまた、加齢下でのDNAの欠失による変異発生につながる不正確なDNA修復の抑制に関与する可能性が示唆されている。 NAD + is present in all species and functions as a coenzyme, but in recent years, attention has been paid to its relationship with sirtuin genes, which are called longevity genes. Sirtuins are NAD + dependent. NAD + is also a substrate for Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). PARP-1 binds ADP ribose to an acceptor protein using intracellular NAD + as a substrate. Since this reaction is frequently observed when single-strand breaks occur in DNA, it is considered to be an in vivo response mechanism to DNA damage. PARP1 has also been suggested to be involved in the suppression of imprecise DNA repair leading to mutagenesis due to DNA deletion during aging.
 本発明の組成物に含まれるNAD類似物質は、種々の方法で製造し得る。合成してもよく、NAD類似物質を含む酵母や植物等の抽出物、培養物を利用してもよい。 The NAD-like substance contained in the composition of the present invention can be produced by various methods.

 ある組成物により、唾液の分泌量が増加するか否かは、対象者(ヒト及び非ヒト哺乳類動物を含む)において、対象組成物を摂取する前と一定期間摂取した後のそれぞれの唾液分泌量を比較して、前者よりも後者のほうが多くなったか否かにより判断することができる。本発明の組成物は、加齢により低下した唾液分泌量を増加させるのに適しており、特に、ヒトであれば40歳以上、好ましくは50歳以上、60歳以上の者において用いるのに適している。 Whether or not a certain composition increases the amount of saliva secreted is determined by measuring the amount of saliva secreted by a subject (including humans and non-human mammals) before and after ingesting the subject composition for a certain period of time. can be compared to determine whether or not the latter is greater than the former. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The composition of the present invention is suitable for increasing the amount of salivary secretion that has decreased with age, and is particularly suitable for use in humans aged 40 or older, preferably 50 or older, or 60 or older. ing.
 本発明の組成物による唾液の分泌量の増加は、安静時唾液量が平均値未満である場合に増加させる場合と、唾液量が平均の範囲内ではあるが加齢により低下していると考えられる場合に増加させる場合とを含む。成人の安静時唾液量の平均は約0.3~0.5 mL/minであるが、本発明の組成物は、この範囲内ではあるが加齢により低下している対象者に摂取させることにより、安静時唾液量を増加させうる。 The increase in salivary secretion due to the composition of the present invention is considered to occur when the resting saliva volume is less than the average value, and when the saliva volume is within the average range but decreases with age. including cases where it is increased when it is possible. The average resting saliva volume of adults is about 0.3 to 0.5 mL/min. May increase salivary flow.
 ある組成物により、口腔内の細菌の数が低減するか否かは、対象者(ヒト及び非ヒト哺乳類動物を含む)において、対象組成物を摂取する前と一定期間摂取した後のそれぞれにおいて唾液中の細菌数を計数し、前者よりも後者のほうが少なくなったか否かにより判断することができる。 Whether a certain composition reduces the number of bacteria in the oral cavity can be determined by measuring the saliva of a subject (including humans and non-human mammals) before and after ingesting the subject composition for a certain period of time. By counting the number of bacteria in the medium, it can be determined whether the number of bacteria in the latter is smaller than that of the former.
 本発明の組成物はまた、口腔乾燥症(ドライマウス)、及び口臭の少なくとも一方の処置のために用いうる。口腔乾燥症の原因は様々であり、口呼吸、水分不足、脱水、加齢、加齢に伴う衰え、加齢に伴う服薬、ストレス、疾患によるもの、薬の副作用によるもの、それらが複合的に関与しているものがあるが、本発明の組成物はいずれの場合にも用いうる。口腔乾燥症の原因となる疾患の例として、糖尿病、甲状腺機能障害、尿崩症、シェーグレン症候群が挙げられる。口腔乾燥の副作用が伴いうる薬の例として、抗うつ剤、抗不安薬、降圧剤、鎮痛剤が挙げられる。また、がん治療で唾液腺に放射線が当たるような場合には、唾液腺組織が傷害を受け、口腔乾燥症を生じやすくなる場合があるが、本発明の組成物はそのような場合にも用いうる。 The composition of the present invention can also be used for the treatment of at least one of xerostomia (dry mouth) and halitosis.

評価例1
試験1:動物試験
[方法]
1)投与物
 マウスに投与するβ-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide(NMN)は、Bontac社製を使用し、蒸留水に溶解後マウスに飲水にて投与した。投与用量は300 mg/kg/dayに設定し、投与濃度は事前に測定したマウスの飲水量と体重を元に算出した。
Evaluation example 1
Study 1: Animal study [Methods]
1) Administration material β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) to be administered to mice was manufactured by Bontac, dissolved in distilled water, and then administered to mice through drinking water. The administration dose was set at 300 mg/kg/day, and the administration concentration was calculated based on the water intake and body weight of mice measured in advance.
2)動物
 若齢マウスは雄性で24週齢、C57BL/6J系統を10匹、老齢マウスは雄性で84週齢、C57BL/6J系統を20匹購入した。目安として、マウスの24週齢、及び84週齢は、それぞれヒトの30歳前後、及び60歳前後に相当する。マウスは、室温22±2℃、湿度55±15%、明期7時~19時、暗期19時~7時の飼育室で、個別飼いで試験終了まで飼育を行った。また、飼料と水は制限せず自由に摂取させた。予備飼育終了後、老齢マウスは体重の平均値、唾液分泌量が均等となるように1群10匹の2群(老齢コントロール群:OC群、老齢NMN群:ON群)に群分けした。群分け後、ON群にはNMNの飲水投与を開始し、若齢マウス(若齢コントロール群:YC群)とOC群は予備飼育と同様に通常の水を与えて8週間飼育を行った。
2) Animals We purchased 10 male young mice, 24 weeks old, C57BL/6J strain, and 20 old male mice, 84 weeks old, C57BL/6J strain. As a guideline, 24-week-old and 84-week-old mice correspond to around 30 years old and around 60 years old in humans, respectively. Mice were individually housed in a breeding room with room temperature of 22±2°C, humidity of 55±15%, light period from 7:00 to 19:00 and dark period from 19:00 to 7:00 until the end of the test. Feed and water were allowed to be taken freely without restriction. After preliminary breeding, the aged mice were divided into 2 groups (aged control group: OC group, aged NMN group: ON group) of 10 mice per group so that the mean body weight and salivary secretion were equal. After grouping, NMN was administered to the ON group in drinking water, and the young mice (young control group: YC group) and the OC group were fed normal water for 8 weeks in the same manner as the preliminary breeding.
3)唾液分泌量の測定
 予備飼育中及び試験開始8週間後に全個体より唾液を採取した。体重測定を実施後に1時間の絶食を行い、最後の30分は絶水も行った。三種混合麻酔薬(ドミトール、ベトルファール、ミダゾラム)を10 mL/kgの容量で腹腔内投与してマウスに麻酔をかけた。深麻酔下に陥るまでマウスを約5分間放置し、ピロカルピン塩酸塩を1 mg/kg(5 mL/kg)の用量で腹腔内投与した。マウスの口を上に向けるように寝かせて口を開かせ、ピロカルピン投与から15分間マウスの口腔内に分泌された唾液をキャピラリー(Hirschmann Laborgerate社製)を用いて採取した。採取した唾液は分泌量(mg)を測定した(1 mgを1 μLと換算)。唾液分泌量は、1分あたりの分泌量をマウスの体重で補正して算出した。
3) Measurement of salivary secretion amount Saliva was collected from all animals during preliminary breeding and 8 weeks after the start of the test. After weight measurement, they fasted for 1 hour, and also fasted for the last 30 minutes. Mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal administration of a triple anesthetic (Domitol, Betorfal, Midazolam) at a volume of 10 mL/kg. Mice were left for about 5 minutes until they fell under deep anesthesia, and pilocarpine hydrochloride was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mg/kg (5 mL/kg). The mice were laid with their mouths facing upward and opened, and saliva secreted into the oral cavity of the mice was collected using a capillary (manufactured by Hirschmann Laborgerate) for 15 minutes after administration of pilocarpine. The secretion amount (mg) of the collected saliva was measured (converting 1 mg to 1 µL). The amount of saliva secreted was calculated by correcting the amount of saliva secreted per minute by the body weight of the mouse.
4)口腔内細菌数の測定
 予備飼育中及び試験開始8週間後に全個体の口腔内細菌数を測定した。マウスを手で保定した状態でマイクロブラシ(松風社製)を用いて口腔内をスワブ(両頬を軽くこする)した。マイクロブラシを150μLの2×YT培地が入ったチューブ内でよく撹拌した。2×YT培地を希釈してLB agar Lennoxに50μL塗抹し、37℃、好気下で20時間培養した。培養後、コロニー数をカウントして生菌数(cfu/mL-YT培地)を算出した。
4) Measurement of Oral Bacteria Count During preliminary breeding and 8 weeks after the start of the test, the number of oral bacteria was measured for all individuals. The mouth was swabbed (lightly rubbed both cheeks) with a microbrush (manufactured by Shofu Co., Ltd.) while the mouse was held by hand. The microbrush was agitated well in a tube containing 150 μL of 2×YT medium. 50 μL of diluted 2×YT medium was smeared on LB agar Lennox and cultured at 37° C. under aerobic conditions for 20 hours. After culturing, the number of colonies was counted to calculate the number of viable cells (cfu/mL-YT medium).
[結果]
1)唾液分泌量
 予備飼育時(0W)の唾液分泌量は、YC群と比較してOC群及びON群は有意ではないものの低値であった。一方で、試験開始8週間後では、YC群と比較してOC群は有意に低値であったが、YC群とON群に差は認められなかった。また、OC群とON群の比較ではON群のほうが高値である傾向が見られた(図1)。
[result]
1) Amount of saliva secretion The amount of saliva secretion at the time of preliminary feeding (0W) was lower in the OC group and ON group than in the YC group, though not significantly. On the other hand, 8 weeks after the start of the study, the OC group had significantly lower values than the YC group, but no difference was observed between the YC group and the ON group. In addition, when comparing the OC group and the ON group, the ON group tended to have higher values (Fig. 1).
2)口腔内細菌数
 予備飼育時の口腔内細菌数は、YC群と比較してOC群及びON群で有意ではないものの低値であった。一方で、試験開始8週間後では、OC群と比較してYC群及びON群は有意に低値であった(図2)。
2) Number of oral bacteria The number of oral bacteria during preliminary breeding was lower in the OC group and ON group than in the YC group, although not significantly. On the other hand, 8 weeks after the start of the test, the YC group and ON group had significantly lower values than the OC group (Fig. 2).
[考察]
 NMN投与前の予備飼育時は、唾液分泌量では若齢マウス(YC群)より老齢マウス(OC群及びON群)のほうが有意ではないが低値で、口腔細菌数は老齢マウスのほうが有意ではないが高値であったため、加齢により唾液分泌量が減少して口腔環境が悪化していると考えられた。試験開始8週間後では、NMNを投与していないOC群は、YC群と比較して唾液分泌量と口腔内細菌で差が見られた。一方で、NMNを投与したON群は唾液分泌量と口腔内細菌数でYC群との差は見られなかった。すなわち、老齢マウスにNMNを投与することで、唾液分泌量と口腔内細菌数が若齢マウスと同等の値を示し、加齢により悪化していた口腔環境が改善されることが明らかとなった。
[Discussion]
During the preliminary breeding before NMN administration, the amount of saliva secreted was not significantly lower in the old mice (OC group and ON group) than in the young mice (YC group), and the oral bacterial count was not significantly higher in the old mice. However, due to the high value, it was considered that the amount of saliva secreted decreased with aging and the oral environment deteriorated. Eight weeks after the start of the study, differences in salivary secretion volume and oral bacteria were observed in the OC group, to which NMN was not administered, compared to the YC group. On the other hand, the ON group to which NMN was administered showed no difference from the YC group in the amount of saliva secreted and the number of oral bacteria. In other words, administration of NMN to aged mice showed salivary secretion and oral bacterial counts equivalent to those of young mice, and it was clarified that the oral environment, which had deteriorated with age, was improved. .
試験2(臨床試験)
[方法]
1)摂取物
 被験者に摂取してもらうβ-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide(NMN)は、Bontac社製を使用し、1粒あたり600 mgのチュアブル錠(NMN 250 mg、マルチトース 229 mg、ステアリン酸カルシウム 12 mg、結晶化セルロース 89.9 mg、ゲル化剤 12 mg、アセスルファムカリウム 0.2 mg、スクラロース 0.9 mg、香料 6 mg)に成形した。チュアブル錠を1日1回朝食前に摂取してもらい、1日あたりのNMN摂取量は250 mgとした。
Study 2 (clinical study)
[Method]
1) Ingested material The β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) to be ingested by the subjects was manufactured by Bontac, and 600 mg chewable tablets (NMN 250 mg, maltitose 229 mg, calcium stearate 12 mg, crystallized Cellulose 89.9 mg, gelling agent 12 mg, acesulfame potassium 0.2 mg, sucralose 0.9 mg, fragrance 6 mg). They were asked to take chewable tablets once daily before breakfast, and the daily intake of NMN was 250 mg.
2)被験者
 健康状態に異常が見られない50歳代の男女8名(男性5名、女性3名)を試験に参加してもらった。試験は前後比較としたため、被験者は全員NMNのチュアブル錠を2週間摂取した。
2) Subjects Eight males and females in their 50s (5 males and 3 females) with no abnormal health conditions were asked to participate in the test. Since the study was a before-and-after comparison, all subjects took NMN chewable tablets for two weeks.
3)唾液分泌量の測定
 NMN摂取前(pre)及び摂取開始から2週間後(post)に被験者全員から唾液を採取して分泌量を測定した。唾液の採取は、9:30から10:00の間に実施して、唾液採取の1時間前から水を除き飲食を禁止した。唾液採取5分前に水で口をゆすぎ、座ってリラックスしてもらった。唾液採取時は、椅子に座った状態で少し前かがみの姿勢で5分間自然に分泌されてくる唾液を専用の容器に採取した。採取後、液量を測定して1分あたりの唾液分泌量を算出した。
3) Measurement of salivary secretion amount Saliva was collected from all the subjects before (pre) and two weeks after the start of ingestion (post) of NMN, and the secretion amount was measured. Saliva collection was performed between 9:30 and 10:00, and no food or drink except water was allowed for 1 hour before saliva collection. Five minutes before saliva collection, they rinsed their mouths with water and sat down to relax. At the time of saliva collection, the subjects were seated on a chair and slouched slightly forward, and the saliva that was naturally secreted for 5 minutes was collected in a dedicated container. After collection, the amount of fluid was measured and the amount of saliva secreted per minute was calculated.
4)唾液中細菌数の測定
 採取した唾液を使用して、唾液中細菌数を測定した。唾液は生理食塩水で希釈後、LB agar Lennoxに100 μL塗抹し、37℃、好気下で20時間培養した。培養後、コロニー数をカウントして生菌数(cfu/mL-唾液)を算出した。
4) Measurement of Bacterial Count in Saliva Using the collected saliva, the bacterial count in saliva was measured. After diluting the saliva with physiological saline, 100 µL of the saliva was smeared on LB agar Lennox and cultured at 37°C under aerobic conditions for 20 hours. After culturing, the number of colonies was counted to calculate the number of viable bacteria (cfu/mL-saliva).
[結果]
1)唾液分泌量
 NMN摂取前と比較して摂取後では唾液分泌量が有意に増加した(図3A)。また、被験者8名のうち7名でNMN摂取後に唾液分泌量が増加していた。
[result]
1) Amount of salivary secretion The amount of salivary secretion increased significantly after ingestion compared to before ingestion of NMN (Fig. 3A). In addition, 7 out of 8 subjects showed an increase in salivary secretion after ingesting NMN.
2)唾液中細菌数
 NMN摂取前と比較して摂取後では唾液中細菌数が有意に減少した(図3B)。また、被験者8名のうち7名でNMN摂取後に唾液中細菌数が減少していた。
2) Number of bacteria in saliva The number of bacteria in saliva decreased significantly after ingestion compared to before ingestion of NMN (Fig. 3B). In addition, 7 out of 8 subjects showed a decrease in the number of bacteria in saliva after ingesting NMN.
[考察]
 NMN摂取前と摂取後で唾液分泌量の増加と唾液中細菌数の減少が見られた。この結果から、NMNを摂取することで唾液腺の機能を向上させている可能性が示唆された。加えて、唾液中細菌数が減少していることから、唾液中の抗菌物質が増加している可能性も考えられた。おそらくチュアブル錠として摂取したNMNが、口腔内や腸管より吸収されて血液を介して唾液腺組織に到達し、Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)に変換されてサーチュインやPoly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1(PARP1)の基質となることで、唾液腺の機能が向上したと推察された。
[Discussion]
An increase in salivary secretion and a decrease in the number of bacteria in saliva were observed before and after NMN intake. These results suggested that ingestion of NMN may improve the function of salivary glands. In addition, the number of bacteria in saliva decreased, suggesting the possibility of an increase in antibacterial substances in saliva. NMN, probably ingested as a chewable tablet, is absorbed from the oral cavity and intestinal tract, reaches salivary gland tissue via blood, and is converted to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is converted into sirtuins and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). It was inferred that the function of salivary glands was improved by becoming a substrate for
結論
 マウス及びヒトを対象とした試験にて、NMNの摂取により口腔環境が改善することを明らかとした。本発明は、老齢化が進行する世界で高齢者のQOLを向上させるために有用である。
Conclusion It was clarified that the oral environment was improved by ingestion of NMN in the studies on mice and humans. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is useful for improving the QOL of elderly people in an aging world.
評価例2:口渇モデルを用いたNMNによる唾液分泌への影響評価
 唾液の分泌量は医薬品(特に抗コリン作用を有する医薬品)の摂取により減少することが報告されている。そこで、抗コリン作用が明らかとされている医薬品のひとつであるアミトリプチリン(抗うつ薬)を投与することにより作出した口渇モデルマウスを用いて、NMNを事前に投与することにより唾液分泌量に影響を与えるか否かを検証した。
Evaluation Example 2: Evaluation of the effect of NMN on salivary secretion using a dry mouth model It has been reported that the amount of salivary secretion is reduced by ingestion of pharmaceuticals (especially pharmaceuticals having anticholinergic action). Therefore, using thirst model mice created by administering amitriptyline (an antidepressant), one of the drugs whose anticholinergic action has been clarified, the amount of salivary secretion was affected by prior administration of NMN. It was verified whether or not to give
[方法]
1) 投与物
 マウスに投与するβ-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide(NMN)は、Bontac社製を使用し、生理食塩水に溶解後マウス皮下投与した。投与用量は300 mg/kg、投与容量は10 mL/kgに設定し、投与濃度は30 mg/mLになった。また、アミトリプチリン塩酸塩(アミトリプチリン塩酸塩はSigma Aldrich、東京化成工業から購入可能である)は、蒸留水に溶解しマウスに強制経口投与した。投与用量は10 mg/kg、投与容量は10 mL/kgに設定し、投与濃度は1 mg/mLになった。
[Method]
1) Administration material β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) to be administered to mice was manufactured by Bontac, and was subcutaneously administered to mice after being dissolved in physiological saline. The administration dose was set at 300 mg/kg, the administration volume was set at 10 mL/kg, and the administration concentration was 30 mg/mL. In addition, amitriptyline hydrochloride (amitriptyline hydrochloride can be purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Tokyo Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was dissolved in distilled water and administered to mice by gavage. The administration dose was set at 10 mg/kg, the administration volume was set at 10 mL/kg, and the administration concentration was 1 mg/mL.
2) 動物
 マウスは雄性で12週齢、C57BL/6J系統を24匹購入した。マウスは、室温22±2℃、湿度55±15%、明期7時~19時、暗期19時~7時の飼育室で、群飼育(4匹/ケージ)で試験終了まで飼育を行った。また、飼料と水は制限せず自由に摂取させた。予備飼育終了後、体重の平均値が均等となるように1群8匹の3群(無処置群:NT群、薬剤処置群:A群、薬剤処置+NMN群:AN群)に群分けした。群分け後、AN群にはNMN溶液、NT及びA群には生理食塩水(溶媒)の皮下投与を開始した。皮下投与は、1日1回の頻度で試験終了日までの8日間、計8回実施した。なお、試験終了日は唾液分泌量の測定3時間前に皮下投与を実施した。
2) Animals We purchased 24 male, 12-week-old C57BL/6J strain mice. Mice were reared in groups (4 mice/cage) until the end of the test in a breeding room with room temperature of 22±2°C, humidity of 55±15%, light period from 7:00 to 19:00 and dark period from 19:00 to 7:00. rice field. Feed and water were allowed to be taken freely without restriction. After preliminary breeding, the animals were divided into 3 groups of 8 animals per group (non-treated group: NT group, drug-treated group: A group, drug-treated + NMN group: AN group) so that the average body weight was even. . After the grouping, subcutaneous administration of NMN solution to AN group and physiological saline (vehicle) to NT and A groups was started. Subcutaneous administration was performed once a day for 8 days until the end of the test, 8 times in total. On the test termination day, subcutaneous administration was performed 3 hours before the measurement of salivary secretion.
3) 唾液分泌量の測定
 試験開始8日目に全個体より唾液を採取した。最後の皮下投与後から絶食し(唾液採取3時間前)、唾液採取1時間前にアミトリプチリン水溶液をA及びAN群、蒸留水(溶媒)をNT群に強制経口投与した。強制経口投与後から絶水も実施した。強制経口投与から1時間後、三種混合麻酔薬(ドミトール、ベトルファール、ミダゾラム)を10 mL/kgの容量で腹腔内投与してマウスに麻酔をかけた。深麻酔下に陥るまでマウスを約5分間放置し、ピロカルピン塩酸塩を0.5 mg/kg(5 mL/kg)の用量で腹腔内投与した。マウスの口を上に向けるように寝かせて口を開かせ、ピロカルピン投与から15分間マウスの口腔内に分泌された唾液をキャピラリー(Hirschmann Laborgerate社製)を用いて採取した。採取した唾液は分泌量(μL)を測定した(1 mgを1 μLと換算)。唾液分泌量は、1分あたりの分泌量をマウスの体重で補正して算出した。
3) Measurement of salivary secretion amount Saliva was collected from all animals on the 8th day after the start of the test. After the last subcutaneous administration, food was fasted (3 hours before saliva collection), and 1 hour before saliva collection, amitriptyline aqueous solution was forcibly administered to the A and AN groups, and distilled water (vehicle) to the NT group. Water deprivation was also performed after gavage administration. One hour after oral gavage, the mice were anesthetized by an intraperitoneal injection of a triple anesthetic (Domitol, Betorfal, Midazolam) at a volume of 10 mL/kg. Mice were left to fall under deep anesthesia for approximately 5 minutes, and pilocarpine hydrochloride was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (5 mL/kg). The mice were laid with their mouths facing upward and opened, and saliva secreted into the oral cavity of the mice was collected using a capillary (manufactured by Hirschmann Laborgerate) for 15 minutes after administration of pilocarpine. The amount of saliva secreted (μL) was measured (converting 1 mg to 1 μL). The amount of saliva secreted was calculated by correcting the amount of saliva secreted per minute by the body weight of the mouse.
[結果]
1) 唾液分泌量
 無処置群(NT群)と比較して薬剤処置群(A群)は唾液分泌量が有意に減少していた。一方で、NT群と薬剤処置+NMN群(AN群)では唾液分泌量に差は見られなかった。A群とAN群の唾液分泌量では差が見られなかったものの、NMNを投与することによって唾液分泌量が増加する傾向が見られた(図4)。
[result]
1) Amount of salivary secretion The amount of salivary secretion was significantly decreased in the drug-treated group (Group A) compared to the non-treated group (NT group). On the other hand, there was no difference in saliva secretion between the NT group and the drug treatment + NMN group (AN group). Although there was no difference in the amount of salivary secretion between the A group and the AN group, administration of NMN tended to increase salivary secretion (Fig. 4).
 [考察]
  通常のマウスにアミトリプチリンを10 mg/kgの用量で唾液採取1時間前に投与することで、唾液分泌量が有意に減少した(NT群とA群の比較)。一方で、NMNを唾液採取の8日前から300 mg/kgの用量で皮下投与することにより、アミトリプチリンの投与により減少する唾液分泌量を増加させることができた。NMNを投与することで、唾液腺組織中のNAD+量の増加に伴いATP産生が促進され、唾液分泌に関わるトランスポーターやイオンチャネルなどの活性化につながったのではないかと推測された。
[Discussion]
Administration of amitriptyline at a dose of 10 mg/kg to normal mice 1 hour before saliva collection significantly decreased salivary secretion (comparison between NT and A groups). On the other hand, subcutaneous administration of NMN at a dose of 300 mg/kg starting 8 days before saliva collection increased salivary secretion, which was decreased by administration of amitriptyline. It was speculated that administration of NMN promoted ATP production as the amount of NAD+ in salivary gland tissue increased, leading to the activation of transporters and ion channels involved in salivary secretion.
結論
 薬剤摂取による唾液分泌量の減少を、NMNを投与することにより改善できることを明らかとした。本発明は、副作用として抗コリン効果を有する薬剤を摂取している患者のQOLを向上させるために有用である。
Conclusion It was clarified that the decrease in salivary secretion due to drug intake can be improved by administering NMN. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is useful for improving the QOL of patients taking drugs having anticholinergic effects as side effects.
