Description
本発明は、エンドセリン−1mRNA発現上昇抑制剤、幹細胞増殖因子mRNA発現上昇抑制剤、塩基性線維芽細胞増殖因子mRNA発現上昇抑制剤及びプロオピオメラノコルチンmRNA発現上昇抑制剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an endothelin-1 mRNA expression increase inhibitor, a stem cell growth factor mRNA expression increase inhibitor, a basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA expression increase inhibitor, and a proopiomelanocortin mRNA expression increase inhibitor.
シミ、ソバカス、日焼け後の皮膚色素沈着症等は、皮膚内に存在する色素細胞(メラノサイト)が活性化することにより、メラニンの産生が著しく亢進した結果として生じるものであり、中高年齢層における肌の悩みの一つになっている。 Spots, buckwheat, skin pigmentation after sunburn, etc. occur as a result of markedly increased production of melanin due to activation of pigment cells (melanocytes) present in the skin. It has become one of the troubles.
従来の美白剤開発は、メラニン生成の律速酵素であるチロシナーゼに注力して進められてきたが、近年、紫外線UV−B照射後に表皮ケラチノサイトから産生され、メラノサイトを活性化するサイトカインとして、α−メラノサイト刺激ホルモン(α−MSH)、エンドセリン−1、一酸化窒素(NO)等が知られており、これらが関与する情報伝達系を遮断することによりメラニンの産生を抑制して美白効果を導く各種作用剤の開発が盛んに行われてきている。 The development of conventional whitening agents has been focused on tyrosinase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme for melanin production. Recently, α-melanocyte is produced as a cytokine that is produced from epidermal keratinocytes after UV-B irradiation and activates melanocytes. Stimulating hormone (α-MSH), endothelin-1, nitric oxide (NO), etc. are known, and various actions leading to the whitening effect by inhibiting the production of melanin by blocking the information transmission system involved. The development of agents has been actively conducted.
また、循環器系疾患(例えば、心筋梗塞、高血圧、虚血性心疾患等)や腎疾患(例えば、急性腎不全等)の患者において、血中エンドセリン−1濃度が上昇していることが知られているため、エンドセリン−1の過剰分泌を抑制すること、すなわちエンドセリン−1mRNAの発現上昇を抑制することによって、これらの疾患の予防・治療効果が期待できると考えられる。 It is also known that blood endothelin-1 levels are elevated in patients with cardiovascular diseases (eg, myocardial infarction, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, etc.) and renal diseases (eg, acute renal failure). Therefore, it is considered that the prevention / treatment effect of these diseases can be expected by suppressing the excessive secretion of endothelin-1, that is, suppressing the increase in the expression of endothelin-1 mRNA.
このような考えに基づき、エンドセリン−1のメラノサイトへの作用を阻害する生薬としては、カミツレ抽出物・アルテア抽出物(非特許文献1参照)等が知られており、表皮ケラチノサイトからのエンドセリン−1産生を抑制する生薬としては、ジユ抽出物(非特許文献1参照)、β−グリチルレチン酸ステアリル(特許文献1参照)等が知られている。 Based on this idea, chamomile extract, artea extract (see Non-Patent Document 1) and the like are known as herbal medicines that inhibit the action of endothelin-1 on melanocytes, and endothelin-1 from epidermal keratinocytes is known. Known herbal medicines that suppress the production include citrus extract (see Non-patent Document 1), β-glycyrrhetinic acid stearyl (see Patent Document 1), and the like.
幹細胞増殖因子(Stem Cell Factor,SCF)は、Mast Cell Growth Factor、C-Kit Ligand、Steel Factor等とも呼ばれ、角化細胞、線維芽細胞、血管内皮細胞、骨髄ストローマ細胞等から産生されるタンパク質である。SCFは、多能性造血幹細胞、生殖細胞、肥満細胞、巨核球系前駆細胞、顆粒球・マクロファージ系前駆細胞、色素細胞等の増殖や分化を促進する作用を有することが知られている。また、SCFは、シミ部位や紫外線照射等によって発現が亢進することが知られている(非特許文献2参照)。 Stem cell factor (SCF), also called Mast Cell Growth Factor, C-Kit Ligand, Steel Factor, etc., is a protein produced from keratinocytes, fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, bone marrow stromal cells, etc. It is. SCF is known to have an action of promoting proliferation and differentiation of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, germ cells, mast cells, megakaryocyte precursor cells, granulocyte / macrophage precursor cells, pigment cells and the like. Moreover, it is known that the expression of SCF is enhanced by a spot site, ultraviolet irradiation or the like (see Non-Patent Document 2).
SCFとしては、273のアミノ酸残基からなる膜結合型SCFと、タンパク質分解酵素の作用により切断され、膜から遊離する分泌型SCFとが知られている。膜結合型SCFは、角化細胞等に結合したまま色素細胞のSCFレセプターに結合し、色素細胞の増殖を促進する。また、分泌型SCFは、その結合部位にて切断され、細胞膜から遊離し、色素細胞のSCFレセプターに結合することによって、色素細胞の増殖を促進する。さらに、SCFは、急性骨髄性白血病患者において、インターロイキン−3(Interleukin-3,IL−3)や顆粒球・マクロファージ・コロニー刺激因子(Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor,GM−CSF)の共存下で骨髄芽球の増殖を促進することが知られている(非特許文献3参照)。 As SCF, a membrane-bound SCF composed of 273 amino acid residues and a secreted SCF that is cleaved by the action of a proteolytic enzyme and released from the membrane are known. Membrane-bound SCF binds to the SCF receptor of the pigment cell while bound to keratinocytes and promotes the proliferation of the pigment cell. Secreted SCF is cleaved at the binding site, released from the cell membrane, and bound to the SCF receptor of the pigment cell, thereby promoting proliferation of the pigment cell. Furthermore, SCF is a bone marrow in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the presence of interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). It is known to promote the proliferation of blasts (see Non-Patent Document 3).
塩基性線維芽細胞増殖因子(basic Fibroblast Growth Factor,bFGF)は、FGF−2とも呼ばれ、紫外線照射により角化細胞からの遊離が促進され、遊離されたbFGFが色素細胞に作用してメラニン合成を促進し、かつ色素細胞の細胞分裂をも促進すると考えられている(非特許文献4参照)。また、bFGFは、血管新生促進因子として知られており、腫瘍細胞(特に、悪性腫瘍細胞)における血管新生を促進すること等が知られている。 Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), also called FGF-2, is released from keratinocytes by UV irradiation, and the released bFGF acts on pigment cells to synthesize melanin. It is thought that this also promotes cell division of pigment cells (see Non-Patent Document 4). Further, bFGF is known as an angiogenesis promoting factor, and is known to promote angiogenesis in tumor cells (particularly malignant tumor cells).
そのため、SCF及びbFGFの異常産生は、色素細胞の異常増殖につながり、メラニン産生を亢進させ、シミ、ソバカス、くすみ等の原因となると考えられる。また、SCFの異常産生は、骨髄芽球の異常増殖につながり、それにより骨髄異形成症候群、急性骨髄性白血病(AML)等の疾患を引き起こすものと考えられ、bFGFの異常産生は、腫瘍細胞における血管新生を促進し、それにより腫瘍細胞の増殖につながるものと考えられる。 Therefore, abnormal production of SCF and bFGF may lead to abnormal proliferation of pigment cells, increase melanin production, and cause stains, freckles, dullness, and the like. In addition, abnormal production of SCF is thought to lead to abnormal proliferation of myeloblasts, thereby causing diseases such as myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and abnormal production of bFGF occurs in tumor cells. It is thought to promote angiogenesis, thereby leading to the growth of tumor cells.
したがって、SCFmRNA及びbFGFmRNAの発現上昇を抑制することは、色素細胞の増殖を抑制し、皮膚におけるメラニンの過剰産生を抑制し、日焼け後の色素沈着、シミ、ソバカス等の予防又は抑制に有用であると考えられる。また、SCFの発現上昇を抑制することは、骨髄芽球の異常増殖を抑制し、骨髄異形成症候群、急性骨髄性白血病等の予防又は治療に有用であると考えられ、bFGFの発現上昇を抑制することは、腫瘍細胞における血管新生を抑制し、腫瘍細胞の増殖を抑制することで、がん治療等に有用であると考えられる。 Therefore, suppressing the increase in expression of SCF mRNA and bFGF mRNA suppresses pigment cell proliferation, suppresses excessive production of melanin in the skin, and is useful for prevention or suppression of pigmentation, sun spots, buckwheat etc. after sunburn. it is conceivable that. Moreover, suppressing the increase in the expression of SCF suppresses the abnormal proliferation of myeloblasts and is considered useful for the prevention or treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, etc., and suppresses the increase in the expression of bFGF.

カランボラフラボンは、スターフルーツから単離することができるが、スターフルーツ以外の植物にも存在する可能性がある。したがって、カランボラフラボンの単離源は、スターフルーツに限定されるものではなく、カランボラフラボンを含有するいずれの植物を用いてもよい。 Carambola flavones can be isolated from star fruit, but may also be present in plants other than star fruit. Therefore, the source of isolation of carambola flavones is not limited to star fruit, and any plant containing carambola flavones may be used.

Among these, it is preferable to use a leaf part as an extraction raw material especially, and these may be used independently and may be used together. Here, the “leaf part” includes not only a complete leaf but also a part of the leaf (eg, leaf blade, petiole, cocoon leaf, leaf sheath, etc.). Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) belongs to the family Oxalis, fresh fruit is edible, and the fruit is called star fruit because its cross section is star-shaped. Star fruit is cultivated in Okinawa, southeastern China, Yunnan and other tropical regions, and can be easily obtained from these regions.
スターフルーツ抽出物は、抽出原料を乾燥した後、そのまま又は粗砕機を用いて粉砕し、抽出溶媒による抽出に供することにより得ることができる。乾燥は天日で行ってもよいし、通常使用される乾燥機を用いて行ってもよい。また、ヘキサン等の非極性溶媒によって脱脂等の前処理を施してから抽出原料として使用してもよい。脱脂等の前処理を行うことにより、スターフルーツの極性溶媒による抽出処理を効率よく行うことができる。 The star fruit extract can be obtained by drying an extraction raw material, pulverizing the raw material as it is or using a crusher, and subjecting it to extraction with an extraction solvent.
