  • the present invention also relates to the process for preparing the extracts from the seeds of Eugenia jambolana plant.
  • Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that is characterized by low bone mass and micro- architectural deterioration of bone tissue. Affecting 200 million individuals world-wide, osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder which leads to an increased level of bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture (Walker-bone, et al. 2002; Lin and Lane, 2004). A. Classification of Osteoporosis Based on its etiology, osteoporosis is categorized as a primary or secondary disease.
  • osteoporosis involves the onset of osteoporosis as a result of an existing condition such as an endocrine disorder, the use of certain medications, a hematopoietic disorder, immobilization, or a nutritional, gastrointestinal or connective tissue disorder (Lin and Lane, 2004).
  • Primary osteoporosis is further subdivided into two types. Type I generally occurs in postmenopausal women and is attributed to loss of gonadal hormone function, such as estrogen deficiency associated with menopause (Lin and Lane, 2004; Simon, 2004).
  • Type II osteoporosis generally called as senile osteoporosis is age-related, affecting both men and women over the age of 60.
  • Bone and Lane 2004 Through the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD; in g/cm 2) using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), the World Health Organization has defined osteoporosis as a BMD more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean of normal, healthy individuals at their peak bone mass (Lin and Lane, 2004; Simon, 2004; Christodoulou and Cooper, 2003).
  • BMD bone mineral density
  • DEXA dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
  • Bone remodeling occurs at specific sites on the bone surface known as basic multicellular units and is carried out by osteoclasts (bone resorption cells) and osteoblasts (bone formation cells) (Tolstoi 2004, Manolagas and Weinstein, 1999).
  • Both osteoblasts and osteoclasts are derived from precursors originating in the bone marrow and the formation and activation of these cells is regulated by cytokines and growth factors also produced in the bone marrow, which are in turn controlled by systemsic factors and mechanical stimuli (Manolagas and Weinstein 1999).
  • the bone remodeling cycle is highly dependent on a delicate balance between regulatory signaling and cellular activity. Loss of the capacity to recruit active osteoblasts or deactivate osteoclasts results in a net bone loss and can lead to the onset of osteoporosis. ///.
  • osteoporosis Although numerous risk factors have been identified to increase the likelihood of developing this disease, including Caucasian race, advanced age, female gender, history of fracture, smoking and alcoholism, the exact cause of osteoporosis has not yet been identified. Despite this, numerous theories have been proposed in an attempt to explain its etiology. Some theories regarding the etiology of osteoarthritis include bone cell senescence, lifestyle factors (primarily exercise and nutrition) and loss of vitamin D metabolism with age (Tsai, et al., 1984). The latter hypothesis infers that aging leads to an impaired metabolism of vitamin D. Activated vitamin D is a signaling molecule that is largely involved in the regulation of intestinal calcium absorption Tsai, et al., 1984).
  • antiresorptive drugs which slow the progressive thinning of bone
  • bone forming drugs which help to rebuild the skeleton
  • drugs with a more complex mechanism of action drugs used to treat osteoporosis.
  • calcium and vitamin D supplements might also be prescribed to ensure adequate intake and to ensure maximum effectiveness of the drug therapy.
  • Bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption. They are currently the first choice of treatment in a variety of bone metabolism disorders characterized by high bone resorption.
  • SERM Selective estrogen receptor modulators
  • a new drug has been approved for the treatment of osteoporosis - this time one that improves bone formation, as opposed to the action of available drugs that is usually the prevention or slowing bone resorption. It is teriparatide, a 34-amino-acid polypeptide produced by a recombinant DNA technique, which represents the biologically active part of human parathyroid hormone. It has to be given once daily by subcutaneous injection. They treat osteoporosis by stimulating bone-forming cells called osteoblasts. It has a dramatic effect on bone, increasing bone mineral density in the spine by as much as 13% in 18 months and reducing the risk of fracture by as much as 90%. The reason that patients are not using this drug is "cost". Forteo costs about $600 a month, and it also must be injected every day. For those reasons, it's generally only prescribed for patients with severe osteoporosis, or who have already had one or more fractures.

  • osteoclasts are largely derived from CD 14 positive monocytes (J.Haemotol, 1999 JuI; 106(l):167-70). Clonal analysis of haematopoietic cells by surface phenotypes has been used to further identify osteoclast precursor by characterizing osteoclast like cells distinct from other haematopoietic progenitors (Lee et.al; 1992b Muguruma & Lee; 1988). Surface phenotype analysis has shown that human osteoclasts are derived from CD 14 monocytes (Massey & Flanagan, 1999). CD 14 marker is strongly expressed on monocytes, the putative osteoclast precursor in peripheral blood and CD 14 positive monocytes have been selected for osteoclastogenesis.

  • Collagen type I is composed of linked type I collagen molecules, -with the amino- and carboxy-terminal regions of a type I collagen molecule linked to the helical region of adjacent collagen molecules through pyridinium cross-links, deoxypyridinoline (Dpd) and pyridinoline (Pyd).
  • Dpd deoxypyridinoline
  • Pyd pyridinoline
  • telopeptides consist of short peptide sequences from the helical domain of a type I molecule and the telopeptide region of an adjacent molecule, joined by a pyridinium cross-link (either Pyd or Dpd).
  • telopeptides released from bone are excreted unchanged in urine, and the remainder are metabolized by the liver and kidneys.
  • Commercial assays have been developed for 3 forms of collagen type I telopeptide: NTX, CTX, and ICTP (a slight variant of CTX).
  • the resorption process can be studied in vitro by culturing bone cells on devitalized slices of bone or dentin.
  • the osteoclasts were isolated as CD 14 positive monocytes and differentiated into osteoclasts for 10-12 days. Hereafter, the osteoclasts were lifted by trypsin, counted and seeded on bovine bone slices at a density of 40000 cells per bone slice. The osteoclasts were seeded on the bone slices for one day before the plant extracts were added. The osteoclasts were hereby allowed to attach and initiate resorption.
  • the plant extracts were added in two concentrations 1:10,000 and 1:100,000 dilutions because the toxicity study in the MC3T3 cells had shown that these concentrations were not toxic to the cells.
  • Bafilomycin is a V-ATPase blocker and it inhibits the osteoclastic bone resorption approximately 80% compared to DMSO (the negative control will be set to 100 % on the chart.
  • the bone resorption experiment was ended after 5 days of incubation and the cell viability was measured by the use of the AlamarBlue assay. Bone resorption was evaluated as the determination of the CTX release.
  • Plant extract AN09 which is Eugenia jambolana extract made with hexane, is not toxic at either dilution. However, the extract has a small inhibitory effect on the bone resorption at dilution 1:1000. AN09 inhibits bone resorption ⁇ 30% compared to the control at 1 :1000. Plant extract ANl 5, which is Eugenia jambolana extract made with acetone, is a little toxic at both dilution ( ⁇ 20% compared to the control) and the extract has no effect on bone resorption. Plant extract AN21, which is Eugenia jambolana extract made with water, has no effect on bone resorption.
  • MC3T3 cell lines were used for the bone formation studies. These cells are murine osteogenic mesenchymal precursor cells, which can be differentiated into osteoclasts by ascorbic acid and beta-glycerol phosphate.
  • the osteoblasts (MC3T3 cells) were seeded at a density of 75000 cells per well in 24 plates. The cells were culture for one day before the plant extracts were added. Then the osteoblasts were cultured for 14 days in medium supplemented with ascorbic acid and beta-glycerol phosphate (AA and bG) and in the presence of the plant extracts (1 :10,000 and 1:100,000 dilution)
  • BMP-2 bone morphogenic protein -2
  • BMP-2 is used as a positive control, while the treatment without ascorbic avid and beta-glycerol phosphate (without AA and bG) is the negative control.
  • BMP-2 induces the MC3T3 precursor cells to differentiate into osteoblasts and the ALP activity is induced compared to the negative control.
  • plant extract AN21 (dilution 1 : 10,000) has a positive osteogenic effect on the MC3T3 cells.
  • the ALP activity is a little higher for AN21 compared to the positive control, BMP-2.
  • AN21 was not toxic to the cells at any of the dilutions.
