Description

【0001】
【発明の技術分野】
本発明は、血圧低下剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、発酵乳が種々の生理活性作用を示すことが知られているが、発酵乳中の如何なる成分が活性に関与しているかはあまり確認されていない(例えば、特許文献1〜3参照)。
一方、カゼインのトリプシン、ペプシン等の酵素分解物が、例えば血圧低下活性、カルシウム可溶化活性等の生理活性を示すことも知られているが、発酵乳中に含まれるペプチド及びそのペプチドの機能に関してはほとんど知られていないのが現状である。
乳酸菌は、乳中で生育し、菌体外プロティナーゼを産生し、カゼイン等の乳蛋白質を分解すると考えられており、最近、乳酸菌産生プロティナーゼによるカゼインの切断部位について一部報告がなされている(例えば、非特許文献1〜2参照)。
しかしながら、前記カゼインの切断部位に関しては、未だ不明な点が多く、生成ペプチドの生理機能に関する報告はなされていない。
また従来カゼインをトリプシン、ペプシン等により分解して得られるペプチドは、苦味の生成が大きな問題となっている。

実施例1
ラクトバチルスヘルベティカスJCM-1003を、9重量%の脱脂乳中でpHを6.0に保ち培養し、濁度(590nmの吸収度)1.0において、クエン酸ナトリウムを1重量%添加し室温にて20分間保持した。次に5000回転、20分間の遠心分離を行い集菌し、20mM塩化カルシウム、50mMβ-グリセロリン酸ナトリウム緩衝液(pH8.0)で洗浄した後、50mMトリス-塩酸(pH8.0)を50ml加えて37℃で、30分間保温、抽出した。次いで10000回転、10分間の遠心を行い上清液を採取した。同じ操作を合計4回行い上清液約200mlを採集した(粗抽出液)。この粗抽出液を、予め5mMエチレンジアミンテトラ酢酸溶液(EDTA)、20mMトリス-塩酸緩衝液(pH7.8、TE緩衝液)で平衡化したDEAE-セファロースカラム(5ml)に通した。カラムを0.3Mの塩化ナトリウムを含むTE緩衝液30mlで洗浄後、1.0M塩化ナトリウムを含むTE緩衝液15mlで溶出し、この活性画分(溶出画分)から約150μgの乳酸菌産生プロティナーゼをほぼ単一なものとして得た。
【0016】
次に、20mMのリン酸緩衝液(pH7.5)に溶解したカゼイン1gを上記得られたプロティナーゼあるいは比較としてトリプシン(和光純薬株式会社製)50μgと混合し、40℃で5時間反応させた。それぞれの反応液を10000回転、10分間の遠心後、限外ろ過(商品名「アドバンテック東洋UHP-150」、限外ろ過膜:分子量分画10000、富士フィルター工業株式会社製)を行ったところ、カゼイン1gからプロティナーゼ分解ペプチド約700mg(収率約70%)とトリプシン分解ペプチド約800mg(収率約80%)のペプチドがろ過外液中に得られた。
【0017】
次いで得られたカゼイン分解ペプチド混合物を用いて、自然発症高血圧ラット(SHRラット、日本チャールズリバー社)に対する血圧降下作用を調べた。15週令雄ラット(1群5匹)に上記カゼイン分解ペプチド各々を胃ゾンデで強制投与(各140mg/kg)し、未投与群と血圧の経時変化を比較した。血圧測定は、非観血式血圧測定装置(商品名「PE-300」、ナルコバイオシステム社製)を用い、tail-cuff法で最高血圧を求めた。結果を図1に示す。
【0018】
図1の結果より本発明の有効成分を含むペプチドが、経口投与により約4〜7時間後において有意に血圧低下作用を示す事が確認された。トリプシン分解ペプチドには、このような強い効果は認められなかった。
【0019】
実施例2

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blood pressure low laxative.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, it is known that fermented milk exhibits various physiologically active actions, but it has not been confirmed that what components in fermented milk are involved in the activity (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).
On the other hand, it is also known that casein trypsin, pepsin and other enzymatic degradation products exhibit physiological activities such as blood pressure lowering activity, calcium solubilizing activity, etc., but regarding peptides contained in fermented milk and functions of the peptides Is currently unknown.
Lactic acid bacteria are considered to grow in milk, produce extracellular proteinases, and degrade milk proteins such as casein. Recently, some reports have been made on the cleavage sites of casein by lactic acid bacteria-producing proteinases (for example, Non-patent documents 1 and 2).
However, there are still many unclear points regarding the cleavage site of the casein, and no report has been made on the physiological function of the produced peptide.
Conventionally, peptides obtained by degrading casein with trypsin, pepsin or the like have a big problem of generating bitterness.

Next, collect the cells by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes, wash with 20 mM calcium chloride, 50 mM β-glycerophosphate sodium buffer (pH 8.0), and then add 50 ml of 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid (pH 8.0). Incubated at 37 ° C. for 30 minutes for extraction. Next, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The same operation was performed a total of 4 times, and about 200 ml of the supernatant was collected (crude extract). This crude extract was passed through a DEAE-Sepharose column (5 ml) previously equilibrated with 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution (EDTA) and 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.8, TE buffer). The column was washed with 30 ml of TE buffer containing 0.3 M sodium chloride, and then eluted with 15 ml of TE buffer containing 1.0 M sodium chloride, and about 150 μg of lactic acid bacteria-producing proteinase was almost isolated from this active fraction (elution fraction). Obtained as one.
[0016]
Next, 1 g of casein dissolved in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) was mixed with 50 μg of the proteinase obtained above or trypsin (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) as a comparison, and reacted at 40 ° C. for 5 hours. . Each reaction solution was centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes and then subjected to ultrafiltration (trade name “Advantech Toyo UHP-150”, ultrafiltration membrane: molecular weight fraction 10000, manufactured by Fuji Filter Industry Co., Ltd.) From 1 g of casein, about 700 mg of proteinase-degrading peptide (yield about 70%) and about 800 mg of trypsin-degrading peptide (yield about 80%) were obtained in the filtrate.
[0017]
Next, using the obtained casein-degrading peptide mixture, the blood pressure lowering effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR rats, Charles River Japan) was examined. Each of the above casein-degrading peptides was forcibly administered to a 15-week-old male rat (5 mice per group) with a gastric sonde (140 mg / kg each), and the time course of blood pressure was compared with that of the non-administered group. For blood pressure measurement, a non-invasive blood pressure measuring device (trade name “PE-300”, manufactured by Nalco Biosystems) was used to determine the maximum blood pressure by the tail-cuff method. The results are shown in Figure 1.

Example 2
The casein degradation product decomposed with proteinase obtained in Example 1 was further purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In the purification, a casein decomposition product was passed through a column (M & S PACK C-18, 0.46φ × 150 mm) packed with a reverse phase resin, washed with a 0.1 wt% TFA aqueous solution, and then 0.1 wt% TFA aqueous solution to 0.06 wt% TFA. / (Acetonitrile: isopropanol = 3: 7) solution was eluted with a linear concentration gradient up to 60%. The flow rate was 1 ml / min and the concentration gradient was 1% / min. Each major absorption peak at 215 nm was collected. Further, the solvent was removed from each of these peptides, and further purification was performed by rechromatography under the same conditions. For each peptide, acetonitrile was removed under reduced pressure, and the peptide was obtained by lyophilization. These peptides were hydrolyzed with 6N hydrochloric acid at 120 ° C. for 24 hours and subjected to amino acid analysis (high-speed amino acid analyzer, trade name “MLC-203 type”, manufactured by Ato Co., Ltd.). The position in α-casein and β-casein was identified by amino acid analysis. It was confirmed that these peptides were α-1 to 8 and β-1 to 15 shown in Table 1 in the order of HPLC elution for each α-casein. The blood pressure lowering activity (ACEI activity), calcium solubilizing activity (CS activity) and antioxidant activity (SOD-like activity) of these peptides and the casein degradation product (peptide mixture) degraded with the proteinase prepared in Example 1 are as follows. It measured according to the method shown in. For comparison, the activities of α-casein and β-casein trypsin degradation products were similarly examined. The results are shown in Table 2.
