Description

台灣綠蜂膠萃取物用於減緩患者病情發展之用途Taiwan green propolis extract is used to slow the development of patients' condition

本發明係關於含有台灣綠蜂膠萃取物減緩患者病情發展之用途。The present invention relates to the use of Taiwan green propolis extract to slow the progression of a patient's condition.

癌症是一種重大且惡性之疾病。隨著衛生條件改善,及人類壽命之延長,與科學診斷儀器之進步,癌症被診斷之病患數逐年增加。癌症病患除了手術以外,最常使用的治療方式是化學治療,化療藥物會使癌細胞停止生長或受到破壞,因此達到治療癌症的效果。化療藥物依照藥物的作用方式可分為:烷基化劑、抗代謝劑、位置異構酶抑制劑及微管抑制劑等。目前常用的抗癌藥物有脂質體阿黴素(liposomal doxorubicin)、托泊替康(topotecan;商品名Hycamtin)及太平洋紫杉醇(paclitaxel;商品名Taxol)等藥物。Cancer is a major and malignant disease. With the improvement of sanitary conditions, the extension of human life, and the advancement of scientific diagnostic instruments, the number of patients diagnosed with cancer has increased year by year. In addition to surgery, the most common treatment for cancer patients is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs can stop cancer cells from dying or being destroyed, thus achieving cancer treatment. Chemotherapy drugs can be classified according to the mode of action of the drugs: alkylating agents, antimetabolites, position isomerase inhibitors, and microtubule inhibitors. Currently commonly used anticancer drugs are liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan (trade name Hycamtin) and paclitaxel (trade name Taxol).

傳統之抗癌化療藥物效果有限,及引發顯著之副作用,造成病患生活品質下降,且病人之存活率提升有限。因此,許多新一代的抗癌標靶藥物被研發上市,這些抗癌標靶藥物具有顯著抗癌活性;同時擁有較低之副作用,但整體而言,其對病患壽命之延長仍難令人滿意。這些抗癌標靶藥物依作用機制不同可分為:血管新生抑制劑、酪氨酸激酶抑制劑、分化誘導劑及免疫治療劑等(Nygren P et al. J Intern Med. 2003;253(1): 46-75.)。The traditional anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs have limited effects and cause significant side effects, resulting in a decline in the quality of life of patients and a limited increase in the survival rate of patients. Therefore, many new generations of anti-cancer target drugs have been developed and marketed. These anti-cancer target drugs have significant anti-cancer activity; at the same time, they have lower side effects, but overall, their life extension is still difficult. satisfaction. These anti-cancer target drugs can be divided into: angiogenesis inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, differentiation inducers and immunotherapeutics according to different mechanisms of action (Nygren P et al . J Intern Med. 2003; 253(1) : 46-75.).

血管新生抑制劑(angiogenesis inhibitor)已有許多藥物上市,如貝伐單抗(bevacizumab;商品名Avastin)是人類單株抗體(Willett CG et al. Nat Med. 2004;10(2):145-7.);另一個是沙利多邁(thalidomide),是一種鎮靜劑,也是一種血管新生抑制劑(Bosch ME et al. J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2008;46(1):9-17.)。另一類為基質金屬蛋白水解酶(matrix metalloproteinase)抑制劑,如巴馬司他(Batimastat)及馬立馬司他(Marimastat)等藥物(Gialeli C et al. FEBS J. 2011;278(1):16-27.)。血管新生抑制劑主要是抑制腫瘤血管的生成,抑制腫瘤取得許多營養物質及移除廢棄物。腫瘤的成長若無血液養份源源不斷之供應,將無法成長。因此,抑制腫瘤血管之新生,將可有效抑制腫瘤生長,而達到抗癌之目的。Many drugs have been marketed for angiogenesis inhibitors, such as bevacizumab (trade name Avastin), which is a human monoclonal antibody (Willett CG et al . Nat Med. 2004; 10(2): 145-7 .); The other is thalidomide, a sedative and an angiogenesis inhibitor (Bosch ME et al . J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2008;46(1):9-17.). The other type is matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, such as Bamastat and Marimastat (Gialeli C et al . FEBS J. 2011;278(1):16 -27.). Angiogenesis inhibitors mainly inhibit the formation of tumor blood vessels, inhibit tumors from obtaining many nutrients and remove waste. If the tumor grows without a steady supply of blood nutrients, it will not grow. Therefore, inhibiting the neovascularization of tumors will effectively inhibit tumor growth and achieve anti-cancer purposes.

酪氨酸激酶抑制劑(tyrosine kinase inhibitor)(Soria JC et al. Ann Oncol. 2011.)已有超過10個藥物上市,包括吉非替尼(Gefitinib)、阿西替尼(Axitinib)、伯舒替尼(Bosutinib)、達沙替尼(Dasatinib)、厄洛替尼(Erlotinib)、凡德他尼(Vandetanib)、曲妥珠單抗(Trastuzumab;商品名Herceptin)、拉帕替尼(Lapatinib;商品名Xeloda)及伊馬替尼(Imatinib;商品名Gleevec)等藥物。這類藥物主要是抑制訊號傳遞,抑制癌細胞增生,而達到抗癌目標。格列衛(Gleevec)是這類藥物最先上市的,藥價相當昂貴。而這類藥物中最著名的,如EGF(Epidermal growth factor)家族接受器HER2/neu表現之乳癌,可以使用赫賽汀(Herceptin)來治療(Soria JC et al. Ann Oncol. 2011.)。目前研究也發現,此類藥物適合與其它機制之抗癌藥物合併使用,增加治療成效。More than 10 drugs have been marketed for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Soria JC et al. Ann Oncol. 2011.), including Gefitinib, Axitinib, and Boshu Bosutinib, Dasatinib, Erlotinib, Vandetanib, Trastuzumab (trade name Herceptin), Lapatinib (Lapatinib; Trade name Xeloda) and imatinib (Imatinib; trade name Gleevec) and other drugs. These drugs mainly inhibit signal transmission, inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and achieve anti-cancer goals. Gleevec is the first to market for these drugs, and the price is quite expensive. The most famous of these drugs, such as the EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) family receptor HER2/neu breast cancer, can be treated with Herceptin (Soria JC et al. Ann Oncol. 2011.). The current study also found that these drugs are suitable for use in combination with other mechanisms of anticancer drugs to increase treatment effectiveness.

分化誘導劑(differentiation inducer)包含二類。一類是全反式視黃酸(all trans retinoic acid,ATRA)主要用於血癌(Tsukada N et al. Intern Med. 1996;35(1):10-4.)。另一類是epigenetic調控劑,主要有DMT(DNA Methyltransferase)抑制劑及HDAC(Histone deacetylase)抑制劑二種(Lyko F et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2005;97(20):1498-506. and okmanovic M et al. Mol Cancer Res. 2007;5(10):981-9.)。DMT目前已有藥物上市包括有:氮胞嘧啶核苷(azacytidine;商品名Vidaza)及decitabine(商品名Dacogen)主要用於治療骨髓增生不良症候群(myelodysplastic syndrome;MDS)(Stresemann C et al. Int J Cancer. 2008;123(1):8-13.)。而HDAC抑制劑目前已有二個藥物上市,分別是羥胺酸(SAHA;商品名Zolinza)及伊斯托達(Istodax)被應用於治療皮膚T細胞淋巴癌(cutaneous T cell lymphoma;CTCL)(Duvic M et al. Blood. 2007;109(1):31-9.)。這類藥物可以調節癌細胞失控的表觀遺傳(epigenetic)作用;進而抑制癌細胞增生,促進癌細胞分化,或是誘導細胞自我凋亡而達到抗癌目的。Differentiation inducers contain two classes. One type is all trans retinoic acid (ATRA), which is mainly used for blood cancer (Tsukada N et al. Intern Med. 1996; 35(1): 10-4.). The other is epigenetic modulators, mainly DMT (DNA Methyltransferase) inhibitors and HDAC (Histone deacetylase) inhibitors (Lyko F et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2005; 97 (20): 1498-506. and okmanovic M et al. Mol Cancer Res. 2007; 5(10): 981-9.). DMT currently has drug listings including: azacytidine (trade name Vidaza) and decitabine (trade name Dacogen) for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (Stresemann C et al. Int J) Cancer. 2008;123(1):8-13.). HDAC inhibitors are currently available in two drugs, namely hydroxyglycolic acid (SAHA; trade name Zolinza) and Istodox (Istodax) for the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) (Duvic). M et al . Blood. 2007;109(1):31-9.). These drugs can regulate the epigenetic effects of cancer cells out of control; thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting cancer cell differentiation, or inducing cell self-apoptosis for anti-cancer purposes.

免疫治療劑(immunotherapy)目前已上市藥物為攝護腺癌疫苗(Provenge),主要是藉由病人自己的免疫力,用於攝護腺癌前期之治療(Small EJ et al. J Clin Oncol. 2000;18(23):3894-903.)。攝護腺癌是美國男性癌症排名第二位,在2009年,新診斷之病患數為192,000人;死亡人數為27,000人。Immunotherapy The currently marketed drug is the Provenge vaccine, which is mainly used for the treatment of precancerous prostate cancer by the patient's own immunity (Small EJ et al . J Clin Oncol. 2000). ;18(23):3894-903.). Prostate cancer ranks second in the United States for male cancer. In 2009, the number of newly diagnosed patients was 192,000; the death toll was 27,000.

以上四大類抗癌標靶藥物,雖然有顯著療效且有較低之副作用,然而,癌症病患之存活率仍無法大幅提高。因此,對於癌症治療而言,亟需開發更有效或是更低副作用的療法,以期增強抗癌功效並有效延長病患壽命,提升癌症病人之生活品質。Although the above four major anti-cancer target drugs have significant effects and have low side effects, the survival rate of cancer patients cannot be greatly improved. Therefore, for cancer treatment, it is urgent to develop a therapy with more effective or lower side effects, in order to enhance the anti-cancer effect and effectively prolong the life of the patient and improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

實例Instance

實例1:EF-2配方增進化療藥物之腫瘤生長抑制效果Example 1: EF-2 Formulation Improves Tumor Growth Inhibition Effect of Chemotherapeutic Drugs

圖1顯示EF-2配方與化療藥物合併使用之效果。單獨投予化療藥物太平洋紫杉醇或EF-2配方與化療藥物合併使用的組別腫瘤生長速度均受到顯著地抑制,在第4週測量時相較控制組分別有32%及40%的抑制;而從第4-6週的數據顯示出EF-2配方與化療藥物合併使用較單獨投予化療藥物太平洋紫杉醇增進9~13%之抑制效果。此結果顯示,化療藥物搭配EF-2配方對於抑制腫瘤生長優於單獨使用化療藥物。Figure 1 shows the effect of combining EF-2 formulation with a chemotherapeutic drug. The tumor growth rate of the combination of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel or the EF-2 formula and the chemotherapy drug was significantly inhibited, and the measurement at the 4th week was 32% and 40% inhibition compared with the control group, respectively; Data from weeks 4-6 showed that the combination of EF-2 formulation and chemotherapy drugs increased the inhibitory effect by 9-13% compared with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel alone. This result shows that chemotherapy drugs combined with EF-2 formula is superior to chemotherapy alone in inhibiting tumor growth.

實例2:台灣綠蜂膠萃取物之特異性免疫調節功效Example 2: Specific immunomodulatory efficacy of Taiwan green propolis extract

在誘發免疫細胞之細胞激素分泌的試驗中,結果顯示台灣綠蜂膠萃取物可增加免疫細胞在Con A刺激下的IL-2、TFN-α及IFN-γ分泌量,並降低IL-4分泌量(參見表1)。在使用卵白蛋白(OVA)進行免疫的小鼠中,台灣綠蜂膠萃取物可促進血清中特異性抗體OVA-IgG、OVA-IgG2a及OVA-IgM的生成(參見表2),且台灣綠蜂膠萃取物可促進T細胞CD4表現百分比,並在活化態表現上也具有明顯增加情形(參見表3)。In the test of cytokine secretion induced by immune cells, the results showed that Taiwan green propolis extract can increase the secretion of IL-2, TFN-α and IFN-γ in immune cells stimulated by Con A, and reduce the secretion of IL-4. (See Table 1). In mice immunized with ovalbumin (OVA), Taiwan green propolis extract promoted the production of specific antibodies OVA-IgG, OVA-IgG2a and OVA-IgM in serum (see Table 2), and Taiwan green propolis extract The substance can promote the percentage of CD4 expression in T cells and also has a significant increase in the activation state (see Table 3).

實例3:台灣綠蜂膠萃取物之非特異性免疫調節功效Example 3: Non-specific immunomodulatory efficacy of Taiwan green propolis extract

在此試驗中,結果顯示台灣綠蜂膠萃取物可增加免疫細胞在Con A刺激下的IL-2、IFN-γ及分泌量,並調節TFN-α及IL-4分泌量(參見表4),並可促進自然殺手細胞的活性(參見表5),同時提升血清抗體IgM含量(參見表6)。因此,台灣綠蜂膠萃取物具有調節免疫功能中非特異性免疫能力之功效。In this experiment, the results showed that Taiwan green propolis extract can increase the IL-2, IFN-γ and secretion of immune cells under Con A stimulation, and regulate the secretion of TFN-α and IL-4 (see Table 4). It also promotes the activity of natural killer cells (see Table 5) while increasing serum antibody IgM content (see Table 6). Therefore, Taiwan green propolis extract has the effect of regulating non-specific immunity in immune function.

實例4:EF-1配方無毒性並可抑制乳癌腫瘤生長Example 4: EF-1 formulation is non-toxic and inhibits breast cancer tumor growth

乳癌裸鼠投予EF-1配方32天後開始進行腫瘤大小之測量,結果顯示服用EF-1配方組裸鼠腫瘤生長較緩慢約有20%的抑制(參見圖2及圖3)。當配方投予至74天,控制組之裸鼠已大量死亡12隻剩下一隻存活,然而EF-1配方組僅2隻死亡,仍有10隻老鼠存活。從研究結果可以得知EF-1配方可有效抑制腫瘤生長。裸鼠投予EF-1配方53天後體重略低於控制組,然而,裸鼠體重皆維持在約22.5公克。其後直至試驗結束EF-1配方組體重仍持續成長。此顯示本配方並無毒性,而在投予配方前期可能是適口性問題造成體重微幅下降(參見圖4)。Breast cancer nude mice began to measure tumor size 32 days after administration of EF-1 formulation, and the results showed that tumor growth in nude mice in the EF-1 formulation group was about 20% slower (see Figures 2 and 3). When the formula was administered for 74 days, the control group of nude mice had died in a large number of 12 and only one survived. However, only 2 of the EF-1 formula group died and 10 mice survived. It can be seen from the results that EF-1 formula can effectively inhibit tumor growth. Nude mice were slightly lower in weight than the control group after 53 days of administration of the EF-1 formulation, however, the body weight of the nude mice was maintained at approximately 22.5 grams. The body weight of the EF-1 formula group continued to grow until the end of the trial. This shows that the formula is not toxic, and may be a palatability problem in the early stage of administration of the formulation, resulting in a slight decrease in body weight (see Figure 4).

實例5:EF-1配方延長乳癌裸鼠之壽命Example 5: EF-1 Formulation Extends Life of Breast Cancer in Nude Mice

投予EF-1配方可強化乳癌裸鼠之免疫力,並延長乳癌裸鼠之壽命(參見圖5)。控制組裸鼠集中在50-65天大量死亡,然而,EF-1配方組之死亡集中在65-160天;直至180天試驗結束,仍有3隻EF-1配方組裸鼠存活。經統計控制組約存活60天,EF-1配方組則約為116天。由此結果可得知,EF-1配方無明顯毒性,不止抑制腫瘤生長更可大幅延長乳癌裸鼠之壽命。Administration of the EF-1 formulation potentiates the immunity of breast cancer nude mice and prolongs the lifespan of breast cancer nude mice (see Figure 5). The control group of nude mice concentrated on 50-65 days of massive death, however, the death of the EF-1 formula group was concentrated in 65-160 days; until the end of the 180-day trial, there were still 3 EF-1 formula group nude mice survived. The statistical control group survived for approximately 60 days, and the EF-1 formulation group was approximately 116 days. From this result, it can be known that the EF-1 formulation has no obvious toxicity, and not only inhibiting tumor growth, but also significantly prolonging the life span of breast cancer nude mice.

實例6:EF-2配方無毒性並可抑制肝癌腫瘤生長Example 6: EF-2 formulation is non-toxic and inhibits tumor growth of liver cancer

進一步我們使用人類肝癌細胞株進行EF-2配方試驗。EF-2配方與EF-1配方主要之不同在於蜂王乳粉之量為EF-1配方之2倍,其餘組成不變。結果顯示,不管是以水解或未水解蜂王乳調配之EF-2配方皆有效抑制腫瘤生長(參見圖6及7)。這個結果與EF-1配方類似但EF-2配方似乎比EF-1配方更有效。EF-2配方類似EF-1配方,並無明顯毒性,裸鼠之體重無顯著下降(參見圖8)。Further, we used human liver cancer cell lines for the EF-2 formulation test. The main difference between the EF-2 formula and the EF-1 formula is that the amount of the queen milk powder is twice that of the EF-1 formula, and the rest of the composition is unchanged. The results showed that the EF-2 formulation formulated with either hydrolyzed or unhydrolyzed royal jelly inhibited tumor growth (see Figures 6 and 7). This result is similar to the EF-1 formulation but the EF-2 formulation appears to be more effective than the EF-1 formulation. The EF-2 formulation was similar to the EF-1 formulation and was not significantly toxic, with no significant decrease in body weight in nude mice (see Figure 8).

實例7:EF-2配方可抑制大腸癌腫瘤生長Example 7: EF-2 Formulation Can Inhibit Colorectal Cancer Growth

使用人類大腸癌細胞株(HT-29 cells)進行EF-2配方試驗。結果顯示,服用EF-2配方組裸鼠腫瘤生長較緩慢,在第2週開始約有22%的抑制,觀察到第四週EF-2配方組裸鼠腫瘤生長皆較控制組緩慢(參見圖9)。體重無明顯下降(參見圖10)。結果顯示,EF-2配方可有效抑制腫瘤生長且無明顯毒性,裸鼠之體重無顯著下降。EF-2 formulation tests were performed using human colorectal cancer cell lines (HT-29 cells). The results showed that the nude mice in the EF-2 formula group had slower tumor growth and about 22% inhibition at the second week. It was observed that the tumor growth of the EF-2 formula group was slower than that of the control group in the fourth week (see figure). 9). There was no significant decrease in body weight (see Figure 10). The results showed that the EF-2 formula was effective in inhibiting tumor growth without significant toxicity, and the body weight of nude mice did not decrease significantly.

實例8:比較台灣綠蜂膠萃取物、黃耆萃取物、水解蜂王乳蛋白及EF-2配方之抑制腫癌生長的活性Example 8: Comparison of Taiwan green propolis extract, astragalus extract, hydrolyzed royal milk protein and EF-2 formula to inhibit the growth of tumor growth

試驗是否單獨的台灣綠蜂膠萃取物、黃耆萃取物、或水解蜂王乳蛋白可以有效抑制腫瘤生長。將裸鼠殖入人類乳癌細胞(MDA-MB-231 cells),待腫瘤成長至100 mm3進行分組,並投予試驗物質。我們發現,單獨投予相當於人體服用劑量500毫克之台灣綠蜂膠萃取物效果不佳;單獨投予相當於人體服用劑量400毫克之黃耆萃取物效果亦不佳;而單獨投予相當於人體服用劑量2,000毫克水解蜂王乳蛋白效果亦不佳,如圖11所示。然而,EF-2配方(台灣綠蜂膠萃取物+黃耆萃取物+水解蜂王乳蛋白)在投予4-5週,抑制腫瘤效果即達到25%(參見圖11)且裸鼠體重無明顯下降(參見圖12)。由此結果可得知,EF-2配方具有顯著抑制腫瘤生長活性,單獨投予任一配方組成之效果不佳。It is tested whether the individual Taiwan green propolis extract, astragalus extract, or hydrolyzed royal milk protein can effectively inhibit tumor growth. Nude mice were colonized into human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 cells), and the tumors were grown to 100 mm 3 for grouping and the test substances were administered. We found that it was not effective to administer a single dose of 500 mg of Taiwan green propolis extract alone. The effect of administering a dose of 400 mg of Astragalus membranaceus alone was not good. The effect of taking 2,000 mg of hydrolyzed royal jelly protein was also poor, as shown in Figure 11. However, the EF-2 formula (Taiwan Green Propolis Extract + Astragalus Extract + Hydrolyzed Royal Milk Protein) was administered for 4-5 weeks, and the tumor suppressing effect reached 25% (see Figure 11) and the body weight of nude mice did not decrease significantly. (See Figure 12). From the results, it was found that the EF-2 formulation has a remarkable inhibitory effect on tumor growth, and the effect of administering any of the formulations alone is not good.
