Description

FORMULATIONS PREPARED FROM ALLIUM SA TIVUM L. EXTRACT AND THEIR EFFECT ON OSTEOARTHRITIS
Field of the Invention
The invention relates to microemulsion formulations designed with methanol extract containing at least 0.45% allicin, which is obtained from Allium sativum L. garlic, and the effects of said formulations on osteoarthritis.
State of the Art
Osteoarthritis is a disease with a chronic course whose incidence increases with advanced age and causes damage especially to load-bearing joints. Many studies are currently being conducted to develop cartilage-protective agents that will slow down cartilage destruction and delay the application of total joint replacement, which is the last step in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis (OA), a disease characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. The development of agents that can restore the balance in this disease, in which the balance between production and destruction in cartilage tissue is disrupted, requires high cost and advanced technology.
The aim of the treatment of OA which develops due to different etiopathologic causes and is a progressive disease is to reduce pain, increase the range of motion of the joint and relieve functional impairment. In this disease, in which different conservative methods are used in the treatment, it is aimed to delay the need for surgical intervention and to slow down the cartilage destruction that starts from the early stages of osteoarthritis but does not give clinical findings. The fact that plant-based medicines are frequently used in many fields today directs studies towards natural products that are a source of biodiversity. Turkey is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of plant diversity and plants are frequently used in traditional treatment.
For example, application numbered US2020215143 (Al) discloses the use of cherry extract and cherry seed oil in the treatment of osteoarthritis symptoms.
Another application numbered KR102044659 (Bl), discloses the use of fermented Achyranthes japonica Nakai plant extract for use in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
However, the fact that studies on extracts obtained from natural components are usually conducted on the extracts collected from nature or non-standardized extracts significantly weakens the reproducibility of the resulting product.
Given the state of the art, there is a need for drug-quality pharmaceutical formulations that are reliable, derived from pharmacopeia-quality plant sources and standardized.
The inventors conducted studies in this respect have developed microemulsion formulations comprising Allium sativum L. methanol extract containing at least 0.45% allicin and have determined the effects of these formulations in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Summary of the Invention
In one aspect, the present invention relates to microemulsion formulations comprising Allium sativum L. methanol extract containing at least 0.45% allicin.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to the microemulsion formulations comprising Allium sativum L. methanol extract containing at least 0.45% allicin for use in the treatment of osteoarthritis or relief of symptoms thereof.

Another object of the invention is the formulations according to the invention comprising Allium sativum L. methanol extract containing at least 0.45% allicin for use in the treatment of osteoarthritis or relief of symptoms thereof.
In this study, garlic extract formulated as a microemulsion formulation was studied in vitro and in vivo in animals for its effect on osteoarthritis. In this regard, the extract which was placed in both a natural agent and a carrier system showed good results both macroscopically and histologically against osteoarthritis. EXAMPLES:
Example 1: Preparation of Allium sativum L. Methanol Extract
50 grams of A. sativum garlic in powder form is kept in 250 mL methanol for 1 hour. Then the solvent was separated and removed in a low-pressure dryer. At the end of the process, approximately 3 g A. sativum methanol extract was obtained.
Example 2: Preparation of Microemulsion System
In the microemulsion system, isopropyl myristate (IPM) was used as an oil, Tween 60 and Span 80 as surfactants and PEG400 and ethanol (EtOH) as co-surfactants. The ratio of PEG400:EtOH is 1:8.

Example 3: Preparation of Microemulsion Formulation comprising Allium sativum L. Methanol Extract
The microemulsion formulation was prepared to comprise 5% by weight (w/w) Allium sativum L. methanol extract and microemulsion system.
Example 4: In Vivo Experiments
Method: Animals were anesthetized by injecting them ketamine (80 mg/kg, i.p.) - xylazine (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Osteoarthritis was induced with anterior cruciate ligament injury through an approach of lateral parapatellar skin incision on the right knees of animals and medial meniscectomy injury. In the surgical technique; after skin incision of the right knee, the joint capsule was reached by crossing the vastus lateralis muscle, the patella laterale was luxated, and the femoral condyle and tibial plateau were exposed. Firstly, the anterior cruciate ligament was amputated and then a medial meniscectomy was performed. The patella was relocated, the joint was washed and the tissues were sutured. Result and Evaluation: The experiments conducted show that the microemulsion formulation containing Allium sativum L. according to the invention has a lower number of Caspase-3 and MMP-3 positive cells compared to the osteoarthritis control sample (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This indicates that the microemulsion formulation gives a positive result in the treatment or relief of symptoms of osteoarthritis. Also, in the in-vivo test conducted, it is shown that when compared to the positive control substance used in the market for the treatment of osteoarthritis and containing hyaluronic acid, the microemulsion formulation containing Allium sativum L. methanol extract shows the same effect as the positive control sample (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The formulations comprising Allium sativum L. methanol extract reduce the number of Caspase-3 and MMP-3 positive cells almost to the number of Caspase-3 and MMP-3 positive cells in healthy tissue (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Also, in the histochemical studies conducted with safranine-o, it is shown that the microemulsion comprising the inventive extract gives better results than the market product used as a positive control (Figure 3). After the administration of the microemulsion comprising the inventive extract, it is shown that the degeneration on the articular cartilage surface of the specimens decreased and the number of chondrocytes increased. Similarly, when the histopathological changes between the samples were evaluated using the Mankin scoring system, it is shown that the microemulsion formulation according to the invention is significantly different and shows better efficacy compared to the market product used as a positive control (Figure 4).
