Embodiment 1

[0110] 1.1. Preparation of extract solution

[0111] Applicants dissolved ~10 mg of Salvia m. Bunge extract (as disclosed in WO2009050451 ) in the required volume of 100% ethanol or 100% DMSO to obtain a 1% (w / v) extract solution. They tested 5 μL of this solution (1% final ethanol or DMSO concentration) in a 500 μL assay incubation volume. From this 1% solution of Danshen extract, they also prepared 1:10 and 1:100 dilutions in 100% ethanol or 100% DMSO. From these solutions, they tested 5 μL in a 500 μL assay incubation volume.

[0112] 1.2. Determination of CYP11B1

[0113] The V79MZh11B1 cell line expressing recombinant human CYP11B1 was supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS; Sigma), penicillin G (100 U / ml), streptomycin (100 μg / ml), glutamine (2 mM) and sodium pyruvate (1mM) Dulbecco modified Eagle (DME, Sigma)) at 37°C, 5% CO 2 Cultivate in the air. Cells were placed on a 24-well cell culture plate (8 × 10 per well 5 cells) and cultured to confluency in 1 ml D...

Embodiment 2

[0127] MTT cell viability assay

[0128] Place V79MZh11B1 cells on 1ml DME medium in a 24-well cell culture plate (8×10 per well 5 cells) were grown to confluence. On the day of the test, the DME medium was removed, and 450 μl of fresh DME medium containing 5% FCS (containing 5 μl of Danshen extract solution in 100% ethanol) was added to each well. Ethanol (1%) and Triton X-100 (0.0006%) were used as vehicle and positive control, respectively (all final concentrations). All measurements were performed in quadruplicate. At 37°C, 5% CO 2 After incubation for 60 min, 50 μl of fresh DME medium (+5% FCS) was added to each well. After 25 min, the medium was replaced with 500 μl of fresh DME medium (+5% FCS), and 25 μl of MTT solution (5 mg / ml PBS, pH 7.2) was added thereto immediately. After 30 min, all medium was removed and cells were lysed in 250 μl of 0.5% acetic acid (v / v), 10% SDS (w / v) in DMSO. Measuring formazan by spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 570 nm (formaza...

Embodiment 3

[0136] Considering the activity of the extracts, applicants used the methodology described in Example 1 to observe the activity of some of the tanshinones.

[0137] The tanshinones tested in V79MZh11B1 cells were:

[0138] ●Tanshinone IIA;

[0139] ●Tanshinone I;

[0140] ● Dihydrotanshinone I; and

[0141] ● Cryptotanshinone.

[0142] The results are shown in Table 3 below:

[0143] table 3.

[0144]

[0145] table 3. CYP11B1 inhibition by tanshinone IIA, tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, and cryptotanshinone. Results are mean ± SD of 2 independent experiments.

[0146] As apparent from the results, each tanshinone showed inhibitory activity, the two most potent being dihydrotanshinone (94% inhibition at 10 μM) and tanshinone I (64% inhibition at 10 μM).

[0147] This in itself was unexpected as these two compounds were present in lower amounts in the extract disclosed in WO2009050451 (3.65% and 3.82%, respectively) than cryptotanshinone and tanshinone IIa (18.95...

Abstract

This invention relates to the use of a plant extract, derived from a Salvia spp, comprising one or more tanshinone compounds, or said one or more tanshinone compounds, in the treatment of wounds, particularly chronic wounds, or other conditions benefiting from inhibition of Cortisol production, particularly Cushing's syndrome. Preferred tanshinone compounds include, but are not limited to, dihydrotanshinone (particularly 15,16- dihydrotanshinone (CAS No. 87205-99-0) ) and Tanshinone I.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to plant extracts comprising one or more tanshinone compounds or said one or more tanshinone compounds derived from species of the genus Salvia (Salvia spp) for use in the treatment of wounds, in particular chronic wounds or Other conditions that benefit from suppressed cortisol production, notably Cushing's syndrome. [0002] Preferred tanshinone compounds include, but are not limited to, dihydrotanshinone (especially 15,16-dihydrotanshinone (CAS No. 87205-99-0)) and Tanshinone I. [0003] Preferred treatments include treating chronic wounds (generally defined as wounds that take more than 6 weeks to heal). Such wounds are especially common in obese patients and patients with diabetes, as well as in bedridden patients (decubitus or bedsores) and patients who have undergone external beam radiation therapy. [0004] Chronic wounds fail to heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time (the way most wounds experience). C...
