Benefits of technology

[0022] The therapeutic agent for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) obtained under the present invention contains the extract of mushrooms as the active ingredient thereof, which is safe, exhibits few, if any, side effects, demonstrates excellent effects of inducing ovulation, and is safely available for not only females who desire to bear children, but also for unmarried or young females.

Problems solved by technology

The reason for this is believed to be because the balance between FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in gonadotropic hormones (gonadotropins), which are secreted from the pituitary gland and required to induce ovulation, is not properly maintained.
However, there are still many factors that have not yet been clarified.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) results in irregular menstruation, loss of menstrual periods, menorrhagia, an increase of male hormones (testosterone), obesity, sterility, and other problems.
Although this treatment exhibits relatively high efficacy and a good pregnancy rate, there are some side effects such as multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
This is a treatment in which Shakuyaku-kanzo-to, a Chinese herbal medicine, is administered with few, if any, side effects, but its effect is not satisfactory
The problem is that this treatment is not a definitive treatment and is invasive to the living body.

preparation example 1

Preparation of the extract of mushrooms (Grifola frondosa)

[0056] 5 L of 95% aqueous ethanol was added to 1000 g of dried Grifola frolndosa) fruiting body powder, stirred for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature, and then filtered to remove the ethanol soluble components.

[0057] Then, 5 L of deionized water was added to the obtained residue, and then extracted for 2 hours while stirring at 100 to 120° C. This hot-water-extracted liquid was concentrated to half of the original value, followed by adding ethanol until the final ethanol concentration became 50 to 75% by value. This was allowed to stand in a low-temperature chamber at 4 to 10° C. for 8 to 12 hours, and solid substances such as precipitates or floating matter, which were insoluble components, were removed by centrifugation to obtain a supernatant.

[0058] From this supernatant, a fraction having a molecular weight of 14,000 Dalton or more was collected by dialysis, and thus an extract of Grifola frondosa was obtained.

Preparation Method of a Tablet

[0072] A tablet having the following components was prepared using the extract of Grifola frondosa which was obtained in Preparation Example 1.

TabletPer tabletActive ingredients:Extract of Grifola frondosa (powdered)36 mgDried Grifola frondosa powder250 mg Excipients:Fine crystalline cellulose264 mg Calcium monohydrogen phosphate20 mgSucrose fatty acid ester20 mgFine silica dioxide10 mgCoating material:Methylcellulose1 to 1.5% by mass of the tablet

[0073] The dried Grifola frondosa powder means a powder obtained by merely drying and pulverizing Grifola frondosa without extracting with ethanol. The above-mentioned extract of Grifola frondosa (powdered) and the dried Grifola frondosa powder were mixed with the finely pulverized excipients and granulated, dried, pulverized, and tableted to make tablets having a proper form and size, followed by coating the tablets with the coating material.

Preparation and Analysis of Extracts From Lentinus edodes, Agaricus blazei Murill, Ganoderma lucidum, and Pleurotus ostreatus

[0075]Lentinus edodes (Preparation Example 3), Agaricus blazei Murill (Preparation Example 4), Ganoderma lucidum (Preparation Example 5), and Pleurotus ostreatus (Preparation Example 6) were used instead of Grifola frondosa, for extraction in the same manner as that in Preparation Example 1. The measurements by HPLC were carried out in the same manner as in the above-mentioned analysis example. FIG. 2 shows a chart drawing of a result of the analysis by HPLC on the extract of Lentinus edodes extract, FIG. 3 shows that on Agaricus blazei Murill, FIG. 4 that on Ganoderma lucidum, and FIG. 5 shows that on Pleurotus ostreatus. In FIGS. 2 to 5, each peak was recognized at approximately the same position of 7.189, which is the peak position of the extract of Grifola frondosa in Preparation Example 1, that is, 7.087 (FIG. 2), 7.082 (FIG. 3), 7.096 (FIG. 4), or 7.086...

Abstract

The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which exhibits few, if any, side effects, is effective at inducing ovulation, and is safely available for not only females who desire to bear children, but also for unmarried or young females. A therapeutic agent for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in which an extract of mushrooms is contained as the active ingredient thereof is used.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an effective and safe therapeutic agent for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a cause of female sterility, menstrual disorder, acne, excess hair growth, obesity, or the like. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Recent studies have reported that 6% of women of reproductive age suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Moreover, it is predicted that the actual number of patients with potential polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is much higher than this. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) means the state in which a follicle is not sufficiently matured for ovulation to occur and an ovary is filled with numerous small immature ova. Thus, ovulation disorder is caused. [0003] The reason for this is believed to be because the balance between FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in gonadotropic hormones (gonadotropins), which are secreted from the pituitary gland and required to induce ovulation, is not pr...
