Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ginseng seed oil technology, and more particularly to the application of a ginseng oil body in the preparation of a medicine for the prevention and / or treatment of colitis. Background Technology
[0002] Oil bodies (OBs) are naturally occurring oil droplet structures in plant seed cells, commonly found in oilseed crops such as soybeans, peanuts, and rapeseed. Plant oil bodies have a diameter of 0.5-2.5 μm. When subjected to external pressure, they exhibit an irregular disk shape; however, within a given space, they are typically spherical. The core of plant oil bodies (OBs) is primarily composed of triglycerides (TAG, accounting for 94.0-98.0% of the core lipids), with small amounts of diglycerides, free fatty acids, and vitamin E. In addition, OBs contain various bioactive components, such as phytosterols, tocopherols, essential amino acids, isoflavones, and minor proteins including dioxygenases and lipoxygenases. The presence of these substances can lower cholesterol levels, neutralize free radicals, regulate hormone levels, and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, aging, and certain chronic diseases.
[0003] Plant oils, with their natural phospholipid-oil protein complex membrane structure, are widely used in cosmetics and emulsification. In the food industry, they are natural complex emulsions with excellent emulsifying properties, serving as a natural alternative to artificial oil-in-water emulsions. They are widely used in emulsified products such as beverages, dairy products, chocolate, and ice cream. Therefore, plant oils have broad application prospects because they can meet consumers' demand for purely natural foods.
[0004] Currently, ginseng seed oil is known to be rich in ginsenosides, fatty acids, and antioxidants, possessing properties such as nourishing the skin, regulating metabolism, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is generally used for skincare, relieving fatigue, and promoting bodily recovery. Therefore, the development of applications for ginseng seed oil is still quite limited.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To develop new applications for ginseng oil, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides the use of ginseng oil in the preparation of medicaments for the prevention and / or treatment of colitis.
[0007] Preferably, the ginseng oil is extracted from ginseng seeds, and its main components include 9 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipid monolayer, protopanaxadiol, and 24 kinds of ginseng proteins.
[0008] Preferably, the ginseng seeds are fresh or dried seeds.
[0009] Preferably, the ginseng oil is prepared by the following method: ginseng seeds are soaked in PBS solution for 7-10 days, then ground and extracted using PBS solution as the extractant, and the upper semi-solid layer is taken after centrifugation to obtain the ginseng oil.
[0010] Preferably, the PBS solution needs to be pre-cooled at a temperature of 4-10°C; the amount of PBS solution added is 8-12 times the volume of the ginseng seeds.
[0011] Preferably, the grinding method is grinding with a grinding machine for 1 to 3 minutes.
[0012] Preferably, the centrifugation speed is 400-1500 rpm, the temperature is 4-10℃, and the time is 15-30 min.
[0013] This invention also provides the application of ginseng oil in the preparation of moisturizing, repairing, and anti-aging cosmetic products.
[0014] This invention extracts ginseng oil from ginseng seeds and identifies its components using various methods. The core structure of the ginseng oil is found to be mainly composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, unlike the triglyceride core of oil obtained from oilseed crops. Lipidomics analysis revealed 335 phospholipids (positive ion mode) and 269 phospholipids (negative ion mode) in the phospholipid monolayer. Proteomics analysis identified 24 ginseng proteins. High-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS) confirmed the presence of protopanaxadiol (PPT) within the ginseng oil core.
[0015] In vitro testing revealed that ginseng oil possesses strong antioxidant capabilities, with its antioxidant effect directly proportional to dosage. Further testing showed that ginseng oil can scavenge hydroxyl and DPPH free radicals. Oral treatment and preventative treatment of mice with colitis demonstrated that ginseng oil can prevent and treat colitis, proving its effectiveness in preventing and treating colitis. Skin application to healthy volunteers revealed that ginseng oil also has moisturizing, repairing, and anti-aging effects. Therefore, the ginseng oil provided by this invention can be used in oral formulations for the prevention and treatment of colitis, and in topical formulations for use in cosmetic products with moisturizing, repairing, and anti-aging effects.

After the water bath, allow the temperature to cool to room temperature, add 3 mL of n-hexane to a centrifuge tube, shake to extract for 2 min, and let stand for one hour to allow for layering. Filter the supernatant through a 0.45 μm filter membrane for analysis.
[0038] (4) Instrumentation Method

[0040] (5) Data calculation and processing
[0041] The content of each fatty acid in the sample is calculated according to the formula:
[0042] In the formula:
[0043] W—The content of each fatty acid in the sample, in g / 100g; C—Concentration of fatty acid methyl esters in the sample solution, in mg / L; V – constant volume, in mL; k—conversion factor for the conversion of each fatty acid methyl ester to fatty acid, see Table 3 below; N – Dilution factor; 10 -4 —Unit conversion factor; m — the mass of the sample, in grams.
[0044] Table 3. Summary of fatty acid types, detection limits, and conversion factors for converting fatty acid methyl esters or fatty acid triglycerides to fatty acids.
[0045] 3.2 Experimental Results: The 37 fatty acids in ginseng oil were qualitatively and quantitatively detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the results are shown in Table 4. A total of 9 fatty acid components were detected. Among them, oleic acid accounted for 79.62%, and linoleic acid accounted for 16.99% (e.g., ...). Figure 3 This indicates that the oil core structure of ginseng oil bodies is mainly composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, rather than triglycerides. This result was further validated by lipidomics analysis.

[0067] Table 9 Proteomics Instruments
[0068] (2) Experimental methods
[0069] 1) SDS-PAGE
[0070] 1. Use the Omni-Easy™ one-step PAGE gel rapid preparation kit. Take equal volumes of the lower layer gel solution and lower layer gel buffer, 2.7 mL each, and mix well; 2. Take equal volumes of the upper layer gel solution and the colored upper layer gel buffer, 0.75 mL each, and mix well; 3. Add 60 μL of the modified coagulant to the mixed solution in step 1, mix gently, and pour the mixed solution into the gel-forming glass plate, so that the distance between the liquid surface and the upper edge of the short glass plate is 0.5 cm longer than the comb teeth. 4. Add 15 μL of the modified coagulant to the mixed solution in step 2, mix gently, and without waiting for the lower layer of gel to solidify, slowly pour the mixed solution into the gel-forming glass plate and insert the comb teeth. 5. After the gel has solidified (about 15 minutes), remove the comb teeth and it is ready for electrophoresis.
[0071] 6. Ginseng oil was diluted with PBS at a volume ratio of 1:10. 40 µL of the sample was mixed with 10 µL of 5X electrophoresis loading buffer at a ratio of 4:1. The sample was boiled in a metal bath at 100 °C for 10 min. 10 µL of the prepared sample was then loaded onto the metal bath. Electrophoresis was performed at 120 V for 50 min, followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining.
[0072] 2) Preprocessing
[0073] After rinsing the electrophoresis gel thoroughly with water, cut the target bands (ensuring each band is as uniform in size and shape as possible) into 1 mm square pieces and place them in EP tubes. Add an appropriate volume of acetonitrile dry gel, followed by approximately 50 μL of DTT solution (10 mM, dissolved in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate) to completely cover the dry gel particles. Incubate at 56°C for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, add pure acetonitrile dry gel and discard all solvents. Then add approximately 50 μL of IAA solution (55 mM, dissolved in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate) to cover the dry gel particles and incubate in the dark for 50 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, add pure acetonitrile dry gel and discard all solvents. Finally, add a sufficient volume of trypsin solution (10 ng / μL) for overnight enzymatic digestion. After enzymatic hydrolysis, a 50% acetonitrile solution containing 0.1% formic acid, an 80% acetonitrile solution containing 0.1% formic acid, and pure acetonitrile were added sequentially to extract the peptides from the colloidal particles. The extracted peptides were then combined and freeze-dried.
[0074] 2) Chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis
[0075] Solution A used in the liquid chromatography was a 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, and solution B was a 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile aqueous solution (acetonitrile content 80%). The liquid chromatography column was 75 μm. 2cm, Acclaim PepMap™ 100 (Thermo Scientific Technology Inc.) and liquid chromatography column (75μm) The 25cm AcclaimPepMap™ RSLC (Thermo Scientific Technology Inc.) was equilibrated with 97% solution A at a volume of 1 μL. After pre-column loading, separation was achieved by elution from the analytical column. The relevant liquid phase gradient settings were as follows: 0 min–3 min, linear gradient of solution B from 3% to 8%; 3 min–45 min, linear gradient of solution B from 8% to 28%; 45 min–54 min, linear gradient of solution B from 28% to 38%; 54 min–56 min, linear gradient of solution B from 38% to 100%; 56 min–60 min, solution B maintained at 100%.
[0076] 3) Mass spectrometry identification
[0077] The enzymatic hydrolysis products were separated by capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and then analyzed by mass spectrometry using a Thermo QE HF mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher). Analysis time: 60 min. Detection mode: positive ion. The mass-charge ratio of the peptide and peptide fragments was acquired using the following method: 20 fragment spectra were acquired after each full scan (MS² scan). Scan range: 400-1800, primary resolution: 60000, secondary resolution: 15000, collision CE: 28 eV.
[0078] 4) Data Analysis
[0079] The raw mass spectrometry test file was searched in the relevant database using the software Proteome Discoverer 2.5 to obtain the protein identification results. The relevant parameters and explanations used for the database search are shown in Table 10 below.
[0080] Table 10 Parameters used for database lookup in Proteome Discoverer

[0090] Example 7
[0091] Detection results of antioxidant activity of ginseng oil
[0092] 7.1 Experimental Methods
[0093] 1. Experimental materials: (1) Terephthalic acid (TA): 10 mmol of stock solution, dissolved in 10 ml of water, final concentration 0.5 mmol (diluted with PBS).
[0094] (2) 30% H2O2: 100 mmol of mother liquor, diluted with Milli-Q to a final concentration of 10 ml.
[0095] (3) FeSO4: 50 mmol of mother liquor, dissolved in ddH2O to 5 ml.
[0096] (4) Ginseng oil sample: stock solution 5 mg / ml, concentration gradient: 5 × 10⁻⁶ -1 mg / ml ~5×10 -6 mg / ml; (5) Positive control: VC stock solution 1 mg / ml, concentration gradient 1×10 -1 mg / ml ~ 1×10 -6 mg / ml.
[0097] 2. Experimental Procedure: (1) Take 1 mL of TA stock solution, 200 μL of H2O2 stock solution, 400 μL of FeSO4 stock solution, and 8.4 mL of PBS to prepare a 10 mL mixture.

[0099] 7.2 Experimental Results
[0100] like Figure 11 As shown, ginseng oil has the ability to scavenge hydroxyl free radicals, and its scavenging effect is directly proportional to the concentration. A concentration of 10 mg / ml can scavenge about 60% of strong free radicals in the reaction system.
[0101] Example 8
[0102] Results of ginseng oil in the prevention and treatment of colitis
[0103] 8.1 Experimental Methods
[0104] 1) Autoclave all drinking water bottles and bottle caps with 1.5L of ddH2O. After cooling to room temperature, prepare 3% DSS solution. Fill each bottle with approximately 300ml. Change the solution every two days.
[0105] 2) Ear tags were used to mark C57 mice, and their weight was measured and recorded.
[0106] 3) The mice were divided into cages, with 3 mice per cage.
[0107] 4) Modeling method: Mice were deprived of water for 6 hours before administration. Administration: Mice were allowed free access to water (containing 3% DSS), and the daily water intake was observed. Administration was repeated for 7 consecutive days, followed by another 5 days. DAI scores were recorded daily.
[0108] 5) Mouse grouping: PBS group: 6 animals. After 7 days of modeling, the modeling was stopped, and PBS solution was administered by gavage for another 5 days. Ginseng OB prevention group (10mg / kg): The drug was administered while the model was being established. Ginseng oil was administered by gavage for 7 days while the model was being established by drinking 3% DSS solution. Positive drug 5-AGA (100mg / kg) treatment group: The drug was administered after modeling. Seven days after modeling, modeling was stopped, and the positive drug solution was administered by gavage for another 5 days. Ginseng OB treatment group (10mg / kg): The drug was administered after modeling. After 7 days of modeling, the modeling was stopped, and ginseng oil was administered by gavage for another 5 days.
[0109] 8.2 Experimental Results
[0110] Evaluation of multiple indicators in mice, including body weight, fecal matter, and colon length, revealed that oral administration of ginseng oil can prevent the occurrence and progression of colitis. Figure 12 As shown, compared with the model group, the prevention group experienced slower weight loss but rapid weight recovery after modeling was stopped. Simultaneously, the DAI score was lower in the prevention group, and anatomical sampling revealed that the colon length was 1.5 cm longer in the prevention group.
[0111] like Figure 13 As shown, after successful establishment of the colitis model, mice were treated orally with the positive control drug 5-hydroxysalicylic acid (5-ASA) and ginseng oil. Ginseng oil showed comparable efficacy to the positive control drug in terms of weight recovery, DAI score, and colon length recovery. This further demonstrates that oral administration of ginseng oil has a therapeutic effect on colitis.
[0112] Example 9
[0113] Application of ginseng oil in topical skin treatment
[0114] 1) Detection of moisture content in the stratum corneum of volunteer skin
[0115] The water content of the stratum corneum on the inner forearm of 10 volunteers was measured using a Coroneometer (CM825) probe. The test sample was measured at (2.0±0.1) mg / cm³. 2 The dosage was applied in a single application, with each application being approximately 10 mg. The stratum corneum moisture content in the control area and test area at 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h was measured using a rating scale (0-100 AU).
[0116] like Figure 14 As shown, the sample group with the applied sample significantly increased the moisture content of the stratum corneum starting 1 hour later, and the effect lasted for at least 4 hours. In contrast, the blank group without the applied sample did not show a significant change in the moisture content of the stratum corneum. This indicates that the sample can significantly increase the moisture content of the stratum corneum and has a very good skin moisturizing effect.
[0117] Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in volunteers' skin
[0118] The test area on the inner forearm of the volunteer was measured using a Tewameter (TM300) probe, with the test sample administered at a concentration of (2.0 ± 0.1) mg / cm². 2 The drug was applied in a single application, with each application being approximately 10 mg. TEWL (transient endothelial vascularization) was measured in the control and test areas at 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h, and the average value was recorded. The probe was cleaned between measurements. The barrier protection efficacy was evaluated by comparing the changes in the average skin moisture loss in the control and test areas, using a rating scale (0 to 90 g / m²). 2 / h) represents the measured value.
[0119] like Figure 15 As shown, the skin TEWL value of the sample group was significantly reduced starting 1 hour after application, and the effect lasted for at least 2 hours. In contrast, the skin TEWL value of the blank group without sample application did not change significantly. This indicates that the sample can significantly reduce transepidermal water loss and strengthen the skin barrier function.
[0120] 3) Evaluation of the effects of using the face mask by volunteers
[0121] Thirty volunteers aged 30-50 with no obvious facial skin problems were selected. The test product was a facial mask containing 10% of the sample (formula: 90% deionized water and 10% ginseng oil soaked in the mask sheet). One mask was used every three days for two months. A questionnaire was used to assess the volunteers' evaluation of the effects after use. The results are as follows: Figure 16 As shown.
[0122] like Figure 16As shown, after volunteers used the sample-containing mask for 2 months, they found that it significantly increased skin elasticity, brightened skin color, and reduced wrinkles around the eyes and nasolabial folds, indicating that the sample has a very significant anti-skin aging effect.
[0123] As shown in the above examples, the core structure of ginseng oil is mainly composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, which differs from the triglyceride core of oil obtained from oil crops in existing methods. Lipidomics detection and analysis revealed 335 phospholipids (positive ion mode) and 269 phospholipids (negative ion mode) in the phospholipid monolayer. Proteomics detection and analysis identified 24 ginseng proteins. High-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry identified protopanaxadiol (PPT) within the core of the ginseng oil. In vitro testing revealed that ginseng oil possesses strong antioxidant capabilities, scavenging hydroxyl and DPPH free radicals. Oral administration and preventative treatment of colitis in mice showed that ginseng oil can prevent and treat colitis. Skin application to healthy volunteers revealed that ginseng oil has moisturizing, repairing, and anti-aging effects.
[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
