[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 068,084 (filed on August 20, 2020), and the entire disclosure thereof is incorporated herein by reference. to be included. shall be
[0003] The present invention generally relates to compositions useful for maintaining calcium homeostasis. The present invention specifically relates to an apoquercetin - containing foaming composition useful for the prevention and / or alleviation of diseases or conditions associated with calcium imbalance.
Background Art
[0004] Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the human body and is mainly present in bones. More than 99% of the calcium in the body is stored in the skeleton, and the skeleton constantly exchanges its supply with the remaining less than 1% of calcium dissolved in body fluids such as blood and soft tissues. Most of the control of this exchange is largely dependent on the endocrine system, which senses the concentration of ionized calcium in plasma and instructs calcium exchange to maintain this critical balance. Among the 1% of calcium in interstitial fluid and soft tissues, the proportion that ionizes to become soluble is very small. The less than 1% of calcium in body fluids and tissues binds to proteins, especially calcium - binding proteins (CaBP). CaBP is known to function in maintaining calcium homeostasis. The concentration of calcium ions required for a living organism to carry out necessary physiological processes is specific. Therefore, maintaining calcium homeostasis is extremely important for physical health. So, what is the appropriate concentration of calcium ions in plasma and body fluids for nerve excitability, muscle contraction, membrane permeability, It is understood to be important for bodily functions, including cell division, hormone secretion, and bone mineralization. However, bodily functions are not limited to these. The breakdown of calcium homeostasis, i.e., calcium Muin balance is associated with many diseases, symptoms, and conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. While related, the diseases, syndromes, and conditions are not limited to these.
[0006] Traditionally, calcium channel blockade has been used to block the flow of calcium between the inside of cells and the interstitial fluid. The medication is used to prevent calcium-related diseases, including hypertension, angina, asthma, migraines, and neuropathy. Although these have been widely prescribed as useful pharmaceuticals, calcium-related disorders are not limited to these. For example, nimodipine can alleviate calcium imbalances that cause nerve deterioration in dementia. This has been shown to improve clinical symptoms and cognitive function. However, the above Many calcium channel blockers can cause fatigue, fluid retention, heartburn, and irregular heart rate. Unwanted side effects include dizziness, stomach upset, and, rarely, fainting, fever, and excessive bleeding. However, side effects are not limited to these.
[0007] Despite the above advances, novel and alternative methods for alleviating or preventing calcium imbalances are needed. The composition is still necessary. In particular, there is a need for pharmaceutical or nutritional supplement compositions that have reduced side effects compared to conventional drugs, If such a composition were discovered, it would fulfill a long-desired requirement in the medical and nutritional health fields. This will likely be in line with the request.
[0008] Furthermore, the above-mentioned pharmaceutical or nutritional supplement composition is not suitable for people of any age, and in any way... It must be administered even to people with a healthy level of health, which can often be difficult. Patients may hesitate to swallow pills, tablets, capsules, or other solid medication formulations. This often occurs, especially when the individual has problems with swallowing. For example, Swallowing difficulties can be caused by globus hystericus or choking resulting from problems with pharyngeal or esophageal motility. This often causes pain and aversion to swallowing the compound. Furthermore, it can lead to pharyngitis and / or other problems. If the pharynx is significantly swollen due to bacterial infection or other serious irritation, It is often difficult and / or impossible for patients to swallow pharmaceutical formulations in this form. The size, shape and taste of the pharmaceutical compound, the psychological aversion to oral ingestion, and / or the distribution Due to a personal choice not to swallow compounded substances, there are situations where one hesitates to orally ingest pharmaceutical compounds. There are also cases where this is a problem. In this respect, young patients are particularly at risk. However, if they receive guidance on how to administer medication... Patients requiring the therapeutic active ingredient in the formulation may take or administer the prescribed dose themselves. It must be taken. Therefore, it contains formulations to address calcium imbalance. There is a continuing request for a better method to administer a therapeutically effective amount of the composition. It exists in a specific way. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0018] II. The present invention Aequolin is a bioluminescent protein originally isolated from bioluminescent jellyfish and other marine organisms. The aquorin complex consists of a 22,285 dalton apoiquorin protein and molecular acid It contains the element and the luminescent group coelenterazine. This complex contains 3 Ca lf- Ions bond Then, coelenterazine oxidizes to coelenteramide, and at the same time releases carbon dioxide. It emits blue light. Aequorin is not released or secreted from cells, Furthermore, it is not compartmentalized or isolated within the cell. Therefore, over a relatively long period of time, C a 2+ Aequorin measurements have been used to detect changes. In multiple experimental systems, Aequorin luminescence was detected several hours to several days after cell loading. Furthermore, aequorin luminescence was detected in the cells. It is also known that it does not inhibit function or embryonic growth.
[0019] The aequorin complex is Ca 2÷ Due to dependent luminescence, intracellular Ca 2+ Widely used as an indicator It has been used. Specifically, Aequorea victoriae is used for the following purposes (1) to (4) Used for: (1) Individual choline-affinity cells of the adrenal gland to nicotinic cholinergic agonists (2) To analyze the secretion response of Ca during myocardial injury 2+ An eye to clarify the role of release (3) Ca at fertilization 2+ (4) During development Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca in chick myoblasts 2÷ The purpose is to investigate the adjustment of pump pressure, (5) Note The purpose is to calibrate a micropipette with a small capacity of approximately 3 picoliters.
[0020] The molecular weight of apoiqualin is approximately 22 kDa. It can be used to regenerate aequorin by reducing disulfide bonds. Calcium-loaded apoequolin reacts with unreacted luminescent proteins to which the substrate is bound. It has the same intricate scaffolding and the same overall folding pattern.
[0021] Traditionally, purifying aequorin from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria required extraction work in a laboratory. However, the refined product was quite heterogeneous or toxic to the organisms being studied. This sometimes happened. The purified bioluminescent protein obtained from 2 tons of jellyfish is typically about 1 It is 25 mg. In contrast, recombinant aequorin is preferably genetically modified intestinal Apoiquorin was purified from bacteria, and then ionized in vitro with high-purity coelenterazine. It is produced by reforming the complex. Apoiquorin useful in the present invention is described. It is commercially available by purification methods and / or synthesis known to those skilled in the art. are. S. Inouye, S. Zenno, Y. Sakaki, and F. Tsuji.

[0022] This invention aims to correct or maintain the calcium balance of a target by applying apoiqua to the target. This relates to the administration of a phosphorus-containing effervescent composition. Maintaining sodium concentration is important for nerve excitability, muscle contraction, membrane permeability, cell division, hormone secretion, and bone mineralization. It is thought to be important for a wide variety of bodily functions, including chemical processes and the prevention of cell death after ischemia. However, such bodily functions are not limited to these. Collapse of calcium homeostasis In other words, calcium imbalance causes many diseases, symptoms and conditions and / or It is thought that these diseases, symptoms, and conditions are related to sleep quality and energy. This includes quality, mood quality, memory quality, and pain perception. According to research on CaBP... CaBP acts as a protective factor in maintaining appropriate ionized calcium levels. It was recognized that this was the case.
[0023] The present invention further relates to the administration of an apoiquorin-containing effervescent composition. A preferred embodiment The apoiquorin-containing effervescent composition further comprises at least one stimulant. Non-specific examples of a single type of stimulant include caffeine, yerba mate, ephedrine, and ga. Lana and carrots may be included. In yet another preferred embodiment, apoiquorin may be included.

In yet another embodiment, A suitable embodiment of an apoiquorin-containing effervescent composition includes at least one stimulant and a vitamin Includes both D.
[0024] Vitamin D increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphates, and zinc. It is a group of lipid-soluble secosteroids. Vitamin D is produced when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays from sunlight. It is produced in the body through various means. Vitamin D can also be obtained naturally from sources such as fish, fish liver oil, and egg yolks. It is found in existing foods, as well as in fortified dairy products and grains. The two most common forms of vitamin D are vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). These are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D2.
[0025] Vitamin D is a physiologically inactive fat-soluble vitamin and requires two activations in the body. It must be hydroxylated. The first hydroxylation takes place in the liver, and vitamin D 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(O], also known as "calcifediol"] Converted to H)D. The second hydroxylation mainly takes place in the kidneys, resulting in "calcitriol Also known as "biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D[1,25(OH It forms [2D]. This active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, is a hormone. It circulates in the bloodstream, regulating the concentration of calcium and phosphate in the blood, and supporting normal bone growth. Promote reconstruction.
[0026] Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and enables normal mineralization of bones, thus reducing calcium levels. Maintain adequate serum calcium and phosphate levels to prevent umtetany. Vitamin D is also used in bone growth and bone reconstruction by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Min D is also involved in cell growth, regulation of neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation. That is what we know.
[0027] A preferred formulation of the present invention modifies the target calcium balance and vitamin D level or To maintain this condition, the subject is administered an effervescent composition containing apoiquorin and vitamin D. This concerns the following: Vitamin D deficiency can be a contributing factor to calcium imbalance. Maintaining ionized calcium concentrations in plasma and body fluids is important for nerve excitability, muscle contraction, membrane permeability, A wide variety of processes, including cell division, hormone secretion, bone mineralization, and prevention of cell death after ischemia. These are considered important for bodily functions, but such bodily functions are not limited to these. The breakdown of calcium homeostasis, or calcium imbalance, is associated with many diseases and symptoms. These diseases, symptoms, and conditions are thought to cause and / or be associated with the following: The state includes aspects related to sleep quality, energy quality, mood quality, memory quality, and pain perception. It is included. Research on CaBP has shown that CaBP helps maintain appropriate ionized calcium levels. It was recognized that this acts as a protective factor.
[0028] Maintaining vitamin D levels is important for calcium absorption, cell growth, and the regulation of neuromuscular and immune function. Furthermore, it is considered important for reducing inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with the proper mineralization of bone tissue. It is most closely associated with rickets, a disease that does not progress to metastasis, and can lead to bone softening and skeletal deformities. (US Medical Research) The guidelines recommend a diet rich in vitamin D to maximize bone health. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is 600 international units (IU) for adults aged 1 to 70 years, and for adults over 70 years. It is set at 800 IU.
[0029] Therefore, in a particular embodiment, the method of the present invention is for treating calcium imbalance. To slow the progression of calcium imbalance, and to prevent the onset of calcium imbalance. Therefore, and for the activity to prevent and / or treat the recurrence of calcium imbalance.

(That is, one capsule per day). Other suitable apoiquorin-containing oral medications. In the case of effervescent formulations, the composition or formulation further contains at least one stimulant.
[0034] To improve the probability of ingestion and / or absorption of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the pharmaceutical formulation includes a foaming agent. The material can be used. The compound or composition may be, for example, a tablet, powder, capsule, or pellet. It can be formed into a solid, and this solid is further mixed with an aqueous excipient before oral ingestion. The compositions that can be administered according to the present invention can be processed by known dissolution, mixing, granulation, or tablet formation processes. It can be prepared in this way. For oral administration, apoiquorin or its physiologically permitted Derivatives that are accepted, such as salts, esters, N-oxides, etc., are commonly used for this purpose. It is mixed with additives such as excipients, stabilizers, and inert diluents, and then mixed using conventional methods. Suitable forms for administration, such as tablets, coated tablets, hard or soft gelatin capsules. It is converted into an aqueous solution, an alcohol solution, or an oil solution, etc. The compound is, for example, a water-based food or It is contained in water-based excipients for beverages, etc., and can be stirred or mixed, and the water-based excipient is For example, it contains a minimum amount of water, such as at least approximately 0.1 ml. The excipients are selected by the caregiver. Alternatively, it may be selected by the patient, or simply put into the patient's mouth when taken directly. This may be saliva and / or other water-containing liquids. Foaming compounds are added to the excipients. When this occurs, gas is generated, and this gas causes foaming, which leads to the disintegration of the compound in the excipient. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is released when the drug is administered. Excipients are used depending on the patient. It is taken orally.
[0035] The term "foaming" generally refers to the release of gas from a liquid or mixture (Hawley's C Chemical Dictionary, pp. 432 onwards, 2001). Therefore, the term "foaming" as used in this specification refers to "foaming." The term "compound" generally refers to a compound containing one or more gases under appropriate conditions, such as contact with water. This refers to a composition or mixture of components that produce sap.
[0036] In this specification, the term "aqueous excipient" means a medium or carrier containing at least a minimum amount of water. This refers to the body, for example, food, etc. Therefore, water-based excipients should be small-water-containing excipients that contain a small amount of water. It can be used as an excipient containing a large amount of water.
