Description
BASED ON A COMBINATION OF POMEGRANATE EXTRACT AND PROBIOTICS, AND IN SITU. A COMPOSITION THAT ENABLES THE OBTAINING OF UROLITHIN A. TECHNICAL FIELD The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical / food supplement formulations, targeted release of gastrointestinal ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid into the intestine in the environment that enables, participates in, or facilitates the conversion of Urolitin to A. supporting in situ Urolitin A production in the gut via at least one probiotic strain It relates to a composition aimed at providing support. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Plant sources containing ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid, especially pomegranate fruit and pomegranate seeds. Following oral ingestion of the derived extracts, hydrolysis occurs in the gastrointestinal system. can undergo biotransformation processes, and as a result of these processes, the intestines in a technique where urolithin derivatives (especially Urolitin A) can be formed by the microbiota It is known that ellagitannins are hydrolyzed to ellagic acid in the intestinal environment. it is possible and ellagic acid is also involved in the enzymatic activities of intestinal microorganisms. By passing through successive transformation steps, it becomes various urolite intermediates and final urolites. It is accepted that transformation is possible. However, this transformation is only possible if... The fact that it cannot be explained by chemical breakdown suggests that the main determining factor is the gut microbiota. It is also generally understood that there are differences in composition, functional capacity, and between individuals. This is a known phenomenon in technology. In the known state of the art, despite the same ellagitannin / ellagic acid input, in individuals Urolith formation can occur at different levels, and even have no distinct final stages in some individuals. It is known that urolith formation cannot be observed. This situation is due to the gut microbiota. Species diversity, the presence of microorganisms that undergo specific transformation stages. or absence, whether these microorganisms are present in the gut in sufficient concentrations. and can vary depending on factors such as diet / lifestyle. Therefore, ellagitannin Consumption of a plant extract rich in nutrients can lead to consistent and predictable changes in every individual. It does not ensure the formation of Urolitin A at the level indicated, and the production capacity of Urolitin is determined by the "microbiota". It is known to have a "dependent" quality. This variability means that product effectiveness varies from person to person. differentiation and a standard biological output (e.g., a specific level of Urolitin A) This can lead to the inability to guarantee the security of the product. On the other hand, in the current state of the technique, uroliths can be directly (as isolated / pure components) There are also approaches to administering them in supplement form. However, urolithins... direct application; raw material supply and production cost, stability, formulation various challenges such as requirements and the sustainability of the targeted biological effect It may include. Furthermore, the approach of administering uroliths externally is used in some applications. It is based on providing the final metabolite rather than mimicking the "natural metabolic pathway". to support certain expected physiological processes through interaction with the microbiota This can be limited in terms of its function. Therefore, in the relevant technical field, uroliths of the intestine are being studied in depth. Approaches based on the production of biotransformation products in their natural environment are attracting interest. In the current state of the art, extracts with high polyphenol content, such as pomegranate extract... its stability in the gastrointestinal system may be limited, and particularly low levels in the gastric environment. Due to pH and enzymatic conditions, the active precursor compounds (ellagitannin / ellagic acid) are only partially formed. It is acknowledged that it may break down or fail to reach the desired area in sufficient quantity. This situation determines the amount of substrate required for the transformation that is intended to take place in the intestine. It can lower and therefore limit the formation of Urolitin A. Therefore In the current technique, plant extracts are preserved under gastric conditions and released in the intestine. controlled-release solutions such as enteric coatings and pH-sensitive polymers to provide this. It is among the known options. However, enteric coating alone It does not eliminate inter-individual variability in microbiota-induced transformation and a delivery solution aimed solely at better transport of the substrate to the target area It offers. In the current state of the technique, the aim is to compensate for inter-individual microbiota differences. The use of probiotic strains is also a common approach. Probiotic applications include: Supporting specific metabolic functions in the gut, making substrates more effective. such as breaking down or facilitating specific biotransformation steps They can be recommended for these purposes. However, maintaining the viability of probiotic strains and production... its stability during processing and storage, and against stressors such as stomach acid and bile salts 3 such as overcoming obstacles and reaching the target intestinal region with a sufficient number of live cells. The challenges are well known in the field of technology. These challenges of probiotics are addressed in formulation strategies. (drying method, preservatives, microencapsulation, packaging barrier, water activity) (control, etc.) shows high dependence. In addition, the plant substrate in the technique When probiotics are formulated together in the same product (such as pomegranate extract), It is acknowledged that undesirable interactions may occur during the product's shelf life. Especially in conditions where humidity cannot be controlled or the packaging barrier is inadequate, oxidation of polyphenols, decrease in probiotic viability, chemical change of substrate, and Results such as instability of the microenvironment within the product can be observed. Also, substrate-related issues may occur. Direct contact with probiotics can lead to premature / undesirable conversion under certain conditions. can contribute to reactions or batch-to-batch variability in quality parameters This can be considered a theoretical risk. Therefore, in technology, the same dosage form is used. Physical separation in products containing multiple functional components, multiphase transport. Factors such as architecture, granule / coating technologies, and packaging barriers affect product stability. It is known to be important in this respect. As one of the studies in the relevant technical field, patent number US20240382539 A1, to increase the conversion of ellagic acid to Urolitin A via the gut microbiota This patent relates to the use of an intestinal probiotic. The aim of this patent is to specifically target EA. those that cannot metabolize at all or metabolize with low efficiency (metabotype 0 and / or B) By enhancing the metabolism of ellagic acid to Urolitin A in individuals, it increases the yield of Urolitin A. The aim is to increase it. To achieve this, it is possible to modify the metabolite of ellagic acid. selected probiotic strains (single or in combination) and their combination with ellagic acid It contains a pharmaceutical composition in which it is included together (e.g., Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus; Bifidobacterium breve / bifidum / longum; Bacteroides fragilis / vulgatus; Megasphaera elsdenii; Ruminococcus gnavus; Weissella confusa; Enterococcus faecalis; Akkermansia muciniphila). As one of the studies in the relevant technical field, patent number EP3733858 A1 is a By removing the hydroxyl group at the 8-position of urolithin through microorganisms This patent relates to a production method for converting another type of Urolith into a different one. Its aim is to remove the -OH group, particularly at the 8-position, from the first urolith. second Urolith (e.g., from Urolith C to isoUrolith A and / or from Urolith A to Urolith B) is to ensure that it is obtained through biotransformation. To achieve this, the first 4 a microorganism capable of producing a secondary urolith in a solution containing urolith (preferably using the genus Slackia; e.g., Slackia heliotrinireducens DSM 20476) fermentation / biotransformation step; and if necessary, ellagic acid and / or ellagitannin, etc. Before raw materials, Gordonibacter and / or Clostridium are used for the production of Urolitin C / A. It involves a multi-stage production method in the same system with microorganisms.

All the purposes mentioned above and those that will emerge from the detailed explanation below. The present invention aims to realize a multi-component and controlled solution suitable for oral administration. It is a composition with a release character. Accordingly, the composition, in a structure, is ellagitannin pH-sensitive enteric seed granules containing pomegranate extract with and / or ellagic acid structuring it in the form of enteric-coated granules coated with a polymer film and the aforementioned Ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid in the intestinal environment together with granules to Urolitin A at least one probiotic that enables, participates in, or supports this transformation It contains the strain. In an alternative configuration, the composition is uncoated pomegranate 5. extract and at least one of the probiotic strains in question, in a delayed-release capsule. This may involve the co-structuring of the release capsule (DR-Caps). Thus Pomegranate extract is protected from premature release and / or released with a delayed release in the gastric environment. It is delivered to the intestinal region, released in a targeted manner, and acts as a catalyst in the gut via probiotics. In situ Urolitin A production is supported. A feature of the possible formulation of the invention is that enteric-coated pomegranate granules are probiotic. physically separated from each other in phases and together in the same dosage form. despite the presence of direct contact between the granule core and probiotics This is to limit unwanted / premature biotransformations during shelf life. the risk is reduced and the transformation is initiated primarily in the intestinal environment. is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This detailed description of the invention defines a method that enables the in situ isolation of Urolitin A. It is related to composition and is solely aimed at a better understanding of the subject, nothing else. This is explained with examples that will not create a limiting effect. 6 Within the scope of this invention, direct oral administration of Urolitin A affects the upper digestive system. Due to the limitations in breakdown and absorption in these sections, the desired effect is not achieved at a sufficient level. a precursor component structure containing pomegranate extract, given that its acquisition may be difficult. It is configured accordingly. Based on this, the precursor component structure in question uses pomegranate as the active ingredient. It contains extract. Pomegranate extract contains ellagitannin and / or other precursor compounds for the production of Urolitin A. It contains ellagic acid. Within the scope of this invention, pomegranate extract is used as the active ingredient; dry extract, It can be found in at least one of the following solid forms: powder, granules and / or other particulate matter. In addition, the ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid content of the extract in question is standardized. This can be achieved through standardization, reducing batch-to-batch variations and improving composition. This is important in terms of making its functional effectiveness more consistent. The content of ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid can be determined using appropriate analytical methods, for example. This can be determined through chromatographic analysis. The invention involves physically separating the precursor component from the probiotic component. structuring, direct interaction between components throughout the storage process limiting the stability of ellagitannin and / or ellagic acid content in pomegranate extract to protect, reduce the risk of early loss of probiotic viability and premature This is preferred in order to prevent biotransformation from initiating within the product. Therefore, even if pomegranate extract and probiotic components are present together in the same dosage form, biotransformation primarily targets the gastrointestinal system, particularly the intestine. A structure is being created that is conducive to its realization in this environment. The invention includes "physically separate structuring", with a precursor component and a probiotic. Although the components are present together in the same dosage form, they form a single homogeneous phase. separate physical populations that will not form and will limit direct contact. This indicates that the precursor component should be arranged in this way. Accordingly, the precursor component containing pomegranate extract, Probiotics can be structured in the form of a core, granules, and / or coated particles. The component exists as a separate powder, particle, granule, and / or coated particle population. They can be found in the same sachet, capsule, or similar oral dosage form. Even when they are present together, the probiotic component pomegranate extract is constantly exposed to the bare surface. and not in widespread direct contact; the precursor component has its own carrier / core structure and preferably protected within the cladding system. This physically separate configuration; 7 precursor component in enteric coated granules, lined cores, coated particles or presented as similar individual carrier units, while the probiotic component is separate from them. This can be achieved by having the particle population located within the same chamber. Alternatively, this separation can be achieved through a two-compartment sachet, a two-compartment capsule, and a multi-phase filling architecture. and / or dosage forms in which the components are arranged in separate layers or separate phases This can also be ensured. Thus, the precursor component and the probiotic component are supplied together until the moment of use. They can be kept separate from each other, but are presented to the user together within the same product format. This structure allows for the presentation of unwanted premature changes within the product. interactions and premature conversion reactions that may occur during storage It is possible to limit this; however, the precursor compounds in pomegranate extract In the intestinal environment, it combines with probiotic components to promote the formation of Urolitin A.
