Description

Use of mulberry extract in preparing medicine for treating and / or preventing prostate diseases Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to use of a mulberry extract in preparing a medicine for treating and / or preventing prostate diseases. Background Art

[0002] The human prostate is a hormone-dependent organ. Starting at around 40 years old, the transitional zone of the prostate begins to grow slowly at a rate of 1.6% per year, and this rate accelerates with age.

[0003] Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a urological disease that commonly affects middle-aged and elderly men. Its primary manifestations are histological proliferation of prostatic stromal and glandular components, anatomical prostate enlargement, clinical symptoms primarily characterized by lower urinary tract symptoms, and urodynamic bladder outlet obstruction. Prostate volume enlargement occurs in over 50% of men over 50 years old, and in as many as 90% of men over 80 years old. The incidence of BPH continues to rise with the aging population. Numerous factors contribute to the development of BPH, including age, sex hormones, growth factors, and chronic inflammation. Sex hormone imbalance is the primary cause of BPH. Prostate growth depends on the synergistic effects of estrogen and androgen, and an imbalance in the estrogen-androgen ratio contributes to the development and progression of BPH. Clinically, medications used to treat BPH include α-blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, M receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, and β3-agonists.

[0004] Prostatitis refers to a prostate disease caused by a variety of complex factors, with urethral irritation and chronic pelvic pain as the primary clinical manifestations. Prostatitis is a common disease in urology, ranking first among male urology patients under 50 years old. Its overall prevalence in China is approximately 26.78%. Based on the prostatitis classification system established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1995, it is categorized into acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP), chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP), chronic prostatitis (CP) / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), and asymptomatic prostatitis. Nonbacterial prostatitis is far more common than bacterial prostatitis. CP / CPPS is the most common type of prostatitis in clinical practice, accounting for over 90% of chronic prostatitis cases. Clinically, it primarily presents with lower abdominal and perineal pain or pelvic discomfort, as well as lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Some patients also experience psychological disturbances such as anxiety, depression, and fear, as well as sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. These symptoms severely impact patients' physical and mental health and quality of life, while also increasing the socioeconomic burden. Currently, medications used to treat prostatitis include alpha-blockers, antibiotics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

[0005] Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis not only seriously endanger patients' physical health but also their mental health. Treatments primarily rely on Western medicine, which primarily aims to alleviate symptoms. These medicines are associated with numerous adverse reactions, lack specificity, and offer suboptimal long-term efficacy. Therefore, it is imperative to identify treatments for prostate disease with minimal side effects and a favorable prognosis. Summary of the Invention

[0090] Preparation Example 1 of Mulberry Extract

[0091] 1000 kg of fresh mulberry branches (fine-toothed mulberry, Yuesang No. 11) were crushed and added to 4000 L of water. The extracts were then heated and refluxed for 2 hours. The combined extracts were filtered to remove insoluble matter to obtain a crude extract. The crude extract was heat-concentrated to a solids content of 4% by weight and then heated to 50°C to serve as the loading solution for a cationic resin column.

[0092] A 150 kg column of D113 macroporous weakly acidic phenyl propylene-based cationic resin was loaded and washed with 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid until the eluate pH reached 4.5; then with 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide until the eluate pH reached 8.5; and finally with 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid until the eluate pH reached 4.5. The column was then rinsed with 5 column volumes of deionized water to complete activation. The concentrated extract was loaded and then eluted with 1000 L of 2.5 mol / L ammonia at a rate of 6 BV / h. The eluate from the cation column was collected when the pH was >7. When the collected solution reached 900 L, the collection was stopped and the collected solution was directly passed through an anion column for purification.

[0093] Activate the column using 62.5 kg of D218 macroporous, strongly basic acrylic anion resin. Elute with 1.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution until the eluate has a pH of 9.0. Elute with 1.5 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution until the eluate has a pH of 3.5. Finally, elute with 1.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution until the eluate has a pH of 9.0. The collected eluate from the cationic resin is loaded onto the anionic resin, and the effluent is collected until 920 L of effluent is reached.

[0094] The collected liquid was centrifuged to remove impurities and then concentrated using a reverse ion osmosis membrane. The concentrated liquid had a specific gravity of 1.25 and was transferred to an alcohol precipitation tank. 25 L of anhydrous ethanol was added with a stirring paddle at 500 rpm. After the ethanol addition was complete, stirring was stopped and the mixture was allowed to settle for 24 hours. The supernatant was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a mulberry branch extract (i.e., mulberry extract SZ-A).

[0095] The mulberry branch extract contains 52% by weight of alkaloids, 22% by weight of polysaccharides, 0.8% by weight of flavonoids, and 20% by weight of amino acids. Among the alkaloids, the content of 1-DNJ is 60%, FAG is 17%, and DAB is 15%.

[0096] Preparation Example 2 of Mulberry Extract

[0097] Take 10kg of fresh mulberry branches (Sang Teyou No. 2), crush them, add 150L of water, add them twice, extract them by decoction for 3h each time, combine the extracts, and filter to remove insoluble matter. The extract is hot concentrated until the solid content reaches 8%, then transferred to an alcohol precipitation tank, and 2367.9g of absolute ethanol (3L) is added under a stirring paddle at 300rpm. After the ethanol addition is complete, stop stirring, precipitate with alcohol for 24h, and take the supernatant as the loading liquid for a cationic resin column. Use 5kg of 002SC type strong acid styrene cationic resin to fill the column, and activate the cationic resin according to the method of Preparation Example 1. Load the extract after concentrated alcohol precipitation, then use 100L of 5mol / L potassium chloride to elute, with an elution rate of 5BV / h, and detect the effluent with 20% silicotungstic acid. Start collecting when a white precipitate is generated. Stop collecting when the collected liquid reaches 25L, and the collected liquid is directly purified by anion column.

[0098] A 10 kg column of 711 strong base styrene anion resin was loaded and activated according to the method of Preparation Example 1. The collected cationic resin eluate was loaded onto the anion resin, and the effluent was collected until the effluent reached 15 L. The collected eluate was reloaded onto the cationic resin and separated twice more using the cationic resin and anion resin, respectively, according to the above method.

[0099] The collected liquid obtained after three column separations was centrifuged for impurity removal and then concentrated using a reverse ion osmosis membrane. The concentrated liquid had a specific gravity of 1.25 and was transferred to an alcohol precipitation tank. 125 g of anhydrous ethanol was added under a stirring paddle at 1000 rpm.

[0135] 2. Efficacy test of mulberry extract

[0136] Experimental Example 1: HFD diet-induced obese C57BL / 6 mouse model

[0137] Forty-five healthy male C57BL / 6 mice aged six weeks were randomly divided into a normal group (Chow), a high-fat model group (HFD), and a mulberry extract group (SZ-A), with nine mice in each group (see Table 1 below for specific experimental grouping and dosage). The mulberry extract was the mulberry branch extract prepared in Preparation Example 9. The mice in the normal group were fed with a basal diet, while the model group and the SZ-A group were fed with a high-fat diet (Research Diet, D12492, 60kcal% Fat); after feeding for eight weeks, each experimental group was given a corresponding dose of the test drug for six consecutive weeks. During the treatment period, the high-fat diet was continued, and the body weight and food and water intake of the animals were monitored. The model group was given normal saline. After the experiment, samples were collected for efficacy evaluation.

[0138] Table 1 Experimental groups and drug administration methods

[0139] Detection indicators:

[0140] 1) ELISA kit was used to detect serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.

[0141] 2) Prostate tissue was obtained for HE staining and the tissue morphology was observed under a microscope.

[0142] Experimental results:

[0143] Figure 1 shows that compared with the normal group, the serum PSA level in the model group mice was significantly increased, indicating prostate tissue lesions. SZ-A significantly reduced the serum PSA level in mice compared with the model group. PSA is a single-chain glycoprotein secreted by prostate epithelial cells and belongs to the kininase family of proteins. It is present in prostate tissue and semen, but its content in normal human serum is extremely low.

[0144] Figure 2 shows that in the blank group, the prostate glandular epithelial cells were single-layered and cuboidal, with finger-like protrusions visible in some areas, distinct glandular spaces, and clear tissue structure, with no abnormalities observed. Regular acini gradually tapered to low-cuboidal cells, arranged in a uniform single layer. In the model group, the glandular epithelial cells within the prostate ducts significantly proliferated, losing polarity and forming a stratified or pseudostratified structure that protruded into the glandular lumen. The epithelial cells were clustered and closely spaced within the glandular lumen, forming a sieve-like structure within the lumen, and the glandular lumen was significantly smaller. The glandular wall was significantly thickened, the density of the acini increased, the spaces between the ducts decreased significantly, and some adjacent glandular ducts were arranged back-to-back. Inflammatory cells were present in the glandular interstitium, and localized fibrous tissue proliferation was observed. Prostate tissue lesions in the SZ-A group all showed significant improvement, as evidenced by the single-layered cuboidal epithelial cells in some prostate ducts, enlarged glandular spaces, relatively clear tissue structure, and significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration in the glandular interstitium.

[0145] The above results show that SZ-A significantly reduces serum PSA levels and alleviates prostate tissue lesions, suggesting that SZ-A has a certain improvement effect on both prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis.

[0146] Experimental Example 2: Effect of SZ-A on Human Prostate Hyperplasia Cell Model

[0147] Human prostate hyperplasia (BPH-1) cells were cultured in BPH-1-specific culture medium (RPMI-1640 + 20% FBS + 20 ng / mL testosterone + 0.5% ITS-G (100×) + 1% P / S). Cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin and harvested. Cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 3 × 10 cells / well, with six replicates per group. After 24 hours of inoculation, adherent growth was observed until confluence reached approximately 50%. Cells were washed twice with PBS and then treated with 100 μL of complete culture medium containing different concentrations of SZ-A. SZ-A was replaced with saline as a control group. After 24 hours of exposure, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added in the dark. Two hours later, absorbance was measured using a microplate reader (at a wavelength of 450 nm, after continuous shaking for 15 seconds). Cell viability = (OD value of the treatment group - OD value of the blank control group) / (OD value of the control group - OD value of the blank control group × 100%). Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. The results for BPH-1 cell viability in groups A1-A4 are shown in Figure 3 , and those in groups B1-B4 are shown in Figure 4 .

[0148] The groups and dosing were as follows:

[0149] Group A1: control group;

[0150] Group A2: drug administration group, 400 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as extract, SZ-A is the Morus alba extract in Preparation Example 1);

[0151] Group A3: drug administration group, 400 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as extract, SZ-A is the Morus alba extract in Preparation Example 2);

[0152] Group A4: drug administration group, 400 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as extract, SZ-A is the Morus alba extract in Preparation Example 4);

[0153] Group B1: control group;

[0154] Group B2: drug administration group, 200 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as alkaloids, SZ-A is the mulberry branch extract in Preparation Example 3);

[0155] Group B3: drug administration group, 200 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as alkaloids, SZ-A is the mulberry branch extract in Preparation Example 7);

[0156] Group B4: drug administration group, 200 μg / mL SZ-A (calculated as alkaloids, SZ-A is the mulberry branch extract in Preparation Example 4);

[0157] The experimental results in Figures 3 and 4 show that SZ-A can inhibit the proliferation of BPH-1 cells.
