TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The present invention relates to a composition for
preventing, improving or treating a muscle disorder or improving
muscle function, and more particularly, to a composition for
preventing, improving or treating a muscle disorder or improving
muscle function, which includes 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid or a
Chrysanthemum extract.
BACKGROUND ART
[0004] Over the past 50 to 100 years, the decline in human physical
activity has been known to be associated with an increased
incidence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity,
cardiovascular diseases, etc. The lack of physical activity is the
fourth leading cause of death, as reported by the World Health
Organization. Due to this phenomenon, organizations such as the
World Health Organization, the American Heart Association and the
British Heart Foundation recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of
aerobic exercise for at least five days a week. In fact, it has
been reported that exercise reduces the incidence of diabetes,
obesity, breast cancer and colon cancer, and has a high therapeutic
effect on depression (Br. J. Pharmacol., 170: 1153-1166, 2013; Am.
J. Cardiol., 110: 58B-68B, 2012).
[0005] Skeletal muscle fibers are generally classified as type 1
(oxidative/slow) and type 2 (glycolytic/fast) fibers, and muscle
fibers exhibit significant differences in shrinkage, metabolism and
susceptibility to fatigue. The type 1 fiber has a large number of
mitochondria and mainly uses an oxidative metabolism for energy
generation, and therefore stably provides ATP for a long time to
withstand fatigue. Therefore, muscle wasting does not occur in the
skeletal muscles with a lot of type 1 fibers (Muscle Nerve, 31:
339-348, 2005). Type 2 fibers have low contents of mitochondria and
oxidases and are dependent on a glycolytic metabolism as a main
energy source such that the fibers become easily tired.
[0006] Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor .delta.
(PPAR.delta.) is a main transcription regulatory factor which is
highly present in a skeletal muscle, particularly, type 1 fiber (10
fold of PPAR.alpha., and 50 fold of PPAR.delta.), activates enzymes
involved in .beta.-oxidation of a long-chain fatty acid to burn
fats in adipose cells (Cell, 113: 159-170, 2003), and is the first
transcription factor which promotes type 1 fibrosis. Such
PPAR.delta. is known to be involved in a complicated pathway for
regulating mitochondrial biogenesis upon activation and promoting
exercise performance and resistance to obesity (PLoS Biol., 2:
1532-1539, 2004). Therefore, type 1 fibers generated adaptively
through exercise are known to be resistant to fatigue. However, it
has been reported that the same effects have been exhibited even
when overexpression of PPAR.delta. is artificially overexpressed in
muscles without 002exercise. As a result of artificially
overexpression of PPAR.delta. in mouse muscles, mitochondrial
biogenesis was increased, and the expression of fatty acid
beta-oxidase and an increase in type 1 muscle fibers led to 67% and
92% increases in time and a distance for continuous running,
compared with normal rats, respectively (PLoS Biol., 2: 1532-1539,
2004). Therefore, when PPAR.delta. is activated, the form of a
muscle fiber may be changed, resulting in enhancement of exercise
performance.
[0007] As one of the representative methods for enhancing exercise
performance by promoting energy consumption, there is a method of
producing ATP energy by increasing fatty acid oxidation by
mitochondria. It has been discovered that the number and ability of
mitochondria involved in this method are regulated by a peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha
(PGC-1.alpha.) coactivator, and PGC-1.alpha. activity is regulated
by sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) (EMBO. J., 26:1913-1923, 2007, Cell Metab., 1:
361-370, 2005).
[0008] Muscle atrophy occurs by a gradual decrease in muscle mass,
and refers to muscular weakness and degeneration (Cell, 119(7):
907-910, 2004). Muscle atrophy is promoted by inactivity, oxidative
stress or chronic inflammation, and weakens muscle function and
exercise performance (Clin. Nutr., 26(5): 524-534, 2007). The most
important factor determining muscle function is muscle mass, which
is maintained by a balance of protein synthesis and degradation.
Muscle atrophy occurs when protein degradation happens more than
protein synthesis (Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol., 37(10): 1985-1996,
2005).
[0009] When a transcription factor, forkhead box (FoxO), migrates
into the nucleus from the cytoplasm, expression of E3 ubiquitin
ligase factor atrogin-1 and muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF-1),
which are involved in protein degradation, is increased (Dis.
Model. Mech., 6: 25-39, 2013). When their expression levels are
increased, protein degradation in muscles is promoted, thereby
reducing muscle mass. Therefore, the inhibition of atrogin-1
expression reduces a loss of the amount of muscular proteins to
maintain normal muscle function.
[0010] The scientific name of Chrysanthemum is Chrysanthemum
morifolium Ramat., which is generally used for ornamental plants,
for making Chrysanthemum tea using flower thereof, and for a salad,
soup or alcohol (Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants, 7:
250-269, 2012). It has been reported that Chrysanthemum has an
antioxidative effect (Afr. J. Biotechnol., 10(82): 19197-19202,
2011), an anti-tuberculosis action (Biol. Pharm. Bull.,
28(1):158-160, 2005), and an anticancer effect (Cancer Lett., 177:
7-12, 2002).
[0011] It has been reported that 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid
contained in Chrysanthemum has an antiviral effect (Biochem,
Pharmacol., 49: 1165-1170, 1995), an antiallergic effect (J. Agric.
Food Chem., 54: 2915-2920, 2006), and a neuroprotective effect
(Phytother. Res., 19: 243-245, 2005).
[0012] However, an exercise performance-enhancing effect of
Chrysanthemum and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid or effects of
preventing and improving a muscle disorder have not been known
yet.

[0061] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in
detail.
Pharmaceutical Composition for Preventing or Treating Muscle
Disorder
[0062] The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition
for preventing or treating a muscle disorder containing a
Chrysanthemum extract as an active ingredient.
[0063] The Chrysanthemum extract may include 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic
acid of Formula 1 below as an active ingredient.
[0064] The Chrysanthemum may be a plant of the genus Chrysanthemum
in the family Asteraceae, and is called Chrysanthemum morifolium,
but the present invention is not limited thereto. Here, the leaves,
stems, flowers, root, skin or fruit of the Chrysanthemum, or a
mixture thereof may be subjected to extraction.
[0065] Specifically, the Chrysanthemum extract may be extracted
using water, an organic solvent having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a
mixture thereof as a solvent. Here, the organic solvent may be one
or more selected from the group consisting of a C1 to C4 lower
alcohol, acetone, ether, benzene, chloroform, ethyl acetate,
methylene chloride, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, but
the present invention is not limited.
[0066] In addition, the lower alcohol used in extraction of the
Chrysanthemum is more preferably ethanol or methanol, and most
preferably ethanol. Specifically, in the case of using ethanol as a
solvent for extraction of the Chrysanthemum, when a 10 to 95%
ethanol aqueous solution is used, an effect of enhancing exercise
performance and an activity to inhibit muscular protein degradation
may be more significantly exhibited in preparation of a
Chrysanthemum extract. More specifically, when the Chrysanthemum
extract is prepared, a 30 to 95% ethanol aqueous solution is
preferably used as a solvent, but the present invention is not
limited thereto.
[0067] In extraction, dry Chrysanthemum may be ground, and then
water, an alcohol or a mixture thereof is preferably added 2 to 20
fold, and more preferably, added 3 to 10 fold, the weight of the
ground Chrysanthemum, but the present invention is not limited
thereto. An extraction temperature is preferably 20 to 100.degree.
C., and more preferably 60 to 100.degree. C., but the present
invention is not limited thereto. The extraction time is preferably
1 to 10 hours, and more preferably 2 to 5 hours, but the present
invention is not limited thereto. An extraction method can be any
one of cold extraction, ultrasonic extraction and reflux cooling
extraction, and the reflux cooling extraction is preferably used,
but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of
extraction cycles is preferably 1 to 5 times, and more preferably 2
or 3 times, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0068] In addition, the Chrysanthemum extract may be attained by
ultra-high pressure extraction, subcritical fluid extraction or
supercritical fluid extraction.
[0069] The present invention may also provide a pharmaceutical
composition for preventing or treating a muscle disorder, which
contains a compound of Formula 1 below or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient:
##STR00004##
[0070] The compound of Formula 1 is called 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic
acid.
[0071] The structural name of the 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid is
(3R,5R)-3,5-bis[[(E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]oxy]-1,4-dihydro-
xycyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid, and corresponds to CAS No.
89919-62-0.
[0072] As the compound of Formula 1, a compound isolated or
synthesized from a Chrysanthemum extract or may be a
commercially-available compound may be used.
[0073] The composition according to the present invention may
inhibit muscle loss. Specifically, as mRNA expression of atrogin-1
and MuRF1, which are the main biomarkers involved in muscle protein
degradation, may be decreased, and mRNA expression of the mTOR
protein, which is the main biomarker involved in formation of a
muscle protein and myogenin and MyoD, which are biomarkers related
to muscle differentiation, may be increased, the composition may be
used in prevention or treatment of a muscle disorder.
[0074] The muscle disorder of the present invention may be a muscle
disorder caused by a decrease in muscle function, muscle wasting or

or 10 .mu.g/mL, and used to treat the cells. After 6 hours, total
RNA was isolated with a TRIzol reagent (Takara, Shiga, Japan). The
isolated total RNA was quantified using a NanoDrop 1000 (Thermo
Fisher Scientific Inc.). cDNA was synthesized from 16 .mu.L of the
quantified RNA using a Reverse Transcriptase Premix (ELPIS-Biotech,
Daejeon, Korea) and a PCR machine (Gene Amp PCR System 2700;
Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif., USA) under conditions of
42.degree. C. for 55 minutes and 70.degree. C. for 15 minutes. PCR
was performed in 30 cycles using 4 .mu.L out of 16 .mu.L of the
produced cDNA, specific primers (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea) below and
a PCR premix (ELPIS-Biotech) at 95.degree. C. for 30 seconds,
60.degree. C. for 1 minutes, and 72.degree. C. for 1 minute. The
sequences of the primers used in the PCR are shown in Table 1
below. The cDNA amplified by PCR was isolated by electrophoresis
using a 1.5% agarose gel, and cDNA bands were identified using a
G;BOX EF imaging system (Syngene, Cambridge, UK). The result is

[0145] Consequently, as shown in FIG. 7, expression levels of the
major biomarkers related to muscle protein degradation, such as
atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, significantly increased (##p<0.01) due to
TNF-.alpha., and the mRNA expression levels of atrogin-1 and
MuRF-1, increased by TNF-.alpha., were significantly decreased
(**p<0.01) by treating the 30% ethanol extract of Chrysanthemum.
This means that the 30% ethanol extract of Chrysanthemum according
to the present invention has an excellent ability to inhibit muscle
protein degradation in muscle cells.
Experimental Example 3. Muscle Protein Synthesis-Promoting Activity
of 30% Ethanol Extract of Chrysanthemum
[0146] To confirm the muscle protein expression-increasing activity
of a Chrysanthemum extract in L6 myoblasts (ATCC), which are muscle
cells, after differentiation by the same method as described in
Experimental Example 2, a sample was treated with the 30% ethanol
extract of Chrysanthemum prepared in Example 1-(2) at 1 or 10
.mu.g/mL. The samples were treated for 24 hours, and then the cells
were dissolved in an NP-40 buffer solution (ELPIS-Biotech)
containing a proteinase inhibitor cocktail (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.,
USA). The cells dissolved in the buffer solution were transferred
to a 1.5 mL tube for centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes,
and then only a supernatant was taken. The supernatant obtained
previously was quantified by a Bradford method (Bio-Rad
Laboratories Inc., Hercules, Calif., USA). The quantified protein
was boiled for 5 minutes and isolated by electrophoresis with a 10%
SDS-PAGE gel, and then the isolated proteins were transferred to a
nitrocellulose membrane. p-mTOR, mTOR, p-4EBP1, 4EBP1, p-P70S6K and
P70S6K and an .alpha.-tubulin primary antibody were diluted in 2.5%
bovine serum albumin (BSA; bioWORLD, Dublin, Ohio, USA) at a ratio
of 1:1000, and the proteins which were transferred to a
nitrocellulose membrane were reacted at room temperature for 20
hours. After the reaction with the primary antibody, the
nitrocellulose membrane was washed with Tris-buffer Saline Tween 20
(TBST) three times for 10 minutes. After washing, a secondary
antibody recognizing the primary antibody was diluted in 2.5% BSA
at a ratio of 1:5000, and reacted with the nitrocellulose membrane
at room temperature for 2 hours, and then the nitrocellulose
membrane was washed with TBST three times each for 10 minutes.
Protein bands were detected with western blotting detection
reagents (Amersham, Tokyo, Japan), and visualized using a G;BOX EF
imaging system (Syngene). The result is shown in FIG. 8.
[0147] As shown in FIG. 8, protein expression levels of p-mTOR,
p-4EBP1 and p-P70S6K, which are main biomarkers related to muscle
protein production, were significantly decreased by TNF-.alpha.
(##p<0.01), and the p-mTOR, p-4EBP1 and p-P70S6K protein
expression levels, which were reduced by TNF-.alpha., were
significantly increased by the treatment with the 30% ethanol
extract of Chrysanthemum (**p<0.01). This means that the 30%
ethanol extract of Chrysanthemum of the present invention has an
excellent ability to increase muscle production in muscle
cells.

of 30% Ethanol Extract of Chrysanthemum
[0148] To confirm the muscle differentiation-promoting activity of

to induced myotube differentiation by the same method as described
in Experimental Example 1-(6). RT-PCR was performed with specific
primers (Bioneer) by the same method as described in Experimental
Example 2, and the result is shown in FIG. 9.

[0149] As shown in FIG. 9, when the 30% ethanol extract of
Chrysanthemum was treated, mRNA expression of MyoD and myogenin,
which are main genes related to differentiation activity of muscle
cells, was significantly increased (**p<0.01). This means that
