The present invention relates to a composition containing as an active steroid ingredient a placenta extract from currently discarded placenta of a mammal such as a swine that is a natural substance and is known to have muscle strengthening effects, growth promotion effects, and disease therapeutic effects, and a method of preparing the placenta extract.
Anabolic steroid is defined as a testosterone derivative synthesized by changing a chemical structure of testosterone. This is known as a hormone that has a stronger effect than naturally existing testosterone. However, when excessively used, men's reproductive functions decrease and cardiovascular disorder may occur. Due to such side effects, the Olympic committee in 1964 prohibited sports players from taking anabolicsteroid.
In addition, although testosterone is administered to sexually dysfunctional men, testosterone may cause prostate cancer due to the conversion into dihydrotestosterone by 5α-reducing enzyme.
Meanwhile, placenta is a nutrition supplier that absorbs blood, rich in nutrition and oxygen, from a uterine wall of a mother body and supplies it to a fetus through an umbilical cord. Placenta is also rich in other nutrients including amino acids that are required for a human body and an active peptide that aid pharmaceutical activities, vitamins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. In addition, placenta further includes various growth factors, such as a hepatocyte growth factor, a neuron growth factor, an epithelial growth factor, a fibroblast growth factor, an insulin-like growth factor, or a growth factor for enhancing immunity.
Up to now, protein, lipid, nucleic acids, glycosaminoglycan, amino acids, vitamin, mineral, and the like were isolated and identified from placenta, and unknown components are expected to be also included in the placenta.
On this background, the inventors of the present invention studied to develop a natural extract from which a steroid hormone is obtained in great quantities and which does not cause inherent side effects of steroid, and defined various medical uses of a placenta extract based on the fact that the placenta extract promotes muscular stem cell proliferation, hematopoietic stem cell proliferation, increases the number of blood cells and an amount of hemoglobin, and expedites differentiation from preadipocytes into adipocyte cells, thereby completing the present invention.
The present invention is to most efficiently extract steroid hormones comprising, for example, nandrolone, from discarded placenta of a mammal, such as swine, in great quantities for use as a medicament or health food for the prevention and treatment of human disease, or stock feed additives.
That is, the present invention provides a composition for the treatment and prevention of: a steroid hormonal disorder-induced disease selected from the group consisting of sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, wasting muscular disorder, and aging; anemia disorder; or wound disorder, comprising a placenta extract as an active ingredient.
The present invention also provides a stock feed additive for controlling adipocytes differentiation, comprising a placenta extract as an active ingredient.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a composition includes a placenta extract as an active ingredient, wherein the placenta extract is obtained by extracting placenta with an extraction solvent selected from water, C1-4 alcohol, ethylacetate, chloroform, ether, hexane, dichloromethane, and a mixed solvent thereof.
In particular, the placenta extract according to the present invention may be used to treat or prevent disorder selected from: steroid hormonal disorder-induced disease selected from the group consisting of sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, wasting muscular disorder, and aging; anemia disorder; and wound disorder selected from the group consisting of abrasion, laceration, bruise, incised wound, avulsion wound, penetrating wound, contusion, dislocation, sprain, gunshot wound, burn, frostbite, skin ulcer, xeroderma, keratoderma, crack, split, dermatitis, osteonecrosis, pain from dermatophytosis, surgical or vascular disorder wound, cornea wound, bedsore, decubitus, suture site after plastic surgery, wound from spinal injury, gynaecological wound, and chemical wound.
In addition, the placenta extract according to the present invention may promote differentiation from preadipocyte into adipocyte cells.
The placenta extract according to the present invention is a natural substance including high concentrations of anabolic steroid and sex hormone. The placenta extract may reduce side effects that may occur when typical chemically synthesized anabolic steroid and sex hormone drugs are used. In particular, the placenta extract may be used as men's contraceptives, anti-osteoporosis drugs, anti-anemic drugs, therapeutic agents for wasting diseases of muscular atrophy, agents for treating a decrease in men's generative functions, therapeutic agents for wounds, or adipocyte differentiation stimulating agents for the improvement of meat quality of livestock.
The present invention provides a composition includes a placenta extract as an active ingredient, wherein the placenta extract is obtained by extracting placenta with an extraction solvent selected from water, C1-4 alcohol, ethylacetate, chloroform, ether, hexane, dichloromethane and a mixed solvent thereof.
A placenta used according to the present invention includes a placenta of a mammal, such as swine, bovine, horse, or the like. For example, the placenta may be the placenta of swine.
The placenta extract may be obtained from a placenta by using a mixed solvent including C1-4 alcohol and chloroform.
The placenta extract may be obtained by the extraction with 10 to 20 mL of the extraction solvent per 1 g of placenta tissues. When the amount of the extraction solvent is outside the lower limit of the range, extraction efficiency may be low so that the content of a nandrolone, which is type of anabolic steroid, in the placenta extract may be low, and when the amount of the extraction solvent is outside the upper limit of the range, manufacturing costs may be too high.
The placenta extract may be isolated by, after the extraction with the extraction solvent, additional adding of a physiological saline solution. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the placenta extract may be isolated by, after the extraction with the extraction solvent, additional adding of a basic material, such as sodium hydroxide, and then, neutralizing with an acidic material, such as a sulfuric acid or a hydrochloric acid. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the placenta extract may be isolated by, after the extraction with the extraction solvent, additional adding of a physiological saline solution, adding of a basic material, such as sodium hydroxide, and then, neutralizing of the resultant solution with an acidic material, such as a sulfuric acid or a hydrochloric acid.

Hereinafter, the present invention is described in detail with examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.
To most efficiently isolate steroid hormone in great quantities from swine placenta, amniotic fluids and sediments were completely removed from the swine placenta to obtain pure placenta. The obtained placenta was cut to a size of 10-30 g in advance to grind with a tissue homogenizer (Ultra-Turrax T25, IKA Co. USA), and the cut samples were frozen in a freezer at a temperature of −20° C.
As a solvent for extracting hormone of placenta, a mixed solution of chloroform (HPLC grade, SK Chemical Co. Seoul, Korea)/methanol (HPLC grade, Merck Co. Darmstadt, Germany) (50/50, v/v) was used. 25-50 g of placenta fragment was added to a 1000 mL beaker (Hanil Chemical Company, Seoul, Korea), and then, homogenized for 3 minutes by adding the mixed solution of chloroform/methanol thereto in an amount 8 times greater than that of the placenta fragment. When the homogenizing was completely performed, the resultant solution was filtered through Whatman No. 2 filtering paper to completely remove the residual remaining on the filtering paper.
The same amount of a 0.9% physiological saline solution was added to the prepared filtrate through a separation funnel (Hanil Chemical Company, Seoul, Korea), and then, smoothly shaken, and then, stood still for 10 minutes, and a lower layer was collected. From the collected material, an organic solvent was removed by evaporation by using a rotatory compressor, and then, the same amount of an ethanol/distilled water mixed solution (85/15, v/v) as that of the residual solution was added thereto and the mixture was homogeneously mixed.
Then, the same amount of 5M sodium hydroxide solution was added thereto and the mixture was heated in boiling water at a temperature of 80° C. for 45 minutes, followed by cooling at room temperature. A pH of the resultant solution was adjusted to be in a range of 2 to 3 using 6N sulfuric acid solution. The adjusted solution was divided and fractions thereof were placed in separation funnels, and ether in an amount a half of that of its corresponding solution was added thereto, followed by shaking to obtain a homogeneous solution, and standing still for 10 minutes to enable layer-separation. When layers are distinctively separated, the lower layers were placed in new separation funnels and a separation process was performed thereon. By doing so, a greater amount of extract was obtained. Thereafter, the lower layers were discarded, and the upper ether layers were collected and washed with distilled water, and only the ether layers were placed in a rotation decompression concentrator (1200 type, Eyela Co. Tokyo, Japan) for complete drying and concentrating. The concentrate was collected.
