The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating cancer including a mixed extract of Angelica gigas, Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux, and Zingiber officinale Roscoe as an active ingredient, and more particularly to a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition, and a feed composition for preventing or treating cancer including a mixed extract of Angelica gigas, Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux, and Zingiber officinale Roscoe as an active ingredient; a method for preventing or treating cancer including a step of administering the pharmaceutical composition; and a use for preventing or treating cancer.
Cancer has been the leading cause of disease death in Korea, and more than about 100,000 people are diagnosed with cancer, and more than about 60,000 people died of cancer every year. Cancer, as the leading cause of death in the world as well, is one of the incurable diseases that humanity needs to solve. Accordingly, huge capital investment has been made and intensive research has been conducted to develop therapeutic agents for cancer worldwide. Since smoking, UV rays, chemicals, foods, and other environmental factors are known as carcinogens causing cancer, it is difficult to prevent or treat cancer due to the various factors as described above, and cancer occurs in various locations of the body. Also, different types of therapeutic agents are used according to types of cancer occurring in different locations of the body.
Substances currently used as therapeutic agents are considerably toxic and cannot selectively remove target cancer cells. Such therapeutic agents are not effective, and side effects may be caused thereby. Therefore, there is a need to develop an anticancer drug less toxic and more effective in preventing and treating cancer.
Meanwhile, Angelica gigas is a perennial plant belonging to the family Apiaceae, and dried roots of Angelica gigas are sweet and hot and have a warming medicinal property. Angelica gigas has effects on enriching the blood when there is poverty of the blood, increasing blood flow in coronary arteries, and promoting erythropoiesis.
Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux is prepared by processing lateral roots of aconite belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. In general, salted aconite is desalted by soaking in water and changing water twice to three times every day. When the aconite is completely desalted, the aconite is boiled together with licorice and black beans until the inside is cooked through. When the tongue is not numb with a cut piece of the boiled aconite, the aconite is peeled, cut into thin slices or two or three pieces, and dried in the sun. A product obtained therefrom is referred to as Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux, which has a spicy and hot taste, opens a gateway to the human body, strengthens the base of the human body, and has effects on warming the spleen and stomach.
Zingiber officinale Roscoe is prepared by using dried rhizomes of ginger and has a particular smell and spicy and hot medicinal properties. The outer bark is grayish-yellow, and the outer surface is grayish-white with white powder attached thereto. Zingiber officinale Roscoe is effective on ameliorating symptoms such as cold and mild pain in the chest and stomach, abdominal coldness, dyspepsia, vomiting, and diarrhea. Also, Zingiber officinale Roscoe is used to treat weak pulse, cold and tingling limbs, chronic cough caused by cold air, shortness of breath, coldness in the lower abdomen, and dysenteric diarrhea. Pharmacological effects include promoting gastric secretion, activating peristalsis of intestinal tract, accelerating digestion, reducing vomiting, and stimulating the heart to increase blood pressure and promote blood circulation. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial actions are also obtained thereby.
As described above, although various pharmacological effects of Angelica gigas, Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux, and Zingiber officinale Roscoe are known, anticancer effects of a mixed extract thereof have not been discovered so far, and no research thereon has been conducted.
With this background, as a result of intensive efforts to develop a novel anticancer drug, the present inventors have found that a mixed extract of Angelica gigas, Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux, and Zingiber officinale Roscoe has effects on specifically suppressing proliferation of various cancer cells and reducing cancer cell viability, thereby completing the present invention.
