DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a drug effective for circulatory system diseases. [0002] Uric acid is a metabolite of purines and is the final product in humans, and most of the uric acid produced in the body is excreted in the urine. However, an increase in the amount of uric acid in the body can lead to gout. Although the production, excretion, and effects of uric acid have been studied for a long time, there has been little research into its medicinal effects. Problems to be Solved by the Invention Although uric acid is well known for its side effects, such as causing gout, there has been little research into its efficacy. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors conducted extensive research to investigate its effects and found that it is useful as a therapeutic agent for circulatory system diseases. [0005] The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for circulatory system diseases containing uric acid as an active ingredient. In recent years, with the aging of the population, circulatory system diseases have become particularly important. There are various circulatory system diseases, and there is no need to limit the diseases in particular, but the present invention mainly targets hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia. [0006] Although little research has been conducted on the effects of uric acid, the present inventors have conducted extensive research into its effects and have discovered that it has vasodilatory effects and smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitory effects. The details will be described in the pharmacological studies section below, but these effects of uric acid indicate that uric acid can be a useful therapeutic agent for circulatory system diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia. [0007] Uric acid is usually administered orally, and its dosage forms include tablets, capsules, and granules. No special technique is required for formulation; it may be formulated according to known methods using excipients such as binders, fillers, lubricants, etc. depending on the dosage form. [0008] The dosage varies depending on symptoms, age, dosage form, etc., but it is usually preferable to administer 1 to 10,000 mg per day, once or in divided doses. Examples of pharmacological tests are shown below. "Pharmacological Test" Pharmacological Test 1 The vasodilatory effect of uric acid was investigated using rat aorta. (Method) Male Sprague-Dawley rats (
(8 to 10 weeks old) were killed by decapitation, and the thoracic aorta was removed. Literature (J. Pharmacol. Exp. T
her. , 234, 442-446 (1985))
An aortic ring was formed according to the method described above and suspended in an organ bath. The organ bath was kept at 37°C, and Krebs Ringer buffer (composition: sodium chloride 118mM, calcium chloride 2.5mM, potassium chloride 4.7mM, phosphoric acid 2
Sodium hydrogen 1.2mM, sodium hydrogen carbonate 25mM
M, glucose 11mM), fill 8ml with 95% O2
/5% CO2 gas mixture. Aortic ring contraction was detected by an isometric transducer and recorded on a pen recorder. A tension of 1 g was applied to the aortic ring, and changes in tension due to the addition of uric acid were observed. The first tension was observed without adding uric acid, the second tension was observed with uric acid added, and the third tension was observed again with uric acid removed. (Results) The results are shown in Table 1. [0013] These results indicate that uric acid significantly reduces vascular tension and has a vasodilatory effect. Pharmacological Test 2 Using serum, the inhibitory effect of uric acid on smooth muscle cell proliferation was investigated. (Method) Serum to which uric acid has been added is
5 ml of M199 culture solution containing 0% was dispensed into a 60 mm Petri dish, placed in a CO2 incubator, and incubated for 1 hour. The petri dish was taken out from the incubator, 0.1 ml of smooth muscle cell suspension (containing 1000 cells/ml) was dispensed, the cells were made uniform, and the dishes were placed in the CO2 incubator again and cultured for 10 days. Finally, the cells were fixed, stained with Giemsa, and the number of colonies was counted. Serum alone was used as a control, and the same procedure as in the case of serum with uric acid added was performed. (Results) The results are shown in Table 2. [0018] These results indicate that uric acid significantly inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation. Effects of the Invention The present invention uses uric acid as an active ingredient, and is effective in treating high blood pressure,
The present invention provides therapeutic agents useful for circulatory system diseases such as arteriosclerosis and hyperlipidemia.
