Description

明 細 書  Specification
睡眠誘導用経口剤、ストレス性不眠症改善用経口剤  Oral agent for inducing sleep, oral agent for improving stress insomnia
技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は睡眠誘導剤、ストレス性不眠症改善剤に関するものである。  The present invention relates to a sleep inducer and a stress insomnia improving agent.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 睡眠は脳を発達させた動物たちの重要な生理機能であり,生存のために欠くことの できない行動である。睡眠力 まくとれないと,大脳の情報処理能力に悪影響が出る 。従って,発達した大脳をもつ高等動物ほど睡眠の役割は大きい。質のよい睡眠が あってはじめて,脳は高次の情報処理能力を発揮できる。  [0002] Sleep is an important physiological function of animals whose brains have developed, and is an indispensable behavior for survival. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain's ability to process information will be adversely affected. Therefore, higher animals with a developed cerebrum have a greater role for sleep. Only when there is good quality sleep, the brain can demonstrate high-level information processing capabilities.
近年、かってないほど,睡眠に対する関心が高くなつている。その大きな理由は 2 つある。一つは,脳科学の進歩によって,睡眠の重要性がしだいに認識されてきたこ とである。もう一つは,現代社会が睡眠を慢性的に犠牲にする活動様式になり,さま ざまな悪影響を生じたことである。  In recent years, there has been a greater interest in sleep than ever before. There are two main reasons. One is that the importance of sleep has gradually been recognized due to advances in brain science. Another is that modern society has become a mode of activity that chronically sacrifices sleep and has had various adverse effects.
[0003] 深刻な睡眠障害が世界的に増加しつつある。不眠に代表される睡眠障害の対策 はこれからますます比重を高めて!/、くことになる。 [0003] Serious sleep disorders are increasing worldwide. Measures for sleep disorders such as insomnia will increase the specific gravity from now on!
不眠症は人の健康を維持するために必要な睡眠時間が量的にあるいは質的に不 足し、そのために社会生活に支障をきたし、 自覚的にも悩んでいる状態である。不眠 症状がどのくらい続いているかによって、数日の場合には「一過性不眠」、 1〜3週間 の場合には「短期不眠」、 1ヶ月以上続く場合には「長期不眠」と呼ぶ。不眠の原因は さまざまであるが、多くの場合、何等かのストレスと関わること、そしてこのストレスは長 引くほど、不眠の症状が重くなる傾向がある。不眠に対しては睡眠薬、精神安定剤、 ストレス緩和剤などの投与が一般的な治療法として用いられている。  Insomnia is a state in which the amount of sleep time necessary to maintain a person's health is insufficient in terms of quantity or quality, which hinders social life and is also worried consciously. Depending on how long the symptoms of insomnia last, it is called “temporary insomnia” for a few days, “short-term insomnia” for 1-3 weeks, and “long-term insomnia” for more than a month. The causes of insomnia vary, but often they are associated with some form of stress, and the longer this stress is, the more likely the symptoms of insomnia become. For insomnia, the use of sleeping pills, tranquilizers, stress relievers, etc. is commonly used.
しかしながら、不眠症改善効果は対象者の心神的な状態や周囲の環境に大きく左 右されることと共に、使用した薬剤の作用点の特徴のほか、副作用や薬物依存性な どの理由で制限されることも多い。従って、これら睡眠薬、精神安定剤、ストレス緩和 剤の欠点を改善するために新たな医薬品及び機能性食品などの開発が必要とされ [0004] 本発明者らは以前の試験において、セリンゃホスファチジルセリンなどセリンュニッ トを有する化合物、あるいはグリシン、ホスファチジン酸などに抗不安効果を見出し、 特許出願を行った(特願 2005-029114号)。今回、その試験の延長として、 Lーセリン などの投与によりストレス負荷条件下で顕著に睡眠誘導効果が現れることを発見し、 その効果を見出した。 However, the effect of improving insomnia is greatly influenced by the psychological state of the subject and the surrounding environment, and is limited by the characteristics of the action point of the drug used, side effects and drug dependence. There are many things. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new medicines and functional foods in order to improve the drawbacks of these sleeping pills, tranquilizers and stress relievers. [0004] In the previous test, the present inventors found an anxiolytic effect on a compound having a serine unit such as serine phosphatidylserine, or glycine, phosphatidic acid, etc., and filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-029114). . This time, as an extension of the study, we discovered that administration of L-serine and the like showed a remarkable sleep-inducing effect under stress loading conditions, and found that effect.

The given group showed significant effects of inducing sleep and improving stress insomnia. On the other hand, there was no such effect in the L α-phosphatidylethanolamine (ΡΕ) administration group and the La phosphatidylcholine (PC) administration group.
PS、 Lyso-PS、 PEと PCは脂質部分に共通な構造を持つリン脂質であり、 PSと Lyso-P Sに睡眠誘導効果、ストレス性不眠症改善効果を示し、一方、 PEと PCにこの様な効果 を示していないことは、セリンユニット(Serine Unit)が睡眠誘導効果、ストレス性不眠 症改善効果を有することを裏づけた。  PS, Lyso-PS, PE and PC are phospholipids with a structure common to the lipid part. PS and Lyso-PS show sleep-inducing effects and stress-induced insomnia improvement effects, while PE and PC The fact that such an effect was not shown confirmed that the serine unit has a sleep-inducing effect and an effect of improving stress insomnia.
