5gの乾燥したアシュワガンダ葉の粉末に100mLの滅菌水を加え、40℃で一晩ゆっくりと撹拌した。得られたスラリー状の混合物を室温に戻し、ろ紙(ワットマン;グレードNo.4)でろ過した後、10,000rpmで20分間遠心分離し、上澄みを0.45μmのフィルタを用いて滅菌ろ過してアシュワガンダ葉の水抽出物を得た。得られた水抽出物はそのまま後の試験に用いた。
比較例1と同様の方法で得られたアシュワガンダ葉の水抽出物に、γ-シクロデキストリンを10%の濃度となるように加えた。得られた混合物を、室温下60rpmで20時間撹拌した後、3500rpmで5分間遠心分離し、得られた沈殿物をアシュワガンダ葉の水抽出物とγ-シクロデキストリンとの複合体として回収した。
実施例1-3及び比較例1の水抽出物並びに実施例4の複合体のウィザノン及びウィザフェリンAの含量をHPLC分析により測定した。実施例1-3及び比較例1の抽出物は、得られた水抽出物をそのままHPLC分析に用いて、ウィザノン及びウィザフェリンAの含量をそれぞれの標準品を用いて算出した。実施例4の複合体は、ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)に溶解させた後、HPLC分析により、ウィザノン及びウィザフェリンAの含量をそれぞれの標準品を用いて算出した。HPLCは以下の条件で行った。

ヒト骨肉腫細胞(U2OS、American Type Culture Collection(ATCC、Manassas、VA)より入手)を、ダルベッコ改変イーグル培地(DMEM、インビトロジェン社)に10%ウシ胎児血清を添加した培地を用い、加湿インキュベータ(37℃、5%CO2)中で培養した。細胞を40~60%コンフルエントまで培養した後、所定の投与量の実施例1-3及び比較例1の水抽出物並びに実施例4の複合体でそれぞれ処理した。処理は、細胞を37℃で培養しながら、典型的には48時間かけて行った。
HT1080細胞(ヒト繊維肉腫細胞、JCRB生物資源バンクより入手)による皮下異種移植モデルのマウスを用いて、実施例4の複合体及び比較例1の水抽出物についてin vivo抗腫瘍アッセイを行った。
(実施例5)
アシュワガンダ葉の乾燥粉末の調製
アシュワガンダ葉の乾燥粉末は、ウィザノン/ウィザフェリンAの比が高いアシュワガンダ葉を45~50℃で乾燥し、粉砕することにより得た。得られた粉末は紫外線照射により滅菌し、真空パック中で28℃以下で保存した。
HT1080細胞(ヒト繊維肉腫細胞、JCRB生物資源バンクより入手)による皮下異種移植モデルのマウスを用いて、アシュワガンダ葉の乾燥粉末及びγ-シクロデキストリンの共投与群と、アシュワガンダ葉の乾燥粉末の単独投与群のそれぞれについてin vivo抗腫瘍アッセイを行った。
