FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure is directed to the field of herbal compositions, and in particular relates to a composition for treating / ameliorating pain due to inflammation. The present disclosure is further directed to a process of preparation of said composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders, such as arthritis, and osteoarthritis, are associated with severe pain thereby severely impairing the quality of life. Current treatment of these disorders includes administering first line drugs, such as non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as celecoxib, ibuprofen, aspirin etc, to control of pain and inflammation. All these drugs have severe side effects and most of them are cytotoxic. For example, non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can have a variety of toxic side effects such as gastric erosion and adverse effects on kidneys and liver. [003] In the recent years herbal compositions are being increasingly used as desirable alternatives to synthetic drugs for treatment of these disorders. For example, US6264995B1 describes an herbal composition reducing inflammation in bones and joints by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 is prepared from holy basil, turmeric, ginger, green tea, rosemary, huzhang, Chinese goldthread, barberry, oregano and Scutellariae baicalensis. US5494668 describes a method of treating degenerative musculoskeletal diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in an animal, typically a human, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the beneficiated extracts of the plants Withania somnifera, Boswellia serrata, Curcuma longa, and Zingiber officinale in a predetermined proportion relative to each other.
[004] US5120538 describes naturally occurring pharmaceutical compositions, more particularly, those compositions comprising essential oils extracted from tissues of Curcuma domestica or Curcuma xanthorrhiza or a combination of both oils and curcuminoid substantially free of bis-desmethoxycurcumin, which are useful as anti-inflammatory agents. US5707631 is directed to a therapeutic herbal composition including Trigonella foenum-graecum seed, Syzygium aromaticum fruit, Allilum sativum bulb, Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark, Saussurea costus root and Euphorbia lathyris bud together with sodium chloride for treatment of arthritis. Considering the above evidence, there exists a need to develop compositions which could be effective for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with minimal/no side effects. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[00141] Adhatoda vasica has long been known for pain reduction, and Mucuna
pruriens, a legume, is known for its reduction of stress levels in the body. The present invention describes a synergistically enhanced pain reduction of Adhatoda vasica when used in combination with Mucuna pruriens, and its ability to up-regulate expression of
prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) activity in human primary chondrocytes. Mucunapruriens extract and the Adhatoda vasica extract were obtained commercially from Sami labs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human Osteoclast Culture
[00142] Human osteoclast precursor cells, osteoclast basal media and supplements
(SingleQuotes®), and trypsin/EDTA were purchased from Lonza India (Cat # 2T-110; PT-8201 USA). Osteoclasts were cultured in osteoclast basal media supplemented with SingleQuotes in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Cells were maintained in T-25 flasks, and the culture media was changed once every two days. When osteoclasts reached 80-90% confluence, they were trypsinized using trypsin/EDTA, and 1.5 x 105 cells were used to establish the next culture in another T-25 flask. Cells from the third passage were used for the experiments. Osteoclasts were counted using a haemocytometer, and 2 x 105 cells were seeded into each well in 12 well plates. For differentiation the osteoclasts were maintained in culture till 100% confluent in basal medium (Basal medium supplemented with FBS, GA-1000, 0.5ml.) at 37°C, in a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02. Subsequently, differentiation was induced for a week by the OCP differentiation medium (OCP medium supplemented with penicillin-streptomycin 10K/10K, Fetal Bovine Serum, L-glutamine M-csf for Opdm kit, Soluble rank ligand for Opdm kit, Lyophilized; Cat # PT-8001). Human Chondrocytes (HCH)Culture
[00143] Human Chondrocytes (HCH) obtained from PromoCell (Cat # C-12710). The
cells were cultured in Chondrocyte Growth Medium SupplementMix (Cat # C-39635) with 10%) fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% of penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen) at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% C02. Muscle cells
[00144] Skeletal muscle cells (C2C12) obtained from ATCC -CRL-1772. The cells
were cultured in complete Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) (Sigma Aldrich) with 10%o fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% of penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen) at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. Cell viability:
[00145] Viability of cells were determined by reduction of (Thiazolyl Blue
Tetrazolium Blue (MTT) (Sigma) to formazan. Cells were seeded in culture plates and cultured for 24h. After treatment immediately changed serum free medium and cultured for 24 hours. MTT assay was performed. MTT (2 mg/ml in PBS) was added to each well. Cells were incubated at 37°C for 30 min and DMSO (100 ul) was added to dissolve the formazan
crystals. The absorbance was measured at 560 nm using an ELISA reader (Thermo Fisher,
Germany).
PGE2 immunoassay
[00146] Cells were seeded into each well of 12-well plates until 80% confluent. The
cells were then maintained in serum-free media and treated with natural compounds for 24 h.
After an incubation period of 16 h, the amount of PGE2 released into the medium was
determined. To measure PGE2, PGE2 EIA kit was used (Enzo Life sciences; Cat no- ADI-
900-001). Briefly, samples were incubated with PGE2 EIA conjugate (cat no- 80-0002) and
PGE2 EIA antibody (cat no- 80-0003) at room temperature for 2 hours at 500 rpm on a plate
shaker. Excess reagents were washed off and substrate (cat no- 80-0075) was added. After a
short incubation time the enzyme reaction was stopped, and yellow colour generated was read
on a microplate reader at 405 nm.
Wound healing assay
[00147] Wound healing assay performed with C2C12 cells. Cells were seeded into a
24-well culture dish until 90% confluent. The cells were then maintained in serum-free
medium for 12 h. The monolayers were carefully scratched using a 200-ul pipette tip. The
cellular debris were subsequently removed by washing with PBS, and the cells were treated
with natural compounds and incubated in medium with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco).
The wound closures were measured under microscope. The wound closures were
photographed at 0 and 24 hours to monitor the migration of cells into the wounded area, and
the closure of the wounded area was calculated.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
[00148] Mucuna pruriens extract and the Adhatoda vasica extract were obtained
commercially from Sami labs and used as a value-added product. Figure la depicts the effect
of Mucuna pruriens extract at various weight percentages on viability of chondrocyte cells.
Weight percentages ranging from 20 ug/ml to 400 ug/ml of Mucuna pruriens extract were
tested on osteoblast cells; and optical density (OD) was measured. The cell toxicity data of
Mucuna pruriens extract in chondrocyte is presented in Figure la. From figure la, it can be
observed that weight percentages of up to 40 (J,g/ml of Mucuna pruriens extract are non-toxic
to the cells, however, weight percentage from 80 ug/ml to 200 ug/ml causes significant
toxicity to cells.
[00149] Figure lb depicts the effect of Adhatoda vasica extract at various weight
percentages on viability of chondrocyte cells. Weight percentages ranging from 20 ug/ml to
400 ug/ml of Adhatoda vasica extract were tested on chondrocyte cells; and optical density
(OD) was measured. The cell toxicity data of Adhatoda vasica extract in osteoblast is
presented in Figure lb. From figure lb, it can be observed that weight percentages of up to
40 ug/ml of Adhatoda vasica extract are non-toxic to the cells, however, weight percentage
from 80 ug/ml to 200 ug/ml causes significant toxicity to cells. From figure la and figure lb,
it can be inferred that both Adhatoda vasica and Mucuna pruriens were non-toxic to cells
until concentration of 40 ug/ml. Hence 40 ug/ml was used for the further experiments.
[00150] Figure 2 depicts the percentage inhibition of prostaglandins (PGE2) by
Adhatoda vasica extract and Mucuna pruriens extract in isolation and in combination in human primary chondrocytes Curcumin was used as a positive control. The inhibition was 21.2 % and 23.1 % for Mucuna pruriens and Adhatoda vasica respectively. When Adhatoda vasica extract and Mucuna pruriens extract was used in combination, there was a 29.9 % inhibition of PGE2 in primary human chondrocytes. This indicates that although Adhatoda vasica extract and Mucuna pruriens extract can alleviate pain individually, their effect was found to be synergistic when used in combination.
[00151] Figure 3 depicts the effect of a combination of Mucuna pruriens extract and
Adhatoda vasica extract at various w/w ratios on % PGE2 inhibition on primary human
chondrocytes. The ratios used for the experiment were 1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1:0.67 and 1:0.25.
Mucuna pruriens extract at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about 17.7%,
while Adhatoda vasica extract at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about
22%. However, for the various w/w ratios tested, unexpectedly and surprisingly, the
combinatorial effect in each case was more than the effect of either ingredient alone, the
combinatorial effect being synergistic. Of the various ratios tested, 1:4, 1:1.5, and 1:1 resulted
in 33.5, 30.2 and 28.2% inhibition of PGE2. The inhibition was maximum for ratio 1:4. It
was found to be 33.5%. It can be appreciated that the sum effect of the combinations is a
synergistic increase in PGE2 inhibition compared to the effect of either extracts alone.
[00152] The compositions were prepared conveniently by mixing the extracts {Mucuna
pruriens extract and the Adhatoda vasica extract). Optionally suitable excipients were added to the composition while mixing. In order to validate the experimental data observed in Figure 3, the individual ratios were further analysed and the results from both extracts were tabulated (Fig 4a and 4b). The representation of individual ratio's effect and combination ratio's on LPS induced prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) activity in human primary chondrocytes can be observed in Table 1. Table 1
In summary the ratios 1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1 and 1:0.67 found to be synergistic in reducing pain in human primary chondrocytes.
[00153] Figure 5 depicts the effect of Mucuna pruriens extract and Adhatoda vasica
extract, alone and in combination, at various w/w ratios on RANK induced prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) activity in human osteoclasts. Osteoclast are the bone dissolving cells. During aging or inflammatory condition, the pro-inflammatory cytokines and pain mediators (PGE-2) are
produced. These pro-inflammatory cytokines induce osteoclast and surrounding joint cells which results in the more and more bone dissolution, joint inflammation and pain. For this purpose, multiple ratios (1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1:0.67 and 1:0.25) of Mucunapruriens and Adhatoda vasica were evaluated in osteoclast cells. Mucuna pruriens extract with RANK at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about 22.5%, while Adhatoda vasica extract with RANK at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about 23.7%. However, for the various w/w ratios tested, unexpectedly and surprisingly, the combinatorial effect was more than the effect of either ingredient alone, the combinatorial effect being synergistic for the ratios 1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1. Of the various ratios tested, 1:4, 1:1.5, and 1:1 resulted in 34.9, 32.2 and 32.5% inhibition of PGE2. The inhibition was maximum for ratio 1:4. It was found to be 34.9%). It can be appreciated that the sum effect of the combinations is a synergistic increase in PGE2 inhibition compared to the effect of either extracts alone.
[00154] In order to validate the experimental data observed in Figure 5, the individual
ratios were further analysed and the results from both extracts were tabulated (Fig 4a and 4b). The representation of individual ratio's effect and combination ratio's on RANK induced prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) activity in human primary chondrocytes can be observed in Table 2.
In summary the ratios 1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1 and 1:0.67 found to be synergistic in reducing pain in human primary chondrocytes.
[00155] Figure 7 depicts the effect of Mucuna pruriens extract and Adhatoda vasica
extract, alone and in combination, at various w/w ratios on prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2)
activity in muscle cells. For this purpose, multiple ratios (1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1:0.67 and 1:0.25) of
Mucuna pruriens and Adhatoda vasica were evaluated in muscle cells. Mucuna pruriens
extract at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about 15.6%, while Adhatoda
vasica extract at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml inhibits PGE2 by about 21.7%. However,
for the various w/w ratios tested, unexpectedly and surprisingly, the combinatorial effect was
more than the effect of either ingredient alone, the combinatorial effect being synergistic for
every ratio tested. Of the various ratios tested, 1:4, 1:1.5, and 1:1 resulted in 30.3, 29.7 and
30.4%) inhibition of PGE2. It can be appreciated that the sum effect of the combinations is a
synergistic increase in PGE2 inhibition compared to the effect of either extracts alone,
thereby indicating that the extracts in combination were found to be good in inhibiting muscle
related pain which is in similar trend with joint and bone pain inhibition results.
[00156] In order to validate the experimental data observed in Figure 7, the individual
ratios were further analysed and the results from both extracts were tabulated (Fig 4a and 4b). The representation of individual ratio's effect and combination ratio's on LPS induced prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) activity in muscle cells can be observed in Table 3.
Interesting finding was among the ratios tried, from 1:4 to 1:0.25 all of the ratios were synergistic in alleviating pain in muscle cells.
[00157] Figure 9 depicts the effect of a combination of Mucuna pruriens extract and
Adhatoda vasica extract at various w/w ratios on wound healing on primary human chondrocytes. The ratios used for the experiment were 1:4, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1:0.67 and 1:0.25. From the figure 9 it can be observed that, Mucuna pruriens extract at a weight percentage of
40 ug/ml shows wound healing by 41.4%, while Adhatoda vasica extract at a weight percentage of 40 ug/ml shows wound healing by about 36%. Curcumin, which was used as a positive control, exhibited a 60.8% in wound healing. Unlike pain inhibition, the extracts of Mucuna pruriens and Adhatoda vasica, when used in combination, did not exhibit any synergistic effect in any of the ratios tested.
Advantages gained in the example illustrative process in this subject matter:
[00158] Overall, these data collectively show that a combination of Mucuna pruriens
extract and Adhatoda vasica extract at the various w/w ratios tested, particularly 1:4 -1:1 is/are a suitable alternative to Mucuna pruriens extract or Adhatoda vasica extract alone in alleviating pain and wound. It is envisaged that the combination could be a very useful component of various food products like tea, juices, smoothies, chewing gums, and nutraceutical fermented products like yogurt, etc., to alleviate pain induced by PEG2 related disorders.
