2 0 0 0 OA 性ホルモン作用に基づく漢方薬の作用機序解明:抗老化薬の開発へ向けて
本研究では性ホルモン様作用を有する漢方薬の成分を用いて血管、神経、乳癌、前立腺癌の細胞に対する作用を検討し、臓器別作用を網羅的に解析・分類した。具体的に、乳癌細胞ではエストロゲンと類似した細胞増殖能をもつ生薬成分ともたない成分で分類できた。前立腺癌細胞ではテストステロンと類似した細胞増殖能をもつ成分はなかった。血管ではすべての生薬成分が平滑筋細胞の石灰化を性ホルモンと同様に抑制する効果があった。神経細胞ではginsenoside Rb1がアポトーシスによる細胞傷害を保護する作用があった。このような成果からホルモン補充療法の代替薬として新規薬剤の開発へつながることが期待できる。

China’s pharmaceutical market, the second largest in the world, has recently attracted the attention of many countries. However, Chinese pharmacists’ role in pharmacies and their legal responsibilities in China are not well known in Japan. Clarifying Chinese pharmacists’ legal obligations and identifying their specific roles may contribute to improvements in pharmacy operations in Japan. To investigate the Chinese legal system as it pertains to pharmacists in China, we used China’s official government website. In 2019, there were 516,003 pharmacists in China. As of 2020, the Chinese Pharmacist Act is still in the preparatory stage; however, the Administrative Regulation, which describes the system for licensing pharmacists, has been established. Article 1 of the Administrative Regulation states that Chinese pharmacists are responsible for the quality control of medications, as well as medication consultations. Another regulation, Good Supply Practice, specifies that the lot numbers of medications should be provided to patients at the time of dispensing. We believe that this is particularly beneficial to pharmaceutical traceability. Since 2017, the circulation of counterfeit HARVONI® combination tablets has been a problem in Japan. To secure and improve the quality of medications in Japan, we believe that it is important for pharmacists to understand that they are “responsible for the quality of the medicine” and to promote discussions on pharmacy quality control tasks.
