Technical Field

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating a muscle disease, and more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a muscle disease, comprising dimenhydrinate, halenol and/or calcium pantothenate as an active ingredient.

Background

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ of the human body, accounts for 40-50% of the total body weight, and plays an important role in various metabolic functions of the human body including energy stability, heat generation and the like. From age 40, the muscles of humans decrease by more than 1% each year, and by age 80, the maximum decrease in muscle mass is 50%, and muscle loss in the elderly is considered to be the most important factor in impairing the overall bodily functions. As aging progresses, changes in body shape such as muscle and fat contents, bone deformity, etc. are found, and the prevalence of obesity due to aging is maintained over 30% worldwide and continues to increase. Due to the insufficient supply of cellular energy, abnormal insulin secretion leads to muscle development disorders, which leads to an increase in sarcopenia in diabetic patients compared to the general population. Also, reduction of muscles causes more arthritis, waist pain, chronic pain, and also may aggravate urinary incontinence caused by abdominal obesity, and injuries caused by fracture may lead to an increase in senile depression and even death, so sarcopenia in elderly is a major cause of various diseases and a low quality of life.

Sarcopenia refers to a state of decreased number and function of skeletal muscles. Sarcopenia is caused by aging, hormonal abnormalities, malnutrition, lack of physical activity, inflammation and degenerative diseases, among which cancer, aging and sex hormone deficiency may be the main causes. As the average life expectancy increases worldwide due to the development of medical technology and the development of various therapeutic agents, the aging population also increases, and thus the therapeutic demand for sarcopenia is expected to continue to increase. In patients with sarcopenia, the number of myoblasts (myoblasts) decreases due to impairment of recruitment, activity or proliferation of satellite cells that are stem cells of the myoblasts, and proliferation and differentiation of the myoblasts decreases, so that the muscle of the sarcopenia patients decreases the size and number of muscle fibers at the histological level and shows a decrease in muscle function. In the past decade, epidemiological studies on sarcopenia have been actively conducted, centered on the united states and europe, and recently there has been an increasing interest in the clinical importance of sarcopenia. Early studies have shown that sarcopenia results in a decrease in quality of life due to general weakness, reduced mobility and decreased muscle strength, but recently published studies have shown that in addition to quality of life, the risk of osteoporotic fractures is significantly increased. In addition, in patients with sarcopenia, since chronic diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, chronic renal failure, and chronic liver failure are induced and the death rate is finally increased, sarcopenia is attracting attention as a disease that needs to be appropriately treated. Recently, in the united states, it has been reported that the likelihood of physical disability in sarcopenia patients increases from about 1.5 times to about 3.5 times, resulting in an annual social cost of $ 185 billion. In korea, according to the national health nutrition survey, the prevalence rate of sarcopenia is 42.0% in men over 60 years old and 42.7% in women, which is a very common disease, and particularly, since korea is the fastest aging country in the world, it is certain that it will become an important social problem in korea.

Sarcopenia caused by cancer is due to malnutrition, lack of exercise, and cytokines secreted by cancer, and significantly reduced muscle mass and body function. According to statistics, sarcopenia based on cancer is found in 14-78.7% of cancer patients, wherein the incidence rate of digestive system cancer is higher than 50%, and the incidence rate of lung cancer and liver cancer is about 40%. According to the report of the european cancer center, the life expectancy of esophageal cancer patients is shortened by 2 years and 8 months compared to patients without sarcopenia, and complications of cancer surgery are increased. According to the report of the japanese cancer center, in the case of sarcopenia, the number of patients who survived for 5 years after the liver cancer operation without recurrence is two or more, and thus sarcopenia itself affects the recurrence of cancer. In patients with sarcopenia, the cessation of anticancer agents and the incidence of dose reduction is also more common than in patients without sarcopenia, affecting overall survival. In view of the above, it is considered to be an adverse factor that seriously affects the overall survival of cancer patients with sarcopenia, and therefore a solution is required.

Sarcopenia, which is caused by degeneration of spinal nerves, motor nerves or skeletal muscle fibers associated with muscle diseases, is one of the representative refractory diseases whose etiology has not been ascertained. According to the studies so far, it is known that skeletal muscle does not contract due to degeneration of motor nerve which causes contraction of skeletal muscle, or normal skeletal muscle does not contract due to decreased expression of a protein involved in muscle contraction in skeletal muscle or deformation of the protein, and the motor nerve or skeletal muscle is converted into fibrous tissue in the long term. Since the root cause of this sarcopenia has not been discovered, and a method of preventing or restoring motor nerve or skeletal muscle degeneration has not been developed, a method of slowing the progression of sarcopenia is currently being developed. At present, it is known that exercise, protein supplementation and calories contribute to sarcopenia, but do not greatly contribute to the elderly who account for the majority of sarcopenia patients, and thus, sarcopenia therapeutics are urgently needed. However, among the current therapeutic drugs for sarcopenia, drugs having direct effects on improving muscle loss and increasing muscle mass are still in clinical experimental stages, and there are no drugs that are finally approved by the FDA at present. Therefore, in order to treat sarcopenia, some selective androgen receptor modulators (modulators), activin receptor antagonists (antagonists), fast skeletal muscle troponin inhibitors (fast skeletal muscle antagonists), and the like have been developed as therapeutic agents for sarcopenia, but they are still being tried in the level of early clinical trials. At present, as a method for treating sarcopenia, a method of inhibiting muscle atrophy caused by degeneration or progressive mutation of muscle cells, which is sarcopenia, has been mainly used. For example, WO 2007/088123 discloses a therapeutic agent for muscular atrophy comprising a nitrooxy derivative as an active ingredient, and WO2006/081997 discloses a therapeutic agent for muscular atrophy comprising oak moss (Atraric acid) or a derivative thereof as an active ingredient. However, these therapeutic agents containing the compound as an active ingredient act not only on skeletal muscles in which muscular atrophy occurs but also on visceral muscles or cardiac muscles which are not involved in muscular atrophy, and thus cause various side effects, and thus have not been used for practical treatment. On the other hand, since the hormone preparation has significantly reduced side effects compared to the compound preparation and is biocompatible due to the characteristics of the hormone preparation, the development of a drug for treating muscular atrophy or sarcopenia using the hormone preparation is accelerated.

According to reports on the trend of Sarcopenia Therapeutics, the global Sarcopenia therapeutic Market was around $ 1000 million (us) in 2010 and expected to grow to $ 2000 million in 2018 (sarcophylia Therapeutics-Pipeline Association and Market forms to 2018, 2011.11.17). In 2013, the private guardian partnership (Innovative properties initiatives) under the eu has announced a continuous investment of about 5000 ten thousand euros for the development of sarcopenia therapeutics in the elderly, one of four major research topics of health care.
