【摘要】尽管许多国家的科学家都证明茶叶中的茶多酚对人体多种疾病具有预防和治疗效果,但美国的食品和药物管理署(FDA)一直没有批准茶多酚作为处方药物在市场销售,这种状况现已有改观。
2006年10月3113,美国FDA批准了一种绿茶的提取物作为新的处方药,用于局部治疗由人类乳头瘤病毒(HPV)引起的生殖器疣和肛周疣。
这种被称为Veregen(PolyphenonE)的新药是FDA根据1962年药品修正案条例首个批准上市的植物药(草本药)。
它是一种儿茶素和其他绿茶组分的混合物。
这是美国近50年来首次批准中国原创复合成分的植物药(中草药)在美国上市。

绿茶提取物可治慢性淋巴白血病

绿茶提取物可治慢性淋巴白血病美国明尼苏达州梅奥诊所的一项研究表明,绿茶中的一种活性成分儿茶素酸酯(EGCG)可有效控制慢性淋巴细胞性白血病(CLL)病情,这为攻克该病带来了新希望。
该研究结果刊登在近日的《临床肿瘤学杂志》网络版上。
在临床试验中,梅奥诊所的研究人员每天两次给33名慢性淋巴细胞性白血病患者服用8种不同剂量的olyphenonE囊剂(该药的主要活性成分是EGCG),剂量介于400毫克到XX毫克之间。
结果发现,病人的淋巴细胞数量降低了三分之一。
此外研究人员还发现,病人对该囊剂具有很强的耐受性,即使是每次高达XX毫克,还是没有达到病人的最大耐受剂量。
研究人员发现,病人不仅能够忍受这种高剂量绿茶提取物,而且许多人的慢性淋巴细胞白血病呈现某种程度的好转,在患有淋巴结增大症状的病人中,大部分人的淋巴结会缩小一半甚至更多。
该项临床研究是梅奥诊所多年来就绿茶提取物对癌细胞作用研究项目的最新举措,之前已在实验室研究中证明了EGCG具有杀死白血病癌细胞的功能。
目前此项研究已进入第二阶段,后续参与临床试验的病人数与第一阶段人数大致相同。
所有人都将服用与原来试验中同样的最高剂量。
在美国,慢性淋巴细胞性白血病是一种常见的白血病。
虽然在很多情况下可以通过血液测试进行早期诊断,然而却没有有效的治疗方法。
统计显示,大约一半的该病患者会过早死亡。
研究人员希望,EGCG能够稳定早期慢性淋巴细胞性白血病患者的病情,或者与其他治疗手段结合,提高对该疾病的治疗效果。

临床试验植物药Veregen(PolyphenonE)软膏治愈率高#精选、

美国FDA在2006年11月初批准一项植物性处方药Veregen(PolyphenonE),本品的主要组成来自于绿茶萃取物,是一种局部外用的软膏,涂抹于患部,用以治疗人类乳突病毒(人类乳头状瘤病毒,人乳头瘤病毒)所引起的生殖器疣,是美国FDA批准的第一个植物性处方药。
【批准依据】FDA批准Veregen(PolyphenonE)的依据来源于两个随机双盲对照临床试验的结果,作为其疗效及安全之支持证据,至于药效学及药理学方面并未如同化学药一样需要严谨的数据支持。
进行两个临床试验的国家包括欧洲,美国及南美多个国家,招募接近400个患有生殖器疣或肛门疣的受试者。
临床试验是针对18岁以上免疫功能正常的生殖器疣患者,从治疗开始至16周或全部生殖器疣完全治愈为止,结果显示Veregen(PolyphenonE)的治愈率均高于双盲对照组,因而获美国FDA批准上市。
【药理作用】Veregen是由10%的主成份「绿茶儿茶素(green tea catechin)混合物」及90%的赋型剂所组成。
主成份混合物中,除了比例(55%)占最多的Epigallocatechin gallat(EGCg)之外,另有七种其它儿茶素,以及caffeine(咖啡因)、theobromine(可可碱)及gallic acid(没食子酸)等。
Veregen利用绿茶儿茶素本身抗氧化及增加免疫力的特性,达到刺激患部局部免疫力,抑制病毒复制感染正常细胞,使病变的皮肤回到正常状况。
【使用方法】1.在病灶上薄涂一层药膏。
2.每次使用的最大量不超过250mg。
3.每天涂抹三次,直到将病灶完全清除。
但最多不超过16周。
4.使用Veregen软膏后,必须洗净双手。
5.每次涂药前,不需要先洗去治疗部位上残余的软膏。
6.不可使用于眼部、口腔、阴道内或肛门内。
【副作用】少数人会产生红肿,硬块,刺激感(主要会有热感),痛,痒,溃疡及水泡等。
一般会随着疗程逐渐消退,目前并无全身性的不良反应产生。

VEREGEN TM 12 3 4 5 6 78 910111213141516171819202122(sinecatechins)Ointment, 15%Rx OnlyFor Topical Dermatologic Use OnlyNot for Ophthalmic, Oral, Intravaginal, or Intra-anal UseDESCRIPTIONVeregen TM is a botanical drug product for topical use. The drug substance in Veregen™ is sinecatechins, which is a partially purified fraction of the water extract of green tea leaves from Camellia sinensis (L.) O Kuntze, and is a mixture of catechins and other green tea components. Catechins constitute 85 to 95% (by weight) of the total drug substance which includes more than 55% of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), other catechin derivatives such as Epicatechin (EC), Epigallocatechin (EGC), Epicatechin gallate (ECg) and some additional minor catechin derivatives i.e. Gallocatechin gallate (GCg), Gallocatechin (GC), Catechin gallate (Cg), and Catechin (C). In addition to the known catechin components, it also contains gallic acid, caffeine, and theobromine which together constitute about 2.5% of the drug substance. The remaining amount of the drug substance contains undefined botanical constituents derived from green tea leaves. The structural formulae of catechins are shown below.General Structure of Catechins23242526272829303132333435363738Each gram of the ointment contains 150 mg of sinecatechins in a water free ointment base consisting of isopropyl myristate, white petrolatum, cera alba (white wax), propylene glycol palmitostearate, and oleyl alcohol.CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYPharmacodynamicsThe mode of action of Veregen TM Ointment, 15% involved in the clearance of genital and perianal warts is unknown. In vitro, sinecatechins had anti-oxidative activity; the clinical significance of this finding is unknown.PharmacokineticsThe pharmacokinetics of topically applied Veregen™ Ointment has not been sufficiently characterized at this time. However, data suggest that systemic exposure to catechins after repeated topical application of Veregen™ Ointment 15% is likely to be less than observed after a single oral intake of 400ml green tea.CLINICAL STUDIES 3940414243444546474849505152535455 Two Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled studies were performed to investigate the safety and efficacy of Veregen TM Ointment in the treatment of immunocompetent patients 18 years of age and older with external genital and perianalwarts. The subjects applied the ointment 3 times daily for up to 16 weeks or until complete clearance of all warts (baseline and new warts occurring during treatment).Over both studies the median baseline wart area was 51 mm2 (range 12 to 585 mm2), andthe median baseline number of warts was 6 (range 2 to 30).The primary efficacy outcome measure was the response rate defined as the proportion of patients with complete clinical (visual) clearance of all external genital and perianal warts (baseline and new) by week 16, presented in Tables 1 and 2 for all randomized subjects dispensed medication.Table 1: Efficacy by Region Table 2.

In case of hypersensitivity, treatment should be discontinued.WARNINGS 7172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 Veregen TM has not been evaluated for the treatment of urethral, intra-vaginal, cervical, rectal, or intra-anal human papilloma viral disease and should not be used for the treatment of these conditions.PRECAUTIONSGeneralUse of Veregen TM on open wounds should be avoided.The safety and efficacy of Veregen TM in immunosuppressed patients have not been established.Safety and efficacy have not been established for Veregen TM in the treatment of external genital and perianal warts beyond 16-weeks or for multiple treatment courses.Patients should be advised to avoid exposure of the genital and perianal area to sun/UV-light as Veregen TM has not been tested under these circumstances.Information for PatientsGeneral InformationPatients using Veregen TM should receive the following information and instructions:1. This medication is only to be used as directed by a physician. It is for external useonly. Eye contact should be avoided as well as application into the vagina or anus.2. It is not necessary to wash off Veregen TM prior to the next application. When thetreatment area is washed or a bath is taken, the ointment should be applied afterwards.3. It is common for patients to experience local skin reactions such as erythema,erosion, edema, itching, and burning at the site of application. Severe skin reactions can occur and should be promptly reported to the healthcare provider.Should severe local skin reaction occur, the ointment should be removed by washing the treatment area with mild soap and water and further doses held.4. Sexual (genital, anal or oral) contact should be avoided while the ointment is onthe skin, or the ointment should be washed off prior to these activities. Veregen TM may weaken condoms and vaginal diaphragms. Therefore the use in combination with Veregen TM is not recommended.5. Female patients using tampons should insert the tampon before applying theointment. If the tampon is changed while the ointment is on the skin, accidental application of the ointment into the vagina must be avoided.6. Veregen TM may stain clothing and bedding.7. Veregen TM is not a cure and new warts might develop during or after a course oftherapy. If new warts develop during the 16 –week treatment period, these should also be treated with Veregen TM.8. The effect of Veregen TM on the transmission of genital/perianal warts is unknown.9. Patients should be advised to avoid exposure of the genital and perianal area tosun/UV light as Veregen TM has not been tested under these circumstances.114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 15710. The treatment area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped as tobe occlusive.11. Uncircumcised males treating warts under the foreskin should retract the foreskinand clean the area daily.Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of FertilityThe Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) of Veregen TM Ointment, 15%was set at three times daily topical administration of 250 mg, 750 mg total, containing 112.5 mg sinecatechins for the animal multiple of human exposure calculations presented in this labeling. Dose multiples were calculated based on the human equivalent dose (HED).In an oral (gavage) carcinogenicity study, sinecatechins was administered daily for 26 weeks to p53 transgenic mice at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day (22-fold MRHD). Treatment with sinecatechins was not associated with an increased incidence of either neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions in the organs and tissues examined. Veregen TM Ointment, 15% has not been evaluated in a dermal carcinogenicity study.Sinecatechins was negative in the Ames test, in vivo rat micronucleus assay, UDS test, and transgenic mouse mutation assay, but positive in the mouse lymphoma mutation assay.Daily vaginal administration of Veregen TM Ointment, 15% to rats from Day 4 before mating and throughout mating until Day 17 of gestation did not cause adverse effects on mating performance and fertility at doses up to 0.15 mL/rat/day. This dose corresponds to approximately 150 mg/rat/day (8-fold MRHD).Pregnancy Category: CEmbryo-fetal development studies were conducted in rats and rabbits using intravaginal and systemic routes of administration, respectively. Oral administration of sinecatechins during the period of organogenesis (gestational Days 6 to 15 in rats or 6 to 18 in rabbits) did not cause treatment related effects on embryo-fetal development or teratogenicity at doses of up to 1,000 mg/kg/day (86-fold MRHD in rats; 173-fold MRHD in rabbits).In the presence of maternal toxicity (characterized by marked local irritation at the administration sites and decreased body weight and food consumption) in pregnant female rabbits, subcutaneous doses of 12 and 36 mg/kg/day of sinecatechins during the period of organogenesis (gestational Days 6 to 19) resulted in corresponding influences on fetal development including reduced fetal body weights and delays in skeletal ossification. No treatment related effects on embryo-fetal development were noted at 4 mg/kg/day (0.7-fold MRHD). There was no evidence of teratogenic effects at any of the doses evaluated in this study.A combined fertility / embryo-fetal development study using daily vaginal administration of Veregen TM Ointment, 15% to rats from Day 4 before mating and throughout mating158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 until Day 17 of gestation did not show treatment-related effects on embryo-fetal development or teratogenicity at doses up to 0.15 mL/rat/day (8-fold MRHD).A pre- and post-natal development study was conducted in rats using vaginal administration of Veregen TM Ointment, 15% at doses of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 mL/rat/day from Day 6 of gestation through parturition and lactation. The high and intermediate dose levels of 0.15 (8-fold MRHD) and 0.10 mL/rat/day resulted in an increased mortality of the F0 dams, associated with indications of parturition complications. The high dose level of 0.15 mL/rat/day also resulted in an increased incidence of stillbirths. There were no other treatment-related effects on pre- and post-natal development, growth, reproduction and fertility at any dose tested.There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Veregen TM Ointment, 15% should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.Nursing MothersIt is not known whether topically applied Veregen TM is excreted in breast milk.Pediatric UseSafety and efficacy in pediatric patients have not been established.Geriatric useSeven patients (1.4%), older than 65 years of age were treated with Veregen TM in clinical studies. This, however, is an insufficient number of subjects to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.ADVERSE REACTIONSAdverse Events / Local Skin ReactionsIn Phase 3 clinical trials, a total of 397 subjects received Veregen™Ointment, 15% three times per day topical application for the treatment of external genital and perianal warts for up to 16 weeks.Serious local adverse events of pain and inflammation were reported in two subjects (0.5%), both women.In clinical trials, the incidence of local adverse events leading to discontinuation or dose interruption (reduction) was 5% (19/397). These included the following events: application site reactions (local pain, erythema, vesicles, skin erosion/ulceration), phimosis, inguinal lymphadenitis, urethral meatal stenosis, dysuria, genital herpes simples, vulvitis, hypersensitivity, pruritus, pyodermitis, skin ulcer, erosions in the urethral meatus, and superinfection of warts and ulcers.199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect rates observed in practice.Local and regional reactions (includes adenophathy) occurring at >1% in the treated group are presented in Table 3.Table 3: Local and Regional Adverse Reactions DuringTreatment (% Subjects)Veregen™(N=397)Vehicle(N=207)Erythema7032Pruritus6945Burning6731Pain/discomfort56 14Erosion/Ulceration49 10Edema4511 Induration3511Rash vesicular 20 6Regional Lymphadenitis 3 1Desquamation5<1Discharge3<1Bleeding2<1 Reaction2Scar10 Irritation1Rash1208209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 A total of 266/397 (67%) of subjects in the Veregen™, 15% group had either a moderate or a severe reaction that was considered probably related and of these 120 (30%) subjects had a severe reaction.
