Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of Tibetan medicine, and in particular to a method for preparing Tibetan medicine micropills. Background Art

[0002] So far, the traditional Tibetan medicine production process adopts a semi-artificial water-flooded pill preparation process. Due to the relatively backward process technology and weak quality controllability, it is difficult to meet the requirements of quality control, standardized management and industrial development. The products have unstable properties, large differences in pill weight, long dissolution time, and are extremely inconvenient to take. This is not only a major problem common to Tibetan medicine manufacturers, but has also become a major barrier to the Tibetan medicine market and large-scale production, and a major factor restricting the market share of Tibetan medicine products and achieving better social and economic benefits.

[0003] In order to solve this problem in the production process and dosage form of Tibetan medicine, some adopt the method of filling capsules with powder. However, since Tibetan medicine production basically uses raw medicine as medicine, the powder that meets the process fineness requirements has very poor fluidity when filled into capsules, which can easily cause differences in the amount of capsules filled. Therefore, coarse powder is directly filled into capsules, but this method violates the theoretical requirements of Tibetan medicine. Tibetan medicine theory believes that "the efficacy of the drug depends on the fineness of the powder. The finer the powder, the more effective it can be in improving the solubility, dissolution, absorption and bioavailability of the drug, thereby maximizing the efficacy of the drug. Therefore, directly filling coarse powder into capsules can only solve the product appearance problems of "inconvenience in taking and large differences in pill weight", but affects the intrinsic quality of the drug, that is, its clinical efficacy.

[0004] Some use concentrated capsules, but the demand for medicinal materials will be greatly increased. At present, the supply of local plant medicinal materials required for Tibetan medicine production is completely dependent on the collection of natural medicinal materials. Due to the high altitude and lack of oxygen in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, plants grow slowly and have poor regeneration ability. The ecological environment is extremely fragile and it is an area that is easily destroyed. At present, due to the lack of effective protection measures for natural wild medicinal materials, there are inevitably problems such as focusing on finished product production and neglecting the source of medicinal materials, and focusing on the development and utilization of medicinal materials and neglecting the protection of medicinal materials, which has also caused great damage to resources. The contradiction between the supply and demand of Tibetan medicinal materials is becoming more and more prominent. Therefore, the use of process technology with high consumption of medicinal materials is not suitable for the strategic requirements of the sustainable development of the Tibetan medicine industry. Summary of the invention

The rest except musk (artificial), bezoar (in vitro cultured bezoar), saffron, and bear bile powder are purified separately.

[0044] Step 3: In addition to the coral, pearl, agate, magnet, calamine (Gangdi), dragon bone, brain stone, amber, cinnabar, musk (artificial), bezoar (in vitro cultured bezoar), saffron, bear bile powder, safflower and two cloves in the prescription, the rest of the mother of pearl, gastrodia, nutmeg, Tibetan aster, agarwood, black sesame, Indian deer sprouts (dida), daisy, terminalia chebula, hairy terminalia chebula, costus root, ginseng (red ginseng), Tibetan calamus, Bangna (Gongbu Aconitum), Tibetan madder, cardamom, Tibetan lithospermum, red sandalwood, sunflower seed, cassia seed, frankincense (Puga), Bashaga, sea gold sand, licorice paste, Rock sugar, sword bean, crab shell, gentian, multi-spined meconopsis, qinjiao flower, Tibetan wood fragrance, wide tendon vine, Rubus, galangal, emblica, delphinium, drynaria, asparagus, polygonatum, Ganqingqinglan, travertine, cold water stone, rhodiola, legadu, honey, winter mallow fruit, sweet pintail, short-spiked rabbit ear grass (Zhidasazeng), pine, berberis bark, grass fruit, angelica, Tibetan codonopsis, snow lotus, cinnamon, yak blood, peach kernel, pine seed, bottle gourd, pyrrosia (net-shaped pyrrosia) 60 kinds of pure medicinal materials are weighed and mixed according to the mass ratio, and crushed into fine powder together, sieved, and the grinding fineness should reach 80 mesh or more.

[0045] Step 4: The powder after crushing and sieving is sterilized in a multifunctional Chinese medicine sterilizing cabinet at a set temperature of 100-105°C for 30 minutes. Weigh 60 sterilized medicinal materials powders (6.25 kg), take 250 g and spread them on the bottom of the mortar grinder, then add weighed coral, pearl, agate, magnet, Gangdi (calamine), dragon bone, brain stone, amber, musk (artificial), bezoar (in vitro cultured bezoar), saffron, bear bile powder 12 medicinal materials powders and grind for 10 minutes, the remaining 6.00 kg of powder is divided into three times and added to the mortar grinder successively, each grinding time is 10 minutes, a total of four grinding times, the time is 40 minutes. The ground powder is sieved with a 100-mesh screen, and all should pass through the 100-mesh screen.

[0046] Step 5: Put the sterilized 60 kinds of medicinal material powders, the ground 12 kinds of medicinal material powders, and the purified cloves (powder) and safflower (powder) into a mixer and mix for 35 minutes.

[0047] Step 6: Preparation

[0048] 6.1 Preparation of soft material: Use a blender to mix the powder with purified water at a ratio of 1:0.70 to make the soft material.

[0049] 6.2 Refining: Start the medicine refining machine and put the prepared soft materials into the material bin of the medicine refining machine in turn for refining operation until the extruded medicine strips reach the quality requirements of appropriate hardness and smooth and uniform surface.

[0050] 6.3 Pellet making

[0051] 6.3.1 When using an automatic double-strip pill-making machine with a nozzle size of Φ10.2mm, a medicine stick size of Φ13.5mm, and a pill-making machine mold size of Φ12mm for pill-making operations, first adjust the gap between the two roller dies of the pill-making machine and align the tooth tips. The gap between the two roller dies must not be less than 0.3mm. Pay special attention that the two roller dies cannot be squeezed to death, otherwise the equipment will be damaged. The tooth tips between the two rollers must be aligned and the gap must be adjusted, otherwise the surface smoothness of the pills will be affected. Check the tightness of the strip conveyor belt. If it is loose, turn the tensioning screw, then pinch the belt by hand. It is appropriate to feel elastic. If it is too tight, the cutting wire is easy to break, and if it is too loose, the belt is easy to slip. If the strip conveyor belt deviates, tighten the screw on the deviated side until it is adjusted. Adjust the strip cutting knife to the appropriate position.

[0052] 6.3.2 After the equipment is adjusted to normal working state, the strip making speed, roller speed and strip cutting speed are strictly controlled within the following parameter range: the strip making speed is controlled at 16-22r / min, the roller speed is controlled at 20-25r / min, and the strip cutting speed is controlled at 350-580r / min. The qualified medicine balls are put into the pellet making machine silo in turn for pellet making operation.

[0053] 6.3.3 The wet pills are screened by a horizontal pill-selecting machine with a screen drum specification of Φ12-13-14mm. The wet pills that pass through the Φ14mm sieve hole are standard wet pills, while the wet pills that do not meet the standards are put back into the pellet-making machine silo for pill-making operation.

[0054] 6.3.4 The qualified wet pills screened out shall be passed through a sugar coating machine and added with an appropriate amount of purified water for pill-shaping operation to ensure that the pills meet the quality requirements of smoothness, roundness and uniformity.

[0055] 6.3.5 Wet Pellets Drying

[0056] According to the characteristics of the medicinal ingredients contained in this product, low-temperature drying should be used. Therefore, vacuum drying equipment is used to dry the pills at a set temperature of 40°C. If the moisture limit of the pills is between 3.0% and 9.0% after checking with a rapid moisture meter, it can be considered to meet the drying standard requirements.

[0057] 6.3.6 Coating and polishing: Key points for using a sugar coater for coating and polishing: After drying and screening, qualified pills are coated and polished in batches according to the capacity of the sugar coater. First, turn on the sugar coater and add pills. The amount of pills added must not exceed the maximum capacity of the sugar coater. While the sugar coater is running, spray purified water evenly inside to make the pills evenly moist. Then, according to the weight of qualified pills put into the sugar coater, evenly sprinkle the cinnabar powder in the prescription into it; turn on the warm air of the sugar coater and let the sugar coater rotate until the pills reach the requirements of roundness, smoothness and uniform color.

[0058] 6.3.7 Drying: The coated and polished pills are considered to have met the drying standard if they are air-dried until the moisture content is between 3.0% and 9.0%.

[0059] 6.3.8 Pill selection: Use a horizontal pill selection machine with a sieve size of Φ11-12-13mm to select pills. Pills that pass through a sieve hole of 13mm are standard pills.

[0060] Experimental test and description:

[0061] 1. Comparative data on production efficiency

[0062] The current process for preparing water-coated pills with a sugar coating machine is to go through the steps of demoulding and pilling, and then manually add powder and preparation water repeatedly to make the pills larger. It takes more than 16 hours to complete one batch of pills, but the newly designed preparation method can be completed in just 6 hours.

[0063] 2. Improve the sanitary quality of products

[0064] Minimizing the risks of contamination, cross-contamination, confusion, and errors in the drug production process is the core content of drug production quality management, and the human body is the biggest source of pollution in drug production. The current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process is achieved by repeatedly adding drug powder and preparation water manually, while the newly designed preparation method is completed through the process steps of making soft materials, refining, pilling, and pilling. The intermediate links are all completed by equipment. As long as the equipment is cleaned in place, there is no direct contact with the human body in the production process, reducing the risk of human pollution.

[0065] 3. Achieve standardized control of production processes

[0066] The current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process is achieved by repeatedly adding powder and preparation water to increase the volume. The process parameters cannot be determined by the powder and preparation water added by different operators each time, and are completely determined by the operator's experience. Therefore, the moisture content of each batch is different, and the drying time is different. With the newly designed preparation method, the ratio of powder to purified water in the preparation of soft materials, the number of times of refining in the refining process, the specifications of the nozzle and the medicine stick, the mold specifications of the pill making process, the sieve cylinder of the wet pill screening machine and the standard wet pill specifications can all be determined by process parameters, avoiding the drawbacks of the traditional process that can only rely on human experience, and realizing the standardized control requirements of the preparation operation that everyone can achieve by operating according to the process regulations.

[0067] 4. Improving drug dissolution

[0068] In the current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process, during the process of repeatedly adding drug powder and preparation water to continuously increase the size of the pill, the pill rotates in the sugar coating machine for a long time, making the pill harder and harder during the rotation process, and the final disintegration time is difficult to meet the standard requirements. However, with the newly designed preparation method, the medicine strip can be formed once it is out of the die, avoiding the long-term rotation of the pill in the sugar coating machine, making the pill looser. According to the pill dissolution time comparison experiment, the pill dissolution time of the pill made by the current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process exceeds 3 hours. Therefore, when taking it, the pill can only be crushed before taking it. The pills made by the newly designed preparation method are completely dissolved within 1 hour, which is much better than the sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process and is also convenient for taking.

[0069] 5. Improve the measurement indicators

[0070] Under the same set temperature conditions, the pills produced by the current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process need 40 to 60 hours to reach the drying standard. Due to the long drying time, it is very easy to cause the loss of easily oxidized and volatile components. The pills produced by the newly designed preparation method only need 20 to 25 hours to reach the drying standard, and the drying time is shortened by more than 1 times, which not only improves production efficiency and achieves energy saving, but more importantly, according to the comparison of the test results based on the content measurement index, the pills produced by the newly designed preparation method have a content measurement index higher than that of the pills produced by the current sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process by more than 10%.

[0071] 6. Reducing the difference in pill weight

[0072] The pills currently produced by the sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process adopt a newly designed preparation method. The entire preparation process can be determined by process parameters, realizing standardized control of the entire process. The produced pills are formed in one time according to the designed mold, and the appearance of the pills is more uniform and complete, reducing the rate of pill weight differences.

[0073] 7. Convenient to take

[0074] The existing pills made by the sugar coating machine water-flooded pill preparation process are hard and have a long disintegration time. When taking the pills, they must be crushed into fine powder or soaked in water before taking them. The pills made by the newly designed preparation method have a loose texture, a short disintegration time, and a small size. When taking the pills, there is no need to crush the pills into fine powder or soak them in water first. The pills can be swallowed directly, which is convenient for patients to take the medicine.

[0075] Table 1 Test results of finished drug products

[0076]

[0077] It can be seen from Table 1 that the moisture content of the pills obtained in the embodiment of the present invention is lower and the dissolution time meets the requirements of the standard, while the dissolution time of the traditional pills is too long and the effect is slow, and they need to be crushed before taking.
