Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine enema solution for treating active stage ulcerative colitis, belonging to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines. Background Art

[0002] Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease with abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools and tenesmus as the main clinical manifestations. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease have not been fully elucidated. Commonly used Western medicine treatments in clinical practice include aminosalicylic acids, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents, but the efficacy in terms of rapid induction of remission, promotion of deep mucosal healing, and prevention of recurrence is far from satisfactory. In addition, long-term maintenance of medication consumes a lot of medical resources and has many adverse reactions.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease belongs to the category of "resting diarrhea", "chronic diarrhea" and "intestinal diarrhea". Weak spleen is the root cause of the disease. Damp-heat in the intestines and qi stagnation and blood stasis are the most important pathological characteristics of UC in the active period, and are also the key links that cause the disease to recur and be difficult to cure. The onset of UC generally follows the law of backflow development. The rectum and the left colon are most susceptible to involvement and the degree of lesions is more serious. Enema treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is one of the commonly used external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine. It is widely used in the treatment of UC for its simplicity, convenience, effectiveness and low cost. Enema allows the drug to come into direct contact with the intestinal ulcer surface, so that it can be better absorbed to repair the intestinal mucosa, play a role in reducing inflammatory reactions and promoting the healing of ulcer surfaces, but the market currently lacks local dosage forms such as traditional Chinese medicine enema solutions with definite efficacy. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop innovative traditional Chinese medicine enema drugs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis based on clinical efficacy. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Chinese medicine enema solution for treating active stage ulcerative colitis, which can significantly treat mild and moderate active stage ulcerative colitis, effectively reduce the disease activity index score, restore colon length, repair intestinal mucosal damage, and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration.

[0005] The Chinese medicine enema solution for treating active stage ulcerative colitis provided by the present invention is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0006] 8-15 parts of coptis root, 10-20 parts of scutellaria baicalensis charcoal, 8-15 parts of toona root bark charcoal, 8-15 parts of donkey hide gelatin beads, 5-8 parts of indigo, 8-15 parts of white ampel, 10-20 parts of raw astragalus, 8-15 parts of red ochre, and 2-5 parts of notoginseng powder.

[0007] Preferably, the Chinese medicine enema solution is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0008] 10-15 parts of coptis root, 15-20 parts of scutellaria baicalensis charcoal, 10-15 parts of toona root bark charcoal, 10-15 parts of donkey hide gelatin beads, 6-8 parts of indigo, 10-15 parts of white ampel, 15-20 parts of raw astragalus, 10-15 parts of red ochre, and 3-5 parts of notoginseng powder.

[0009] Further preferably, the Chinese medicine enema solution is made of the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0010] 10 parts of coptis root, 15 parts of scutellaria baicalensis charcoal, 10 parts of toona root bark charcoal, 10 parts of donkey hide gelatin beads, 6 parts of indigo, 10 parts of white ampelopsis, 15 parts of raw astragalus, 10 parts of red ochre, and 3 parts of notoginseng powder.

[0011] The Chinese medicine enema solution of the present invention is preferably a water decoction.

[0012] When using the Chinese medicine enema solution of the present invention, an enema bag is used for rectal drip enema, 100 mL each time, the stool is emptied before enema, the enema solution temperature is preferably (39±0.5)°C, and the enema solution is dripped rectum in the lateral position (slowly dripped in 5-10 minutes), so that the enema solution is retained in the body for more than 1 hour, once every night.

[0013] The prescription of the Chinese medicine enema solution of the present invention is based on the pathological changes of damp-heat in the intestines and viscera, qi stagnation and blood stasis, blood rot and flesh rot in the active stage of ulcerative colitis. Weak spleen and stomach are the root of its onset, followed by pathological products such as dampness, blood stasis, and heat toxicity. Blood stasis runs through the whole process of this disease. It is appropriate to combine strengthening the body with removing evil, clearing away heat and detoxifying, invigorating the spleen and removing dampness, and removing blood stasis and stopping dysentery. The lesions of ulcerative colitis mostly start in the rectum and can develop retrogradely to the proximal colon and the whole colon. Chinese medicine enema is a traditional Chinese medicine medication method. Enema can make the medicine directly reach the diseased area and exert the curative effect. According to the characteristics of ulcerative colitis that is prone to long-term recurrence and the problems of poor efficacy and high price of existing drugs, after a large number of clinical observations in the early stage and combined with Chinese medicine experience, the prescription is continuously optimized to provide the Chinese medicine enema prescription for treating the active stage of ulcerative colitis of the present invention.

[0014] Formula analysis of the Chinese medicine enema solution of the present invention: the Chinese medicine enema composition for treating the active stage of ulcerative colitis of the present invention takes coptis root and scutellaria baicalensis charcoal as the main medicines. Coptis root and scutellaria baicalensis are bitter and cold in nature, have the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying, and the fried scutellaria baicalensis charcoal can enhance the hemostatic power; white mulberry root is bitter and slightly cold in taste, can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate carbuncle and disperse knot, astringe sore and promote tissue regeneration; Indigo naturalis is salty and cold, and enhances the blood cooling and hemostatic power of the main medicine; Chinese toon root bark charcoal is bitter and slightly cold, and enhances the hemostatic and dysentery-stopping power; red ochre is sweet, sour, astringent and warm, astringes the intestines and stops diarrhea, astringes sore and promotes tissue regeneration, and the four are altogether the ministerial medicines; Panax notoginseng powder is sweet and warm, can dissipate blood stasis and stop bleeding, promote blood circulation and stop pain, and donkey-hide gelatin is sweet and flat in nature, can nourish blood and stop bleeding, and the two are altogether the adjuvants; raw astragalus root can detoxify and discharge pus, astringe sore and promote tissue regeneration, and has the effects of invigorating qi and raising yang, promoting body fluid and nourishing blood, and is the guiding medicine. The combination of these medicines can clear away heat and detoxify, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and remove blood stasis and stop dysentery.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the Chinese medicine enema solution, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1. Mix the other raw materials except Panax notoginseng powder, add water to soak; then heat to boil and simmer over low heat, filter to obtain the first extract and medicinal residue;

[0017] S2, adding water to the medicinal residue, heating and boiling, then decocting over low heat, and filtering to obtain a second extract;

[0018] S3, combining the first extract and the second extract, heating and concentrating, standing and filtering to remove precipitate to obtain a medicinal solution;

[0019] S4, adding Panax notoginseng powder to the medicinal liquid and mixing well to obtain the Chinese medicinal enema liquid.

[0020] In step S1, the soaking time is 30-60 minutes;

[0021] The time for simmering over low heat is 15-20 minutes.

[0022] In step S2, the slow-cooking time is 15-20 minutes.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The main pathogenesis of active ulcerative colitis is internal damp-heat accumulation in the intestines and viscera, qi stagnation and blood stasis, blood stagnation and flesh rot. Weak spleen and stomach are the root of the disease, which then produces pathological products such as dampness, blood stasis, and heat toxins. Blood stasis runs through the entire process of the disease. Treatment should be combined with strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes. The Chinese medicine enema prescription of the present invention has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, and removing blood stasis and stopping dysentery. This is used as a treatment principle, which is more in line with the clinical diagnosis and treatment rules of UC.

[0025] 2. The rectum and left colon are most susceptible to ulcerative colitis and the degree of lesions is more serious. Chinese medicine enema treatment is one of the commonly used external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. It can exert a faster therapeutic effect on patients with UC, especially those with proximal colitis. The Chinese medicine enema of the present invention can make the drug reach the diseased area directly, so that it can be better absorbed and promote the repair of intestinal mucosa, play a role in reducing inflammatory response and promoting the healing of ulcer surface. At the same time, it avoids the first-pass effect of oral drugs, reduces irritation to the stomach, and reduces the risk of toxic and side effects caused by long-term oral drugs. In addition, enema has a wider range of applications, especially for patients who cannot swallow drugs. Compared with traditional oral methods, intestinal administration has a faster and more stable absorption rate, and the drug effect lasts longer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources.

[0028] Example 1: Preparation of a Chinese herbal enema recipe for treating active ulcerative colitis

[0034] The first extract and the second extract were mixed, concentrated to 120 ml by heating, allowed to stand and the precipitate was filtered out.

[0035] Take 100mL of the medicinal liquid, add Panax notoginseng powder and mix well to obtain a traditional Chinese medicine enema recipe for treating active ulcerative colitis.

[0036] Example 2: Application of Chinese herbal enema prescription for treating active stage of ulcerative colitis

[0037] Use an enema bag for rectal drip enema, 100 mL each time. Empty the stool before enema. The enema solution temperature should be (39±0.5)℃. Rectal drip in the lateral position (slowly drip in 5-10 minutes) so that the enema solution remains in the body for more than 1 hour, once a night.

[0038] Example 3: Small sample clinical efficacy trial of Chinese medicine enema prescription

[0039] A small sample of 15 patients with ulcerative colitis with rectum or left colon and lesion range not exceeding sigmoid colon were collected for clinical observation. After 8 weeks of treatment with the Chinese medicine enema prescription in Example 1 of the present invention, 11 patients achieved clinical remission, with a clinical remission rate of 73.3%. The clinical remission rate of mesalazine enema solution was about 70%. In addition, the price of Chinese medicine enema solution was low, only 10% of the price of Western medicine enema drugs, with good safety, few adverse reactions, high patient acceptance, and convenient clinical promotion. It has very important clinical value for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

[0040] The anti-inflammatory efficacy of the Chinese herbal enema prescription of the present invention was further verified through animal experiments. The results showed that compared with the ulcerative colitis model mice induced by DSS (dextran sulfate sodium), the Chinese herbal enema prescription of the present invention can effectively reduce the disease activity index score, restore colon length, repair intestinal mucosal damage, and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration. Its efficacy is better than that of the positive drug mesalazine in some aspects.
