Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of medical technology and daily chemical industry, and in particular to the preparation of an external anthelmintic and antipruritic composition of a traditional Chinese medicine, Glechoma longituba, and its applications in anthelmintic, antipruritic and anti-inflammatory aspects. Background Art
[0002] The Chinese medicinal herb, Abruscantoniensis hance, is a specialty herb native to the Lingnan region of my country. It is the dried whole herb of the leguminous plant, Abruscantoniensis hance. The whole herb has the properties of dispelling dampness and relieving jaundice, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and soothing the liver and relieving pain. It is used to treat damp-heat jaundice, flank discomfort, epigastric distension and pain, and mastitis. The "Nanning City Pharmacopoeia" states that it "treats infectious hepatitis and sprained bones." The "Lingnan Herbal Medicine" states that it "soothes the liver, harmonizes the spleen, and heals fractures." The "National Compendium of Chinese Herbal Medicines" states that it "treats acute and chronic hepatitis, ascites caused by cirrhosis, stomachache, rheumatic bone pain, and insect and snake bites, and can be used as a refreshing summer beverage." Modern research on Abruscantoniensis hance has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-cellular proliferation, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory effects. The main components extracted from Abruscantoniensis hance include soybean saponin Bb, abrin saponin, schaftoside, abrinine, and erythrine.
[0003] Literature reports that total flavonoids from kudzu vine effectively alleviate LPS-induced inflammatory responses in mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro. In animal anti-inflammatory experiments, total flavonoids from kudzu vine significantly inhibited xylene-induced mouse ear swelling and cotton ball granulomas, with inhibitory effects approaching those of the positive control drug dexamethasone. Soy saponins, the main component of kudzu vine, inhibited LPS-induced release of the inflammatory marker prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), similar to the NF-κB inhibitor BAY117082. They also inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in a dose-dependent manner by inhibiting NF-κB activation. Soy saponins inhibited LPS-induced PI3K / Akt activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the GSH / GSSG ratio, and reduced inflammation. The main chemical component, soybean saponin Bb, can inhibit the recruitment of TLR4 to lipid rafts and its interaction with receptor molecules by inhibiting the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-dependent ROS, inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and the activation of NF-κB, thereby blocking the inflammatory response in the early stage.
[0004] When mosquitoes, fleas, mites, midges, bedbugs, and other insects bite the skin, they release toxins and proteins, triggering an immune response within the skin's blood vessels, leading to localized acute allergic and inflammatory reactions. This condition is known as insect bite dermatitis. Bites on exposed skin often cause rashes, papules, and blisters, centered around the bite mark, often accompanied by itching, burning, and stinging. In severe cases, toxins can enter the bloodstream, triggering bacteremia and systemic inflammation, or even the spread of diseases such as dengue fever and malaria. Summer is a season of mosquito infestation, with mosquitoes active in most areas of the country, making mosquito bites extremely common. This is particularly true in southern China, where the humid climate and abundant vegetation allow mosquitoes to thrive in this hot and humid environment, making insect bite dermatitis highly susceptible. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers insect bite dermatitis to be caused by the accumulation of exogenous toxins. Based on the presenting symptoms, it is diagnosed as a stagnation of toxins in the skin meridians, qi stagnation, and blood stasis. Treatment should focus on clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, dispelling wind and relieving pain, and alleviating itching. Herba Cervi Paniculatae is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in southern China. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and there are records of its use in treating insect and snake bites. Menthol is the most important extract of the Chinese medicine mint. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and relieving itching. It can be used externally to treat skin itching, non-transparent rashes, and dry and wet scabies. Borneol is pungent and bitter in taste and cool in nature. It can open the mind and relieve swelling and relieve pain. This antipruritic composition uses Herba Cervi Paniculatae as the main drug, which clears away heat and detoxifies, dispels wind and relieves itching. Mint is the auxiliary drug, which dispels wind and relieves itching, and has a refreshing and cooling effect. It assists the main drug in exerting its antipruritic effect. At the same time, the unique cooling feeling and fragrance of menthol reduce the discomfort caused by itching after the composition is applied, and can make mosquitoes dislike getting close. The combination of the three Chinese medicines clears away heat and detoxifies, relieves swelling and relieves itching, and drives away insects, which is in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Herba Cervi Paniculaee, mint, etc. are traditional Chinese medicines with medicinal and edible properties, are highly safe, have few side effects, and have good application prospects.
