Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular relates to a pronase compound preparation with mucus-removing and foaming-removing functions and a preparation process thereof. Background Art
[0002] Gastroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing upper gastrointestinal diseases, and the clarity of its field of view directly impacts lesion detection. However, the gastric environment is plagued by two major interfering factors: the mucus layer and foam. Healthy adults secrete approximately 1.5-2.5 liters of gastric mucus daily. Mucin is the primary component of mucin, which forms a gel layer up to 500 μm thick covering the gastric mucosa. This scatters the endoscopic light source, making it difficult to identify small lesions. Clinical studies have shown that mucus interference can increase the missed diagnosis rate of early gastric cancer by 17%-23%.
[0003] To improve visual field quality, existing technologies use two separate types of preparations: 1. Defoaming agents: Simethicone powder, a typical example, breaks up foam by reducing the surface tension of bubbles. However, dimethicone has no effect on mucus protein and cannot resolve the mucus coating problem. When foam and mucus coexist in the stomach, defoaming alone can only improve visual clarity by approximately 35%.
[0004] 2. Mucolytics: Pronase specifically hydrolyzes mucin peptide bonds, but its activity depends on an alkaline environment of pH 7-10. The pH of the gastric acid environment is only 1.5-3.5, and direct oral administration of pronase results in over 90% loss of enzyme activity. Existing solutions require the use of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize gastric acid. For example, clinically used pronase granules require patients to dissolve two bags of pronase and sodium bicarbonate simultaneously before taking.
[0005] This bag-based drug delivery model has significant drawbacks: The procedure is cumbersome: Before gastroscopy, two bags of medication must be opened, poured into a container, and shaken with water to dissolve, leading to poor patient compliance. The error rate in emergency or elderly patients is as high as 28%. Inaccurate dosage: Packaging in separate bags can easily result in missing a bag, leading to pH adjustment failure or insufficient enzyme activity; Delayed onset of effect: The dissolution process takes 3-5 minutes, and delaying medication will shorten the drug's effect time in the stomach.
[0006] Furthermore, existing preparations have a single function: dimethicone preparations only eliminate foaming, and pronase preparations only remove mucus. Gastroscopy requires the sequential administration of two medications, which not only prolongs preparation time but also leads to asynchronous effects due to the interval between dosing. Statistics show that when dual preparations are used, 12%-15% of cases still require intraoperative flushing due to residual mucus, extending the examination time by an average of 6.2 minutes. Therefore, developing a single-dose preparation that combines mucus removal and defoaming functions and is easy to take is a key requirement for improving the efficiency of gastroscopy diagnosis. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a pronase compound preparation with mucus-removing and foaming-removing functions and a preparation process thereof.
[0008] In order to achieve the above objectives, the following technical solutions are provided: A pronase compound preparation with mucus-removing and foaming-removing functions, comprising the following components based on the total weight of the compound preparation: Pronase: 180-220 mg; Sodium bicarbonate: 180-220 mg; Simethicone: 270-330 mg; Silicon dioxide: 22.5-27.5 mg; Polysorbate 80: 45-55 mg; Filler: 3577-4372 mg, the filler is selected from lactose, glucose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, dextrin or powdered sugar; Binder: 225-275 mg, the binder is selected from hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch slurry, syrup, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or polyethylene glycol.
[0009] Furthermore, based on the total weight of the compound preparation, it is composed of the following ingredients: Pronase: 200 mg; Sodium bicarbonate: 200 mg; Simethicone: 300 mg; Silicon dioxide: 25 mg; Polysorbate 80: 50mg; Lactose: 3975mg; Hydroxypropyl cellulose: 250 mg.
[0010] A preparation process of a pronase compound preparation with mucus-removing and foaming-removing functions comprises the following steps: (1) reacting dimethicone with silicon dioxide at 145-155° C. with stirring for 7-8 hours, and cooling to room temperature to obtain a composite; (2) uniformly mixing the complex obtained in step (1) with polysorbate 80 to form a mixture A; (3) Mixing mixture A with a filler and a binder, wet granulating the mixture, and drying the mixture to obtain granules B; (4) Passing Granule B through an 80-mesh sieve, adding pronase and sodium bicarbonate, mixing well, and granulating; (5) Repackaging: 5g per bag.
[0011] Furthermore, the filler in step (3) is lactose.
[0012] Furthermore, the binder in step (3) is hydroxypropyl cellulose.
[0013] Furthermore, the wetting agent used in the wet granulation in step (3) is water or ethanol.
[0014] Furthermore, the mixing in step (4) adopts a three-dimensional motion mixer, and the mixing time is 15 to 30 minutes.
[0015] Furthermore, the granulation in step (4) is dry granulation.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Dual-action synergistic clearance mechanism. Pronase specifically hydrolyzes the disulfide bonds (EC3.4.24.28) of mucus glycoproteins, and combined with simethicone to disrupt the phospholipid bilayer of the gastric membrane, achieving spatiotemporal synergy in mucus dissolution and defoaming. Experiments have shown that this complex system can reduce the thickness of the gastric mucus layer from 2.1 mm to 0.3 mm (optical coherence tomography) and reduce gastric bubble density by 94% (laser Doppler velocimetry), effectively eliminating the source of double vision interference during gastroscopy.
[0017] 2. Precise regulation of enzyme activity. Sodium bicarbonate rapidly neutralizes gastric acid in the stomach (raising the pH from 1.5 to 7.8), creating a microenvironment with a pH of 7-10, which keeps the serine residues in the active center of pronase activated. DSC thermal analysis showed that the enzyme's thermal denaturation temperature increased from 58°C to 72°C under this pH condition, and testing at a constant temperature of 37°C extended its half-life to 12 hours.
[0018] 3. Optimized clinical operation procedures. A single 5g bag (with a filling tolerance of ±0.05g) allows for direct oral administration without dissolution, reducing the number of steps required by traditional split-dosage products by 70%. Simulated clinical trials showed that medical staff's operation time was reduced from 12 minutes to 3 minutes, and the error rate decreased by 83%.
[0019] 4. Spatiotemporal drug release. The step-by-step granulation process enables simultaneous release of pronase particles ≤180μm and sodium bicarbonate particles ≤150μm in the stomach. Dissolution curves show a time difference of less than 1.2 minutes between the two peak releases (USP paddle method, 50 rpm). This synchronized release ensures complete mucolytic and antifoaming effects within 15 minutes, a 40% reduction in duration compared to commercially available products.
[0020] 5. Low-temperature protection of enzyme structure. Pronase is added at 40°C in the following steps to avoid protein denaturation caused by traditional high-temperature granulation (>80°C). This process maintains 98.7% of the enzyme's secondary structure, a 22 percentage point improvement compared to higher-temperature processes.
[0021] Optimized dissolution kinetics. Granulation through an 80-mesh sieve (particle size D50 = 175 μm) resulted in a particle surface area of 1.1 m² / g (BET method), shortening the intragastric disintegration time to 5 minutes (USP dissolution apparatus). HPLC analysis showed a 5-minute dissolution rate of 92.3%, a 35 percentage point improvement over conventional processes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
