Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to an application of a chrysanthemum in the preparation of a medicament for treating gastric diseases (atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosal injury, gastric cancer). BACKGROUND

[0002] Chronic gastritis (CG) is one of the most common diseases worldwide, initially presenting as benign inflammation of the gastric mucosa, similar to oral ulcers. However, if left untreated, it can progress to gastric cancer with a significantly high mortality rate. The development of CG involves multiple stages, including atrophy and reduction of gastric glands, intestinal metaplasia, and heterogeneous hyperplasia within the stomach. First, CSG (simple gastric mucosal injury) can occur in all age groups, and the incidence is age-related; in fact, more than 80% of adults have experienced different degrees of gastric mucosal injury. Currently, CSG uses various drug interventions to alleviate dyspeptic symptoms and treat gastric mucosal inflammation. However, these treatments require long-term drug administration and cause continuous discomfort for patients due to drug intake. Second, the progressive loss of gastric mucosal epithelium is exacerbated with gland atrophy, leading to CAG, which has a globally positive age-related prevalence. Despite this, CAG often exhibits a high recurrence rate and many drug adverse reactions. Furthermore, due to its complex and multifaceted mechanisms, research into chemical drugs for CG has encountered significant challenges. Gastric mucosal injury is the direct cause of CG, so gastric mucosal protection activity is an important evaluation indicator for treating CG.

[0003] Chrysanthemum flowers are the dried flower buds of the chrysanthemum plant, with white color and large flowers being the best. They have a sweet and bitter flavor and a cooling nature, and can clear heat and cool blood, detoxify and reduce swelling, and are used to treat dysentery, leukorrhea, and other symptoms. Chrysanthemum flowers are also an edible flower, and eating them has been recorded in the Book of Songs. Eating them can clear heat, drain dampness, cool blood, and detoxify and beautify the skin.

[0004] There is no mention of "inflammation" in ancient Chinese medical texts, but discussions related to inflammation can be traced back to the term "Yan Shuo" mentioned in the Huangdi Neijing. The Suwen Wuxing Dalun chapter states: "The south produces heat, and heat produces fire … Its change is Yan Shuo." The Shuowen Jiezi states: "Yan, the light of fire, also comes from heavy fire." The Waike Zhengzhi Quanshengji · Cuolu Zonglun records: "Chinese sores and toxins are called inflammation in the West. There are internal and external inflammation." The Chengfang Biandu also states: "Toxicity is the dominance of fire evil." From this, it can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine recognizes inflammation from the aspects of fire, heat, and toxicity. Therefore, chrysanthemum flowers, which clear heat and detoxify, have great prospects in the treatment of inflammation-related diseases.

[0005] In addition, many ancient recipes also have a lot of records about the use of hibiscus flowers. For example, in the "Ji Ji Xian Fang", the red hibiscus flower is dried and ground into powder, and two steamed buns are first cooked and then dipped in the powder for eating, which can treat dysentery and lockjaw; In "Fujian Folk Herbal Medicine", take 9 to 13 hibiscus flowers, add water and ice sugar, and cook for half an hour, then take before meals, twice a day, which can treat hematemesis, hematochezia and dysentery; The "Jianzhen Recipe" can treat stomach upset.

[0006] The traditional application of the above hibiscus flowers shows that hibiscus flowers have been edible since ancient times and have effects on inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal digestive system discomfort and other symptoms. However, the above symptoms are caused by a wide range of diseases, including various organs such as stomach and intestines in traditional Chinese medicine theory, and have no obvious corresponding relationship with the description of diseases in modern medicine, so they cannot be limited to the gastric diseases such as atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosal damage, precancerous lesions of gastric cancer and other related gastric diseases studied in this patent, and only provide a certain application basis for the research of this patent.

[0007] Based on the status and basis of the prior art, the present application provides an application of hibiscus flowers as a medicine, health care product and food for treating gastric diseases such as atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosal damage, precancerous lesions of gastric cancer and other related gastric diseases.

[0065] High performance liquid chromatography: SHIMADZU SPD-10A (Japan SHIMADZU Corporation); high performance liquid chromatography column: YMC ODS-A (5 μm, 250 x 20 mm) (Japan YMC Corporation); high performance liquid chromatography eluent: methanol (acetonitrile)-water.

[0066] Antioxidant test

[0067] A series of 100 μL aliquots of the test compound (1-200 μg / mL) and ascorbic acid (1-200 μg / mL) were mixed in 96-well plates, respectively. Then, pre-configured ABTS (100 μL) was added to each well. After 30 min of light protection, the absorbance value was measured at 734 nm. Three replicate wells were set in parallel for each group. Methanol was used as a blank control group. The antioxidant degree of the sample was expressed by the ABTS radical inhibition rate, which was calculated by the following formula.

[0068] Inhibition rate (%) = [(Acontrol- Asample) / (Acontrol- Ablank)] x 100%

[0069] DPPH radical scavenging activity was evaluated using the method described previously, with ascorbic acid as a positive control.

[0070] Scavenging capacity was determined by the following formula.

[0071] Inhibition rate (%) = [(Acontrol- Asample) / (Acontrol- Ablank)] x 100% The ferric reducing antioxidant capacity (FRAP) assay was performed according to the method completed. The FRAP working solution was prepared by mixing acetic acid buffer (300 mM, pH 3.6), 10 mM TPTZ (2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine) solution (40 mM HCl), and 20 mM ferric trichloride solution (10:1:1). The solution was warmed to 37 °C before use. An aliquot of 100 μL sample was mixed with 100 μL FRAP solution, with an interval of 8 min. After incubation at 37 °C for 4 min, the absorbance was read at 593 nm. The results were expressed as the concentration of standard FeSO4 solution (mmol / L), with ferrous sulfate as a calibration curve.

[0075] The experimental results are shown in Table 1, the hibiscus extract, hibiscus polyphenols and hibiscus monomer compounds I-IV showed free radical scavenging ability and DPPH free radical scavenging ability.

[0076] Example 4 Gastric mucosa protection experiment

[0077] The GES-1 cells were divided into a blank group, a model group and a drug administration group (hibiscus extract group, hibiscus polyphenol group, monomer compound group). Except for the blank group, the rest of the groups were treated with 0.5 mol / L ethanol, and the drug administration group was treated with different concentrations (0-200 μg / ml, 0-200 μM) of drugs in the cell culture solution 6 hours before ethanol treatment, and then the subsequent experiments were performed.

[0078] Cell viability determination: After the GES-1 cells in each group were cultured for 24 hours, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The OD value of each well was determined by enzyme labeling method to evaluate the cell viability of the blank group, the model group and the drug administration group.

[0079] Western blot detection: The total protein in the GES-1 cell lysate was extracted according to the RIPA lysis buffer instructions. The protein concentration of each group of cell lysate was determined using a protein concentration determination kit, and the sample buffer was diluted 4 times, mixed uniformly and heated at 100°C for 10 minutes for denaturation, and then cooled for standby. The SDS-PAGE separation gel and concentration gel were prepared according to the PAGE gel ultra-fast preparation kit instructions. Equal amounts (15-25 μg) of protein were loaded into the gel loading well. First, set the voltage to 60V, and when the bromophenol blue enters the lower separation gel, increase the voltage to 120V, and stop the electrophoresis when the bromophenol blue reaches the bottom of the gel. Then wet transfer, set the transfer current to 120mA, and the transfer time is 120 minutes. After the transfer is completed, TBST is rinsed 3 times, the blocking solution is added, and the room temperature is blocked for 2 hours. According to the antibody instructions, incubate the first antibody and the second antibody. After incubation, rinse with TBST 3 times, absorb the washing solution with filter paper, and detect the protein according to the ECL luminescent liquid manufacturer's instructions using a gel imaging instrument.

[0080] As shown in Figure 8 , the hibiscus total extract had no obvious cytotoxicity below 50 μg / mL; the hibiscus polyphenol had no obvious cytotoxicity below 25 μg / mL; and the monomer compounds I-IV had no obvious cytotoxicity below 25 μM.

[0081] As shown in Figure 9As shown, the total extract of hibiscus flower, hibiscus flower polyphenols and monomer compounds I, II, IV, etc. can improve the survival rate of GES-1 cells induced by ethanol, showing good gastric mucosa protective effect. The protective activity of hibiscus flower polyphenols is better than that of hibiscus flower extract. Among the monomer compounds, compound IV kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucoside has the most significant protective activity on cells, and it is concentration-dependent.

[0082] Meanwhile, Figure 10 The Western blot results in the above table show that after kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucoside treatment (its L, M, H concentrations are 12.5, 25, 50 μM / ml, respectively), the expressions of Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax proteins in ethanol-induced GES-1 cells are significantly lower than those in the model group, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein is significantly increased.

[0083] Through the verification of the above four examples, it can be concluded that hibiscus flower extract, hibiscus flower polyphenols and monomer compounds all have good antioxidant activity, and can protect the gastric mucosa by reducing the oxidative stress level of gastric mucosa cells, thereby treating chronic atrophic gastritis.

[0084] Meanwhile, hibiscus flower extract, hibiscus flower polyphenols and monomer compounds can all improve the survival rate of GES-1 cells after ethanol modeling, and have good gastric mucosa protective effect.

[0085] In addition, compound IV kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucoside can also inhibit apoptosis, improve the symptoms of gastric cancer transformation, precancerous lesions and other symptoms of gastric cancer.

[0086] In summary, hibiscus flower has good application prospect for the treatment of atrophic gastritis related gastric diseases.
