TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, and specifically relates to a composition for treating type 2 diabetes and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are various types of drugs for treating type 2 diabetes, each with its unique mechanism of action, clinical advantages, and potential risks. Doctors usually develop individualized treatment plans based on patients' blood glucose levels, complication risks, economic conditions, and tolerability. The following are several commonly used types of hypoglycemic drugs and their analysis: (1) Metformin: Metformin is a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, with a low price and clear hypoglycemic effect, and can also improve insulin resistance and possibly reduce cardiovascular risk. However, about 30% of patients may experience gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and diarrhea during the initial period of medication, and long-term use may affect the absorption of vitamin B12. In addition, patients with severely impaired renal function should avoid using metformin to prevent lactic acidosis. (2) SGLT-2 inhibitors: Significant heart and kidney protection, but increased risk of infection. SGLT-2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin and empagliflozin can lower blood glucose by promoting urinary glucose excretion, and can also reduce cardiovascular events and delay kidney disease progression. However, this type of drug may increase the risk of urogenital system infections (such as urinary tract infections and vulvar pruritus), and may induce rare ketoacidosis, especially in patients with type 1 diabetes or extreme dieting. (3) GLP-1 receptor agonists: Strong hypoglycemic weight loss, but expensive and with significant side effects. GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and liraglutide can not only significantly lower blood glucose, but also help patients lose weight and even reduce cardiovascular events. However, gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting are relatively common, and some patients may stop taking the drug due to intolerance. In addition, this type of drug is expensive, and the long-term safety (such as the risk of thyroid tumors) still needs to be confirmed by more research. (4) Sulfonylureas: Strong hypoglycemic effect, but high risk of hypoglycemia. Sulfonylureas such as glimepiride and glipizide can effectively stimulate insulin secretion, have a strong hypoglycemic effect, and are relatively low in price. However, they can cause severe hypoglycemia, especially in older patients or those with impaired renal function, and long-term use may accelerate the decline of beta cell function. (5) Insulin: Most direct and effective, but requires injection and may cause weight gain. For patients with advanced type 2 diabetes, insulin is the most effective hypoglycemic means. However, insulin therapy is usually associated with weight gain and the risk of hypoglycemia, and frequent blood glucose monitoring is required, with poor patient compliance. (6) DPP-4 inhibitors: High safety, but limited hypoglycemic effect. DPP-4 inhibitors such as sitagliptin and vildagliptin have a low risk of hypoglycemia and are suitable for older patients, but have a limited hypoglycemic range and may increase the risk of pancreatitis (although rare).
[0003] With the continuous development of the field of diabetes treatment, western medicine has made significant progress in the effect of reducing blood sugar and protecting target organs, but there are still certain side effects and limitations in long-term use. Under this background, the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine have gradually attracted attention.

The prepared wet pellets are placed in a pelletizer, sprayed with 95% ethanol solution to wet, and alternately sprinkled with the remaining 2% fine powder for 2 times, and then rolled and polished. After 60 min, the pellets are taken out, sieved, and the upper sieve is 5.0 mm and the lower sieve is 4.5 mm. The sieved wet pellets are placed in an oven at 80℃ for drying for 4 h to obtain the composition pellets (also known as Ganligexiandongtongmai pellets).
[0039] Example 3 A composition for treating type 2 diabetes is prepared from the following raw materials: ophiopogon 10g, schisandra 3g, astragalus 10g, salvia 13g, sugar cane leaf 40g, oyster 10g, trichosanthes kirilowii 13g, blumea balsamifera 2g, and red ginseng 4g.
[0040] The preparation method is as follows: The sugar cane leaf, oyster, ophiopogon, schisandra, astragalus, and salvia are mixed to obtain a mixture. The mixture is mixed with water, heated and decocted for extraction for 3 times, 8 times the weight of the mixture is added each time, decocted for extraction for 1.5 h, filtered, and the filtrates of the two times are combined to obtain a decoction. The decoction is concentrated into a concentrate with a relative density of 1.10 (60℃). The concentrate is fully stirred with an equal amount of edible ethanol, left to stand for 54 h, the supernatant is taken, and concentrated into a thick paste with a relative density of 1.30 (60℃) for standby.
[0041] The blumea balsamifera, trichosanthes kirilowii and red ginseng are crushed, passed through a 100 mesh sieve, sterilized, and mixed to obtain fine powder.

The sieved wet pellets are placed in an oven at 75℃ for drying for 4.5 h to obtain the composition pellets (also known as Ganligexiandongtongmai pellets).
[0042] Test Example 1 A single factor test is conducted on step (1) of the preparation method of Example 1 to investigate the effects of soaking time, decoction time, water amount, and decoction times on the quality of the composition. The dry extract rate of the medicinal liquid and the content of salvianolic acid B in salvia are used as evaluation indexes.
[0043] 1. Soaking time investigation The difference between the step (1) of the example 1 is that after obtaining the mixture, the water quantity is 8 times of the mixture weight each time, after adding water the first time, respectively soak 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 h, the rest is the same as the step (1) of the example 1, after combining the two filtrates, calculate the dry extract rate; at the same time, take the combined filtrate to determine the content of salvianolic acid B by liquid phase method. At the same time, carry out 3 parallel tests, the results are shown in table 1.
[0044] Table 1 soaking time investigation results (n=3)
[0045] From table 1, it can be seen that the increase of soaking time has little effect on the dry extract rate, and after the soaking time is more than 1 h, the content of salvianolic acid B is reduced, so the soaking time is not taken as the investigation factor of the decoction process optimization. Moreover, in the actual production, the medicinal material quantity is large, in order to save time and cost, the soaking time before decoction is determined as 0 h.
[0046] 2. Water quantity investigation The difference between the step (1) of the example 1 is that after obtaining the mixture, respectively add 6, 8, 10, 12 times of water, the rest is the same as the step (1) of the example 1. After combining the two filtrates, calculate the dry extract rate; at the same time, take the combined filtrate to determine the content of salvianolic acid B by liquid phase method. At the same time, carry out 3 parallel tests, the results are shown in table 2.
[0047] Table 2 water quantity investigation results (n=3)
[0048] From table 2, it can be seen that the change of water quantity has great effect on the dry extract rate and the total content of salvianolic acid B, after the water quantity reaches 10 times, the increase of dry extract rate tends to be flat, and the content gradually reduces. Therefore, the water quantity is selected as the investigation factor of the decoction process optimization, and the level is selected as 6-10 times.
[0049] 3. Decoction time investigation The difference between the step (1) of the example 1 is that after obtaining the mixture, respectively add 8 times of water, soak 0 h, after adding water the first time, heat and decoct twice, each time 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 h, the rest is the same as the step (1) of the example 1. After combining the two filtrates, calculate the dry extract rate; at the same time, take the combined filtrate to determine the content of salvianolic acid B by liquid phase method. At the same time, carry out 3 parallel tests, the results are shown in table 3.
[0050] Table 3 decoction time investigation results (n=3)
[0051] As can be seen from Table 3, the increase of decocting time has great influence on the dry extract rate, and the increase of dry extract rate tends to be flat after the decocting time reaches 1.5 h, and the content is gradually reduced. Therefore, the time is selected as the investigation factor for the optimization of decocting process, and the level is selected as 0.5-1.5 h.
[0052] 4. Decoction times The difference from step (1) of Example 1 is that after obtaining the mixture, 8 times of water is added respectively, soaked for 0 h, and then heated and decocted for 1, 2 or 3 times respectively, each time for 1.0 h, and the rest is the same as step (1) of Example 1. After the three filtrates are combined, the dry extract rate is calculated; at the same time, the content of salvianolic acid B in the combined filtrate is determined by liquid phase method. Meanwhile, three parallel tests are carried out, and the results are shown in Table 4.
[0053] Table 4 Investigation results of decoction times (n=3)
[0054] As can be seen from Table 4, the increase of decoction times has great influence on the dry extract rate, and the increase of dry extract rate tends to be flat after the decoction times reaches 2 times, and the content is greatly reduced. Therefore, the decoction times is selected as the investigation factor for the optimization of decocting process, and the level is selected as 1-2 times.
[0055] Test Example 2 Effects of Ganlai Xiaoyan Tongmai Pills on type 2 diabetic rats Preparation of type 2 diabetic rat model: half of the healthy rats were taken, and after adaptive feeding for 3 d, high-fat and high-sugar feed was given. After feeding with high-fat and high-sugar feed for 4 weeks, the rats were fasted for 12 h without water, and then injected intraperitoneally (ip) with 35 mg / kg streptozotocin (STZ) citric acid buffer solution at one time. After 72 h, the tail of the mouse was cut to take blood, and the blood glucose was determined by blood glucose meter. The blood glucose >11.1 mmol / L was used as the success standard of modeling. Another 10 rats (as normal control group) were given ordinary feed for 4 weeks, and ip with the same amount of citric acid buffer solution at the same time.
[0056] Test method: the successfully modeled diabetic rats were randomly divided into model control group, metformin (71.4 mg / kg) group, and Ganlai Xiaoyan Tongmai Pills 3.7, 7.4 and 14.8 g / kg dose groups according to the blood glucose value, 10 rats in each group. The rats in the administration groups were given gavage administration at 10 ml / kg, and the normal control group and the model control group were given the same volume of distilled water, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration; the rats were fasted for 16 h without water, and the fasting blood glucose value was measured. The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg / kg sodium pentobarbital, the liver was taken, a small amount of liver tissue was weighed to measure the liver glycogen, and the pancreas was taken and preserved in 4% formaldehyde solution for histopathological examination.
[0057] Table 5 shows the results of fasting blood glucose levels in different groups. The fasting blood glucose levels in the model control group rats were elevated, showing a significant difference compared to the normal control group. p <0.01); Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills were administered to rats by gavage at doses of 7.4 and 14.8 g / kg. After administration, fasting blood glucose levels were significantly reduced, showing a statistically significant difference compared to the model control group. p <0.05 or p <0.01).

[0059] Note: Compared with the normal control group, p <0.01; compared with the model control group, △ p <0.05; △△ p <0.01 The results of liver glycogen level detection in different groups are shown in Table 6. The liver glycogen content in the liver tissue of rats in the model control group was significantly reduced compared with the normal control group, showing a statistically significant difference. p <0.01); Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills administered orally to diabetic rats at doses of 3.7, 7.4, and 14.8 g / kg increased liver glycogen content, showing a significant difference compared to the model control group. p <0.01).
[0060] Table 6. Effects of Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills on Liver Glycogen in Type 2 Diabetic Rats
[0061] Note: Compared with the normal control group, p <0.01; compared with the model control group, △△ p <0.01 The results of the effects on the histopathological characteristics of the pancreas in type 2 diabetic rats are shown in the figure. Figure 1In normal pancreatic tissue, the surface of the pancreas is composed of a thin layer of loose connective tissue, with the capsule extending into the interlobular spaces. Blood vessels pass through the interlobular spaces, which are slightly wide. The glandular parenchyma consists of an exocrine and an endocrine portion. The exocrine portion comprises serous compound tubuloacinar glands with normal cell morphology. The endocrine portion consists of islets of Langerhans scattered within the lobules of the exocrine portion of the pancreas. The islets are abundant and show no obvious abnormalities. In the model group, mild fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia was observed in the exocrine portion of the glandular parenchyma, accompanied by significant inflammatory cell infiltration. Acinar atrophy and reduced volume were observed, with a small number of acinar cells showing vacuolar degeneration and small, round vacuoles visible in the cytoplasm. In the endocrine portion, islet cells showed vacuolar degeneration and round vacuoles in the cytoplasm, with some acinar cells entering the islets. The present invention, Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pill, administered to diabetic rats by gavage at doses of 3.7, 7.4 and 14.8 g / kg, can significantly reduce the proliferation of fibrous connective tissue and inflammatory cell infiltration in the exocrine part of the glandular parenchyma, reduce vacuolar degeneration of pancreatic islet cells, normalize cell morphology, and increase the number of islets.
[0062] Experimental Example 3 Effects of Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills obtained in Example 1 on sleep in mice Fifty healthy mice, half male and half female, were randomly divided into three groups: a normal control group, an estazolam (0.41 g / kg) group, and three groups treated with Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills at doses of 8.3, 16.6, and 33.2 g / kg, with ten mice in each group. Mice in the treatment groups were administered the drug via gavage at a dose of 20 mL / kg, while the normal control group received an equal volume of distilled water. This was done once daily for seven consecutive days. Forty minutes after the last gavage, the mice were observed for 5 minutes of spontaneous activity, including walking time and head lifting frequency. Mice that completed the spontaneous activity test were injected intraperitoneally with 38 mg / kg sodium pentobarbital solution. The mice's sleep status was observed (sleep was measured by the disappearance of the righting reflex; if a mouse could immediately right itself when placed in a supine position, and failed to do so for more than 60 seconds, the righting reflex was lost, and the mouse entered sleep). The time from the disappearance of the righting reflex to its recovery was defined as the mouse's sleep time. The number of mice falling asleep and the sleep time in each group were observed and recorded.
[0063] The results are shown in Tables 7 and 8. Gavage administration of Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills at doses of 16.6 and 33.2 g / kg to mice reduced their walking time and head-raising frequency within 5 minutes, with statistically significant differences compared to the normal control group. p <0.01); Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills administered to mice by gavage at a dose of 8.3 g / kg reduced the walking time of mice within 5 minutes, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the normal control group. p <0.01. Gavage administration of Ganli Xiaodan Tongmai Pills at doses of 16.6 and 33.2 g / kg to rats increased the rate of sleep onset and sleep duration in mice, with statistically significant differences compared to the normal control group. p <0.05 or p<0.01); the Ganlig Xiaoyan Tongmai Pill was administered to the rats at a dose of 8.3 g / kg by gavage, which could increase the sleep time of the mice, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the normal control group (P<0.01) p <0.05).

[0066] Note: compared with the normal control group, p <0.05; p <0.01 The above results show that the Ganlig Xiaoyan Tongmai Pill can indirectly assist in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and its complications by improving sleep. Modern medical research has confirmed that sleep disorders are closely related to the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes. Insomnia and poor sleep quality can aggravate insulin resistance and affect blood glucose control. Traditional Chinese medicine theory also believes that "yang enters yin and sleeps", and diabetes (Xiaoyan) patients often have the pathogenesis of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, leading to insomnia. The Ganlig Xiaoyan Tongmai Pill has the effects of suppressing yang and calming the mind, and can improve the sleep state of patients by nourishing yin and suppressing yang, calming the heart and calming the mind, while treating type 2 diabetes. Good sleep can in turn promote blood glucose stability and complication prevention, forming a positive treatment cycle.
[0067] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
