Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine preparation technology, specifically to a preparation process and fingerprint spectrum of Xin'an Capsules. Background Technology
[0002] Xin'an Capsules are made from the ethanol extract of hawthorn leaves. Their main functions are to dilate coronary blood vessels, improve myocardial blood supply, and lower blood lipids. They are used to treat coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, chest tightness, palpitations, and hypertension. The production processes of Xin'an Capsules vary among different companies, resulting in some differences in the components of the capsules produced. Maintaining the stability of the content of each component in Xin'an Capsules is an important research direction for each company.
[0003] The existing manufacturing process for Xin'an capsules has the following defects:
[0004] Existing technology CN120939089A discloses a preparation process for improving the filling quality of Xin'an capsules. This technology includes six steps: weighing 4-5 kg of hawthorn leaf extract powder and 0.5 kg of corn starch, then adding 95% ethanol, followed by soft material preparation, granulation, drying, pulverization, addition of excipients during total mixing, and filling. Excipients that improve the flowability of the powder are added to the pulverized powder. During mixing, the excipients cover the powder surface, forming a hydrophobic layer that directly blocks moisture contact, improving the flowability of the powder. This ensures that the filling weight deviates very little from the standard weight, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the finished capsules.
[0005] The above-mentioned technology produces Xin'an capsules by mixing hawthorn leaf extract powder with excipients. However, the stability of the content of various active ingredients in the produced Xin'an capsules cannot be guaranteed, and the content of active ingredients varies greatly among different Xin'an capsules, resulting in instability in efficacy. Therefore, a preparation process that can improve the stability of the content of various active ingredients in Xin'an capsules is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention
[0006] One objective of this application is to provide a preparation process and fingerprint spectrum of Xin'an capsules, which can solve the technical problems raised in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a preparation process for Xin'an capsules, wherein the preparation process for Xin'an capsules includes extraction and formulation, and the extraction includes the following steps:

[0072] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The present invention provides an embodiment;
[0073] Figure 3 The content of vitexin rhamnoside in Xin'an capsules produced by various companies is measured. Vitexin rhamnoside is an important component of total flavonoids in hawthorn leaves, which has the effects of dilating coronary blood vessels, improving myocardial blood supply, and lowering blood lipids. Vitexin rhamnoside has a concentration-dependent vasodilatory effect on isolated arterial rings and has a direct arterial dilation pharmacological effect. It can be used alone as a treatment drug for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, this substance is used as one of the comparative control indicators for Xin'an capsules. Vitexin rhamnoside has a concentration-dependent vasodilatory effect on isolated arterial rings. The product produced by this invention has a relatively high content in the market, which will have a more significant effect on controlling myocardial blood supply and hyperlipidemia.
[0074] Figure 4The content of vitexin glucoside in Xin'an capsules produced by various companies was analyzed. Vitexin glucoside, a unique flavonoid component in hawthorn leaves, has shown significant antioxidant effects in in vitro experiments. As one of the main flavonoid components in hawthorn leaves, the analysis of the in vitro and in vivo experimental results of total flavonoids in hawthorn leaf extract preliminarily determined that vitexin glucoside plays a certain role in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, and protection of cardiac function by total flavonoid extract of hawthorn leaves.
[0075] Figure 5 This refers to the rutin content in the Xin'an capsules produced by various companies. Rutin is a vitamin that can reduce capillary permeability and fragility, maintain and restore the normal elasticity of capillaries, and is used to prevent and treat hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, diabetic retinal hemorrhage, and hemorrhagic purpura. It can also be used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, inflammation, etc.
[0076] Figure 6 The content of hyperoside in Xin'an capsules produced by various companies is listed. Hyperoside has multiple effects such as anti-tumor, anti-aging, anti-depression, and anti-inflammation. At the same time, it can also regulate the circulatory system, immune system, digestive system, and nervous system. Among its various pharmacological effects, its anti-oxidative stress damage and anti-apoptosis effects have always been a research hotspot.
[0077] Figure 7 This refers to the content of vitexin in the Xin'an capsules produced by various companies. Vitexin's main function is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, regulate qi, and unblock the meridians. It is used for chest pain caused by blood stasis obstructing the meridians, with symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, stabbing pain in the precordial region, palpitations, forgetfulness, dizziness, and tinnitus. It is also used for symptoms such as angina pectoris, hyperlipidemia, and insufficient blood supply to the heart arteries. Recent studies have found that hawthorn and its leaves contain a compound called vitexin, which has anti-cancer effects.
[0078] Figure 8 This information pertains to the chlorogenic acid content in Xin'an capsules produced by various companies. Chlorogenic acid possesses pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, choleretic, hypotensive, and leukocyte-increasing properties, as well as significantly increasing gastrointestinal motility and promoting gastric juice secretion. It exhibits strong inhibitory effects against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and viruses. It also shows significant efficacy in treating acute pharyngitis and skin diseases. Clinically, it is used to treat acute bacterial infections and leukopenia caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Years of clinical trials have confirmed that chlorogenic acid has a significant hypotensive effect with stable efficacy, no toxicity, and no side effects. Modern pharmacological experiments have demonstrated that chlorogenic acid has anticancer and cancer-suppressing effects. Japanese scholars have studied the mutagenicity-inhibiting effect of chlorogenic acid and found that this effect is related to antimutagenic components such as chlorogenic acid, revealing the important significance of chlorogenic acid in tumor prevention.
[0079] Based on the above tests and pharmacological analyses, it can be seen that the effective amounts of all active ingredients in the Xin'an Capsules produced by this invention can be well controlled. Except for hyperoside, due to slight differences in process control methods, the other ingredients are among the top in various manufacturers.
[0080] To better serve the market and ensure the uniformity, stability, reliability, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products, the company is now conducting comprehensive analysis and testing of market products. Using the "2012 Edition of the Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine," a UPLC fingerprint of Xin'an Capsules has been established and similarity calculations performed to determine the product's uniformity and quality stability. Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen that the Xin'an Capsules produced by our company, batches 1902001, 1902002, 1903001 and 1903002, have the same similarity, while other manufacturers' batches are slightly different. Therefore, the existing process can guarantee the stability and uniformity of the product.
[0081] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the rights involved.
