Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical technology industry, specifically to an in-situ inclusion complex preparation method for paeonol inclusion compounds in traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations. Background Technology
[0002] Paeonol is one of the main active ingredients in the root bark of *Paeonia suffruticosa* Andr. (Ranunculaceae family) and the dried root and rhizome of *Cynanchumpaniculatum* (Bge.) Kitag. (Asclepiadaceae family). Paeonol is a white or slightly yellow crystalline powder with a characteristic odor and a slightly spicy taste. It is readily soluble in ethanol and methanol, soluble in hot water, insoluble in cold water, and volatilizes with steam. Paeonol possesses various pharmacological activities, such as antipyretic analgesia, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, anti-allergic properties, cardiovascular protection, antitumor activity, and hypoglycemic effects. Paeonol exhibits significant pharmacological activity, few adverse reactions, and a short half-life, making it a promising candidate for a wide range of applications. Because paeonol has a distinctive odor, is highly volatile, unstable to light, temperature, and humidity, and has poor water solubility, it is often treated by inclusion complexation to reduce its volatility, increase its water solubility, improve its stability and bioavailability. Currently, common methods for preparing paeonol inclusion complexes include saturated aqueous solution method, ultrasonic method, grinding method, and spray drying method.
[0003] Existing processes for paeonol inclusion complexes typically involve decocting peony bark alone, extracting paeonol distillate using steam distillation, refrigerating the collected distillate overnight to obtain paeonol crystals, dissolving the crystals in ethanol, and then inclusion complexes with a saturated aqueous solution of beta-cyclodextrin. However, when using steam distillation to co-decoct complexes containing peony bark, the resulting distillate contains complex components such as paeonol. Due to the low paeonol content in the distillate, refrigeration fails to yield paeonol crystals. Directly including the mixed paeonol distillate with beta-cyclodextrin in the prepared paeonol inclusion complex suffers from low inclusion rate and yield, instability, and poor water solubility. To address the issue of low yield and inclusion rate of paeonol inclusion complex during the co-decoction of traditional Chinese medicine formulas containing peony bark, this invention provides a one-step method for directly preparing paeonol inclusion complexes from the steam distillate of co-decoctions of traditional Chinese medicine formulas containing peony bark. The prepared paeonol inclusion complexes exhibit high inclusion rate and yield, as well as good stability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an in-situ inclusion preparation method for paeonol inclusion complex in traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations. The prepared paeonol inclusion complex has good stability, is not easily detached, and has a high inclusion rate and yield.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: This invention provides an in-situ inclusion complex preparation method for paeonol inclusion compounds in traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations, comprising the following steps: (1) Take all the medicinal materials in the compound containing peony bark, add 6 to 15 times the amount of water and soak for 0.5 to 2 hours, then extract by steam distillation and collect 1 to 5 times the weight of the medicinal materials in the distillate; (2) Keep the distillate at 25-50℃ and stir. Add hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin to the distillate. The mass ratio of the distillate to hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin is 5:1 to 50:1. (3) Continue stirring to dissolve the hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin, and keep it at 25-50°C for 0.5-4 hours. After stopping the heating, continue stirring until the temperature reaches room temperature to obtain the inclusion solution. (4) Freeze-dry the inclusion solution to obtain paeonol inclusion complex.
[0006] Preferably, the conditions for steam distillation extraction in step (1) are: add 10 times the amount of water to soak for 1 hour, and collect 3 times the weight of the medicinal material in the distillate.
[0007] Preferably, hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin is used as an inclusion agent in step (2).
[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of the distillate to hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin in step (2) is 30:1.
[0009] Preferably, the stirring conditions in step (3) are stirring at 30°C for 1 hour.
[0010] The present invention also provides a paeonol inclusion complex prepared by the above method.
[0011] Beneficial effects: 1. This invention utilizes hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin as an inclusion agent, limiting the ratio of paeonol distillate to inclusion agent to 5:1 to 50:1 (g / g), and employs direct freeze-drying to achieve in-situ inclusion of paeonol in the steam distillate of traditional Chinese medicine compound decoctions containing peony bark. This inclusion process solves key issues such as inclusion rate, yield, and stability of the active ingredient, while eliminating several energy-intensive and easily destructive steps required in the production of traditional Chinese medicine compound formulas containing peony bark, including separate extraction of peony bark distillate, purification of the distillate, and subsequent paeonol inclusion. This invention reduces the exposure and loss of paeonol in intermediate stages, thereby preparing a stable and non-detachable paeonol inclusion complex, thus improving the inclusion rate and yield. The inclusion rate can reach over 80%, and the inclusion complex yield over 95%, ensuring the full utilization of the effective components in the traditional Chinese medicine compound. Meanwhile, the inclusion of paeonol can be completed directly in one step by steam distillation of the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine compound. The reduction of preparation steps directly leads to a decrease in equipment, time and energy costs, and improves overall efficiency and utilization.
[0012] 2. The method of the present invention does not depend on a specific compound and has good applicability to various compound formulas containing peony bark, and the process has strong universality.
[0013] 3. The steam distillation and freeze drying technologies used in this invention are mature pharmaceutical preparation technologies. Their preparation process conditions are mild, the operation is simple, the repeatability is good, and no complex and expensive equipment is required. They are suitable for large-scale industrial production and have a high market transformation prospect. Detailed Implementation
