Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising magnolol and borneol, and its use in the preparation of a medicament for treating cerebrovascular diseases. Background Technology

[0002] Cerebrovascular disease is a general term for brain diseases caused by impaired blood supply to the brain, including cerebral arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, stenosis, occlusion, cerebral arteritis, cerebral artery injury, cerebral aneurysm, intracranial vascular malformation, and cerebral arteriovenous fistula. Its pathological change involves the sudden rupture or occlusion of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in functional impairment of the brain tissue innervated by that vessel. Cerebrovascular disease is characterized by "five highs": high incidence, high recurrence rate, high disability rate, high mortality rate, and high economic burden, making it one of the major diseases threatening the health of the Chinese population. Statistics show that there are over 12.4 million people aged 40 and above with stroke in my country. On average, one person experiences a first-time or recurrent stroke every 10 seconds, and one person dies from stroke every 28 seconds. Among survivors, approximately 75% suffer from sequelae, and 40% experience severe disability, causing enormous economic losses and physical and mental suffering for patients and their families. Therefore, the future prospects of cerebrovascular disease in my country are extremely grim, and cerebrovascular disease has become a hot topic in medical research.

[0003] Cerebrovascular diseases can be divided into ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) mainly includes cerebral infarction (including cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism) and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs); hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases include cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral hemorrhage, as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage. The incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease is higher than that of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, accounting for more than 70% of all cerebrovascular diseases, and it is showing a continuous increasing trend, while the incidence of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease is showing a decreasing trend year by year.

[0004] Brain cells have a high demand for energy, nutrients, and oxygen. Once ischemia and hypoxia occur in the brain, metabolic disorders will occur rapidly, leading to cell damage. If the blood supply to the brain is impaired for a certain period, it will result in cerebral infarction. Pathological studies show that an ischemic penumbra typically forms around the lesion of a cerebral infarction, containing a large number of brain cells that are only able to maintain their morphology and are in a dormant or semi-dormant state. The ischemic penumbra generally exists for about 6-24 hours. Within this time, timely restoration of blood flow to the ischemic area can prevent further necrosis of the ischemic tissue and save the damaged tissue. If this time is exceeded or the blood supply condition worsens, and the degree of ischemia further increases, the integrity of the cell membrane will be damaged, and nerve cells will die, causing irreversible damage. In recent years, with the widespread clinical application of interventional techniques and thrombolysis, ischemic tissues and organs have received timely blood supply. However, clinical and animal experiments have also revealed that the damage and functional impairment in ischemic brain regions are not alleviated by the restoration of blood supply; in fact, clinical symptoms may worsen. This phenomenon is known as cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), and in severe cases, it can even lead to cerebral edema and hemorrhage. The pathogenesis of CIRI is highly complex, involving numerous factors such as free radical damage, hypoxia and energy metabolism failure, inflammatory damage, calcium overload, and excitatory amino acid toxicity, ultimately resulting in neuronal necrosis and loss of functional symptoms.

[0005] Therefore, ischemic cerebrovascular disease is caused by a transient or persistent decrease in blood flow in the main arteries of the brain. Its pathological process involves complex temporal and spatial cascade reactions, and the treatment of this disease cannot be done with a single model, which remains a major challenge in clinical practice.

[0006] Honokiol is an active ingredient isolated from the dried bark, root bark, and branch bark of Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils. or Magnolia offinalis Rehd. et Wils. var. biloba Rehd. et Wils., belonging to the Magnoliaceae family. It can also be synthesized chemically. Its molecular formula is: C 18 H 18 O2, with a molecular weight of 266.3343, has the following structural formula:

[0007]

[0008] Honokiol is a multi-target drug for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, exhibiting the ability to inhibit oxygen free radicals and enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes. For example, it significantly and dose-dependently reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue and increases the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and peroxidase (POD) in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue. It also significantly increases sodium levels in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue. + -K + -ATPase activity (P<0.05). It exhibits significant antithrombotic activity; for example, honokiol significantly reduces endothelial cell apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-3 activity, maintaining endothelial cell integrity and releasing antithrombotic active substances. It exerts its antithrombotic effect by upregulating endothelial cell PGIS protein expression, increasing PGI2 production and release. It also shows significant neuroprotective effects; for example, honokiol reduces neurotoxic NO and H2S production in ischemia-reperfusion tissue cells, inhibits the opening of mPTP in brain tissue, and reduces PARP-1 activity, thus alleviating neuronal damage. Furthermore, it demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory activity; for example, honokiol inhibits the release of inflammatory factors from activated glial cells in brain tissue during ischemia-reperfusion, suppressing the inflammatory response and reducing cerebral edema. Animal pharmacodynamic studies have shown that magnolol has a strong anti-cerebral ischemia effect: it significantly improves microcirculation and blood flow in the ischemic brain area, increases the number of capillaries in the ischemic area; reduces cerebral edema and shrinks the infarct area of ​​local cerebral ischemia in rats; improves brain energy metabolism and inhibits nerve cell apoptosis; and inhibits thrombus formation, etc.

[0009] Borneol, including natural borneol (dextral borneol) and synthetic borneol, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. The 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China includes both natural borneol (dextral borneol) and synthetic borneol. Natural borneol (dextral borneol) is extracted and processed from the fresh branches and leaves of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora (h.) Presl), a plant of the Lauraceae family. Its main component is dextrorotatory borneol [(+)-boreol, (+)-2-camphor, CAS: 464-43-7], with a content of not less than 96%. Synthetic borneol is a refined product chemically synthesized from turpentine oil or camphor. It is a racemic mixture of dextrorotatory borneol [(+)-boreol] and levorotatory borneol [(-)-boreol], with a borneol content of not less than 55%. The structures of dextrorotatory borneol [(+)-boreol, (+)-2-camphor] and levorotatory borneol ((-)-boreol, (-)-2-camphor, CAS: 464-45-9) are as follows:

[0010]

[0011] Borneol has a pungent and bitter taste, is slightly cold in nature, and enters the heart, spleen, and lung meridians. It has the functions of opening the orifices and waking the mind, clearing heat and relieving pain. It is used for febrile delirium, convulsions, stroke with phlegm syncope, sudden syncope due to qi stagnation, coma due to sudden illness, chest pain, red eyes, mouth sores, sore throat, and ear discharge. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that borneol (natural borneol) promotes the opening of the blood-brain barrier, helping other drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier and exert their effects. It is often combined with other drugs to significantly prolong the retention time of effective drugs. Borneol (natural borneol) can effectively reduce the number of errors in the step-down response after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice, enhance the memory ability of mice, significantly reduce the neurological behavioral scores of mice with middle cerebral artery embolism, and reduce the area of ​​cerebral infarction. Dextrorotatory borneol can significantly improve neurological deficits in rats with permanent middle cerebral artery embolism, improve pathological damage from cerebral ischemia, promote angiogenesis and neurogenesis coupling through the Ang1-VEGF-BDNF pathway, exert neuroprotective effects, reduce inflammatory responses in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system injuries, improve ischemia-reperfusion injury, prevent cardiovascular diseases, reduce cerebral infarction, significantly reduce cerebral edema rate in model rats, and protect damaged nerves.

[0081] After weighing, the mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital (50 mg·kg -1 ), fixed in the supine position on a constant temperature operating table, the skin in the middle of the neck was incised, the bilateral common carotid arteries were separated, and a cotton thread moistened with normal saline was passed through. After waiting for 5 min, when the animal's blood pressure was stable, the cotton thread was fixed and tightened to block the blood flow of the bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 min. The thread was loosened to restore blood flow, the neck skin was sutured aseptically, and 24 h of reperfusion was carried out. In the sham operation group, only the bilateral common carotid arteries were separated without blocking blood flow.

[0082] Mice in the magnolol group and the positive control group were administered the drug via intraperitoneal injection twice, 15 minutes after blood flow was blocked and 15 minutes after blood flow was restored. The sham-operated group and the model group were injected with an equal volume of physiological saline at the same time.

[0083] 2.2 Brain water content measurement

[0084] Brain water content was determined using the wet-dry specific gravity method. Mice underwent brain ischemia surgery followed by reperfusion for 24 hours. The brain was then decapitated, and the cerebellum, olfactory bulb, and lower brainstem were removed. The brain was placed in a glass dish, and the wet brain weight was measured using an analytical balance. The dish was then placed in a drying oven at 110℃ for 12 hours, and the dry brain weight was measured after cooling. Brain water content (%) was calculated using the following formula:

[0085] Brain water content = (Wet brain weight - Dry brain weight) / Wet brain weight × 100%

[0086] 2.3 Determination of Evans Blue Content in Brain Tissue

[0087] Twenty-four hours after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in mice, brain tissue was harvested by decapitation. One hour prior to brain harvesting, Evans blue (50 mg / kg) was injected via the tail vein. The brain tissue was weighed and placed in test tubes, each containing 3 ml of formamide. The tubes were incubated at 45°C for 48 hours. The supernatant was then measured for OD values ​​using a multi-mode microplate reader (λ = 632 nm). Simultaneously, an Evans blue standard solution was prepared, and OD values ​​were measured to plot a standard curve. The amount of Evans blue exudate per unit weight was then calculated.

[0088] 2.4 Statistical Processing

[0089] Experimental results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0 software. Student's t-test was used for comparisons between data groups, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0092]

[0093] Note: Compared with the pseudo-model group: ## P<0.01; compared with the blank control group * P<0.05, ** P<0.01.

[0094] The results are shown in Table 4. The brain water content of the model group mice increased after ischemia / reperfusion injury, showing a statistically significant difference compared to the sham-operated group (p<0.01). High and medium dose groups of magnolol (10, 50 μg·kg⁻¹) were also observed.-1 ) can reduce the brain water content after cerebral ischemia / reperfusion injury in mice, showing significant differences compared with the model group (p < 0.05); honokiol (50.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group, honokiol (10.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group showed highly significant differences compared with the model group (p < 0.01), and honokiol (2.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group showed significant differences compared with the model group (p < 0.05), suggesting that the combined administration of borneol and honokiol can significantly reduce the degree of ischemic reperfusion brain edema, enabling honokiol to improve the brain edema state in mice at a lower dose.

[0095] Honokiol at a concentration of 50 μg·kg -1 can significantly reduce the Evans blue exudation amount per unit brain tissue in cerebral ischemia / reperfusion mice, suggesting that it inhibits the increase in cerebral capillary permeability caused by ischemia / reperfusion injury, thereby reducing edema (p < 0.05); honokiol (50.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group, honokiol (10.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group showed highly significant differences compared with the model group (p < 0.01), and honokiol (2.0 μg·kg -1 ) + borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group showed significant differences compared with the model group (p < 0.05), suggesting that the combined administration of borneol and honokiol can significantly reduce the Evans blue exudation amount in the brain tissue of mice after cerebral ischemia / reperfusion injury, enabling honokiol to improve the brain edema state in mice at a lower dose, and has a stronger inhibitory effect than the honokiol group and the positive drug Ginaton (Ginkgo biloba extract injection, 60 mg·kg -1 ).

[0100] 2. Experimental Methods

[0101] 2.1 Mouse model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion

[0102] Male ICR mice, weighing 30±5g, were randomly divided into 9 groups: sham-operated group, model control group (NS), and honokiol (2.0, 10.0, 50.0 μg·kg⁻¹). -1 The dosage group, and the group receiving magnolol + dextrorotatory borneol (50 + 500 μg·kg) -1 10+500μg·kg -1 2.0 + 500 μg·kg -1 Dosage group and vitamin E (VE) 0.5 g / kg -1 Positive control group. Mice were weighed, and chloral hydrate (350 mg / kg) was added. -1 After anesthesia (IP), the mice were fixed in a supine position, and the bilateral common carotid arteries were separated and threaded with silk sutures. The bilateral common carotid arteries were clamped for 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of restored blood flow. The model control group and the honokiol dosage group received intravenous injections of the drug before clamping and before restoration of blood flow, respectively. Thirty minutes after restoration of blood flow, the mice were sacrificed, and their brains were immediately removed by decapitation under ice. The vitamin E group received oral administration for 5 days, with surgery performed 1 hour after the last administration. The sham surgery group only had the bilateral common carotid arteries separated, without clamping or administration of the drug, and was decapitated and had its brains removed 1 hour later.

[0103] Preparation of brain tissue homogenate: Under ice bath conditions, brain tissue was mixed with 0.9% physiological saline to prepare a 10% homogenate. The homogenate was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at 0–4°C. The supernatant was then collected as the sample to be tested.

[0104] 2.2 Determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content

[0105] Mix 0.3 ml of brain homogenate, 2 ml of 0.67% TBA, and 1.7 ml of distilled water. For the blank tube, mix 2 ml of 0.67% TBA with 2 ml of distilled water. Heat in a boiling water bath for 60 min, then remove and cool to room temperature under running water. Add 4 ml of n-butanol and mix thoroughly. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 min and measure the n-butanol phase. Zero the blank tube and measure the absorbance at 535 nm using a spectrophotometer. The absorbance is determined according to the following formula:

[0106] C = OD / ε·D (where C is the concentration, OD is the absorbance, and ε is the extinction coefficient, 1.56 × 10⁻⁶) 5 The MDA concentration can be calculated from the path length (where D is the optical path).

[0107] 2.3 Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assay

[0108] Determination of the auto-oxidation rate of pyrogallol: 50 mmol·L -1 Add 4.5 ml of pH 8.3 K2HPO4-KH2PO4 buffer to 50 mmol·L⁻¹ pre-warmed (25°C) water. -1 10 μl of pyrogallol was rapidly mixed and poured into a cuvette with a 1 cm optical path. The OD value was measured every 30 seconds at a wavelength of 325 nm, with the auto-oxidation rate controlled at 0.070 OD·min. -1 about.

[0109] Determination of SOD enzyme activity: The determination method is the same as that for determining the auto-oxidation rate of pyrogallol. Before adding pyrogallol, add the SOD homogenate to be tested, and calculate the enzyme activity according to the following formula based on the measured data.

[0110]

[0111] 2.4 Catalase (CAT) Activity Assay

[0112] Add 0.1 ml of sample to a mixture of 0.4 ml H₂O₂ solution and 0.5 ml phosphate buffer, mix well, and time accurately. Immediately after 60 seconds, add 2 ml potassium dichromate acetate solution to terminate the reaction. Then boil in boiling water for 10 minutes and cool at room temperature. Perform the same procedure for the reagent blank and sample blank tubes, but replace the sample with 0.1 ml phosphate buffer in the reagent blank tube, and add 0.9 ml phosphate buffer to the 0.1 ml sample in the sample blank tube. Zero the wavelength at 570 nm using the sample blank tube and measure the A value of both the sample tube and the reagent blank tube. Calculate the tissue CAT activity using the following formula:

[0113] CAT activity (K / mg.pr.)=Ka(1000 / b)

[0114] a represents the dilution factor of the brain homogenate sample, and b represents the grams of protein per liter of tissue fluid. K = 2.3 / 60 × loga(reagent blank tube A value) / (sample tube A value)

[0115] 2.5 Statistical Analysis

[0116] Experimental results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0 software. Student's t-test was used to compare data between groups, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0117] 3. Experimental Results

[0118] The combination of magnolol and magnolol plus dextrorotatory borneol, administered intravenously to mice before cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, respectively, showed significant effects in increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in brain tissue and reducing the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation product. The effects on catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) were more pronounced, and the effects were superior to those of vitamin E (ig once daily for 5 times). The data are shown in Table 5.

[0121] *p<0.05, **p<0.01, compared with the model group. ^^p<0.01, compared with the pseudo-model group.

[0122] As shown in Table 5, the MDA level in the brain tissue of the model group was significantly higher than that of the sham-operated group (p<0.01), indicating the success of the cerebral ischemia / reperfusion model. Compared with the model group, the levels of magnolol at 10 and 50 μg / kg were significantly higher. -1 It can significantly and dose-dependently reduce MDA levels in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.01 or p<0.05), and honokiol 2.0 μg·kg -1 and Vitamin E 0.5g·kg -1 It also significantly reduced MDA levels (P<0.05); and magnolol (50.0 μg·kg⁻¹) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (10.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (2.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 All groups showed a significant and dose-dependent reduction in MDA levels in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.01).

[0123] Table 5 data show that the SOD activity in the brain tissue of the model group was significantly lower than that of the sham-operated group (p<0.01), indicating that the cerebral ischemia / reperfusion model was successfully established. Compared with the model group, honokiol 10 and 50 μg·kg... -1 It can significantly increase SOD activity in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.05, p<0.01); and magnolol (50.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (10.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (2.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 The group that showed significant improvement in SOD activity in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.01, p<0.05) and vitamin E 0.5 g / kg also significantly improved SOD activity (p<0.01). However, 2.0 μg / kg -1 Honokiol had no significant effect on increasing SOD activity in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue of mice.

[0124] Table 5 shows that CAT activity in the brain tissue of the model group was significantly lower than that of the sham-operated group (p<0.01), indicating that the cerebral ischemia / reperfusion model was successful. Compared with the model group, the levels of magnolol (2.0, 10, 50 μg·kg⁻¹) were significantly lower. -1 It can significantly increase CAT activity in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.01); and magnolol (50.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (10.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ), and magnolol (2.0 μg·kg) -1 ) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 The group showed a significant increase in CAT activity in ischemic / reperfused brain tissue (p<0.01); Vitamin E 0.5 g·kg -1 It can also significantly increase CAT activity (P<0.01).

[0125] At the same dosage, the combined administration of magnolol and dextrorotatory borneol resulted in better improvement of MDA content and SOD activity in brain tissue, thereby reducing the effective dose of magnolol, decreasing its clinical dosage, and reducing its adverse reactions.

[0127] 1. Animal experiments and materials

[0128] 1.1 Animals Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, male, weighing 280 ± 20 g, were provided by Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. The production license number of experimental animals was SCXK (Beijing) 2016-0006. The license number for using experimental animals was SCXK (Beijing) 2011-0039.

[0129] 1.2 Drugs Tested drugs: honokiol injection solution prepared in Example 1, honokiol + natural borneol injection solution. The positive control group was nimodipine injection, and the model control and sham operation groups were given 1.0% HP-β-CD solution.

[0130] 1.3 Data processing The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and inter-group tests using SPSS 11.5 statistical software.

[0131] 2. Effects on neurological behavior scores and infarction area after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats

[0132] 2.1 Establishment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model: After the rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (350 mg·kg -1 , ip), they were fixed in the supine position. The common carotid artery (CCA) and vagus nerve, internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) were exposed. The ICA and CCA were clamped respectively. A small incision was made on the external carotid artery, and the embolization wire was slowly inserted through the incision towards the proximal end of the external carotid artery. The arterial clamp on the internal carotid artery was released, and the external carotid artery was pulled to be in a straight line with the internal carotid artery. The embolization wire was inserted into the internal carotid artery through the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, with an average insertion length of 20 ± 2 mm. When a slight resistance was felt, it reached the anterior cerebral artery, blocking the blood flow of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), and the embolization wire was fixed. After 2 h, the embolization wire was removed to complete the ischemia-reperfusion injury operation. The body temperature of the animals during the operation was maintained at 37 °C using a thermostatic mouse board. In the sham operation group, only the blood vessels were dissected without inserting the embolization wire.

[0133] 2.2 Grouping and drug administration: Ninety adult male SD rats (weighing 280 ± 20 g) were randomly divided into 9 groups (10 rats in each group): ① sham model group; ② model group; ③ high-dose honokiol group (50 μg·kg -1 ); ④ medium-dose honokiol group (10 μg·kg -1 ); ⑤ low-dose honokiol group (2.0 μg·kg -1 ); ⑥ high-dose honokiol (50 μg·kg -1 ) + natural borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group; ⑦ medium-dose honokiol (10 μg·kg -1 ) + natural borneol (500 μg·kg -1 ) group; ⑧ honokiol (2 μg·kg -1) + Natural borneol (500μg·kg) -1 ) Low-dose group; ⑨ Positive control group: Nimodipine group (Nimodipine 1 mg / kg) -1 Different drugs were administered intravenously to each treatment group 15 minutes after ischemia and 15 minutes after reperfusion; the model group was given the same volume of normal saline, and the nimodipine group was given once 15 minutes after ischemia.

[0134] 2.3. Neurological Behavioral Scoring and Infarction Extent Determination: Twenty-four hours after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, their neurological function was scored according to the Bederson scoring system. Subsequently, rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate, and the brain tissue was flushed with cold saline through the heart to remove blood. The entire brain was quickly removed via craniotomy, frozen at -20°C for 15-20 minutes, and sectioned coronally on an ice pack. Each section was 2 mm thick and incubated in 2% TTC solution at 37°C in the dark for 20 minutes, turning once every 10 minutes to ensure uniform staining. The brain slices were then fixed in 10% formalin for 24 hours. Normal brain tissue appeared bright red, while infarcted brain tissue appeared white. Digital photography was used to photograph the brain slices, and the infarct area was measured using Project 1.2 software to determine the percentage of the total brain area covered by the infarction.

[0135] 3. Experimental Results

[0136] The results are shown in Table 6.

[0139] *p<0.05, **p<0.01, compared with the model group. ^^p<0.01, compared with the pseudo-model group.

[0140] 3.1 Neurological Function Scoring: The results showed that the brain tissue of rats in the sham-operated group was normal, with no infarction. The model group rats showed significant brain ischemia and severe infarction, with a highly significant difference compared to the sham-operated group (p<0.01), indicating successful model establishment. The high-dose magnolol group showed a highly significant difference compared to the model group (p<0.01), and the medium-dose group showed a significant difference (p<0.05), suggesting that magnolol has a significant effect in reducing cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The high-dose and medium-dose magnolol + natural borneol groups showed highly significant differences compared to the model group (p<0.01), and the low-dose group showed a significant difference (p<0.05). Furthermore, compared to magnolol alone, at the same dosage, the combined administration of magnolol and natural borneol enhanced the improvement of neurological defects after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, allowing magnolol to achieve a therapeutic effect at a lower dose, thereby reducing its clinical dosage and improving efficacy. The combined administration of dextrorotatory borneol and magnolol can reduce the area of ​​ischemic cerebral infarction in rats, enabling magnolol to effectively reduce the infarct area in rats at a lower dose, thereby reducing the dosage of magnolol, improving efficacy, and reducing its adverse reactions.

[0141] 3.2 Determination of the infarct area: Results showed that the brain tissue of rats in the sham-operated group was normal, with no infarction. The brain tissue of rats in the model group showed significant ischemia and a clearly defined infarct area, with a highly significant difference compared to the sham-operated group (p<0.01), indicating successful model establishment; and honokiol (50.0 μg·kg⁻¹) -1 The dosage group significantly improved the cerebral infarction area after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, showing a highly significant difference compared with the model group (p<0.01), and magnolol (10.0 μg·kg) also improved the infarction area. -1 The dosage group significantly improved the infarct size after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, showing a significant difference compared to the model group (p<0.05). The combination of magnolol and natural borneol was also observed at magnolol dosages of 50, 10, and 2.0 μg / kg. -1 All doses improved the cerebral infarction range in rats after ischemia-reperfusion, showing highly significant differences (p<0.01) or significant differences (p<0.05) compared with the model group. Moreover, compared with honokiol alone, at the same dosage, the combined administration of honokiol and borneol enhanced the improvement of the cerebral infarction range in rats after ischemia-reperfusion by honokiol, thereby reducing the effective dose of honokiol and enhancing the therapeutic effect.
