Description

Application of bletillae rhizoma glycosides, composition containing the same and preparation method thereof

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024107863956, filed on June 18, 2024, and Chinese patent application No. 2024118261828, filed on December 12, 2024. This application incorporates the entire contents of the above-mentioned Chinese patent applications. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of natural active drugs, in particular to the application of bletillae rhizoma glycosides, composition containing the same and preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0003] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that seriously affects the quality of life of patients, can cause joint pain, deformity and dysfunction, and can also lead to the risk of deep venous thromboembolism, hip fracture and all-cause mortality. It is reported that there are more than 300 million OA patients worldwide, and the overall prevalence of primary OA among people over 40 years old in China has reached as high as 46.3%. Moreover, with the increasing degree of population aging in China, the prevalence of OA is gradually increasing. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common site of OA. Pain is a major associated factor of KOA disability, and can seriously affect the quality of life of patients, including functional status and mental health, and many chronic pain patients often have anxiety and depression. The pathogenic principle and pathogenesis of OA are not clear, and there is no specific drug to reverse joint degeneration. Under such circumstances, how to reduce joint pain and improve the function of the joint of patients has become the main goal of various methods for treating OA.

[0004] In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has made some progress in the treatment of OA. Many clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can improve the symptoms of limited knee joint activity or pain in patients, reduce adverse reactions in patients, and thus improve the quality of life of patients. However, there is still no traditional Chinese medicine preparation with clear efficacy that has successfully entered the clinic or been marketed, providing patients with more drug options.

[0184] Adaptation time: 7 days.

[0185] Animal number method: Each mouse cage is hung with an identity card with information such as project number, experimental group, experimenter's name, animal species, etc. Experimental rats are labeled with tail root lines.

[0186] 2. Environment

[0187] The environment of the animal room is kept at a temperature of 23±2℃, humidity of 40-70%, and 12 hours of light and dark alternation. Animals are housed in cages with 4 animals each, and the bedding (corn cob bedding, Suzhou Gule Laboratory Equipment Co., Ltd.) is changed twice a week.

[0190] 4. Animal selection and fasting

[0191] The animals used for the experiment will maintain a healthy condition, and the animals will be free to eat and drink during the experiment.

[0192] Four, experimental methods

[0193] 1. Animal grouping

[0194] One week after the operation modeling, the animals were randomly divided into 5 groups, 8 in each group.

[0195] Table 3. Animal grouping and drug administration scheme

[0196] Note: The sham operation group and the model group were given solvent normal saline, Qd*2w means once a day, continuous two weeks of drug administration. Duloxetine group, white and 60% ethanol extract group and white and 90% ethanol effective part group were dissolved in deionized water respectively.

[0197] 2. Modeling and methods

[0198] After the experimental animals were adaptively fed, the normal pain threshold of the knee joint of the operation side (right hind limb) of the rats was tested by Von Frey (Up-Down method) and double foot balance tester before modeling. Then the rats were anesthetized with isoflurane, the knee joint was depilated and disinfected. The skin and joint cavity near the right knee were incised, the knee joint was in the maximum flexion state, the joint cavity was exposed, the medial meniscus was separated, the medial 1 / 3 meniscus was removed, and the anterior cruciate ligament was cut. The sham operation group was only incised skin, opened the joint cavity, and then sutured. The modeling day was recorded as D0, and the drug treatment was given by gavage (1 time / day).

[0199] Each group of rats was tested for changes in pain threshold of the knee joint by Von Frey on D7, D14, D21, and the weight bearing of the lower limbs of the rats was detected by double foot balance tester.

[0200] 3. Measurement of mechanical pain threshold

[0201] Measurement by Up-Down method: The rats were placed in a transparent cage cover, the bottom of which was a mesh metal plate, and were allowed to adapt for about 15 minutes until the spontaneous exploration and combing activities stopped. A Von Frey probe was used to vertically stimulate the middle of the plantar of each rat's hind foot, making it slightly s-shaped, for 5 seconds, and the withdrawal reaction of the paw was observed. If the rat immediately produced a rapid withdrawal, leg lifting or foot licking phenomenon after stimulation, it was considered a positive reaction, and immediate withdrawal after the probe was removed was also considered a positive reaction. Each measurement was separated by about 10 seconds, and if there was no reaction after the probe stimulation, it was considered a negative reaction.

[0202] The rat's foot was stimulated with a series of probes (0.4, 0.6, 1, 1.4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 g), and the rat started with a 2 g probe. If a withdrawal reaction occurred, it was recorded as X, and a weaker level of 1.4 g probe was used for testing. If there was no withdrawal reaction, it was recorded as O, and a stronger level of 4 g probe was used for testing. Both of them were continued to be tested in the same way, and each time a continuous sequence of probes was selected, and there could be no skipping. Each response was recorded, and when the first OX or XO occurred, it was tested four more times, so as to obtain a sequence such as OXOXOX. For rats that still did not have a withdrawal reaction using a 15 g probe, the 50% withdrawal threshold was recorded as 15 g; if there was still a withdrawal reaction using a 0.4 g probe, the 50% withdrawal threshold was recorded as 0.4 g. If neither the 15 g nor the 0.4 g probe was used, the following formula was used for calculation: 50% MWT (g) = (10 [Xf+kδ] ) / 10000

[0203] 50% MWT indicates that the rat has about a 50% chance of withdrawal at this intensity of stimulation, Xf = the value of the last Von Frey probe used (in log units). K value: obtained from the table according to the measured sequence. δ is the average difference between the series of stimulations (in log units, here 0.224).

[0204] The pain threshold improvement rate was calculated according to the following formula:

[0205] Pain threshold improvement rate (%) = (50% MWT of the administration group - 50% MWT of the model group) / 50% MWT of the model group x 100%.

[0206] 5. Measurement of bilateral foot balance bearing value

[0207] The animals were placed in a plexiglass cover of a bilateral foot balance pain instrument, and after the animals completed the exploration behavior, the rat's front limbs were placed on the inclined plane of the device, and the hind limbs were placed on the left and right balance plates, respectively. When the animal was basically inactive, the button was pressed, and the average bearing force of the left and right hind limbs within 5 seconds was measured. Each animal was measured repeatedly 3 times, and each measurement was separated by 10 seconds.

[0208] 6. Measurement of inflammation level

[0209] After the last administration, the rats in each group were fasted for 24 h, and 2 ml to 5 mL of blood was taken from each rat into an EP tube, which was then placed at 4°C for 1 h and centrifuged for 10 min (4°C, 4000 r) to obtain the serum. The content of NO and IL-1β in the serum was detected according to the kit instructions.

[0210] V. Results

[0211] 1. General clinical symptoms of rats after administration

[0212] After a single gavage administration of each test substance, all animals showed no visible abnormalities.

[0213] 2. Effects of Bletilla 60% ethanol extract and Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts on the body weight of rats with inflammatory pain induced by pMMX+ACLT

[0214] The results are shown in Table 4 below, which shows that the body weight of animals in each group increased over time after administration of each test substance. There was no significant difference between groups.

[0215] Table 4. Effects of Bletilla 60% ethanol extract and Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts on the body weight of animals in each group (unit: g) (Mean ± SD)

[0216] 3. Effects of Bletilla 60% ethanol extract and Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts on the mechanical pain threshold of rats with knee joint inflammatory pain induced by pMMx+ACLT

[0217] Table 5. Effects of Bletilla 60% ethanol extract and Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts on the mechanical pain threshold of rats with knee joint inflammatory pain induced by pMMx+ACLT Note: ### P<0.001 vs sham operation group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs model group.

[0218] As can be seen from the above table, the pain inhibiting effect of the Bletilla 60% ethanol extract group and the Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts group was better than that of the duloxetine group after 21 days of administration; although the effect of the Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts group was worse than that of the Bletilla 60% ethanol extract group after 7 days of administration (i.e. on the 14th day), it was inferred that although the Bletilla 90% ethanol parts did not act as quickly as the Bletilla 60% extract, it could achieve an effect comparable to that of the Bletilla 60% extract after two weeks of administration.

[0219] Table 6. Effects of Bletilla 60% ethanol extract and Bletilla 90% ethanol effective parts on the mechanical pain threshold of rats with knee joint inflammatory pain induced by pMMx+ACLT

[0220] Results showed that compared with the model group, the pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain was increased by 261.0% and 79.7% on D14 and D21 after administration of 600 mg / kg of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata; the pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain was increased by 121.0% and 79.7% on D14 and D21 after administration of 200 mg / kg of the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata. The pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain was increased by 123.2% and 66.2% on D14 and D21 after administration of 5 mg / kg of the positive drug duloxetine.

[0221] According to the pain threshold-time curve, it was found that the improvement of the mechanical pain threshold by the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata, the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata and the positive drug was enhanced with the increase of the administration times. On D14 and D21, compared with the model group, the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of rats with inflammatory pain caused by pMMX+ACLT was significantly increased in the groups of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata, the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata and duloxetine, and the trend analysis result showed that the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata was superior to duloxetine in improving the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of rats with inflammatory pain caused by pMMX+ACLT.

[0222] 5. The effect of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata and the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata on the difference in the weight-bearing of the hind limbs of rats with inflammatory pain caused by pMMX+ACLT is shown in Table 7.

[0223] Table 7. Effect of administration of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata and the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata on the difference in the weight-bearing of the hind limbs of rats with inflammatory pain of the knee joint caused by pMMX+ACLT Note: ###P<0.001 VS sham operation group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs model group.

[0224] 6. The effect of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata and the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata on the serum inflammatory level of rats with inflammatory pain caused by pMMX+ACLT is shown in Table 8.

[0225] Table 8. Effect of administration of the 60% ethanol extract of Bletilla striata and the 90% ethanol effective fraction of Bletilla striata on the content of serum inflammatory factors of rats with inflammatory pain of the knee joint caused by pMMX+ACLT Note: #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 VS sham operation group; *P<0.05, **P<0.0, vs model group.

[0226] The results show that after the animals are given the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part by gavage, the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum of the rats are significantly improved compared with the model group, and the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part can significantly reduce the content of NO and IL-1β in the serum of the rats.

[0227] VI. CONCLUSION

[0228] In the SD rat model of knee osteoarthritis induced by pMMX (partial meniscectomy) plus ACLT (anterior cruciate ligament transection), after the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part are given, the experimental results show that the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part can significantly improve the mechanical pain threshold of the model animals, and with re-dosing, the improvement of the mechanical pain threshold is enhanced again. At the same time, the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part can significantly reduce the weight-bearing difference of the hind limbs of the model animals. And the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum of the rats and improve the inflammatory state.

[0229] In summary, this embodiment verifies that the test substances (the Bletilla striata 60% ethanol extract and the Bletilla striata 90% ethanol effective part) have good therapeutic effects on the pain and bone joint damage of SD rats with osteoarthritis induced by pMMx (partial meniscectomy) plus ACLT (anterior cruciate ligament transection) by the way of gavage once a day for two consecutive weeks.

[0259] IV. Experimental methods

[0260] 1. Animal grouping:

[0261] One week after surgery modeling, the animals were randomly divided into 4 groups, 8 in each group.

[0262] Table 9. Animal grouping and drug administration scheme

[0263] Note: The sham operation group and the model group were given solvent normal saline, Qd*3w means once a day, continuous three weeks of drug administration. Duloxetine group and Baiji group were dissolved in deionized water respectively.

[0264] 2. Modeling and method

[0265] After the experimental animals were adaptively fed, the normal pain threshold of the knee joint of the operation side (right hind limb) of the rats was tested by Von Frey (Up-Down method) and double foot balance tester before modeling. Then the rats were anesthetized with isoflurane, the knee joint was depilated and disinfected. The skin and joint cavity near the right knee were incised, the knee joint was in the maximum flexion state, the joint cavity was exposed, the medial meniscus was separated, the medial 1 / 3 meniscus was excised, and the anterior cruciate ligament was cut. The sham operation group was only incised skin, opened the joint cavity, and then sutured. The modeling day was recorded as D0, and the drug treatment was given by gavage (1 time / day).

[0266] Each group of rats was tested for changes in pain threshold of the knee joint by Von Frey on D7, D8, D15, D22, and the weight-bearing condition of the lower limbs of the rats was detected by double foot balance tester on D7, D10, D17, D24.

[0267] 3. Measurement of mechanical pain threshold

[0268] Up-Down method was used for measurement: the rats were placed in a transparent cage cover, the bottom was a sieve-shaped metal plate, and the animals were adapted for about 15 min until the spontaneous exploration and combing activity stopped. The Von Frey probe was vertically stimulated in the middle of the sole of each rat, making it slightly s-shaped, for 5s, and the paw withdrawal reaction was observed. The rat immediately produced rapid withdrawal, leg lifting or licking feet after stimulation was considered as positive reaction, and immediate withdrawal after removing the probe was also considered as positive reaction. Each measurement interval was about 10s, and if there was no reaction after probe stimulation, it was considered as negative reaction.

[0269] The rats were stimulated on the plantar surface with a series of probes (0.4, 0.6, 1, 1.4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 g). The rats were started with a 2 g probe, and if a withdrawal response occurred, it was recorded as X, and the next weaker probe, 1.4 g, was used. If no withdrawal response occurred, it was recorded as O, and the next stronger probe, 4 g, was used. The same procedure was followed for each subsequent test, using consecutive probes in the series, and no skipping of probes was allowed. The responses were recorded for each test, and when the first OX or XO occurred, the test was repeated four more times, and a series was obtained, such as OXOXOX. For rats that did not show a withdrawal response using the 15 g probe, the 50% withdrawal threshold was recorded as 15 g. If a withdrawal response occurred using the 0.4 g probe, the 50% withdrawal threshold was recorded as 0.4 g. For rats that did not use the 15 g or 0.4 g probe, the 50% withdrawal threshold was calculated according to the following formula: 50% MWT (g) = (10 [Xf+kδ] ) / 10000

[0270] 50% MWT indicates that the rats had approximately a 50% chance of withdrawal at that intensity of stimulation, Xf = the value of the last Von Frey probe used (in log units). K value: obtained from a table according to the sequence measured. Delta is the average difference between consecutive stimuli (in log units, here 0.224).

[0271] The pain threshold increase was calculated according to the following formula:

[0272] Pain threshold increase (%) = (50% MWT of the treatment group - 50% MWT of the model group) / 50% MWT of the model group x 100%.

[0273] 5. Measurement of bilateral balance weight-bearing value

[0274] The animals were placed in the plexiglass cover of the bilateral balance pain instrument, and after the animals completed the exploration behavior, the forelimbs of the rats were placed on the inclined surface of the device, and the hind limbs were placed on the left and right balance plates, respectively. When the animals were basically inactive, the button was pressed, and the average bearing force of the left and right hind limbs within 5 seconds was measured. Each animal was measured repeatedly for 3 times, and the interval between each measurement was 10 seconds.

[0275] V. Results

[0276] 1. Observation of general clinical symptoms of rats after administration

[0280] Table 11. Effects of Bailingoside on the improvement rate of pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain induced by pMMX+ACLT

[0281] The results showed that compared with the model group, the pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain was increased by 94.9%, 130.4% and 135.7% on D8, D15 and D22 after administration of 50 mg / kg of Bailingoside. The pain threshold of rats with inflammatory pain was increased by 57.8%, 89.5% and 55.9% on D14 and D21 after administration of 5 mg / kg of duloxetine.

[0282] According to the pain threshold-time curve, it was found that the improvement of mechanical pain threshold by Bailingoside and positive drugs was enhanced with the increase of administration times. On D8, D15 and D22, the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of SD rats with inflammatory pain induced by pMMX+ACLT was significantly improved in the Bailingoside and duloxetine groups compared with the model group. Trend analysis showed that Bailingoside was superior to duloxetine in improving the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of SD rats with inflammatory pain induced by pMMX+ACLT.

[0285] The results showed that compared with the model group, the difference in weight bearing of both hind limbs of rats with inflammatory pain of knee joint was significantly improved on D10, D17 and D24 after administration of Bailingoside, and Bailingoside could significantly reduce the difference in weight bearing of both hind limbs of model animals.

[0286] Six. Conclusion

[0287] In the model of SD rats with inflammatory pain of knee joint induced by pMMX (partial meniscectomy) plus ACLT (anterior cruciate ligament transection), the results showed that Bailingoside could significantly improve the mechanical pain threshold of model animals, and the improvement of mechanical pain threshold was enhanced again with re-administration. At the same time, Bailingoside could significantly reduce the difference in weight bearing of both hind limbs of model animals.

[0288] In summary, the present example demonstrates that the test substance (albusin) has a good therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis pain and bone and joint damage in SD rats induced by partial meniscectomy combined with anterior cruciate ligament transection (pMMx+ACLT) through once-daily, three-week gavage administration of the test substance.
