[0054] In order to better illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following embodiments are given, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Preparation method 1 of cocrystal of rhein and sophocarpine:

[0057] Weigh a sample of rhein and sophocarpine in a molar ratio of 1:1, put it into a mortar, add an appropriate amount of organic solvent, grind it for a certain time, grind it until the solvent evaporates, place it in an oven at 80-100°C for a certain time, and perform powder X-ray diffraction analysis on it.

[0060] Weigh a sample of rhein and sophocarpine in a molar ratio of 1:1, put it into a ball mill, add an appropriate amount of organic solvent, select an appropriate ball-to-material ratio, set an appropriate speed, grind for an appropriate time, and place it in an oven at 80-100°C to dry for a certain period of time. Perform powder X-ray diffraction analysis on it, and its diffraction pattern is consistent with Figure 1 The obtained sample is a cocrystal of rhein and sophocarpine. The details are shown in Table 4:

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] Preparation method 3 of rhein and sophocarpine cocrystal:

[0064] Weigh an appropriate amount of rhein, put it into a clean container, add an appropriate amount of organic solvent, stir it at 25-30°C, and then slowly add sophocarpine at a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to the reaction bottle.

[0065]

[0066] Example 2

[0067] The solubility characteristics of rhein, rhein and sophocarpine cocrystals, and rhein and arginine cocrystals (rhein) in pure water systems were investigated. The dissolution curves were compared using the model-independent similarity factor (f2) method in accordance with the "Technical Guidelines for Dissolution Tests of Ordinary Oral Solid Preparations". The similarity of the dissolution curves of rhein and sophocarpine cocrystals, rhein and arginine cocrystals, and rhein API in pure water at pH = 7.0 was compared by calculating the f2 value. When f2 is higher than 50, the two curves are considered similar, and when f2 is lower than 50, it is considered that there is a difference between the two. The experiment used rhein API as a reference to calculate the model-independent similarity factor f2 value. The content of rhein was determined by HPLC at a wavelength of 254 nm, and its dissolved amount was calculated by the external standard method. The dissolution curves were plotted with time as the horizontal axis and the percentage of dissolved content as the vertical axis ( Figure 6 ). The specific data are shown in Table 6:

[0068] Table 6 Dissolution curve data of rhein eutectic and rhein in pure water

[0069]

[0070] It can be seen from the in vitro dissolution data that, compared with the raw material of rhein, the solubility of the rhein and sophocarpine cocrystal disclosed in the present invention in the pure water system is increased by nearly 55 times, and the dissolution rate is also significantly improved, which is easy to be absorbed more quickly to reach an effective blood drug concentration, and can better achieve the disease treatment effect of the drug.

[0071] In addition, compared with the reported rhein-arginine cocrystal, the water solubility of the rhein-sophorocarpine cocrystal was increased by about 10 times ( Figure 6 ). Therefore, the preparation process of the cocrystal of rhein and sophocarpine adopted in the present invention has greatly improved the technical problem of poor water solubility of rhein, and the production process is simple, which is conducive to mass production, and provides technical support for the subsequent research and development of rhein.
