Description

A compound drug for treating trichomoniasis in pigeons, its preparation method, and the drug itself. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically relating to a compound medicine for treating trichomoniasis in pigeons, its preparation method, and the medicine itself. Background Technology

[0002] Trichomoniasis, also known as oral ulcers or "pigeon scabies," is a common pigeon disease caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. The main route of infection is oral, where large numbers of parasites accumulate in the oral ulcer lesions and saliva. Adult pigeons are directly infected through kissing or feeding young pigeons with crop milk, and can also be infected through drinking water and wounds. Approximately 80% of pigeons are carriers. Adult pigeons show few symptoms, while young pigeons exhibit prominent symptoms. Young pigeons are usually infected upon first consuming pigeon milk from the crop of a young pigeon and remain carriers for life. Before developing sufficient immunity, the mortality rate after infection with highly virulent strains can reach 50%. Trichomoniasis in pigeons is not localized to one location. Therefore, depending on the location of the parasite damage, pigeon trichomoniasis is classified into three types: pharyngeal, visceral, and umbilical. (1) Pharyngeal type: This is the most common and most harmful type. Affected pigeons often experience difficulty swallowing and breathing due to oral damage. They become depressed, have disordered digestion, ruffled feathers, become emaciated, have reduced appetite and increased thirst, and excrete yellow-green watery feces. Young pigeons often present with acute symptoms and die from respiratory distress within a short period of time. (2) Visceral type: This is a further development of other types of disease. Affected pigeons are lethargic, have poor appetite, ruffled feathers, increased water intake, yellow-green mucous diarrhea, progressive emaciation, and collapse. If the respiratory tract is damaged, the affected pigeon will have symptoms such as open mouth or neck stretching posture, coughing, and panting when breathing. If the intestines are infected (intestinal type), the affected pigeon will refuse to eat, have ruffled feathers, tremble, and excrete pale yellow pasty feces. They are very likely to become emaciated or even die quickly. (3) Umbilical type: This is caused by infection of the navel of young pigeons. Affected pigeons are lethargic, have a poor appetite, ruffled feathers, become emaciated, stand listlessly to one side, and have redness and inflammation of the navel area, and are unwilling to lie down. At present, the treatment of trichomoniasis in pigeons still widely uses banned drugs such as metronidazole, which not only causes a large number of trichomoniasis to develop metronidazole resistance, making it impossible to cure, but also drug residues will cause huge food safety risks.

[0003] Sophora flavescens (scientific name: *Sophora flavescens*) is a common herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Sophora* in the legume family. Also known as Huangtengmu or Huanglancao, it is widely distributed in many parts of Asia, including China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and Southeast Asia. Sophora flavescens is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its roots and bark are rich in bioactive chemical components with various medicinal values. The most important components are flavonoids, including matrine and matrine, which possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor activities. In TCM, Sophora flavescens is used for clearing heat and detoxifying, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, reducing swelling and relieving itching. It is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, acne, pruritus, and prickly heat. Furthermore, it is also used to treat hepatitis, nephritis, and ulcerative colitis. Phellodendron amurense, commonly known as Huangbai, is a common traditional Chinese medicine. Belonging to the Zanthoxylum family, it is a deciduous tree primarily found in Northeast China and the Russian Far East, but also widely cultivated elsewhere, including Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The bark, typically harvested in autumn, is the main medicinal part. It is yellowish-brown and rich in flavonoids, alkaloids, and bitter components. The bark also contains various active ingredients such as mandelic acid, flavonoid glycosides, and alkaloids. Widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, Huangbai possesses diverse pharmacological activities and medicinal value, serving as a medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer purposes. It can treat symptoms such as colds, fever, and oral ulcers, and is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat hepatitis, gastritis, and ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, Huangbai has certain antibacterial properties, inhibiting various bacteria and fungi, and is used in the preparation of antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agents.

[0047] Experimental example:

[0048] The test subjects were white-feathered king pigeons, weighing 400-700g each. The laboratory temperature was 20-22℃, with ventilation fans and natural light for 12 hours per day. They were caged, with one pair of white pigeons (one male and one female) per cage. The cages were cleaned every three days.

[0049] 1. Effects on isolated pigeon trichomonads

[0050] Trichomonas vaginalis was collected from the upper respiratory tract of diseased pigeons using a swab. The collected samples were then transferred to a medium consisting of 4.5 mL TYM basal medium, 0.5 mL fetal bovine serum, 25 μL penicillin, 25 μL streptomycin, and 5 μL chloramphenicol. The medium was incubated at 37°C, with daily changes. The pigeons were then passaged to the logarithmic growth phase, and the concentration of Trichomonas vaginalis was diluted to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 The number of cells / mL was divided into four equal portions for the experiment. The same volume of 300 mg / mL Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense aqueous extract (comparative example), 0.1 wt% copper sulfate, and a mixture of 300 mg / mL Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense aqueous extract + 0.1 wt% copper sulfate (the compound preparation obtained in Example 1) were added to the *Trichomonas peltatum* solution to administer the isolated *Trichomonas peltatum*. The positive control group was 100 μM metronidazole. The activity of *Trichomonas peltatum* was continuously observed under an optical microscope. The experimental results are shown in Figure 1.

[0051] Experimental results showed that metronidazole required 12 hours to completely kill Trichomonas vaginalis (reducing the number of Trichomonas vaginalis by 100%). The complete killing time required by 300 mg / mL Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense aqueous extract (SACC), 0.1 wt% copper sulfate (CS), and the mixture of 300 mg / mL SACC and 0.1 wt% CS (the compound preparation prepared in Example 1) was shorter than that of metronidazole. The time required for 300 mg / mL SACC was 6 hours, the time required for 0.1% CS was 2 hours, and the time required for the compound preparation was only 1 hour. This indicates that the mixture of Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense aqueous extract and copper sulfate has a significant killing effect on isolated Trichomonas vaginalis.

[0052] 2. Effects on in vivo pigeon trichomonas

[0053] Trichomonas vaginalis was collected from the upper respiratory tract of diseased pigeons using swabs soaked in PBS. The collected pigeon trichomoniasis were counted using a live cell counter, and the initial number of pigeon trichomoniasis was found to be 3.47 × 10⁻⁶. 6 The concentration of Trichomonas vaginalis was measured per mL. Then, 100 mL of the compound preparation from Example 1 was administered to pigeons via free drinking water. Every 24 hours, swabs soaked in PBS were used to collect Trichomonas vaginalis from the upper respiratory tract of the sick pigeons. The samples were examined under an optical microscope and counted using a live cell counter. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2.

[0054] The results showed that, 24 hours after administration of the compound agent prepared in Example 1, no Trichomonas vaginalis was detected in the diseased pigeons, indicating that the Trichomonas vaginalis in the pigeons had been completely killed; 48 hours after administration, no Trichomonas vaginalis was detected in the diseased pigeons, indicating that the Trichomonas vaginalis did not recur after being killed and there was no drug resistance. This shows that the compound agent prepared in this invention can rapidly, significantly and effectively treat trichomoniasis in pigeons.
