Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a medicine composition for preventing and treating viral respiratory infections and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Viral Respiratory Infections (VRI) is a common clinical disease, often with epidemic and outbreak, high incidence, and a large number of patients. VRI can be caused by a variety of respiratory viruses, which invade the respiratory tract as the portal of entry, proliferate in the respiratory mucosa epithelial cells, and cause local infection of the respiratory tract or lesions of tissues and organs other than the respiratory tract; the invasion of the upper respiratory tract can cause diseases such as pharyngolaryngitis and sinusitis, and the invasion of the lower respiratory tract can cause pulmonary infectious diseases, such as respiratory virus pneumonia. Common respiratory viruses include influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, coronavirus, and some enteroviruses such as coxsackie virus and echovirus, as well as herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, rubella virus, measles virus, etc., and infants and young children often develop pneumonia due to respiratory syncytial virus infection. In addition, some enteroviruses such as coxsackie virus and echovirus can also cause pneumonia symptoms through respiratory infection; they pose a threat to the health of patients and have a certain degree of harm to agricultural and industrial production.

[0003] At present, the treatment of VRI is mainly supportive treatment, and high-risk groups are supplemented with antiviral drug treatment. Common broad-spectrum antiviral drugs include interferon (mainly used for respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, herpes virus, etc.), ribavirin (often used in combination with oseltamivir, etc.), and arbidol (mainly used for influenza A and B virus, new coronavirus, etc.), but such antiviral drugs have the problem of resistance to respiratory viruses, and can cause serious side effects.

[0004] Compared with western medicine antiviral drugs, traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages such as small side effects and less drug resistance, and has gained more and more attention. Respiratory viral infectious diseases belong to the "cold", "cough", "asthma" and "asthma" in traditional Chinese medicine. Although there are currently few reports of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating viral respiratory infections, the effect is still poor. For example, the Chinese patent application CN106421314A discloses a pharmaceutical composition for treating viral respiratory infections, which is made of ten kinds of drugs such as perilla leaf, ginger magnolia, schizonepeta, purple wood, apricot kernel, fried perilla seed, rhizoma anemarrhena, zhebei, arctium lappa and licorice. The effective rate of improving clinical symptoms such as internal fever, cough, expectoration, hoarseness, sore throat, adverse qi and rapid breathing is less than 80%. The commercially available anti-viral granules (Z20010127) of Lishu Pharmaceutical Sichuan Guangda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. are mainly composed of: radix isatidis, forsythia, gypsum, rhizoma anemarrhena, radix ophiopogonis, radix rehmanniae, pachystachys jamaicensis, rhizoma acori graminei, and radix curcumae. The auxiliary materials are dextrin, sodium cyclohexylsulfamate, pachystachys jamaicensis oil, menthol oil and angelica dahurica tincture; have the effects of clearing heat and removing dampness, cooling blood and detoxifying, and can be used for treating wind-heat cold, upper respiratory tract infection and influenza, but the therapeutic effect on upper respiratory tract infection needs to be further enhanced.

[0005] In order to further expand the application of traditional Chinese medicine and provide more clinical options for the treatment of viral respiratory infections, it is necessary to further study traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions with excellent effects. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating viral respiratory infections.

[0011] Further, the above-mentioned licorice is raw licorice; the radix bupleuri is bamboo-leaf radix bupleuri; the malt is roasted malt; and the radix aucklandiae is Sichuan radix aucklandiae.

[0012] Further, the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition is a preparation prepared by adding pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants to the raw drug powder, water and / or organic solvent extract of the raw drug as the active ingredient.

[0013] Further, the above-mentioned preparation is an oral preparation, preferably, the oral preparation is: a decoction, an oral liquid, a granule, a tablet, a pill, a capsule, a decocted extract or a syrup; the tablet includes: a compressed tablet, a chewable tablet, an effervescent tablet, a coated tablet or a buccal tablet; the pill includes a water-flooding pill, a honeyed pill or a dripping pill.

[0014] The present application also provides the use of the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a medicine for preventing and treating viral respiratory infections.

[0015] Further, the above-mentioned medicine is a medicine for preventing and treating cough, expectoration, chest tightness, throat itching, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, ear itching and / or ear pain caused by viral respiratory infections.

[0016] The present application has the following beneficial effects: In the present application, Gualoupi clears heat phlegm and benefits qi to relieve chest tightness; Xingren reduces qi to stop cough and relieve asthma; Rizengxiang promotes lung and relieves phlegm; Shenggancao eliminates phlegm and stops cough; Jingjie and Fangfeng dispel wind-evil from the body surface; Houpao dries dampness to eliminate phlegm and lower qi to relieve asthma; Huangqi purges fire and detoxifies; Zhuyechai dispels pathogenic factors from the exterior and harmonizes the interior; Cang'erzi and Baizhi dispel wind-cold and open the nasal orifice; Chao Maiya promotes digestion and prevents food accumulation, which leads to lung and spleen deficiency and prolonged illness; Chuanmuxiang promotes qi and stops pain. The whole prescription has the effects of dispelling pathogenic factors from the body surface, promoting lung and eliminating phlegm, promoting qi and stopping pain. It has obvious improvement effects on cough, expectoration, chest tightness, throat itching or sore throat, nasal congestion or runny nose, ear itching or pain caused by viral respiratory infections, has small toxic and side effects, and has clinical application value.

[0017] The relationship between the monarch, the minister, the assistant and the messenger is as follows:

[0018] Monarch: Gualoupi is the monarch drug, which clears heat phlegm and benefits qi to relieve chest tightness;

[0019] Minister: Xingren, Rizengxiang, Shenggancao, Jingjie, Fangfeng, Huangqi, Cang'erzi, Baizhi and Chuanmuxiang are the minister drugs.

[0020] Assistant: Houpao and Chao Maiya are the assistant drugs. Houpao dries dampness to eliminate phlegm and lower qi to relieve asthma, which assists the monarch and minister drugs to enhance the therapeutic effect; Chao Maiya promotes digestion and prevents food accumulation, which leads to lung and spleen deficiency and prolonged illness, and also enhances the therapeutic effect of the monarch and minister drugs.

[0021] Messenger: Zhuyechai is the messenger drug, which dispels pathogenic factors from the exterior and harmonizes the interior, and can lead the other drugs in the prescription to the disease site.

[0022] Obviously, according to the above content of the present application, according to the ordinary technical knowledge and means in the art, other various forms of modification, replacement or change can be made without departing from the above basic technical idea of the present application.
