[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art. However, it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations utilizing the concepts of the present invention are protected.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment discloses a method for preparing the polyphenol extract of the fruit of Phellodendron amurense.

[0029] To 500 g of Phellodendron amurense fruit powder, 40-fold the amount of 50% ethanol was added in portions. Ultrasonic extraction was performed at 60°C for 75 min, and the filtrates were filtered and combined. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator to remove most of the solvent and then freeze-dried in a freeze-dryer to obtain a crude Phellodendron amurense fruit extract. A glass chromatography column was fixed with absorbent cotton at the bottom end and loaded with an appropriate amount of ethanol-activated macroporous adsorption resin D101. The column was washed with distilled water until no ethanol and no bubbles were present. Degreased cotton was added to the top end. An aqueous solution of the crude Phellodendron amurense fruit extract with a polyphenol concentration of 1.0 mg / mL was slowly poured into the chromatography column. The column was eluted sequentially with pure water and 50% ethanol. The 50% ethanol eluate was collected, the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator, and the column was freeze-dried in a freeze-dryer to obtain approximately 6 g of Phellodendron amurense fruit polyphenol extract, designated PSF-p.

[0030] Test Example 1

[0031] This Test Example 1 discloses a pharmacodynamic study of a polyphenol extract from the fruit of Phellodendron amurense.

[0032] 1. Preparation of Pharmacodynamic Sample Solutions

[0033] (1) Preparation of polyphenol extract from Phellodendron amurense fruit: According to the method of Example 1, the 50% ethanol eluate of the macroporous resin was collected, concentrated and dried, and 0.5% CMC-Na solution was added to prepare high, medium and low dose groups of suspension.

[0034] (2) Preparation of positive drugs: Grind the bifendate tablets into powder, weigh an appropriate amount of powder, and add 0.5% CMC_Na solution to make a suspension.

[0035] (3) Preparation of APAP solution: Grind the bifendate tablets into powder, weigh an appropriate amount of powder, and add 0.5% CMC-Na solution to prepare a suspension.

[0036] 2. Animal Grouping, Modeling, and Drug Administration

[0037] Forty-eight male Kunming mice, weighing 20±2 g, were randomly divided into six groups (n=8): control, model, bifendate (150 mg / kg), and high-, medium-, and low-dose groups (400, 200, and 100 mg / kg) of polyphenol extract from the fruit of Phellodendron amurense. Each treatment group received the corresponding drug (10 mL / kg) intragastrically. The normal and model groups received an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution intragastrically once daily for 7 consecutive days. The mice were fasted for 12 hours before the last dose. Two hours later, all groups, except the model group, were orally administered with APAP at a dose of 500 mg / kg to induce acute liver injury. The mice were fasted for 16 hours with or without water deprivation, and serum and liver samples were collected.

[0038] 3. Sample Collection and Processing

[0039] (1) Serum sample: Blood was collected from the mouse eyeball and allowed to stand for 2 h. The blood was centrifuged at 3500 r / min for 10 min to separate the serum and stored at 4°C.

[0040] (2) Liver tissue samples: After the mice were killed, the livers were quickly dissected and removed. Blood and other residues on the surface of the livers were repeatedly rinsed with physiological saline. After absorbing water with filter paper, the livers were weighed and the liver tissues at the same location were cut. Physiological saline was added at a weight to volume ratio of 1:9. Liver tissue homogenates were prepared using a mechanical homogenizer in an ice-water bath. The livers were then centrifuged at 2000 r / min for 15 min. The supernatant was aspirated to obtain a 10% liver tissue homogenate sample. The 10% liver tissue homogenate sample was taken and physiological saline was added at a volume ratio of 1:9 to obtain a 1% liver tissue homogenate sample.

[0041] (3) Liver pathological tissue sections: Liver tissues were cut from the same location in each group and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution. The samples were then routinely paraffin-embedded, sectioned, and stained with HE for histopathological examination.

[0042] (4) The determination of serum biochemical indicators AST and ALT and liver tissue biochemical indicators MDA and SOD were performed according to the detailed steps of the kit and measured using an enzyme-labeled instrument.

[0043] 4. Data Processing

[0044] The data were expressed as mean ± S, and SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the sample means among multiple groups.

[0045] 5. Results

[0046] 5.1 Biochemical index results

[0047] According to the specific requirements of the kit, the biochemical parameters to be tested in mice were measured and analyzed using SPSS software. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0052] Compared with the model group, the ALT concentrations in the serum of the positive drug and extract high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups were significantly reduced ( P <0.01), which was statistically significant. Compared with the model group, the serum AST concentrations in the high-dose and medium-dose groups of the positive drug and extract were significantly reduced ( P <0.01), the serum AST concentration in the low-dose extract group was significantly reduced ( P <0.05), which was statistically significant. Compared with the model group, the MDA concentration in the liver tissue homogenate of the positive drug and extract high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups was significantly reduced ( P <0.01), which was statistically significant. Compared with the model group, the SOD concentration in the liver tissue homogenate of the high-dose extract group was significantly reduced ( P <0.01), the SOD concentration in liver tissue homogenate of the positive drug and extract medium dose groups was significantly decreased ( P <0.05), which is statistically significant.

[0053] 5.2 Pathological section results

[0054] Pathological section results Figure 1 As shown, the liver tissue capsule of the control group was intact, the hepatic lobules were not clearly divided, and the hepatic cords were arranged relatively neatly. The central vein endothelium was intact, and the hepatocytes were arranged radially around the central vein with normal morphology, without obvious degeneration and necrosis. The hepatic sinusoidal structure was normal, without obvious congestion, dilation, or inflammatory infiltration. The interlobular arteries, interlobular veins, and interlobular bile ducts in the portal area were relatively intact, without obvious fibrous tissue proliferation or inflammatory cell infiltration around them. No other obvious pathological changes were observed. In the model group, a large number of hepatocytes around the central veins of the hepatic lobules of the mice were degenerated and necrotic, with blurred hepatocyte structure, pyknosis, fragmentation and lysis of the nuclei, obstruction of the hepatic sinusoids in the necrotic area, dilation of the hepatic sinusoids in the periphery, and a large number of red blood cells were observed, without obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group, the pathological changes in the liver tissue of the positive, high, medium, and low-dose drug groups were alleviated to varying degrees.
