Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and specifically discloses a new traditional Chinese medicine composition for preventing and treating metabolic syndrome, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metabolic syndrome (MS) is also called X syndrome and insulin resistance syndrome, which refers to a series of metabolic and physiological disorders related to insulin resistance (IR) and serving as risk factors of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, including central obesity, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver, and microalbuminuria. The MS is further expanded to include hyperuricemia, blood coagulation and fibrinolysis abnormalities, endothelial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory state, neuroendocrine abnormalities, and hyperleptinemia. In recent years, the MS has become a hot spot of worldwide medical research.

[0003] MS patients are a high-risk group of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At present, the prevention and treatment goal of metabolic syndrome in the clinic is to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, and to control and delay secondary organ damage caused by metabolic disorders. The clinical treatment of Western medicine mainly aims at each component such as diabetes or impaired glucose regulation, hypertension, lipid disorder and obesity, and the drug treatment such as the use of hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs and lipid-lowering drugs. For patients who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, anti-platelet therapy needs to be increased, and for chronic complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease that occur with the growth of the disease course, the corresponding drugs need to be further increased. Under the guidance of the overall concept and treatment based on syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has certain effect in preventing and treating metabolic syndrome. According to the clinical symptoms, it can be classified into the categories of obesity, fatness, dampness obstruction, diabetes and dizziness in traditional Chinese medicine. Referring to the Metabolic Syndrome Disease Syndrome Combination Diagnosis and Treatment Guide, the guide recommends several traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and Chinese patent medicines, which are various in types.

[0004] At present, the high-risk population of metabolic syndrome includes: ① persons over 40 years old; ② persons with one or two components of metabolic syndrome but not meeting the diagnostic criteria; ③ persons with cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver, gout, polycystic ovary syndrome and various types of fat atrophy; ④ persons with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, especially multiple combinations or family history of metabolic syndrome; and ⑤ persons with family history of cardiovascular diseases. The previous clinical research shows that metabolic syndrome significantly increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, gout and other metabolic diseases.

[0005] There is no exact traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of metabolic syndrome at present, and Western medicine treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In China, the traditional Chinese medicines for treating the disease include:

[0006] Chinese patent CN 108066650 B discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition with therapeutic effect on metabolic syndrome and its preparation method and application. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from 15-45 parts of radix pseudostellariae, 15-45 parts of radix ophiopogonis, 10-30 parts of radix salviae miltiorrhizae, 10-30 parts of sophora flower, 10-30 parts of honeysuckle flower, 10-30 parts of imperata cylindrical root, 10-30 parts of radix raphani. The medicine can correct the glucose and lipid metabolism disorder of patients with metabolic syndrome, and has the effects of reducing blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure, and improving insulin resistance. However, it does not elaborate on the phlegm-heat and blood stasis type according to TCM differentiation.

[0007] Chinese patent CN 115381906 B belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and specifically discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating metabolic syndrome and a preparation method and application thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 3-50 parts of angelica, 15-120 parts of money grass, 25-50 parts of imperata cylindrical root, 3-50 parts of cassia senna, and 3-50 parts of roasted hawthorn. Only 5 kinds of medicinal materials are contained, and the dosage is not clear enough in terms of monarch, minister, assistant and guide. SUMMARY

[0008] Western medicine treatment of metabolic syndrome uses different drugs for different components, resulting in multiple types of drugs, long medication period, high risk of adverse reactions, the need for persistent monitoring of blood indicators, poor patient compliance, and difficulty in curing. According to the Metabolic Syndrome Disease Syndrome Combination Diagnosis and Treatment Guide, most of the recommendations are disease-specific prescriptions for different clinical manifestations of MS. The clinical manifestations of this disease are diverse, and the pathogenesis is complex, making it difficult to comprehensively regulate and slow to take effect.

[0009] Therefore, the present application provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition, and the specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0012] Further, in the most preferred embodiment of the present application, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is made from the following raw materials in the following weight proportions: 24 parts by weight of Poria cocos, 12 parts by weight of Fructus aurantii, 9 parts by weight of Rhizoma Pinelliae praeparatum, 12 parts by weight of Bulbus Allii Macrostemonis, 9 parts by weight of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, 9 parts by weight of Semen Armeniacae Amarum, 12 parts by weight of Radix Platycodi, 18 parts by weight of Spatholobus suberectus, 15 parts by weight of Kujin, 30 parts by weight of Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, 9 parts by weight of Pheretima, and 3 parts by weight of Radix Glycyrrhizae.

[0013] A second object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the medicine having the effect of treating metabolic syndrome, comprising the following steps:

[0014] The Poria cocos, Fructus aurantii, Rhizoma Pinelliae praeparatum, Radix Platycodi, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Bulbus Allii Macrostemonis, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Spatholobus suberectus, Kujin, Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, Pheretima, and Radix Glycyrrhizae are taken in the weight proportions, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are soaked for 30-40 minutes before decoction. The decoction is prepared with normal water, and each dose of medicine is decocted twice, with 500 ml of water added each time, and decocted for 15-20 minutes. The filtrate is concentrated to 100 ml, and the combined decoction is obtained.

[0015] For the purpose of taking, transportation, commercialization, or other reasons, the extract of the traditional Chinese medicine composition and the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are prepared into oral liquid, granules, capsules, or tablets.

[0016] Further, the preparation of the clinically acceptable dosage form of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0017] (1) The Poria cocos, Fructus aurantii, Rhizoma Pinelliae praeparatum, Radix Platycodi, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Bulbus Allii Macrostemonis, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Spatholobus suberectus, Kujin, Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, Pheretima, and Radix Glycyrrhizae are taken in the weight proportions, and the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are soaked for 30-40 minutes before decoction. The decoction is prepared with normal water, and each dose of medicine is decocted twice, with 500 ml of water added each time, and decocted for 15-20 minutes. The filtrate is concentrated to 100 ml, and the combined decoction is obtained.

[0018] (2) The concentrated liquid of step (1) is concentrated into extract and mixed with conventional excipients to prepare oral liquid, granules, capsules, or tablets.

[0019] For the purpose of use, it is found through pharmacological and pharmacodynamic experiments that the traditional Chinese medicine composition has the effects of treating and preventing metabolic syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis, treating and preventing metabolic syndrome combined with diabetes, treating and preventing metabolic syndrome combined with hyperlipidemia, treating and preventing metabolic syndrome combined with hypertension, and treating and preventing metabolic syndrome combined with uric acid.

[0020] The application has a complete monarch, minister, and assistant, and discusses the mechanism as follows: the origin of phlegm is water, and the movement of phlegm is dampness. Spleen deficiency and internal generation of phlegm dampness are the core pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Based on the theory of "transporting and transforming the middle energizer and regulating the triple energizer", the recipe uses tuckahoe as a phlegm treatment drug, which enters the lung and spleen meridians, strengthens the spleen to treat the root, and penetrates dampness to control the movement. The monarch drug is mild in flavor and has the effect of descending with ascending. When the damp phlegm is formed, it blocks the qi movement. The orange red is bitter, warm and dry, which can regulate qi and remove stagnation, dry dampness and phlegm. It is used to treat phlegm by treating qi first, and phlegm disappears when qi is smooth. The clear pinellia is pungent, warm and dry, which can dry dampness and phlegm, descend adverse qi and harmonize the stomach, and disperse and resolve phlegm. It is combined with the orange red to remove phlegm and fluid in the middle energizer, and is combined with tuckahoe to reflect the theory of "dry dampness and penetrate dampness to prevent the generation of phlegm" by Zhu Danxi. The pinellia is pungent and dispersing, which can ventilate lung qi, remove phlegm and pus, clear the throat, lift water, open the chest and diaphragm, carry the medicine upward, and reach the upper energizer. The apricot kernel enters the lung and large intestine, and has the effects of bitter and descending qi, removing phlegm and resolving phlegm, moistening the intestine and defecating. It is combined with the pinellia to ascend and descend, and is connected from top to bottom. The allium is pungent and warm, which can open the chest and remove phlegm, and is the best to resolve phlegm. The bitter orange is pungent and bitter, which can break qi and remove phlegm, regulate qi and resolve distension, and is good at stopping qi stagnation pain. It is combined with the allium to coordinate yin and yang, remove stagnation and resolve phlegm. The six drugs are all minister drugs. When the disease is prolonged and delayed, the spleen yang is damaged, the qi and blood essence are not generated, the kidney qi is damaged, and the euonymus alatus can supplement the kidney qi and generate yin and yang, and maintain the whole body. The poria cocos is specially used in the lower energizer, and is used in the kidney and bladder meridians. The alpinia oxyphylla is used in the spleen, stomach, lung and large intestine meridians, and can dry dampness and clear gold, and drain water and remove dampness. The three drugs can generate gold and water, and the spleen is healthy and light when the dampness is removed, and the lung is strong and the qi is improved when the gold is clear.

[0021] The recipe is based on the theory of "transporting and transforming the middle energizer and regulating the triple energizer", and focuses on strengthening the spleen, removing phlegm, ventilating lung qi, and tonifying the kidney and dredging the collaterals to transport and transform the middle energizer and regulate the qi movement of the triple energizer. The main pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome patients is phlegm dampness blocking the middle energizer, and the recipe has good effects of removing phlegm, transporting the middle energizer and regulating the triple energizer. The recipe is in line with the compatibility principle of traditional Chinese medicine, and has small dosage, safety, no toxicity, no compatibility contraindication, no dietary contraindication, convenient dosage form, exact curative effect, and is suitable for long-term use of patients. One treatment cycle is 14 days, and generally 4 treatment courses are taken.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the traditional Chinese medicine composition has the following advantages:

[0023] The formula of the present application has remarkable curative effect on metabolic syndrome, including hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension; the medicinal herbs in the formula of the present application are mild and gentle, avoiding the adverse effects caused by excessive dryness and pungency; all the components in the formula of the present application are natural components without any hormone components, and are more easily absorbed by human bodies, and do not cause burden to liver and kidney; the formula of the present application mainly regulates the spleen and eliminates phlegm, and thus can be flexibly added or subtracted according to different pathogenesis of patients, and can enhance the efficacy according to the principle of regulating qi and meridians, and does not damage the healthy qi of the body.

[0071] 1.2 Construction of rat metabolic syndrome model and grouping of administration

[0072] The animals were raised in a standard controlled environment with a temperature of 22-24°C, humidity of 55%, good ventilation, and a light / dark cycle of 12 h. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term intake of the decoctions of Examples 1-3 on glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and blood pressure.

[0073] After 1 week of adaptive feeding, 72 rats were randomly divided into 9 groups, and the experimental design was as follows: blank control group (hereinafter referred to as blank group, n=8), metabolic syndrome model group (hereinafter referred to as model group, n=8), Example 1 group (n=8), Example 2 group (n=8), Example 3 group (n=8), Comparative Example 1 group (n=8), Comparative Example 2 group (n=8), Comparative Example 3 group (n=8), and Comparative Example 4 group (n=8).

[0074] Administration method: intragastrically administered 1.5 mL / 100 g of each example decoction, and the blank group and model group were intragastrically administered 0.9% normal saline 1.5 mL / 100 g once a day at 9 am.

[0075] Modeling: 10% (volume fraction) fructose solution was used to replace drinking water for the model group and each example group of rats to drink freely, and a metabolic syndrome model was established for 10 weeks. Body weight and fasting blood glucose were measured every 2 weeks, and the experiment was completed after 10 weeks. After 10 weeks, the model group of rats were obese, slow-moving, depressed, and irritable, indicating that the modeling was successful. The activity of the Example 1-3 groups was strong, the mental state was good, and they were not easily agitated, indicating that the composition of the present application could significantly improve the morphological and mental state changes caused by fructose in rats.

[0112] Excluded from the patient population by one of the above.

[0113] 2.5 Western medicine disease efficacy criteria

[0114] Cure: the observation index after treatment decreased by ≥35% compared to before;

[0115] Marked effect: the observation index after treatment decreased by ≥20% but <35% compared to before;

[0116] Effective: the observation index after treatment decreased by ≥10 but <20% compared to before,

[0117] Ineffective: the observation index after treatment decreased by <10 compared to before.

[0118] Note: The blood observation index drop rate calculation formula is: [(pre-treatment value ~ post-treatment value) / pre-treatment value] x 100%.

[0119] 2.6 TCM syndrome efficacy criteria

[0120] Cure: TCM clinical symptoms and signs disappear or basically disappear, and syndrome score reduction ≥95%;

[0121] Marked effect: TCM clinical symptoms and signs improved significantly, and syndrome score reduction ≥70%;

[0122] Effective: TCM clinical symptoms and signs have improved significantly, and syndrome score reduction ≥30%;

[0123] Ineffective: TCM clinical symptoms and signs have not improved significantly, or even worsened, and syndrome score reduction is less than 30%.

[0124] Note: The calculation formula (Nimodipine method) is: [(pre-treatment score ~ post-treatment score) / pre-treatment score] x 100%.

[0125] 2.7 Physical and chemical index detection

[0126] The TCM symptoms, signs, tongue and pulse manifestations are expressed by scoring method, and are observed and recorded once before treatment, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment, and the curative effect of syndromes is calculated by using the nimodipine method to calculate the curative effect integral.

[0127] The body mass index, blood pressure, blood glucose (detecting the fasting blood glucose of each patient), and fasting blood lipid of the patients are measured before treatment, 4 weeks after treatment and 8 weeks after treatment.

[0128] 2.8 Result analysis

[0129] Table 1 Western medicine disease curative effect result

[0130]

[0131] As shown in Table 1, the cure rate of the treatment group is 34.36%, and the effective rate is 95.31%; while the cure rate of the observation group is 21.86%, and the effective rate is 71.88%, the prescription of Example 1 of the application can significantly improve the physical and chemical indicators such as blood glucose and blood lipid, although the Liujunzi Decoction has certain effect, but the treatment effect is lower than that of Example 1 of the application.

[0132] Table 2 TCM syndrome disease curative effect result

[0133]

[0134] As shown in Table 2, the cure rate of the treatment group is 29.69%, and the effective rate is 93.75%; while the cure rate of the observation group is 12.5%, and the effective rate is 68.75%, from the TCM syndromes, it can be seen that the prescription of Example 1 of the application can significantly relieve the pricking pain, or limb numbness, dry mouth, flaccid, fatigue, and chest tightness, phlegm, dizziness, halitosis, headache, insomnia, and joint pain at the extremities.
