Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, relates to a nano-drug, and particularly relates to a nano-form of ginsenoside Rh2 composition with a high drug loading amount, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant, sweet and slightly bitter in taste, warm and flat in nature. It has the effects of greatly tonifying primordial qi, restoring pulse and arresting collapse, invigorating the spleen and benefiting the lung, promoting fluid production, calming the nerves, etc. Among the various chemical components included in ginseng, such as saponins, amino acids and polypeptides, volatile oils, sugars, trace elements and other components, ginsenosides are one of the most important active components.

[0003] Among them, ginsenoside Rh2 (G-Rh2) has been widely studied due to its outstanding anti-tumor activity. (20S)G-Rh2 has a more excellent anti-tumor effect compared with (20R)G-Rh2. It can directly kill tumor cells, inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, induce apoptosis of tumor cells, and has obvious effects on the metastasis and invasion of tumor cells. Research reports show that G-Rh2 inhibits cancer cells by inducing apoptosis of various types of cancer cells through multiple pathways; Chen et al. obtained through microarray result analysis that ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits liver cancer by regulating the differential expression of IncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs) and mRNAs. In addition, ginsenoside Rh2 has a protective effect on myocardial damage, can enhance the immune function of the body, and also has pharmacological effects such as anti-allergy and anti-asthma. Its structure is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] Ginsenoside Rh2 belongs to the secondary glycoside of ginseng and has a very low content. At present, it is mostly obtained by methods such as degradation and transformation of ginsenosides with a relatively high content. Ginsenoside Rh2 mainly exerts its anti-tumor effect by enhancing the immune function, inhibiting the occurrence, development and metastasis of tumors, inducing apoptosis of tumor cells and the differentiation of cancer cells, changing the drug resistance of tumor cells to anti-cancer drugs and enhancing the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs, and can also prevent or reduce certain toxic and side effects caused by chemotherapy in common cancer treatment methods, etc.

[0006] A large number of basic and clinical studies have shown that ginsenoside Rh2-containing has broad application prospects in tumor treatment, but traditional preparations still have many problems at present, such as relatively large particle size, insoluble in water, low bioavailability, etc., which limit its clinical application. If new ginsenoside-containing traditional Chinese medicines can be prepared by improving traditional preparation processes and adopting modern technologies, so as to improve their bioavailability, reduce the drug dosage, reduce toxic and side effects and improve the curative effect, it will have important clinical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above, the object of the present invention is to provide a ginsenoside Rh2 composition, which is a composition that can improve the oral bioavailability of ginsenoside Rh2.

[0008] It should be noted that ginsenoside Rh2 is a poorly soluble component and an active ingredient that has received much attention. However, different from conventional poorly soluble drugs, the preparation of ginsenoside nanoparticles is extremely difficult. So far, the research on the nano-delivery system of ginsenoside Rh2 is extremely limited. There are only sub-microemulsions, self-microemulsions, lipid nanoparticles (using EPC, PLGA, DSPE-PEG as excipients, drug loading of 7.2%), nanoparticles prepared with chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate as excipients with a drug loading of 7.89%; Rh2 micelles with PLGA-PEG as excipients, and the drug loading is <4% under the optimized conditions.

[0009] The research on ginsenoside Rh2 liposomes is relatively more. So far, the liposome has the highest drug loading, and its maximum drug loading is only 23%. The preparation of liposomes requires the use of a relatively large amount of phospholipids, and the cost of phospholipids is high; at the same time, the chemical stability of phospholipids is poor, and they are prone to oxidation during transportation and storage, which also has an adverse impact on the stability of the product. A series of measures taken to avoid or delay the oxidation of phospholipids will further increase the cost of the product. Therefore, in order to truly achieve clinical application, it is necessary to prepare Rh2 nano-drugs with higher drug loading using more stable excipients.

[0010] Among all nano-delivery systems, the drug loadings of nano-suspensions and nanocrystals are the highest. It seems logical to prepare nanocrystals or nano-suspensions of Rh2. However, ginsenoside Rh2 is rather special. The present invention has tried various excipients as stabilizers to prepare nano-suspensions of Rh2 by the most economical grinding method (top-down method), and set the drug-to-carrier ratio at 1:2 and above, but all ended in failure without exception. Either the particle size was extremely large or the stability was poor (irreversible precipitation aggregation occurred during storage); later, the anti-solvent precipitation method was tried to screen nano-suspensions that could prepare Rh2 nanoparticles with good stability at a drug-to-carrier ratio of 1:2, but the results were also unsuccessful. It shows that it is impossible to successfully prepare nano-suspensions of Rh2 with conventional methods and conventional excipients, and a new approach is needed to obtain a nano-composition of Rh2 with a high drug loading.

[0011] During the preliminary exploration of the present invention, it was unexpectedly found that after mixing oleic acid into the ethanol solution of Rh2 and using TPGS as a stabilizer, nanoparticles similar to the nano-suspension of ginsenoside Rh2 could be successfully prepared, which were stable when placed and stable in artificial gastrointestinal fluids, and had a drug loading as high as 40%. When oleic acid was replaced with linoleic acid, and mixtures of different ratios of oleic acid and linoleic acid, they still had excellent stability and high drug loading. However, when oleic acid was replaced with soybean oil, corn oil, or olive oil, stable Rh2 nanoparticles could not be successfully prepared, suggesting that there may be a certain specific interaction between oleic acid / linoleic acid and Rh2, which can help Rh2 complete assembly under the stabilizing effect of TPGS to form high-drug-loading nanoparticles similar to the nano-suspension; and when TPGS was replaced with other amphiphilic excipients, it was found that Rh2 nanoparticles could basically be prepared.

[0012] In order to achieve the object of the present invention, based on a large amount of research, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0013] The first technical object of the present invention is to provide a ginsenoside Rh2 composition, which includes ginsenoside Rh2, oleic acid / linoleic acid, and an amphiphilic excipient; wherein,

[0014] The weight ratio of ginsenoside Rh2, oleic acid / linoleic acid, and the amphiphilic excipient is 4:2 - 8:1 - 8.

[0015] Optionally, the composition includes pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, and the excipients include excipients for adjusting osmotic pressure and pH, specifically including glucose, sodium chloride, phosphate buffer solution, and glycerol.

[0016] Furthermore, the oleic acid / linoleic acid is a mixed solution of oleic acid and linoleic acid in any ratio, and the amphiphilic excipient includes one or more combinations of TPGS, PLA-PEG, PLGA-PEG, PCL-PEG, DSPE-PEG, phospholipids, and sodium oleate.

[0017] It should be noted that the average particle size of the ginsenoside Rh2 composition is 50 - 1000 nm. The presence of oleic acid / linoleic acid is essential for the formation of the ginsenoside Rh2 nano-composition. The ginsenoside Rh2 composition can effectively solve the problem of poor solubility and difficult administration of ginsenoside Rh2, and can significantly improve the bioavailability of ginsenoside Rh2 by oral administration. Incorporating borneol into the composition can further improve the oral bioavailability.

[0018] Moreover, the ginsenoside Rh2 composition can basically maintain its original particle size (particle size change < 100 nm) in gastrointestinal fluids and can be orally administered in the form of nanoparticles; in physiological saline, PBS, and 5% glucose, the particle size is basically stable (particle size change < 100 nm) and can be intravenously injected in the form of nanoparticles.

[0019] The second technical object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of the ginsenoside Rh2 composition as described above, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0020] Dissolve ginsenoside Rh2, amphiphilic excipient, oleic acid / linoleic acid in an organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution; under stirring or ultrasonic treatment, add the mixed solution into water, and evaporate the organic solvent under reduced pressure to finally obtain the ginsenoside Rh2 composition.

[0021] Or, the preparation method of the ginsenoside Rh2 composition, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0022] Dissolve ginsenoside Rh2, oleic acid / linoleic acid, amphiphilic excipient in an organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution; under stirring or ultrasonic treatment, add the mixed solution into an aqueous solution containing sodium oleate, and evaporate the organic solvent under reduced pressure to finally obtain the ginsenoside Rh2 composition.

[0023] Optionally, the organic solvent includes one or more combinations of ethanol, methanol, and acetone, the volume of water is 3-50 times that of the organic solvent, the stirring speed is 300-2000 rpm, and the water bath ultrasonic power is 100-500 W.

[0024] Optionally, for the aqueous dispersion system prepared by the method, after adding 1% mannitol and mixing evenly, freeze-dry to obtain the solid powder of the ginsenoside Rh2 composition, which is convenient for long-term storage.

[0025] After adding mannitol to the aqueous nano-dispersion system and then freeze-drying, the solid powder of the composition is further obtained, which can be filled into capsules for oral administration or packed as a granule. Before use, add water and stir evenly before taking.

[0026] The third technical object of the present invention is to provide an application of the ginsenoside Rh2 composition as described above in pharmaceutical preparations.

[0027] The ginsenoside Rh2 composition disclosed by the present invention can be used as an active ingredient together with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to prepare a pharmaceutical composition, and the pharmaceutical composition can be prepared into various dosage forms by conventional methods in the pharmaceutical field, such as tablets, powders, granules, pills, capsules, tinctures, oral liquids, ointments, creams, emulsions or patches, etc. According to the different dosage forms, the excipients used in the pharmaceutical composition are also different, and the common excipients include diluents, excipients, fillers, binders, wetting agents, disintegrants, absorption promoters, surfactants, adsorption carriers, lubricants, emulsifiers, and osmotic pressure regulators.

[0028] Moreover, the ginsenoside Rh2 nano-composition disclosed by the present invention is used for the treatment and prevention of tumors.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] In the present invention, ginsenoside Rh2, oleic acid / linoleic acid, and amphiphilic excipients are dissolved in an appropriate amount of water-miscible organic solvents such as ethanol, and then added to the aqueous phase under stirring or ultrasonic action. Then, the organic solvent is removed by reduced pressure evaporation to obtain a nano-composition with an average particle size of 50-1000 nm. The drug loading can easily reach 30%, and the optimized prescription drug loading is 39.6%. It can be directly administered orally or by intravenous injection. The preparation process of this composition is simple. Compared with the physical suspension of Rh2, the oral bioavailability in rats is increased by more than 2.5 times. After adding a small amount of borneol to the prescription, the bioavailability is increased to 5.1 times. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
