Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of drug preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a chitosan-sodium alginate complex containing a plant extract. Background Art

[0002] Fritillaria truncatum Fritillaria snowflakes Re-gel or Fritillaria cirrhosa Fritillaria pallidiflora The dried bulb of Schrenk is one of the medicinal Fritillaria. It is mainly distributed in the Yili River Basin of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It has the functions of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and dispersing nodules. It is used for cough with phlegm and heat, sputum with blood, and scrofula, sores, and swelling. The chemical components of Ilex Fritillaria are isosteroidal alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. Ilex Fritillaria has high yield, strong disease resistance, and low price of medicinal materials. In particular, its physiological activities such as expectoration and antitussive are slightly stronger than those of Fritillaria cirrhosa. It has attracted much attention in recent years.

[0003] Ziziphus jujuba Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa The dried mature seeds of (Bunge)Hu exH. F. Chou have the effects of nourishing the heart and liver, calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves, astringing sweat, and promoting the production of body fluids. They are used to treat symptoms such as insomnia, palpitations and dreams, excessive sweating due to physical weakness, and thirst due to loss of body fluids. Modern research shows that the seeds of the Chinese date contain a variety of substances such as fatty oils, saponins, flavonoids, and alkaloids.

[0004] Datura Metal thickness L. is a plant of the genus Datura in the Solanaceae family. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia records that its medicinal part is the flower, which has the effects of relieving asthma and cough, analgesia, antispasmodic, and anesthetic. The main chemical components of Datura are withanolides, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which have a wide range of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, and cell protection, especially in the clinical treatment of psoriasis. However, in recent years, through the study of the chemical composition of Datura leaves, it was found that Datura leaves also contain flavonoids and alkaloids with multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and immunosuppressive. The effective active ingredients of Fritillaria cirrhosa, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae and Flos Daturae all include flavonoids, saponins and alkaloids. Among them, most alkaloids and flavonoids have poor water solubility, but glycosylated flavonoids and some alkaloids are easily soluble in water, and saponins generally have good water solubility. In addition, alkaloids are easily oxidized. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pharmaceutical composition that can effectively encapsulate flavonoids, saponins and alkaloids in plant extracts such as Fritillaria cirrhosa, so as to facilitate preservation and absorption by the human body.
