Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to application of ginsenoside CK in treating insomnia. Background Art

[0002] Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, which means that despite having a good sleeping environment and sufficient sleep opportunities, individuals are still dissatisfied with the quality or duration of sleep, and their daily life and social functions are affected. Clinically, insomnia can be divided into short-term insomnia (lasting no more than three months) and chronic insomnia (lasting more than three months). Its main manifestations include sleep maintenance disorders such as difficulty falling asleep, easy awakening, and early awakening, and are often accompanied by daytime fatigue, sleepiness, emotional tension, anxiety, irritability and other symptoms. Epidemiological surveys show that the prevalence of insomnia in adults is relatively high, especially women, the elderly and people facing socioeconomic pressures are more susceptible. Insomnia tends to be chronic and has a high persistence rate.

[0003] At present, the commonly used chemical drugs for the clinical treatment of insomnia include melatonin and its receptor agonists, benzodiazepines, Benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines There are many types of insomnia, such as sedatives, barbiturates, and certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antihistamines with sedative effects. Although these drugs have certain efficacy in the treatment of short-term insomnia, they are prone to safety risks during long-term use, such as drug tolerance, dependence, and unstable efficacy, which limits their application in the management of chronic insomnia. Therefore, finding safer and more effective treatment strategies has become a research focus.

The data were imported into Excel, and the NO concentration was calculated according to the standard curve.

[0064] 1.4. Zebrafish Insomnia Model Construction and Drug Administration

[0065] To further verify the anti-insomnia and anti-inflammatory effects of the monomer that significantly improved inflammation in in vitro experiments in the in vivo model, a zebrafish insomnia model was induced by immersion administration of 5mM pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), and the intervention doses for zebrafish (0.125, 0.623, and 3.114 μg / mL) were converted according to the cell experimental doses.

[0066] 1.5. PCPA insomnia model mouse model establishment, drug administration, and sample preparation

[0067] C57BL / 6 mice (male, 18–22 g) were selected and adaptively fed for 7 days and randomly divided into a normal control group (Normal), a model group (PCPA), and a drug intervention group (CK, Rg1, Rb1), with n = 9 in each group. PCPA was dissolved in 0.9% NaCl and injected intraperitoneally at 300 mg / kg body weight for 3 consecutive days to induce a mouse insomnia model. After the modeling was completed, the mice were gavaged daily (CK, Rg1, Rb1) for 11 consecutive days. The dosage was administered with reference to in vitro experiments and equivalent conversion. The normal control group and the model group were gavaged with an equal volume of saline. Behavioral tests were performed 1 hour after the last administration. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to detect the IL-6 level in the mouse brain tissue to evaluate the regulatory effect of ginsenoside CK on neuroinflammation in PCPA-induced insomnia model mice. Preparation of brain tissue homogenate: After the mice were killed, the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex tissues were quickly removed and washed with pre-cooled PBS (pH 7.4) saline to remove blood. Take 50 mg of tissue, add 500 μL of RIPA lysis buffer, and homogenize with a tissue homogenizer in an ice bath for 30 seconds, with an interval of 10 seconds, for a total of 3 times. Centrifuge the homogenate at 4°C, 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and take the supernatant for later use.

[0069] In a 96-well plate, 2 × 10 5 BV-2 cells were inoculated at a density of 1 μg / mL, cultured for a period of time and observed under a microscope, the original culture medium was removed, and replaced with serum-free culture medium containing 0.2, 1, 5, and 25 μM of each monomer component, pre-protected for 2 hours, and then LPS (1 μg / mL) was added and cultured for 24 hours. According to the NO detection method in 1.2, 50 μL of the supernatant was aspirated into a 96-well plate, the working solution was added and shaken to mix, and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm using an ELISA reader.

[0070] 1.7. Detection of inflammatory factors

[0071] The supernatant of each group was collected and centrifuged, and the ELISA kit was used for determination. The absorbance value was measured by a microplate reader, and the standard curve was made by importing Excel according to the instruction manual to calculate the content of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the supernatant.

[0072] 2. Experimental results

[0073] 2.1. Establishment of LPS-induced BV2 cell inflammation model

[0074] The damage concentration of LPS-induced microglial inflammation model was explored by measuring NO levels. The results showed that LPS had no effect on cell viability after 24h treatment with 0.01μg / mL, 1μg / mL, 10μg / mL and 100μg / mL, while 1μg / mL, 10μg / mL and 100μg / mL LPS significantly increased the release of NO in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that 1μg / ml LPS can induce BV-2 cell inflammation. Therefore, LPS with a concentration of 1μg / mL was selected for subsequent experiments. The experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0085] 2.3 Effects of each monomer component on the levels of NO, IL-6, and TNF-α in BV-2 cells induced by LPS The experiment evaluated the effects of ginsenoside CK (CK), ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), ginsenoside RC (RC), notoginseng saponin K (K), notoginseng saponin R1 (R1), and dencichine on the release of NO and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in BV-2 cells induced by LPS. The results showed that the LPS group (1 μg / mL) significantly increased the secretion levels of NO, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.01), indicating that the inflammatory model was successfully established. Ginsenoside CK (CK) can significantly inhibit the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, and NO at concentrations of 0.2-25 μM, among which the 5 μM and 25 μM groups had the strongest effects (P<0.01). Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) and ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) can significantly reduce TNF-α and NO at higher concentrations (≥5μM) (P<0.05), and have a weaker effect on IL-6. Ginsenoside RC (RC), notoginsenoside K (K), notoginsenoside R1 (R1), and dencichine have no significant inhibitory effect on the secretion of NO, IL-6, and TNF-α in the concentration range of 0.2-25μM (P>0.05).
