Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, specifically to the compound sumac furanolactone, its preparation method, pharmaceutical compositions, and its use in analgesia and anti-inflammation. Background Technology

[0002] sumac ( Rhus chinensis Mill. belongs to the genus *Rhus* of the family Anacardiaceae. Rhus This genus comprises approximately 250 species worldwide, with 6 species and 3 varieties found in my country. They mostly grow in limestone mountain shrublands and sparse forests at altitudes of 350-2300 meters, and are widely distributed throughout China (except Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Xinjiang, and Qinghai). *Rhus chinensis* (Salix salsa) R. Chinese As a medicinal plant, *Rhus chinensis* (Salvia splendens) was first recorded in the *Kaibao Materia Medica* of the Song Dynasty, and is currently included in publications such as the *National Compendium of Chinese Herbal Medicine* and the *Dictionary of Chinese Materia Medica*. *Rhus chinensis* has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispersing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, and is commonly used for colds with fever, bronchitis, cough with hemoptysis, diarrhea, dysentery, and hemorrhoidal bleeding. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that *Rhus chinensis* possesses antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and anti-ulcer pharmacological activities.

[0003] Pain is a protective response of the body to noxious stimuli, often accompanied by emotions such as fear, tension, and anxiety. Pain is also a symptom of certain diseases, causing distress. Severe pain, in addition to sensory suffering and emotional unease, can lead to physiological dysfunction, insomnia, and even induce shock, endangering life. Modern medicine has listed pain as the fifth vital sign after respiration, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature. Therefore, the appropriate use of analgesics in clinical practice to relieve severe pain and prevent shock is necessary and plays a significant role in disease treatment and trauma care.

[0004] Inflammation is a bodily response to injury, a mechanism used by higher animals to combat infection and trauma. It clears harmful factors and damaged tissues, repairing them and restoring them to normal. Many factors can cause inflammation, such as microorganisms, metabolic products, harmful chemicals, abnormal immune responses, and dead tissue. Common symptoms of inflammation include redness, swelling, heat, pain, and impaired function. The body's inflammatory response can both fight off external invasions and cause internal damage. If the inflammatory response exceeds a certain limit, it can lead to various diseases. Therefore, the appropriate use of anti-inflammatory drugs is crucial for relieving symptoms and eliminating the underlying cause.

[0005] The compound involved in this study is a novel compound that has been found to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. To date, no patents or literature reports have been found on the above research results.
