Abstract
Description
Traditional Chinese medicine extract, medicine and detection method thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine extract, a medicine and a detection method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Viral pneumonia is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that spreads downward, triggering lung inflammation and impaired pulmonary ventilation. While it can occur year-round, it is most common in winter and spring, with outbreaks occurring in both epidemics and sporadic episodes. Clinical manifestations include fever, headache, body aches, dry cough, and pulmonary infiltrates. While influenza virus is the most common cause of pneumonia, other pathogens, including respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza virus, have also garnered significant attention.
[0003] Viral infection primarily manifests as interstitial lung lesions. Initially, ciliated columnar epithelial cells are affected, followed by invasion of other respiratory cells, including alveolar cells, mucous gland cells, and macrophages. The virus replicates within the cells and then releases infectious virus to infect adjacent cells. Infected ciliated cells may undergo degeneration, including granular degeneration, vacuolation, cell swelling, and nuclear condensation, followed by necrosis and disintegration. Cell fragments accumulate in the airways and obstruct small airways, and airway swelling occurs. There is a pronounced inflammatory reaction in the alveolar septa, accompanied by infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages, and occasionally plasma cell and neutrophil infiltration and edema. Fibrin thrombi with necrosis and hemorrhage may occur in the alveolar capillaries, and eosinophilic hyaline membranes may be seen in the alveoli. Severely infected patients may experience pulmonary edema, consolidation, hemorrhage, necrosis of the lung parenchyma, and atelectasis.
[0004] Influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus are the most common viruses causing upper respiratory tract infections. Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are RNA viruses. They are divided into three types: A, B, and C, based on the antigenicity of their nucleoprotein and matrix proteins. Influenza A virus mutates rapidly and is highly virulent. H1N1 / FM1 is a subtype A strain of influenza virus adapted to the lungs of mice, which mimics influenza A virus in producing lung infection damage. Influenza A virus initiates infection by binding to sialic acid receptors on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells via hemagglutinin. After entry, the viral genome begins transcription and replication. Large numbers of replicated progeny virus particles spread across the respiratory mucosa and begin infecting other cells, triggering a cytokine storm and leading to systemic inflammation, ultimately leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock, and multiple organ failure. Respiratory syncytial virus belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family and is an RNA virus. Pathogenesis involves interactions between the virus and affected host cells, including damage, inflammation, humoral and local immune responses, and hyperresponsiveness.
[0005] Various data and clinical use have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) possesses significant antiviral efficacy, a broad antiviral spectrum, and minimal toxic side effects. Furthermore, many TCMs possess antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties, while simultaneously exerting multiple effects on viral infections, such as shortening the duration of fever, controlling the spread of inflammation, and promoting its absorption. This multi-faceted, multi-faceted approach is crucial. This diverse array of TCM active ingredients makes it difficult for viruses to develop resistance, giving TCM a distinct advantage in treating viral infections and promising prospects for clinical application.

[0048] Experimental Example 1 Preparation Process Examination
[0049] 1. Investigation of extraction solvent
[0050] Weigh 15g of Magnolia officinalis, 9g of charred Areca nut, 9g of stewed Tsaoko fruit, 6g of Ephedra, 9g of Bitter Apricot, 15g of Notopterygium wilfordii, 15g of Ginger, 15g of Patchouli, 9g of Perilla frutescens, 15g of Atractylodes lancea, 45g of Poria, 30g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 15g of Gypsum, 9g of charred Crataegus pinnatifida, 9g of charred Liushenqu, 9g of charred Malt, 15g of Earthworm, 15g of Cynanchum indica, 9g of Codonopsis pilosula, and 15g of Lepidoptera: 1 portion, add water and decoct twice, extract for 1.5h for the first time and 1.0h for the second time. Combine the extracts, filter, concentrate the filtrate to a relative density of 1.10-1.15, centrifuge, vacuum dry the filtrate, spray dry and crush to obtain an intermediate composition. The test results of ephedrine transfer rate and solid content transfer rate of different extraction solvent volumes are as follows:
[0051] Calculation formula:
[0052] Among them, the total transfer rate refers to the ratio of the total amount of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in the extract to the ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in the medicinal material.
[0053] The experimental results show that the transfer rates of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, as well as the solid content transfer rate, increase with increasing water addition. When the solvent dosage increases from 4.3 to 6.4 times, the transfer rates of each indicator increase significantly. With further increases in water addition, the growth trend of each indicator becomes more gradual, but it actually decreases when the solvent dosage is too high. Taking into account energy efficiency and the transfer rates of the indicator components, the water dosage was determined to be 6 times the initial dosage and 4 times the initial dosage for the second addition.
[0054] 2. Soaking time investigation
[0055] Separately weigh 15g of Magnolia officinalis, 9g of charred Areca nut, 9g of stewed Tsaoko fruit, 6g of Ephedra, 9g of Bitter Apricot, 15g of Notopterygium wilfordii, 15g of Ginger, 15g of Patchouli, 9g of Perilla frutescens, 15g of Atractylodes lancea, 45g of Poria, 30g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 15g of Gypsum, 9g of charred Crataegus pinnatifida, 9g of charred Liushenqu, 9g of charred Malt, 15g of Earthworm, 15g of Cynanchum chinense, 9g of Mianma Guanzhong, and 15g of Lepidium tiliaceum. Add water and decoct twice, adding 6 times the amount of water for the first extraction and extracting for 1.5h, and adding 4 times the amount of water for the second extraction and extracting for 1.0h. The soaking time for the three extractions is 0, 30, and 60 min, respectively. Combine the extracts, filter, and concentrate the filtrate to a relative density of 1.10-1.15, centrifuge, and vacuum dry the filtrate. Spray dry and crush to obtain an intermediate composition.
[0056] The effect of soaking time on the transfer rate of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and the transfer rate of solid content was investigated. The experimental results are as follows:
[0057] Calculation formula:
[0058] The experimental results show that the soaking time has little effect on the total transfer rate and solid content transfer rate of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. Therefore, the extraction process is determined to be direct extraction without soaking.
[0059] 3. Extraction time investigation
[0060] Weigh 15g of Magnolia officinalis, 9g of charred Areca nut, 9g of stewed Tsaoko fruit, 6g of Ephedra, 9g of Bitter Apricot, 15g of Notopterygium wilfordii, 15g of Ginger, 15g of Patchouli, 9g of Perilla frutescens, 15g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 45g of Poria, 30g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 15g of Gypsum, 9g of charred Crataegus pinnatifida, 9g of charred Liushenqu, 9g of charred Malt, 15g of Earthworm, 15g of Cynanchum chinense, 9g of Mianma Guanzhong, and 15g of Tinglizi as one portion, for a total of 5 portions. Add water and extract twice, adding 6 times the amount of water for the first time and 4 times the amount of water for the second time. The first extraction time is 60min, 75min, 90min, 105min, and 120min, respectively, and the second extraction time is 30min, 45min, 60min, 75min, and 90min, respectively. The effect of extraction time on the transfer rate of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and the solid content transfer rate is investigated. The experimental results are as follows:
[0061] Calculation formula:
[0062] The experimental results showed that the transfer rate of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, as well as the solid content transfer rate, increased with extraction time. When the extraction time increased from 60, 30 minutes to 90, 60 minutes, the growth trend of each indicator was more obvious. As the extraction time continued to increase, the growth trend of each indicator gradually slowed down. Therefore, the extraction time was selected to be 90 minutes for the first extraction and 60 minutes for the second extraction.
[0063] 4. Extraction Process Validation
[0064] To validate the optimal extraction process, a scaled-up validation test was conducted based on the optimization results from the single-factor experiment. In the initial experiments, several key components of the extract fluctuated significantly, impacting the efficacy. Therefore, by strengthening control from raw materials to the preparation process, we aim to achieve an effective and controllable extraction. Weigh 15g of Magnolia officinalis, 9g of charred Areca nut, 9g of stewed Tsaoko fruit, 6g of Ephedra, 9g of Bitter Apricot, 15g of Notopterygium wilfordii, 15g of Ginger, 15g of Patchouli, 9g of Perilla frutescens, 15g of Atractylodes lancea, 45g of Poria, 30g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 15g of Gypsum, 9g of charred Crataegus pinnatifida, 9g of charred Liushenqu, 9g of charred Malt, 15g of Earthworm, 15g of Cynanchum chinense, 9g of Mianma Guanzhong, and 15g of Lepidium officinale as one portion. Weigh a total of 12 portions (some important drugs, Magnolia officinalis, Areca nut, and stewed Tsaoko fruit have established unique medicinal material and decoction piece fingerprint control standards, and the prescription medicinal materials all meet the requirements of the latest pharmacopoeia standards) and extract them with water twice, adding 6 times the amount of water for the first extraction and extracting for 1.5h, and adding 4 times the amount of water for the second extraction and extracting for 1.0h. Each 4 portions are combined as 1 group, for a total of 3 groups. The transfer rate of ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, the solid content transfer rate, and other important indicators were measured to investigate the stability and feasibility of the process. The experimental results are as follows:
[0065] The verification results showed that the preferred process was stable, feasible and had good reproducibility. Therefore, the optimal extraction process was determined to be two water extractions: the first time, 6 times the amount of water was added and the extraction was performed for 1.5 h; the second time, 4 times the amount of water was added and the extraction was performed for 1.0 h.

[0154] 4.2 Effects on IL-33 Cytokine in Lung Tissue
[0155] Lung tissue was removed from the -80°C freezer and treated with a high-efficiency protein lysis buffer (PMSF and protease inhibitors added). The lung tissue was centrifuged and the protein supernatant was collected. The protein sample was placed in an ice box and sent to Leitz Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for high-throughput liquid phase protein microarray analysis of various cytokines in mouse lung tissue. Detailed detection procedures are detailed in the appendix.
[0156] After mice were infected intranasally with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the IL-33 cytokine content in the lung tissue of the model group was significantly increased, showing a significant difference compared with the normal control group (P < 0.01). Treatment with the combination granules for 4 days, starting on the day of infection, showed a significant decrease in IL-33 content in the oseltamivir phosphate group, the combination group, the oseltamivir phosphate group + the combination group, and the ribavirin + the combination group, showing a significant difference compared with the model group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).

[0167] 1. Selection of chromatographic conditions
[0168] Take an appropriate amount of this product, grind it into powder, take about 2 g, weigh it accurately, put it into a stoppered conical flask, accurately add 50 ml of water, ultrasonically treat it for 30 minutes, shake it well, centrifuge it, and take the supernatant to obtain the test solution.
[0169] 1.1 Selection of detection wavelength
[0170] The test solution was scanned at full wavelength using DAD. The results showed that the chromatographic peak information at 250 nm was rich, the response was more uniform, and the baseline was more stable. Therefore, 250 nm was selected as the detection wavelength for the characteristic spectrum. See Figures 4 and 5.
[0171] 1.2 Selection of mobile phase
[0172] Based on the characteristics of the water extraction process of this product, a Waters Atlantis T3 (4.6×250mm, 5μm) C 18 The chromatographic column used methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase system and a detection wavelength of 250 nm. The separation effects of different mobile phase gradients were examined. Gradient program IV showed good peak resolution, appropriate retention times, and a relatively stable baseline. Therefore, gradient program IV was the preferred mobile phase elution program. The gradient elution program is as follows, and the results are shown in Figure 6.
[0173] Based on the above considerations, the proposed chromatographic conditions are: octadecylsilane bonded silica gel as the packing material (Waters Atlantis T3, column length 25 cm, inner diameter 4.6 mm, particle size 5 μm); methanol as mobile phase A, 0.1% phosphoric acid as mobile phase B, gradient elution as specified in the table below; flow rate 1.0 ml / min; column temperature 30°C; detection wavelength 250 nm. The number of theoretical plates based on the purpurogenol peak should be no less than 10,000.
[0174] 2. Selection of test sample preparation method
[0175] In order to optimize a reasonable and simple method for preparing the test solution, the extraction solvent and extraction method were investigated.
[0176] Preparation of test solution: Take an appropriate amount of this product, grind it into powder, take about 1g, and weigh it accurately. Place it in a stoppered conical flask, accurately add water and 25ml of 50% methanol respectively, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes and reflux for 30 minutes respectively, shake well, centrifuge, and take the supernatant to obtain 4 test solution.
[0177] Results: Chromatographic analysis of each sample solution under the aforementioned conditions revealed that chromatographic peaks with greater polarity before 25 minutes into the extraction process using water showed a higher response, a richer overall peak count, and a more uniform response. Considering the characteristics of the aqueous extraction process, water was the preferred extraction solvent. Chromatographic peak richness and response were not significantly different between reflux and ultrasonic extraction methods. Ultrasonic extraction was preferred for ease of use. See Figure 7.
[0178] Based on the above investigation, the proposed method for processing the test sample is: take an appropriate amount of the product, grind it into powder, take about 1g, accurately weigh it, place it in a stoppered conical flask, accurately add 25ml of water, ultrasonically treat it (power 500W, frequency 40kHz) for 30 minutes, shake it well, centrifuge it, and take the supernatant.
[0179] 3. Durability inspection
[0180] The effects of different wavelengths (245nm, 250nm, 255nm), flow rates (0.8ml / min, 0.9ml / min, 1.0ml / min, 1.1ml / min, 1.2ml / min), column temperatures (25℃, 28℃, 30℃, 32℃, 35℃), different batches of chromatographic columns {column 1: Waters Atlantis T3 (4.6×250mm, 5μm), serial number 01813017014031; column 2: Waters Atlantis T3 (4.6×250mm, 5μm), serial number 01813017014008}, and instruments (instrument 1: Agilent 1260, instrument 2: Ultimate3000) on the separation of the selected 10 characteristic peaks were investigated.
[0181] The results showed that within the wavelength range of 250 ± 5 nm, flow rate of 0.8 ml / min to 1.2 ml / min, and column temperature of 25°C to 35°C, and using different batches of chromatographic columns and different brands of instruments, the selected characteristic peaks were well separated, demonstrating the robustness of the method (see Figure 8).
[0182] 4 Methodological validation
[0183] Precision Assessment: Test solutions were prepared as described above. Accurately pipette 10 μl of the same solution and inject six times. The relative retention times of the 10 calibrated characteristic peaks were calculated, using purpurogenol (peak 8) as the reference peak. The results showed that the RSD values for the relative retention times of the 10 characteristic peaks were all less than 0.5%, indicating good instrument precision. See Table 4 and Figure 9.
[0184] Repeatability Study: Six test sample solutions were prepared in parallel according to the above method and assayed. Using purpurin (peak 8) as the reference peak, the relative retention times of the 10 calibrated characteristic peaks were calculated. The results showed that the RSD values of the relative retention times of all 10 characteristic peaks were less than 0.5%, indicating good repeatability of the method. See Table 5 and Figure 10.
[0185] Stability Study: 10 μl of the same test solution was injected at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 hours. The relative retention times of the 10 characteristic peaks were calculated using purpurogenol (peak 8) as the reference peak. The results showed that the RSD values of the relative retention times of the 10 characteristic peaks were all less than 0.5%, indicating that the test solution had good stability over 36 hours. See Table 6 and Figure 11.

[0190] According to the above method, 14 batches of clinical practice samples, 3 batches of pilot samples, and 3 batches of process validation samples were measured. 10 peaks were selected as characteristic peaks, and a control fingerprint was generated for 20 batches of preparations. The peak corresponding to the peak of the purpurogenol reference substance was designated as the S peak. The relative retention time of each characteristic peak was calculated. Each peak should be within ±10% of the specified value, which is: 0.11 (peak 1), 0.27 (peak 2), 0.36 (peak 3), 0.38 (peak 4), 0.41 (peak 5), 0.84 (peak 6), 0.92 (peak 7), 1.00 (peak 8), 1.19 (peak 9), and 1.29 (peak 10).
