It should be understood that the following examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0066] Example 1 Preparation of sophora flavescens lavender flavonoids

[0067] Take Sophora flavescens, crush it, and extract it with 80% methanol reflux, with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10, and extract it 3 times, each time for 2 hours. Combine the extracts and concentrate until there is no alcohol taste; take the concentrate, adjust the pH value to 1-2 with hydrochloric acid, extract it with ethyl acetate, monitor the extraction with thin layer until there is no flavonoid reaction, and combine the ethyl acetate layer; after concentrating the ethyl acetate layer, mix the sample with a small amount of silica gel to prepare the column, first use petroleum ether to elute 5 column volumes, then elute with ethyl acetate, monitor the elution with thin layer until there is no flavonoid reaction, collect the ethyl acetate part, concentrate it, and obtain it. The purity of lavender flavonoids in the extract was 68.33% detected by aluminum nitrate colorimetry (detection wavelength 500nm).

[0068] Example 2 Investigation of the antibacterial activity of lavender flavonoids from Sophora flavescens

[0069] Cell lines: Propionibacterium acnes (ATCC11827), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) were obtained from the Microbial Culture Collection Center of Guangdong Institute of Microbiology;

[0070] Experimental samples: Propylene glycol, pionin, mupirocin ointment

[0071] Experimental instruments: Bacterial incubator (Jintan City Jerrell Electric Company, MJ-150B), multifunctional microplate reader (Beckman DTX 800, USA), anaerobic culture bag (Mitsubishi Lijiu Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan)

[0072] (1) Paper disc method: The liquid prepared by Sophora flavescens lavender flavonoids, propylene glycol, and pionin prepared in Example 1 was soaked in a 6 mm paper disc, and the test bacteria were plated at 6.0×108 CFU / mL, and the paper disc was pasted on an agar plate. Propionibacterium acnes was placed in an anaerobic culture box and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, and Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus were placed in a 37°C incubator and incubated for 24 hours. The size of the inhibition zone was observed and measured. The experiment was repeated 3 times. The test results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 shown.

[0073] Table 1 Inhibition zone of each tested bacteria (mm)

[0074]

[0075] From Table 1 and Figure 1 As shown, Propionibacterium acnes is highly sensitive to the flavonoids of Sophora flavescens, and there is no inhibition zone for propylene glycol and piorning samples; Staphylococcus epidermidis is highly sensitive to the flavonoids of Sophora flavescens, and is lowly sensitive to the piorning sample, and there is no inhibition zone for the propylene glycol sample; Staphylococcus aureus is moderately sensitive to the flavonoids of Sophora flavescens, and is lowly sensitive to the piorning sample, and there is no inhibition zone for the propylene glycol sample. This shows that Sophora flavescens lavender flavonoids has significant inhibitory activity against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus, especially the strongest inhibitory effect on Propionibacterium acnes.

[0076] (2) Colorimetric method: The liquid medicines prepared from sophora flavescens-lavender flavonoids, propylene glycol, and piroctone obtained in Example 1 were respectively added to a 96-well plate, and then 180 μl of the bacterial suspension was added; the blank group was 200 μl of blank liquid medium; the control group was 200 μl of bacterial liquid. Propionibacterium acnes was incubated in an anaerobic culture box in a constant temperature incubator at 37 °C for 48 h, and Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus were incubated in a constant temperature incubator at 37 °C for 24 h. The OD value at 600 nm was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. The growth inhibition rate was calculated according to the following method: Growth inhibition rate = (OD of the control group - OD of the experimental group) / (OD of the control group - OD of the blank group). The experiment was repeated 3 times, and the test results are as Figure 2 shown.

[0077] As can be seen from Figure 2 it, sophora flavescens-lavender flavonoids, propylene glycol, and piroctone samples all have inhibitory effects on Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus, and sophora flavescens-lavender flavonoids have the strongest activity.

[0078] Example 3 investigated the alleviating effect of sophora flavescens-lavender flavonoids on MC903-induced dermatitis in mice

[0079] Animal administration and grouping: 170 healthy SPF-grade male BALB / c mice, 6 - 8 weeks old, with a body weight of (20 ± 2) g. After one week of adaptive feeding, they were raised in a specific pathogen-free environment with air flow, a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C, a humidity of (55 ± 5)%, and a 12-hour light-dark cycle, and were allowed to eat and drink freely. After one week of adaptive feeding of the experimental animals, they were randomly divided into 17 groups of 10 mice each. Every morning, 20 μL / mouse of 2 nmol MC903 solution was evenly applied to the right ears of the model group and each administration group, and 20 μL of absolute ethanol was applied to the left ears as a solvent control. The blank group was applied with an equal amount of absolute ethanol for 10 consecutive days. From the fourth day, the corresponding drugs were applied topically at 20 μL / mouse. The administrations of each group are shown in Table 2:

[0080] Table 2

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] (1) Effect on the scratching times of the MC903-induced dermatitis-like mouse model

[0084] Each group of mice was observed behaviorally for 15 min (observation), and the latency period and the number of scratching times within 15 min were recorded. If it was continuous scratching, it was only counted as 1 time. The test results are shown in Figure 3 .

[0085] As Figure 3As shown, compared with the normal group, the scratching times in the model group were significantly increased. Compared with the model group, the positive drug and the other administration groups could all reduce the scratching times of mice to varying degrees, and the total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens group had the most obvious effect.

[0086] (2) Effects on the organ coefficients of MC903-induced dermatitis-like mouse models

[0087] On the last day of the experiment, the body weights were recorded. The animals were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital solution. After collecting blood from the abdominal aorta, the spleen and thymus were dissected, the wet weights of the organs were weighed, and the organ coefficients were calculated. Organ coefficient = organ mass (mg) / body weight (g). The test results are shown in Figure 4 .

[0088] As Figure 4 shown in a, compared with the normal group, the spleen index in the model group decreased slightly. Compared with the model group, there were no significant differences in the other administration groups; as Figure 4 shown in b, compared with the model group, there were significant differences in the dexamethasone acetate group (Dex.), high-dose total alkaloids of Sophora flavescens group (KSZJJ-H), medium-dose total alkaloids of Sophora flavescens group (KSZJJ-M), medium-dose matrine monomer group (DGY-M), and low-dose matrine monomer group (DGY-L), indicating that total alkaloids of Sophora flavescens and matrine monomer may have inhibitory toxicity to the thymus.

[0089] (3) Effects on the ear thickness measurement of MC903-induced dermatitis-like mouse models

[0090] On the 0th, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th days after modeling, the thickness changes of the same parts of the left and right ears of the mice in each group were measured three times respectively. The final result was the average value of the three numerical values, and the ear swelling thickness (mm) was calculated. Swelling degree (mm) = right ear thickness - left ear thickness.

[0091] As Figure 5 shown, except for the normal group, the ear thickness of the other groups showed an upward trend, and the model group was more obvious. Compared with the normal group, the ear thickness in the model group increased significantly, with significant differences and statistical significance. Compared with the model group, each administration group could reduce the ear swelling degree of mice to varying degrees, and the inhibitory activity of the high-dose total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens was the strongest.

[0092] (4) Effects on the clinical skin lesion scores of MC903-induced dermatitis-like mouse models

[0093] Clinical skin lesion scores were performed according to Table 3 on the 0th day and the 10th day of the experiment.

[0094] Table 3

[0095] Degree of skin lesion Erythema (hemorrhage) Edema (papule) Epidermal exfoliation (scratch) Scale (dryness) None (0 point) None None None None Mild (1 point) Vaguely visible, pink Almost imperceptible elevation above the skin surface A little superficial epidermal exfoliation Bran-like desquamation Moderate (2 points) Clearly visible, dark red Clearly visible elevation above the skin surface, but not significant <![CDATA[Many superficial and / or some deeper epidermal exfoliations]]> Thin flaky scales covering thinly Severe (3 points) Dark red or fiery red Significantly elevated above the skin surface <![CDATA[Diffuse superficial and / or many deep epidermal desquamations]]> Covered with thick scales

[0096] As Figure 6As shown, compared with the normal group, the ears of the mice in the model group were significantly swollen and red, accompanied by some scales. The clinical skin lesion score was significantly increased, showing a significant difference and statistical significance. Compared with the model group, after topical administration, except for the low-dose group of total matrine, the low- and medium-dose groups of matrine monomer, and the low-dose group of Kushen extract pills, the redness and scaling of the mice's ears were alleviated in the remaining groups, showing statistical significance, and the high-dose group of total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens had the strongest efficacy.

[0097] Example 4 investigated the inhibitory activity of Kushen Lavender flavonoids on melanin

[0098] Experimental reagents: water (deionized water or water of the same purity); dimethyl sulfoxide; nicotinamide; sodium bicarbonate; potassium chloride; calcium chloride dihydrate; magnesium sulfate heptahydrate.

[0099] Experimental instruments: stereomicroscope; electronic balance; constant temperature incubator; and other conventional laboratory instruments and equipment: such as pipettes, volumetric flasks, beakers, aluminum foil, pipettes, etc.

[0100] Select 6hpf wild-type AB strain zebrafish into 6-well plates and randomly divide them into 6 groups: normal group (no treatment), positive group (0.2% nicotinamide), DMSO group (0.1% DMSO), experimental groups 1-3 (Kushen Lavender flavonoids (KSHT) prepared in Example 1 were respectively made into concentrations of 2.5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL) for the experiment, and incubated at 28 °C for 45 h; randomly select 10 zebrafish from each group to take pictures of the zebrafish heads under a dissection microscope and save the pictures, and use ImageJ software to analyze the relative area of melanin in the zebrafish heads and calculate the total relative density value. The test results are as Figures 7 - 8 shown.

[0101] As Figure 7 shown, compared with the normal control group, the melanin in the heads of zebrafish in the experimental groups of Kushen Lavender flavonoids at different concentrations decreased, revealing that this sample has a whitening effect; as Figure 8 shown, compared with the normal group, Kushen Lavender flavonoids significantly reduced the density of melanin in the concentration range of 2.5 - 20 μg / mL.
