Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of biomedicine and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, specifically to a composition for treating insomnia, its application, and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Ume pills are typically yellowish-brown water pills or large, dark brown to black honey pills; they taste bitter and sour (water pills); or slightly sweet, bitter, and sour (large honey pills). Ume pills usually contain dried plum, Sichuan pepper, asarum, aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon twig, ginseng, and angelica.
[0003] The indications for Wumei Pills include ascariasis (a condition caused by ascariasis resulting in acute abdominal pain and cold extremities) and chronic dysentery (recurrent dysentery).
[0004] Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, mainly characterized by difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, early awakening, and decreased sleep quality. According to global epidemiological survey data, approximately 10% to 30% of adults worldwide suffer from chronic insomnia, with some countries reaching as high as 40%. Women, the elderly, and urban residents are high-risk groups. In China, studies have shown that over 300 million people have varying degrees of sleep disorders, of which about 15% are clinically chronic insomnia. The incidence of insomnia increases significantly with age, with over 50% of people over 65 years of age experiencing sleep problems.
[0005] Insomnia not only reduces quality of life but also causes significant harm to physical and mental health. The harms of insomnia include: cognitive impairment, affecting attention, memory, and decision-making abilities, increasing the risk of accidents; increased risk of psychological disorders, with long-term insomniacs having a 2-3 times higher risk of anxiety and depression; increased burden on the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and other diseases; decreased immune function, as insomnia is closely related to chronic inflammation and weakened immunity; metabolic disorders and obesity, as long-term insomnia easily leads to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome; increased cancer risk, with some studies suggesting that chronic sleep disorders may be related to breast cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.; and high social and economic costs, including decreased productivity, increased medical expenses, and higher traffic accident rates, creating a significant social burden.
[0006] Despite the high incidence and wide impact of insomnia, current treatment methods still have many problems, and there is an urgent need for safer, more effective, and more adherent medications.
[0007] Western medicines have issues with dependence and side effects, benzodiazepines Benzodiazepines (such as diazepam and lorazepam) have a rapid onset of action, but are highly addictive, causing drowsiness and memory impairment; non-benzodiazepines... Long-term use of certain drugs (such as zolpidem) can lead to tolerance and complex side effects; the use of antidepressants and antihistamines for insomnia treatment is often "off-label" and lacks specificity. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The inventors improved the types and proportions of raw materials based on Zhang Zhongjing's classic formula, Wumei Wan, to obtain a superior composition (traditional Chinese medicine composition). The formulation design focuses more on nourishing the heart and calming the mind, and harmonizing the internal organs. Unbound by theoretical constraints, Polygonum multiflorum (Ye Jiao Teng) is a key herb for calming the mind; when combined with Polygala tenuifolia (Yuan Zhi), it harmonizes the heart and kidneys, enhancing intervention for anxiety and difficulty falling asleep; Poria cocos (Fu Shen) strengthens the spleen and calms the mind, regulating the central nervous system. This invention does not use processed Aconitum carmichaelii (Pao Fu Zi), thus avoiding its pungent, hot, and drying properties, reducing interference with patients suffering from insomnia due to deficiency and restlessness. The ratio of Hericium erinaceus (Hericium erinaceus) and japonica rice is reasonable: Hericium erinaceus can improve gastrointestinal function and regulate emotions; traditional Chinese medicine believes that an upset stomach leads to restless sleep, and its higher proportion is beneficial for the coordination of the digestive system and sleep rhythm.
[0009] Subsequently, the inventors discovered that further formulation with hydrolyzed milk protein, fish collagen peptides, and soybean peptides (resulting in a biological drug) could further improve sleep. The hypothetical reasons are as follows: peptide nutrients are rich in amino acids that promote neurotransmitter synthesis; hydrolyzed milk protein contains abundant L-tryptophan and GABA-like peptides, which help promote the synthesis of 5-HT and melatonin; fish collagen peptides have a calming effect on the central nervous system and relieve anxiety; soybean peptides contain arginine and tyrosine, which can enhance memory and improve sleep quality; traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are mostly polysaccharides, glycosides, volatile oils, etc., which are absorbed slowly through the digestive tract; small molecule peptides are absorbed rapidly and can enter the bloodstream shortly after ingestion, providing immediate support in terms of onset time and initial sedation, laying the foundation for the slow-acting effect of traditional Chinese medicine. There may be multiple synergistic pathways involved. In traditional Chinese medicine, Polygonum multiflorum, Polygala tenuifolia, and Poria cocos act on the central nervous system, while peptides promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Phellodendron amurense and Coptis chinensis regulate hormone rhythms, and peptide nutrition enhances the regulatory basis. Hericium erinaceus and Lilium brownii improve the gastrointestinal environment, and together with peptides, they regulate the flora and improve the conversion and utilization rate of tryptophan in the intestine.

[0125] Example 2: Sleep Improvement Effect Test
[0126] Take appropriate amounts of each of the above compositions and shake them in sterile water for 2 minutes to obtain a 100 mg / mL aqueous suspension.
[0127] Healthy SD rats, weighing 205g-216g, with equal numbers of males and females, were randomly divided into groups of 12 animals each. Each rat was intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of p-chlorophenylalanine to establish a rat insomnia model, while the control group was intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of physiological saline. Subsequently, the model rats were administered the following treatments daily: the model group received 2mL of physiological saline by gavage; experimental group 1 received 2mL of aqueous suspension of composition 1 by gavage daily; experimental group 2 received 2mL of aqueous suspension of composition 2 by gavage daily; experimental group 3 received 2mL of aqueous suspension of composition 3 by gavage daily; and experimental group 4 received 2mL of aqueous suspension of composition C by gavage daily. This gavage treatment continued for 10 consecutive days.
[0128] Twelve hours after the last gavage, rats were injected intraperitoneally with sodium pentobarbital at a dose of 28 mg / kg. The righting reflex test synergistic with sodium pentobarbital was then performed to compare the sleep latency and sleep duration of each group of rats.
[0129] The results are shown in Table 1, and the average values of each group are taken. The sleep latency of rats in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 was significantly shorter than that in the model group, Experiment 3 and Experiment 4, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); the sleep latency of rats in Experiment 2 was also significantly shorter than that in Experiment 1 (P<0.05).
[0130] In addition, the sleep duration of rats in experimental groups 1 and 2 was significantly greater than that in the model group, experimental group 3 and experimental group 4, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); the sleep duration of rats in experimental group 2 was also significantly greater than that in experimental group 1 (P<0.05).
[0131] This indicates that compositions 1 and 2 have a significant effect on improving sleep, and are more effective than composition C.

[0134] Example 3: Formulation Preparation
[0135] Preparation Example 1: Take 1 gram of Composition 1 prepared as described in Example 1, add 10 grams of honey and mix. Knead repeatedly to obtain an ointment-like material with good plasticity. Roll the ointment material into uniform thin strips; cut into segments and roll into 30mg pills. Spread the initially formed pills flat on a clean plate and air dry until the surface is dry and no longer sticky. The pills are then obtained. Check the appearance and hardness of the pills; both are qualified; the moisture content is about 9%. Store in a dry and cool place.
[0136] Formulation Example 2: Take 1 gram of Composition 2 prepared as described in Example 1, add 10 grams of honey and mix. Knead repeatedly to obtain an ointment-like material with good plasticity. Roll the ointment material into uniform thin strips; cut into segments and roll into 30mg pills. Spread the initially formed pills flat on a clean plate and air dry until the surface is dry and no longer sticky. The pills are then obtained. Check the appearance and hardness of the pills; both are qualified; the moisture content is about 9%. Store in a dry and cool place.
[0137] Formulation Example 3: Take 1 gram of composition 1 prepared as described in Example 1, add 5 grams of honey and an appropriate amount of purified water to form a soft and moist lumpy material, and roll it by hand into honey pills with a diameter of about 3 mm. Dry them in an oven at 45°C for 6 hours to obtain the pills described in this invention.
[0138] Formulation Example 4: Take 1 gram of Composition 2 prepared as described in Example 1, add 5 grams of honey and an appropriate amount of purified water to form a soft and moist lumpy material, and roll it by hand into honey pills with a diameter of about 3 mm. Dry them in an oven at 45°C for 6 hours to obtain the pills described in this invention.
[0139] Example 4: Detection of serum 5-HT levels
[0140] Rats (n=12 per group) treated as described in Example 2 were anesthetized the day after the last gavage and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta in 5 mL samples. The blood was allowed to stand for 3 hours and then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4°C. Serum 5-HT levels were detected by ELISA. The results showed that the average serum 5-HT levels in rats treated with either Composition 1 or Composition 2 exceeded 516 pg / mL, significantly higher than those in the model group (average 113 pg / mL) and Composition C group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). This suggests that the mechanism of action may involve increasing serum 5-HT levels.
