AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, capsaicin is metabolized rapidly in the body, which limits its biological activity. At the same time, direct oral administration may lead to oral inflammation, gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal cramps, limiting its application in the treatment of diabetes. Although metformin hydrochloride is effective, it fails to achieve a good sustained release effect.
Capsaicin sustained-release microspheres were prepared by reacting thiol-modified chitosan with zein and capsaicin, and metformin hydrochloride embedded with gelatin and hydroxyethyl cellulose, and tablets were coated with acrylic resin, triethyl citrate, and talc powder to achieve sustained-release and enteric coating effects.
The sustained release effects of capsaicin and metformin hydrochloride were achieved, reducing the irritation to the stomach, and improving the efficacy of the drug for treating diabetes and the comfort of patients.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicaments, and particularly to a medicament for treating diabetes and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Diabetes is a chronic, prevalent non-communicable disease with many characteristics, such as a long treatment period, easy occurrence of various complications (such as kidney disease, eye disease), and recurrence of the condition. It has now seriously endangered the health of people all over the world. Diabetes does not directly threaten human life safety, but due to the relatively low insulin secretion in patients, it can induce many other diseases, seriously reducing the living standards of patients, and even leading to death if not controlled.
[0003] Capsaicin is a pungent alkaloid present in chili peppers. It has attracted wide attention due to its bioactive effects such as cardiovascular protection, analgesia, anti-inflammation, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and weight loss. However, capsaicin is metabolized rapidly in the body, with a half-life in humans of only 25 minutes, which limits the exertion of its biological activity. In addition, due to the strong irritation of capsaicin, direct oral administration may cause oral inflammation, gastric ulcers, and gastrointestinal spasms, limiting its scope of application. Metformin hydrochloride is a commonly used drug for treating type 2 diabetes. In the present invention, capsaicin and metformin hydrochloride are made into a medicament, which has a good sustained-release effect and low irritation to the stomach, and has a good market prospect.

The taken samples were quickly frozen with liquid nitrogen and then freeze-dried. 0.2 mL of deionized water was added to the obtained powder, and it was vortexed for 30 s to extract the metformin hydrochloride released from the medicament; after centrifugation (10,000 Xg, 10 min), the metformin hydrochloride content in the supernatant was determined by liquid chromatography method, and the release rate was calculated according to The results are shown in Table 2.
[0024] Table 1 ; Table 2 ; From the comparison of the experimental data of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in Tables 1 and 2, it can be found that the medicament for treating diabetes prepared by the present invention has a good sustained-release effect.
[0025] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 is that capsaicin was directly added without encapsulating capsaicin in the sustained-release microspheres. By comparison, the 4-h release rate and 8-h release rate of Comparative Example 1 in Table 1 are greater than those of Example 2, indicating that the capsaicin sustained-release microspheres were prepared by reacting a mixture solution of thiol-modified chitosan, zein and capsaicin.

[0026] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 is that metformin hydrochloride was directly added without encapsulating metformin hydrochloride in the microspheres prepared from gelatin and hydroxyethyl cellulose. By comparison, the 4-h release rate and 8-h release rate of Comparative Example 2 in Table 2 are greater than those of Example 2, indicating that encapsulating metformin hydrochloride with gelatin and hydroxyethyl cellulose effectively improves the sustained-release effect of the medicament for treating diabetes.
[0027] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 2 is that the tablets were not coated with the coating solution. By comparison, the release rate at 2 h in Tables 1 and 2 is greater than that in Example 2, indicating that the coating solution prepared from acrylic resin, triethyl citrate, and talc has a good coating effect.
