Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating menopausal syndrome, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Menopausal syndrome (MPS) refers to a series of complex and diverse physical and mental symptoms that occur in women before and after menopause due to fluctuations or decreases in sex hormone levels. It is a common and frequently occurring disease in women during the transition period from reproductive age to old age.

[0003] With the rapid development of modern productivity and economic levels, women are playing increasingly important social roles in both work and life, while also shouldering greater pressure. Coupled with the aging population, the incidence of MPS is increasing year by year. Over 85% of women experience a range of MPS symptoms by a certain age, including varying degrees of hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, palpitations, dizziness, irritability, and bone loss. In later stages, these symptoms may be accompanied by significant osteoporosis, cognitive impairment, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and even serious events such as fractures and cardiovascular events.

[0004] Although menopause is a physiological process, the range of clinical symptoms it causes is often severe and long-lasting. Many of these symptoms disrupt normal life and work, pose significant long-term risks and hazards, and severely impact women's physical and mental health and quality of life. Improving the quality of life of perimenopausal women has been listed as one of the three major health priorities of the 21st century. MPS not only affects individuals physically and mentally but also impacts family harmony. Severe MPS and its long-term consequences impose a significant social burden, impacting national economic growth, social development, and stability. Therefore, preventing and treating MPS is of vital importance to women, their families, and society, and scientific management of the large population of women experiencing perimenopause is of paramount importance.

[0005] Many women with MPS are hesitant to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) due to concerns and fear of hormones. Currently, HRT is the most commonly used Western medicine treatment for MPS, but it carries various disadvantages and adverse reactions. Long-term treatment, in particular, can increase the risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial hyperplasia, stroke, and venous thromboembolism. Furthermore, some women with MPS have contraindications to HRT. Therefore, HRT also has limitations.

[0006] Non-hormonal methods for treating MPS can benefit patients who are unable to receive hormone therapy, but to date, existing non-hormonal treatments are not ideal, so it is urgent to find a safe and effective treatment for MPS. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating menopausal syndrome and its preparation method and application, which has solved the problems in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0009] The invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating menopausal syndrome. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-10 parts of curculigo, 5-10 parts of epimedium, 15-30 parts of Morinda officinalis, 10-20 parts of angelica, 5-10 parts of anemarrhena, 5-10 parts of phellodendron, 60-100 parts of raw oyster, 30-50 parts of tortoise shell, 10-20 parts of cassia twig, 10-20 parts of white peony root, 10-20 parts of roasted liquorice root, 10-20 parts of jujube and 10-20 parts of ginger.

[0010] MPS is classified as a perimenopausal syndrome in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ancient medical texts lack dedicated chapters on this condition, often referring to it as a symptom of "visceral agitation," "lily disease," and "mellow hemorrhage in the elderly." The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states, "At the age of 49, a woman's Ren meridian becomes weak, her Taichong meridian weakens, her Tiangui (or celestial essence) is depleted, and her earthly passages become blocked, leading to physical deterioration and childlessness." The 49th month is the age when menstruation ceases. The kidneys are the "foundation of innate constitution." When kidney qi is abundant, Tiangui (or celestial essence) arrives; when kidney qi is weak, Tiangui (or celestial essence) is depleted, and when menstruation ceases, this indicates that the fundamental pathogenesis of MPS in women is kidney deficiency.

[0011] Professor Luo Yuankai of Lingnan Luo's Gynecology believes that the pathogenesis of this disease is kidney deficiency (primarily kidney yin deficiency), but he also believes that kidney yang deficiency also exists. Both kidney yin and yang are deficient, and imbalance of yin and yang is a key pathogenesis of this disease. Research has found that yang deficiency has become a very common physical imbalance among modern people. As women age, kidney essence and qi gradually deplete, and physiologically, yang qi gradually declines from abundance. Furthermore, modern people's habit of eating raw and cold foods (fruits, cold drinks), or their poor lifestyle (staying up late, using air conditioning excessively), can damage yang qi and lead to kidney yang deficiency. Because yin and yang are interdependent, an imbalance in the kidneys can affect yin, leading to kidney yin deficiency. Over time, this leads to a state of both kidney yin and yang deficiency. Ying is yin, while Wei is yang. Under normal circumstances, Wei (from the exterior) descends inward, while Ying (from the interior) ascends outward. This continuous circulation maintains a harmonious balance between Ying and Wei. However, once the body is disturbed by internal or external factors, this dynamic balance is disrupted, leading to imbalances in Ying and Wei, and a myriad of illnesses can arise. As the degree of kidney deficiency and depletion of Tiangui increases, the previous situation of balanced Yin and Yang, and harmonious Ying and Wei is broken, and the Ying and Wei become uncoordinated.

[0012] Therefore, based on the above theory, the present invention proposes that the pathogenesis of MPS in modern women is "kidney deficiency and imbalance of the Ying and Wei systems," establishing a treatment approach of "tonifying the kidney and regulating the Ying and Wei systems." The inventors independently formulated the Chinese herbal composition described herein for the treatment of menopausal syndrome. The decoction prepared from this composition is named Guixian Decoction and has been transformed into an in-hospital preparation, Guixian Mixture. This will not only overcome the inconveniences of traditional decoctions in terms of administration and portability, but also lay the foundation for its widespread clinical application, promote the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment options, and thus benefit more patients and enhance therapeutic efficacy.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drug is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-9 parts of Curculigo, 5-9 parts of Epimedium, 15-25 parts of Morinda officinalis, 10-19 parts of Angelica sinensis, 5-9 parts of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, 5-9 parts of Phellodendron chinense, 60-90 parts of raw oyster, 30-45 parts of tortoise shell, 10-18 parts of cinnamon twig, 10-19 parts of white peony root, 10-19 parts of roasted liquorice, 10-18 parts of jujube, and 10-15 parts of ginger.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the amount of water is 5 to 7 times the amount of the raw material drug in the traditional Chinese medicine composition.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the extraction method is selected from any one of a decoction method, a heating reflux method, or an ultrasonic extraction method.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the decoction method comprises: soaking the raw material drug in 5 to 7 times the amount of water for 20 to 35 minutes, boiling over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, and then simmering over low heat for 1 hour to 1.5 hours, and decocting 2 to 3 times.

[0019] The present invention also provides a medicine for treating menopausal syndrome, wherein the medicine uses the traditional Chinese medicine composition as an active ingredient.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drug further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include one or more of flavoring agents, preservatives, diluents, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, fragrances, excipients, wetting agents, capsule materials, plasticizers, opacifiers, colorants, coating materials, antioxidants, solubilizers, or suspending agents.

[0022] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the flavoring agent is selected from one or more of sucrose, honey, steviol glycosides, and aspartame.

[0023] The preservatives include one or more of benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, and potassium sorbate; the diluents include one or more of lactose, sucrose, starch, dextrin, and mannitol; the binders include one or more of povidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and starch slurry; the disintegrants include one or more of sodium carboxymethyl starch, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid; the lubricants include one or more of magnesium stearate, micropowdered silica gel, talc, and stearic acid; the fragrances include one or more of tangerine peel volatile oil, menthol, borneol, and essence; the excipients The agent includes one or more of honey, rice paste, flour paste, water, and medicinal juice; the capsule material includes gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; the plasticizer includes glycerol or sorbitol; the sunscreen includes one or more of titanium dioxide, iron oxides, zinc oxide, and barium sulfate; the coating material includes a sugar coating or a film coating; the antioxidant includes one or more of sodium sulfite, vitamin C, sodium thiosulfate, and propyl gallate; the solubilizer includes one or more of polysorbate 80, poloxamer, and lecithin; and the suspending agent includes one or more of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arabic, glycerol, and gelatin.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dosage form of the drug is a decoction, granules, pills, capsules, tablets, powders or oral liquids.

[0025] The present invention also provides the use of the traditional Chinese medicine composition in preparing medicine for treating menopausal syndrome.

[0026] The compatibility relationship in the Chinese medicine composition is as follows:

[0027] Main medicines: Curculigo orchioides, Epimedium brevicornum, Morinda officinalis, and cinnamon twig.

[0028] Assistant medicines: angelica, oyster, tortoise shell, white peony root.

[0029] Auxiliary drugs: Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Phellodendron chinense.

[0030] Auxiliary medicines: roasted licorice, jujube, and ginger.

[0031] The traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by the present invention is a self-developed formula. Based on the pathogenesis of MPS (muscular stagnation syndrome) characterized by "kidney deficiency and imbalance of nutrient and defensive systems," the inventors established a "tonifying the kidney and regulating nutrient and defensive systems" treatment approach. In the formula, Curculigo, Epimedium, and Morinda officinalis nourish kidney essence and warm kidney yang. Sufficient kidney essence, under the warming effect of kidney yang, transforms qi into yin. Combined with Chinese Angelica sinensis, it nourishes and replenishes blood, emphasizing the principle that "essence and blood share the same origin." Anemarrhena and Phellodendron amurense nourish yin and moisten dryness, preventing excessive warming and drying effects from the warming yang agents. The entire formula works to tonify the kidney's nutrient and defensive systems, replenishing the deficiencies in the kidneys of MPS patients. In the formula, cinnamon twig promotes yang and regulates defensive systems, while white peony root astringes yin and harmonizes nutrient and defensive systems. This approach integrates external and internal functions, balancing nutrient and defensive systems. Roasted licorice root invigorates qi and harmonizes the middle, and, together with cinnamon twig's pungent and sweet properties for yang transformation and white peony root's sour and sweet properties for yin transformation, jujube nourishes the middle and assists white peony root in yin. Ginger warms the stomach and assists cinnamon twig in promoting yang. The modified herb turtle shell nourishes yin and suppresses yang, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bones, renowned for its ability to replenish true yin. "Those who are adept at replenishing yang must seek yang within yin; yang, aided by yin, will thrive." Adding turtle shell to yang-tonifying herbs has the virtue of promoting yang and strengthening yin. Raw oysters can calm, consolidate, and soothe the mind, allowing yang to be consolidated and yin to be internalized. Combining them with cassia twigs, as recorded in the "Jiangxueyuan Ancient Prescriptions Selection and Annotation," states: "The stubborn and pure nature of oysters is potent when combined with cassia twigs." Oysters benefit from the cassia twigs to prevent the suppression of yang. These herbs combined can either "seek yang within yin" or "seek yin within yang," achieving "balanced yin and yang, harmonious yin and wei."

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The traditional Chinese medicine composition of the present invention has the efficacy of tonifying yin and yang and harmonizing the Ying and Wei systems. Clinical trials have shown that this traditional Chinese medicine composition can reduce and improve the KI score and hot flash score in patients with menopausal syndrome. Its efficacy in improving clinical symptoms is non-inferior to that of climonadine, and its safety is superior to that of climonadine. It comprehensively improves the quality of life and life expectancy of patients and is worthy of clinical promotion.

[0034] Compared with hormone replacement therapy, the Chinese medicine composition for treating menopause provided by the present invention has the advantages of multi-target action, mild efficacy and few side effects, and has become a popular treatment for MPS.

[0035] The present invention also found that the use of the Chinese medicine composition of the present invention can improve the blood lipid metabolism of the menopausal syndrome rat model, effectively reduce the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in the menopausal syndrome rat model, and increase the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level. In addition, the use of a high dose (1.5 to 3.0 times the recommended dose of the Chinese medicine composition provided by the present invention) of the Chinese medicine composition has a significant advantage in regulating blood lipids compared to a lower dose (0.5 to 1.5 times the recommended dose of the Chinese medicine composition provided by the present invention).

[0118] The treatment group was orally administered the Chinese medicine composition provided in Example 1 of the present invention, which was uniformly decocted and distributed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (called Guixian Mixture), one dose per day, 1 hour after breakfast.

[0119] (2) Treatment course

[0120] One course of treatment is 21 days of continuous medication, followed by 7 days of discontinuation (treatment interruption period), for a total of 3 courses of treatment.

[0121] (3) Observation items and testing time points

[0122] ① Baseline data collection: menopausal status, number of births, number of miscarriages, education level, marital status, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, etc.

[0123] ②Main efficacy indicator: modified Kupperman Index score (KI score)

[0124] ③Safety evaluation indicators: blood routine, liver function, kidney function, urine composition, electrocardiogram, breast color Doppler ultrasound and uterine adnexa color Doppler ultrasound.

[0125] Note: KI score, blood routine, liver function, and kidney function tests were performed within 7 days before the first dose, within 7 days after the first course of treatment, and within 7 days after the third course of treatment, for a total of 3 scores. Urine combination, electrocardiogram, breast ultrasound, and uterine adnexa ultrasound were performed within 7 days before the first dose of treatment and within 7 days after the third course of treatment, for a total of 2 tests. The test time points are as described in Table 1:

[0126] Table 1 Detection time points of different observation items

[0127]

[0128] Note: “-” in the table means that the item does not exist.

[0129] (4) Efficacy and safety evaluation standards

[0130] 1) Clinical efficacy evaluation criteria

[0131] Refer to the "Guidelines for Clinical Research on New Traditional Chinese Medicines for the Treatment of Menopausal Syndrome in Women" formulated and issued in 1997.

[0132] ① Recovery: Clinical symptoms disappear and physical and chemical examination results return to corresponding levels.

[0133] ② Markedly effective: Symptoms improved significantly, and physical and chemical examination results basically returned to the corresponding level.

[0134] ③Effective: Symptoms have improved and physical and chemical examination results have improved.

[0135] ④ Ineffective: Symptoms, signs, and physical and chemical indicators did not improve or worsened.

[0136] 2) Symptom improvement assessment criteria

[0137] The Kupperman Index, a domestically modified scoring method, was used to compare the changes in scores before and after treatment between and within the groups to assess the degree of symptom improvement. The total score was the sum of all symptom scores.

[0138] Modified Kupperman Index score: Perimenopause index score = basic score × severity score

[0139] Therapeutic index (n) = (score before treatment - score after treatment) ÷ score before treatment × 100%

[0140] ① Symptom efficacy evaluation criteria:

[0141] Recovery: clinical symptoms disappear, n ≥ 90%

[0142] Markedly effective: clinical symptoms improved significantly, 70≤n<90%

[0143] Effective: Clinical symptoms improved, 30%≤n<70%

[0144] Ineffective: No significant changes in clinical symptoms before and after treatment, n<30%

[0145] Disease severity: mild: 15-20 points; moderate: 21-35 points; severe: >35 points.

[0146] Scoring method: The symptom severity is multiplied by the symptom index, and the total score ranges from 0 to 63 points.

[0147] ②Symptom index:

[0148] Hot flashes and sweating: 4;

[0149] Paresthesia, insomnia, irritability, dyspareunia, urinary symptoms: 2;

[0150] Other symptoms: 1.

[0151] The severity of symptoms is divided into 0 to 3 points: no symptoms, 0 points; occasional symptoms, 1 point; symptoms that continue, 2 points; and symptoms that affect life, 3 points.

[0152] 3) Criteria for determining efficacy of TCM

[0153] ① Clinical recovery: The clinical symptoms of kidney yin and yang deficiency disappear, the physical signs disappear or basically disappear, and the symptom score decreases by ≥95%.

[0154] ② Markedly effective: The clinical symptoms and signs of kidney yin and yang deficiency syndrome were significantly improved, and the symptom score was reduced by ≥70%.

[0155] ③Effective: The clinical symptoms and signs of kidney yin and yang deficiency syndrome are improved, and the symptom score is reduced by ≥30%.

[0156] ④ Ineffective: The clinical symptoms and signs of kidney yin and yang deficiency syndrome have no obvious improvement or even worsen, and the symptom score is reduced by less than 30%.

[0157] Note: The calculation formula (nimodipine method) is: ﹛(score before treatment - score after treatment) ÷ score before treatment﹜×100%.

[0158] (3) Other indicators

[0159] Blood routine and liver and kidney function tests were analyzed according to the normal range of our hospital. Breast ultrasound and uterine adnexa color Doppler ultrasound were analyzed based on the results of B-ultrasound.

[0160] 2. Results

[0161] This study enrolled 100 patients with menopausal syndrome, with 50 in the experimental group and 50 in the control group. One patient in the control group was excluded. During treatment, 10 patients in the experimental group and 9 in the control group dropped out, resulting in a total of 40 patients in the experimental group and 40 patients in the control group. Therefore, the full analysis set for statistical analysis included 50 patients in the experimental group and 49 patients in the control group, and the per-protocol set included 40 patients in the experimental group and 40 patients in the control group.

[0162] (1) Baseline data

[0163] Per-protocol set (PP): The baseline data of the two groups were balanced and there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Menopausal status, number of births, number of miscarriages, education level, and marital status were count data, and the chi-square test was used. 2 Waist-to-hip ratio was normally distributed, and the t-test was used. Body mass index was not normally distributed, and the Mann-Whitney rank sum test was used. Baseline data, test statistics, and P values for the two groups are shown in Table 2.

[0171] 3. Main analysis results and inferences

[0172] (1) KI scoring

[0173] Per-protocol set (PP): Paired t-tests compared the pre- and post-treatment KI scores within the two groups (see Table 4) and showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05), indicating that both the experimental and control groups significantly reduced KI scores after treatment compared with pre-treatment. T-tests compared the pre- and post-treatment KI scores between the two groups and the difference in KI scores between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05), indicating that the two groups were well-balanced before treatment and that there was no significant difference in the efficacy of the experimental group in improving KI scores after treatment. A non-inferiority test of the pre- and post-treatment KI scores between the two groups (see Table 5) showed that the efficacy of the experimental group in improving KI scores was no less than that of the control group (P < 0.05).

[0187] (2) Three sex hormones

[0188] Per-Protocol Set (PP): The Wilcoxon rank sum test compared the three sex hormone levels (FSH, LH, and E2) before and after treatment between the two groups (see Tables 8-10). There was no statistical difference in the experimental group (P>0.05), while there was a statistical difference in the control group (P<0.05). This indicates that compared with pre-treatment, the control group had a significant improvement in sex hormone levels after treatment, while the experimental group had no significant improvement in sex hormone levels after treatment. The Mann-Whitney rank sum test showed no statistical difference between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05), indicating that the two groups were well-balanced before treatment. After treatment, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05), indicating that the control group can significantly reduce FSH and LH levels and increase E2 levels in patients with menopausal syndrome.

[0209] (3) Adverse events (all adverse events that occurred during the study and detailed treatment process)

[0210] In this trial, there were no serious adverse events and 19 adverse events. A total of 4 patients in the experimental group experienced adverse reactions before and after treatment, including 3 with mild epigastric distension and pain (all 3 continued to take the medication for observation, and the symptoms gradually subsided after the patient was instructed to take small, repeated doses of warm Chinese herbal decoction). One patient developed loose stools and mild abdominal distension and pain (the patient requested discontinuation of the treatment after the symptoms did not subside despite repeated doses of warm Chinese herbal decoction). The remaining subjects showed no significant abnormalities in blood analysis, urine composition, liver and kidney function, electrocardiogram, uterine adnexa color Doppler ultrasound, or breast color Doppler ultrasound. A total of 15 patients in the control group experienced adverse reactions before and after treatment, including 8 with irregular vaginal bleeding (7 resolved after continued medication observation, and 1 was lost to follow-up), 1 with palpitations (the patient requested discontinuation), 1 with dry mouth (the patient continued medication observation and was advised to drink plenty of water), 1 with headache (the patient requested discontinuation), 2 with enlarged breast nodules (one patient completed the course of treatment and was reexamined and advised to consult a breast specialist; the other patient requested discontinuation), 1 with epigastric distension and pain during treatment (gradually alleviated after continued medication observation), and 1 with mild elevations in creatinine and urea (elevated levels after completion of the course of treatment; the patient was advised to reexamine 1 week later). No significant abnormalities were found in the remaining subjects' blood analysis, urine composition, liver and kidney function, electrocardiogram, uterine adnexa color Doppler ultrasound, or breast color Doppler ultrasound. Adverse events were recorded on the CRF form. Once the subject reported the adverse event to the researcher, the treatment of the subject was determined and the adverse reaction was recorded. Changes in adverse reactions were monitored continuously after treatment. The incidence of adverse reactions in patients with perimenopausal syndrome after treatment was compared using the chi-square test. 2 Test (see Table 14), χ 2 =8.159, P=0.004<0.05, the difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups was statistically significant, indicating that the incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was lower than that in the positive control group.
