Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular, relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for relieving chemotherapy vomiting and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chemotherapy is an important means of comprehensive treatment for advanced malignant tumors. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is the most common gastrointestinal toxic reaction to tumor chemotherapy, with an incidence as high as 70%-80%. In particular, highly emetogenic drugs such as cisplatin and cyclophosphamide can cause acute vomiting in over 90% of cases and delayed vomiting in over 50%. There are various types of vomiting, including acute (within 24 hours of chemotherapy), delayed (after 24 hours of chemotherapy), and anticipatory (induced by psychological factors). Frequent vomiting not only causes physiological complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and malnutrition, but also aggravates patients' anxiety and depression, and may even interrupt treatment due to fear of chemotherapy, seriously affecting the continuity and effectiveness of tumor treatment. According to statistics, approximately 30% of patients reduce chemotherapy doses or refuse subsequent treatment due to poor vomiting control, which has become one of the key bottlenecks restricting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

[0003] At present, the mainstream antiemetic regimen in clinical practice is mainly based on Western medicine, including the combined use of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (such as ondansetron), NK-1 receptor antagonists (such as aprepitant) and glucocorticoids (such as dexamethasone). Although the triple regimen can control 70%-80% of acute vomiting of highly emetogenic chemotherapy, the effect on delayed vomiting, expected vomiting and refractory vomiting is still not ideal, and about 20%-30% of patients have breakthrough vomiting. In addition, Western medicine antiemetic drugs are often accompanied by side effects such as headache, constipation, and dizziness, and long-term use may affect liver and kidney function. More importantly, the use of glucocorticoids may interfere with the effect of immunotherapy (such as PD-1 inhibitors). At present, with the diversification of tumor treatment modes, the problem of limited use is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, the development of antiemetic drugs that are not hormone-dependent, have few side effects, and have novel mechanisms of action has become an urgent clinical need.

[0004] The high incidence of chemotherapy-induced vomiting and the limitations of existing Western medicines highlight the urgency of developing traditional Chinese medicine. With its multi-target, individualized, low-toxic and safe characteristics, traditional Chinese medicine can not only make up for the shortcomings of Western medicine, but also improve the overall control level of CINV through an integrated medical model, providing cancer patients with better supportive treatment options. It has important clinical value and social significance, and traditional Chinese medicine is expected to bring new breakthroughs in the relief or control of CINV. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a Chinese medicine composition for relieving chemotherapy vomiting and a preparation method thereof in the art.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions to achieve the above-mentioned invention objectives:

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for relieving chemotherapy-induced vomiting.

[0008] Furthermore, the Chinese medicine composition is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-15 grams of Pinellia, 5-15 grams of dried tangerine peel, 25-35 grams of Poria, 1-11 grams of roasted licorice, 5-15 grams of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, 5-15 grams of Citrus aurantium, 5-15 grams of scorched Shenqu, and 5-15 grams of chicken's gizzard lining.

[0009] Furthermore, the Chinese medicine composition is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10 grams of Pinellia ternata, 10 grams of dried tangerine peel, 30 grams of Poria cocos, 6 grams of roasted licorice root, 10 grams of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, 10 grams of Citrus aurantium, 10 grams of scorched Shenqu, and 10 grams of chicken's gizzard lining.

[0010] In the composition of the pharmaceutical composition described above, the weight of the medicinal material is calculated based on the raw material, and the proportions are calculated in parts by weight. This proportion can be increased or decreased during production. For example, large-scale production can use kilograms or tons as the unit, while small-scale production can use grams or milligrams as the unit. While the weight can be increased or decreased, the weight ratios of the raw materials in each component remain unchanged. The above weight ratios are determined through scientific screening. For special patient needs, such as those with severe or mild illnesses, or those who are obese or thin, the proportions of the components can be adjusted accordingly, with increases or decreases not exceeding 100% without changing the efficacy.

[0011] In some embodiments, Jiao Shenqu (Scored Shenqu) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation made by frying Shenqu (Shenqu) until it turns a burnt brown. It is primarily used to help digestion, relieve stagnation, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Its efficacy is enhanced through fermentation and frying, and it is suitable for treating indigestion symptoms such as food stagnation and abdominal distension. Jiao Shenqu is based on Shenqu, which is fermented with flour and bran mixed with traditional Chinese medicines such as Polygonum hydropiper and Artemisia annua. Frying over medium heat until the surface is burnt brown and the interior is slightly yellow, it imparts a milder medicinal property and enhances its digestive properties.

[0012] In some embodiments, the chicken's gizzard lining is a Chinese medicinal material made from the dried inner wall of the gizzard of a chicken. It is sweet and mild in nature, and enters the spleen, stomach, small intestine, and bladder meridians. It has the effects of invigorating the stomach and promoting digestion, astringing spermatorrhea, stopping nocturnal emission, and relieving stranguria and dispelling urinary stones. It is widely used for indigestion, infantile malnutrition, nocturnal emission, and urinary calculi. Chicken's gizzard lining is taken from the inner wall of the stomach (gizzard) of a chicken, washed and dried after peeling. According to different processing methods, it is divided into raw chicken's gizzard lining and fried chicken's gizzard lining. The raw product is better than the raw product in relieving stranguria and dispelling urinary stones. After frying, it has better digestion and stomach-strengthening effects, and can reduce fishy smell, making it easy to take. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the chicken's gizzard lining is fried chicken's gizzard lining.

[0013] In the present invention, the present invention proves through Jin's method that the traditional Chinese medicine composition described in the first aspect of the present invention, which is composed of the original formula Wen Dan Tang and additives (scorched Shen Qu, chicken gizzard lining), has a synergistic therapeutic effect (CI>1.15) on relieving chemotherapy vomiting, that is, the traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by the present invention has achieved unexpected technical effects.

[0014] Among them, the King's method is a method that is widely used to calculate the combined efficacy of drugs. Taking drug A and drug B as an example, the drug effects of drug A and drug B are regarded as independent events, and the probability formula P is used. AB =P A +P B -P A *P B , and use this formula as the calculation formula E for the expected additive effect of combined drug use AB =E A +E B -E A *E B The ratio of the actual efficacy value to the calculated value of the formula is CI. The CI value between 0.85-1.15 is simple addition; between 1.15-20 is synergy, and >20 is significant synergy; the CI value between 0.85-0.55 is antagonism, and <0.55 is obvious antagonism.
