TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine compositions, in particular to an extraction method and application of a traditional Chinese medicine composition for tonifying qi and activating blood. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine compositions for tonifying qi and activating blood are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially for heart failure. They can tonify qi to enhance the pumping capacity of the heart, activate blood to improve blood circulation, and relieve symptoms such as fatigue, chest tightness, and palpitations, which is in line with the treatment concept of "harmonizing qi and blood" in traditional Chinese medicine. Heart failure is a common clinical severe disease, and patients often show decreased cardiac function and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Current treatments rely on western medicines such as cardiotonic, diuretic, and vasodilator drugs, but long-term use can easily lead to drug resistance and side effects, and it is difficult to fundamentally improve the pathological state of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine compositions for tonifying qi and activating blood that have both efficacy and safety have become a research focus.
[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine compositions for tonifying qi and activating blood are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially for heart failure. They can tonify qi to enhance the pumping capacity of the heart, activate blood to improve blood circulation, and relieve symptoms such as fatigue, chest tightness, and palpitations, which is in line with the treatment concept of "harmonizing qi and blood" in traditional Chinese medicine. Heart failure is a common clinical severe disease, and patients often show decreased cardiac function and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Current treatments rely on western medicines such as cardiotonic, diuretic, and vasodilator drugs, but long-term use can easily lead to drug resistance and side effects, and it is difficult to fundamentally improve the pathological state of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine compositions for tonifying qi and activating blood that have both efficacy and safety have become a research focus.
[0004] In the effective component extraction stage, the traditional method mainly uses water decoction, which has the problems of high extraction temperature and long extraction time, which can easily damage heat-sensitive active ingredients. Moreover, the impurity content in the extraction liquid is high, and the subsequent purification is difficult. Some processes try single enzyme hydrolysis or ultrasonic extraction, but the single enzyme selection cannot synergistically degrade cellulose, pectin, and other cell wall components, and the enzyme hydrolysis efficiency is limited. The ultrasonic extraction parameters lack precise control, leading to uneven dissolution of active ingredients and poor stability of extraction effect. At the same time, the traditional process does not introduce active synergists and stabilizers, resulting in low active ingredient content and poor stability of the finished product, which is prone to oxidative degradation during storage and affects the efficacy.
[0005] There are also defects in the purification and drying links: traditional purification mostly uses simple filtration or alcohol precipitation, which cannot effectively remove polysaccharides, proteins, and other impurities, resulting in low purity of the extract. Drying mostly uses hot air drying at normal pressure, which has high temperature and long drying time, easily leading to clumping of the extract and further loss of active ingredients. In addition, the existing traditional Chinese medicine composition preparation process lacks standardized quality control means, and the key links such as raw material ratio and extraction parameters fluctuate greatly, resulting in poor consistency of the finished product quality and difficulty in meeting the strict requirements of drug production.
[0006] At the application level, the traditional Yiqi Huoxue traditional Chinese medicine composition is mostly in the form of powder or decoction, the dosage form is single, the patient's convenience is poor, and the application of heart failure disease lacks clear indication definition and clinical data support, and it is difficult to accurately match the treatment needs of specific heart failure population such as NYHA cardiac function classification II-III and left ventricular ejection fraction <45%. In summary, the existing Yiqi Huoxue traditional Chinese medicine composition has short boards in raw material processing, extraction efficiency, purification effect, dosage form optimization and clinical application targeting, and it is urgent to develop an extraction method with precise process, strict quality control, stable efficacy and adaptation to heart failure treatment, so as to promote the high-quality application of Yiqi Huoxue traditional Chinese medicine in the field of cardiovascular disease treatment.

[0018] (3) Beneficial technical effects Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Differentiated pretreatment processes are designed based on the characteristics of different medicinal materials. Low-temperature freeze-drying of red ginseng maximizes the retention of heat-sensitive active ingredients such as ginsenosides. Supercritical CO2 extraction pretreatment of salvia miltiorrhiza, Chuanxiong, and Panax notoginseng disrupts the cell wall structure and promotes the subsequent dissolution of active ingredients. Stir-frying Atractylodes macrocephala with bran enhances its dampness-removing effect. Steam fixation and drying of Astragalus membranaceus, Pueraria lobata, and Ophiopogon japonicus reduces the introduction of impurities. These differentiated pretreatments ensure more complete retention of each medicinal material's active ingredients, laying the foundation for subsequent efficient extraction and addressing the issues of rough raw material processing and severe active ingredient loss associated with traditional processes.
[0019] 2. The synergistic effect of combined enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrasonic extraction: multiple enzymes collaborate to degrade cell wall components, while ultrasound assists in improving dissolution efficiency. Precise control of enzymatic hydrolysis temperature, pH, and ultrasonic power and frequency ensures uniform dissolution of active ingredients. The addition of active enhancers enhances the overall biological activity of the extract, while stabilizers improve the stability of the active ingredients and prevent oxidative degradation. The purification stage utilizes a combination of microfiltration membranes and macroporous resin chromatography, precisely controlling sample loading and elution flow rates to effectively remove impurities and enhance extract purity, addressing the issues of low extraction efficiency, poor purification results, and high impurity content in the finished product.
[0020] 3. Combining vacuum concentration with spray drying, by precisely controlling the relative density of the concentrate, the spray drying inlet and outlet air temperatures, and the atomization pressure, we avoid over-concentration or high-temperature damage to the extract. The resulting extract is uniform in particle size and free of agglomerates. Strict quality control of moisture and ash content ensures consistent quality of the finished product. Furthermore, standardized quality control nodes are implemented throughout the process, such as moisture content testing after raw material pretreatment, monitoring the active ingredient content of the extract, and testing the particle size and purity of the extract. This ensures consistent quality of the finished product, meets the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical production, and addresses the significant quality fluctuations associated with traditional processes.
[0021] 4. The resulting extract can be formulated into a variety of dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, and granules, enhancing patient convenience. It is specifically indicated for use in specific heart failure populations, such as those with NYHA class II-III heart function and ventricular ejection fractions <45%, hypertensive heart disease, and cor pulmonale, making clinical applications more targeted. Furthermore, the entire process boasts precise and controllable parameters, reasonable energy consumption, and a balance of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This not only enhances the efficacy and stability of the Qi-invigorating and blood-activating Chinese medicine composition, but also provides reliable technical support for its industrial production and clinical application, demonstrating significant technological advancement and practical application value.
