Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, specifically relating to the use of a composition in combination with sodium pentobarbital in the preparation of a drug for improving sleep, and the combined use of the drug for improving sleep. Background Technology
[0002] Sleep is a crucial process for the body's repair and recovery. During sleep, the body undergoes cell repair, tissue growth, and the removal of metabolic waste. Insufficient sleep can lead to poor concentration, impaired judgment, increased error rates and accident risks, and negatively impact work efficiency and productivity. Studies have shown that chronic sleep deprivation increases the risk of various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Sleep deprivation can also affect metabolic function, increasing the risk of weight gain and obesity. With the fast pace of modern life and increased mental stress, the incidence of sleep disorders is rising year by year. Currently, while commonly used hypnotic drugs can quickly improve sleep, long-term use can easily lead to side effects such as dependence and memory loss. For example, sodium pentobarbital has sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects, but it can cause drowsiness, fatigue, and memory loss. Therefore, finding natural, safe, and effective sleep-aiding ingredients has become a research hotspot.
[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers certain benefits in improving sleep, particularly in regulating the nervous system, improving sleep quality, and overall well-being. For example, components of TCM such as jujube seed and schisandra fruit can regulate neurotransmitters and improve sleep disorders; while wolfberry and angelica can help adjust the biological clock and promote a normal sleep-wake cycle. However, current research on TCM's ability to improve sleep largely relies on subjective evaluations, lacking standardized objective indicators to assess efficacy. Furthermore, the diversity of TCM formulas and combinations of different prescriptions and herbs can lead to significant differences in efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a TCM composition with a clearly defined sleep-aiding effect and mechanism of action for highly effective sleep promotion. Summary of the Invention

[0080] 1.1.3 Dose setting
[0081] Each batch of animals was randomly divided into 9 groups according to body weight: A: Negative control group (distilled water); B: Positive control group (miannadoning 267 mg / kg); C: Traditional Chinese medicine extract group (polygonatum enzymolysis extract: polygonatum odoratum extract: spina date extract: poria cocos extract = 2:1:1:1; 300, 150, 150, 150 mg / kg); D: Mixed probiotics group (750 mg / kg); E: Protein peptide group (casein hydrolyzate: fish collagen peptide = 3:2; 450, 300 mg / kg); F: Traditional Chinese medicine extract + mixed probiotics group (1:1; 375, 375 mg / kg); G: Traditional Chinese medicine extract + protein peptide group (1:1; 375, 375 mg / kg); H: Protein peptide + mixed probiotics group (1:1; 375, 375 mg / kg); I: Traditional Chinese medicine extract + mixed probiotics group + protein peptide group (1:1:1; 250, 250, 250 mg / kg).
[0082] 1.2 Experimental methods
[0083] 1.2.1 General observation
[0084] Observe the hair color, behavior, and mental state of the mice every day, analyze for abnormalities, and weigh them before and after each experiment: Observe the changes in body weight.
[0085] 1.2.2 Effects of different doses of pentobarbital sodium on the sleep incidence and sleep time of mice
[0086] Sixty male KM mice, 10 in each group. Inject pentobarbital sodium solution into the mice intraperitoneally at gradient doses of 3, 5, 40, 45, 50, 55 mg / kg respectively, and measure the effects of pentobarbital sodium on the incidence and sleep time of mice at different doses
[0087] 1.2.3 Effects of different groups on the direct sleep of mice
[0088] Ninety male KM mice were randomly divided into nine groups (grouping as described in section 1.1.3), with ten mice in each group. Each group was administered a different drug solution via gavage once daily at a dose of 0.1 ml / 10 g for 30 consecutive days. Daily food intake was recorded, and the mice were weighed every seven days with free access to food and water. The presence of sleep was observed after drug administration. Sleep was defined as the disappearance of the righting reflex; if the mouse could not right itself for more than 60 seconds, the righting reflex was considered absent, confirming sleep. The return of the righting reflex indicated awakening. The period from the disappearance to the return of the righting reflex was considered sleep time. The number of mice falling asleep and the duration of sleep were recorded for each group. Sleep latency was calculated by subtracting the injection time from the onset of sleep, and sleep duration was calculated by subtracting the onset time from the end of sleep.
[0089] 1.2.4 Effects of different groups on sleep latency and sleep duration in mice taking subthreshold doses of sodium pentobarbital
[0090] Following the grouping criteria in 1.1.3 and the intraperitoneal injection of 33 mg / kg sodium pentobarbital 30 min after the last administration, the number of animals falling asleep in each group was recorded to observe the effect of each group on the incidence of sleep in mice with subthreshold doses of sodium pentobarbital.
[0091] 1.2.5 Effects of different groups on the sleep latency and sleep duration of sodium pentobarbital
[0092] Following the grouping and administration guidelines in 1.1.3, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg / kg sodium pentobarbital 1 hour after the last administration.

[0097]
[0098] 1.3.2 Effects of different doses of sodium pentobarbital on the incidence and duration of sleep in mice
[0099] The optimal dose of sodium pentobarbital was determined by inducing 100% sleep in mice; the threshold dose determined in this experiment was 50 mg / kg. The maximum subthreshold dose of sodium pentobarbital is the sedative dose at which 80%-90% of mice do not lose their righting reflex; the maximum subthreshold dose determined in this experiment was 33 mg / kg. See Table 2.

[0101]
[0102] 1.3.3 Effects of different groups on direct sleep in mice
[0103] The experimental results showed that none of the mice in the direct sleep experiment fell asleep, indicating that none of the test substances and combinations had a direct hypnotic effect, as shown in Table 3.
[0104] Table 3 Direct Sleep Experiments in Different Groups
[0105]
[0106] 1.3.4 Subthreshold dose hypnotic experiment with sodium pentobarbital
[0107] In the subthreshold dose experiment of sodium pentobarbital, when the sodium pentobarbital dosage was 33 mg / kg, the positive control group (Group B) had the highest sleep onset rate (70%), followed by the combination group of three (Group I) (60%), the traditional Chinese medicine + probiotic group (Group F) had 50%, the traditional Chinese medicine extract group (Group C) and the mixed probiotic group (Group D) both had 40%, and the sleep onset rate of the remaining groups was low (20%-30%), as shown in Table 4.
[0108] Further analysis of the data in Table 4 reveals that, compared to the blank control group (Group A), the sleep onset rate of the Chinese herbal extract group (Group C) and the mixed probiotic group (Group D) both increased by 20%. However, the sleep onset rate of the Chinese herbal extract + probiotic group (Group F) increased by 30% at the same dosage, indicating that the combination of Chinese herbal extract and probiotics produced a 1+1>2 effect. The sleep onset rate of the protein peptide group (Group E) remained unchanged compared to Group A, but the sleep onset rate of the Chinese herbal extract + probiotics + protein peptide group (Group I) increased by 40% at the same dosage, indicating that the combination of Chinese herbal extract, probiotics and protein peptides produced a 1+1+1>3 effect.

[0110]
[0111] 1.3.5 Effects of suprathreshold doses of sodium pentobarbital on sleep latency and sleep duration in mice
[0112] In the suprathreshold dose experiment of sodium pentobarbital, when the sodium pentobarbital dosage was 50 mg / kg, compared with the blank control group (Group A), the sleep latency of Groups B, C, E, G, H, and I was significantly shortened (P < 0.05), and the sleep time of Groups B, C, G, H, and I was significantly prolonged (P < 0.05). Among them, Group B had the longest sleep time (218.45 ± 80.62 min), followed by Group I (205.68 ± 78.35 min), and Group C had a sleep time of 189.57 ± 82.46 min. This indicates that the extract of traditional Chinese medicine alone or in combination with other components (especially the combination of the three) has a good hypnotic effect, and the effect of the combination of the three is close to that of the positive drug, as shown in Table 5.

[0116] 2. Discussion
[0117] Sodium pentobarbital is a barbiturate drug with sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects. However, it may cause central nervous system depression symptoms such as drowsiness, fatigue, and memory loss, and its hypnotic effect weakens with long-term use. Therefore, it is mainly used clinically for short-term treatment of insomnia. Using subthreshold doses of sodium pentobarbital can reduce side effects, but the corresponding efficacy is poor. To reduce the dosage of sodium pentobarbital while improving efficacy, this invention systematically explored the sleep-aiding potential of traditional Chinese medicine extracts (such as Polygonatum sibiricum and Polygonatum odoratum), mixed probiotics, and protein peptides, both alone and in combination, using SPF-grade KM male mice.
[0118] Animal experiments showed that the composition of this invention exhibited a significant synergistic sleep-aiding effect when used in combination with sodium pentobarbital. Specifically, the combination of the traditional Chinese medicine composition and probiotics resulted in a higher sleep onset rate in mice compared to either ingredient alone, producing a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2). Furthermore, the addition of protein peptides, which had no effect on sleep onset rate, further increased the sleep onset rate at the same dosage, demonstrating that the combination of the traditional Chinese medicine composition, probiotics, and protein peptides produced a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1+1>3). In the subthreshold dose experiment, the combination of the traditional Chinese medicine composition, probiotics, and protein peptides achieved a sleep onset rate of 60%, close to the positive control group (70%). In the suprathreshold dose experiment, this combination not only significantly shortened the sleep latency but also extended the sleep duration to 205.68±78.35 min, an effect close to that of the positive control drug melatonin (218.45±80.62 min).
[0119] The mechanism of action of the composition of this invention is analyzed as follows: This invention is a natural ingredient combination composed of traditional Chinese medicine extracts, mixed probiotics, and protein peptides. Its core competitiveness lies in its breakthrough of traditional hypnotic logic: it does not rely on a forced intervention mode that directly inhibits the central nervous system, but rather exerts its effect through the synergistic regulation of multiple components. Specifically, the traditional Chinese medicine extracts may lay the foundation for sleep by regulating the balance of neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid); the mixed probiotics optimize the central nervous environment through the "gut-brain axis"; and the protein peptides assist in the transmission of nerve signals—the three form a multi-target synergistic effect, which not only avoids the physiological risks that may be brought about by direct hypnosis, but also makes the sleep-aiding effect more stable and more in line with the human body's physiological rhythms through synergistic doubling effect. Compared with single components, this mode can improve the sleep onset rate and prolong the sleep time, and the effect is close to that of clinical drugs but without the side effects of dependence, highlighting the core advantages of "safety and high efficiency".
