Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Apocynum venetum leaf technology, specifically to a patch for treating gout based on Apocynum venetum leaves and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Gout is a disease caused by abnormal uric acid metabolism, often manifesting as joint pain, swelling, and inflammation. Currently, most medications for gout are oral preparations, and long-term use may cause side effects on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. Modern separation and analysis show that Apocynum venetum leaves contain various components such as flavonoids, tannins, organic acids, saponins, and volatile oils, with flavonoids and organic acids being the main active ingredients. The most important flavonoid components in Apocynum venetum are hyperoside, isoquercitrin, rutin, quercetin, etc., which have multiple effects including lowering blood pressure, sedation, diuresis, anti-aging, and improving immunity. However, its application in gout treatment is mostly limited to oral or herbal forms, with limited research on topical patches. Therefore, this patent develops a topical patch based on Apocynum venetum leaves, which has significant clinical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a gout patch based on Apocynum venetum leaves and its preparation method. Based on the uric acid-lowering effect of total flavonoids in Apocynum venetum leaves, this invention offers a novel dosage form for gout treatment. The gout patch combines traditional Chinese herbal medicine with modern transdermal technology and materials science design, providing a safe, effective, and convenient treatment solution. This product not only improves the efficacy and comfort of the patch but also reduces side effects. The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows: On one hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a patch for treating gout based on Apocynum venetum leaves, comprising a backing layer, an adhesive layer, and an anti-adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises, by weight percentage: Apocynum venetum leaf total flavonoid extract 5-10%; Transdermal absorption enhancer 1-3%; 2-5% of auxiliary materials; Remaining amount of adhesive substrate.

[0004] The preparation method of the total flavonoid extract of Apocynum venetum leaves is as follows: Apocynum venetum leaves are extracted by ultrasonic extraction with ethanol and then purified by macroporous resin column.

[0005] The backing layer is made of non-woven fabric, etc., and the anti-adhesive layer is made of polyethylene film, etc.

[0006] Among them, the transdermal absorption enhancer is selected from azone or menthol, etc.

[0007] The adhesive matrix is ​​selected from hydrogels or pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc.

[0008] The excipients include humectants and preservatives, with the humectant accounting for 2-5% by weight and the preservative accounting for 0.1-0.5% by weight. The humectant is selected from glycerin, etc., and the preservative is selected from sodium benzoate, etc.

[0009] The preparation method of the total flavonoid extract from Apocynum venetum leaves is as follows: Dried Apocynum venetum leaves are pulverized, sieved, and ultrasonically extracted with 50-80 vol% ethanol solution at a temperature of 45-55℃ for 25-120 minutes. The extract is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure until no alcohol odor is detected, yielding a crude extract of total flavonoids from Apocynum venetum leaves. This crude extract is then purified using a macroporous resin column to obtain the total flavonoid extract from Apocynum venetum leaves. The purification process using the macroporous resin column is as follows: the adsorption resin used is selected from AB-8 type macroporous resin; the concentration of the added sample is 1-4 mg / mL, the pH value is 4.8-5.2; the sample loading amount is 2.0-3.0 mL / g resin mass, and the adsorption time is 3-6 h; then elution is performed with 2-4 column volumes of 50-80 vol% ethanol solution for 1.5-3.0 h.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the total flavonoid extract from Apocynum venetum leaves is as follows: dried Apocynum venetum leaves are pulverized, sieved, and ultrasonically extracted with 75 vol% ethanol solution at 50°C for 60 minutes. The extract is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure until no alcohol odor is detected, yielding a crude extract of total flavonoids from Apocynum venetum leaves. This crude extract is then purified using a macroporous resin column to obtain a high-purity extract of total flavonoids from Apocynum venetum leaves. The macroporous resin column purification process is as follows: the adsorption resin used is selected from AB-8 type macroporous resin; the concentration of the added sample is 2 mg / mL, the pH value is 5.0; the sample loading amount is 2.5 mL / g resin mass, the adsorption time is 4 h; and elution is performed with 3 column volumes of 70 vol% ethanol solution for 2 h.

[0011] Specifically, the adhesive layer comprises, by weight percentage: 5% total flavonoid extract of Apocynum venetum leaves, 1% azone, 3% glycerin, 0.2% sodium benzoate, and the remainder being the hydrogel matrix.

[0013] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for preparing a patch for treating gout based on Apocynum venetum leaves, the method comprising: S1: The total flavonoid extract of Apocynum venetum leaves, transdermal absorption promoter, excipients and adhesive matrix are mixed according to the formula to obtain the adhesive layer material.

[0014] The preparation method of the total flavonoid extract from Apocynum venetum leaves is as follows: dried Apocynum venetum leaves are pulverized, sieved, and ultrasonically extracted with 65-80 vol% ethanol solution at an extraction temperature of 45-55℃ for 25-120 minutes; the extract is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure until no alcohol odor is detected to obtain crude extract of total flavonoids from Apocynum venetum leaves. This is then purified using a macroporous resin column to obtain a high-purity extract of total flavonoids from Apocynum venetum leaves. The purification process using the macroporous resin column is as follows: the adsorption resin used is selected from AB-8 type macroporous resin; the concentration of the added sample is 1-4 mg / mL, the pH value is 4.8-5.2; the sample loading amount is 2.0-3.0 mL / g resin mass, and the adsorption time is 3-6 h; then elution is performed with 2-4 column volumes of 65-80 vol% ethanol solution for 1.5-3.0 h.

[0015] S2: Apply the adhesive layer material evenly to the backing layer to form an adhesive layer, then cover it with an anti-adhesive layer and cut it into patches of the required size.

[0016] S3: Pack the patch into an aluminum-plastic packaging bag, seal it, and sterilize it using ultraviolet light or gamma rays.

[0017] This patent has the following advantages: 1. Local targeted therapy, acting directly on the affected area: The patch can be applied directly to the painful or swollen area to quickly relieve symptoms; Reduced systemic side effects: Compared with oral medications, the patch is absorbed through the skin, reducing irritation to organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys.

[0019] 3. Continuous drug release and long-lasting sustained release: The patch can slowly release the drug, providing a continuous therapeutic effect and reducing the inconvenience of frequent medication.

[0020] 4. Reduce gastrointestinal irritation and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort: It does not pass through the digestive tract and is suitable for patients with weak gastrointestinal function or those who are sensitive to oral medications.

[0021] 5. Reduced drug interactions and conflicts with other medications: Topical patches have fewer interactions with other oral medications, making them suitable for patients taking multiple medications simultaneously.

[0022] 6. Suitable for long-term use and reduces systemic toxicity: Long-term use of the patch has lower systemic toxicity, making it suitable for patients requiring long-term treatment.

[0023] 7. The applicant discovered that by using a special extraction method, the total flavonoid extract obtained retained more substances beneficial to the treatment of gout (in smaller quantities, but with significant effects) and had a high yield of total flavonoids.

[0024] In summary, gout patches have advantages such as local treatment, ease of use, and few side effects. Detailed Implementation
