Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a targeted multilayer tablet of traditional Chinese medicine for treating uterine cancer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Uterine cancer is divided into two types: bleeding and non-bleeding. Non-bleeding cancer is characterized by a localized abnormal increase in tumor size; bleeding cancer is characterized by cancer of the uterine myometrium, cervix, or endometrium. In the early stages, there is no bleeding or only a small amount of bleeding. In the middle stages, the bleeding is slightly more, with intermittent bleeding. In the late stages, the bleeding is heavy, irregular, and contains a large amount of clots. In severe cases, the uterus may ulcerate and become necrotic tissue. Metastatic cancer can spread from the lower abdomen, abdomen, heart, liver, lungs, and head to the whole body, with several metastatic tumors in the neck, armpits, and groin. This can consume a large amount of nutrients from the body and ultimately lead to death.

[0003] Currently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments for uterine tumors have several shortcomings: firstly, their efficacy is not significant; secondly, their effects are relatively slow; and thirdly, they cannot address both the symptoms and the root cause. Many uterine cancer patients experience reduced survival time because medications cannot effectively control tumor growth, metastasis, and spread, or because the cancer recurs after discontinuing medication. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a targeted multilayer tablet of traditional Chinese medicine for treating uterine cancer and its preparation method, which can improve efficacy and effectively inhibit tumor growth, metastasis and spread.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A targeted multilayer tablet of traditional Chinese medicine for treating uterine cancer is characterized by being made from the following components in the following weight proportions: 150-250g of Pseudobulbus Cremastrae, 75-90g of Toad Skin, 150-200g of Centipede, 80-120g of Astragalus, 100-150g of Vitex trifolia, 50-80g of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, 50-60g of Scutellaria barbata, 100-150g of Coix lacryma-jobi, 20-40g of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and 60-100g of Hedyotis diffusa.

[0006] Further: It is made from the following components in the following weight proportions: 200g of Pseudobulbus Cremastrae, 80g of toad skin, 150g of centipede, 100g of Astragalus membranaceus, 120g of Vitex trifolia, 60g of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, 50g of Scutellaria barbata, 100g of Coix lacryma-jobi, 30g of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and 80g of Hedyotis diffusa.

[0007] This invention also provides a method for preparing a multi-layered targeted tablet of traditional Chinese medicine for treating uterine cancer, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Multi-level extraction Fat-soluble components: often extracted with supercritical CO2 at 28 MPa and 45°C, and used in combination with 5% ethyl acetate as an entrainer; Water-soluble components: extracted with subcritical water at 120℃ and 5MPa and dynamically circulated 3 times; Step 2, preparation of targeted nanoparticles: The *Cremastra appendiculata* was processed into nanoparticles using a thin film-ultrasound method. Then, *Coix lacryma-jobi* was added to an emulsifier and homogenized under high pressure to prepare *Coix lacryma-jobi* oil nanoemulsion. PLGA, colchicine, and folic acid-PEG3350 were dissolved in dichloromethane and injected into an aqueous phase containing 0.5% F68. The mixture was ultrasonically processed using a probe, concentrated by ultrafiltration, and then freeze-dried to obtain nanoparticles with a particle size of 189±7nm. Step 3: Multi-layer sheet forming: Immediate-release layer: Astragalus polysaccharide freeze-dried powder and Scutellaria barbata flavonoids are mixed evenly and granulated by roller pressing. Sustained-release layer: Mix the Pseudobulbus Cremastrae nanoparticles and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides evenly, then add 5% HPMC binder and wet granulate; Enteric coating: Centipede polypeptides were loaded onto sucrose microspheres and coated with a bottom coating after setting the working parameters of the fluidized bed; Tableting: The tablets are sequentially filled with a sustained-release layer, enteric-coated microcapsules, and an immediate-release layer, and the pressure of the tablet press is controlled at 15 kN for tableting.

[0008] Furthermore: In step two, the emulsifier is prepared in a ratio of Labrasol:TPGS = 3:1.

[0009] Furthermore: In step three, the hardness of dry granulation is 50-60N.

[0010] Furthermore: In step three, the rolling pressure is 8 MPa.

[0011] Furthermore: In step three, the coating parameters of the fluidized bed are: inlet air temperature 45±1℃, atomization pressure 0.8MPa, and coating weight gain 12±0.5%.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, this invention can improve drug efficacy and effectively inhibit tumor growth, metastasis, and spread; Secondly, this invention induces apoptosis of cancer cells by allowing the nanoparticles of *Cremastra appendiculata* to accumulate within the tumor, while simultaneously inhibiting the VEGF pathway and microvascular density through centipede polypeptides.
